WASHINGTON, D. C-, Aug. 28.—
In pointing out the necessity of the
strict enforcement of the restricted
immig:ation laws, Commissioner
General cf Immigration, Harry E.
Hull, po'nte<j eat the benefits that
the country has obtained from those
laws and the dangers of laxity in
the’r administration. He said in
part:
“Consider, if you will, the fact
that ihe total population of the Unit
ed Staffs in 1920 was. 108,444,000,
and that during the following seven
years up to the present t'me, that
population has increased approxi
mately 12.000,000, of which te*':al
number approximately 43,000,000
persons are gainfully employed in
the nation’s industries.
“Then visualize, had restrictive
immigration not been in effect, the
addition of 8,000,000 aliens who
would have absorbed a large part of
our substance, competed with our
American workmen lowered wages,
and menaced our sc*-ial * standards;
and you will realize that the quota
piovision imdeii restricted immigra
tion has been the sav’or of our na
tional life.
“How necessary it is, especially in
times cf unemployment distress, that
our own wage earners shall have the
first prefextence in creating and en
joying Our own great national wealth.
The chief sources of this wealth are
found in manufacturing and agricul
ture. It would have been into these
two groups into which the bulk of
the excessive immigrant classes
would have been absorbed.
“Their scientific restriction along
just and human lines is one of the
noteworthy results of cur national
wisdom, i'g’slatively exercised
through Congress. Cheap labor is
the parent of cheap and undesirable
citizenship and widespread national
distress.
“Even in the midst of our greatest
prosperity we cannot afford to havo
Such a considerable element of the
population withheld from the virtues
of assimilation and citizenship. On
the whole, the immigration problem
is a matter df citi «xnship and projec
tion to labor with us.
“It must net be found, when
American patriotism is demanded,
that it is partially submerged be
neath the burdensome principles of
foreign autocrats. We cannot per
mit the entrance of those who wil
seek to tear down that which our
forefathers so sacredly established.
Am everlasting citizenship which
shall be full erf the faith of independ
ence and freedom in government—
God-fearing, liberty-loving, right
eous c tizenship—must be our aim
and forevermore.”

Brown ax'eas are usually evidence
of diseases caused by fungi penetrat
ing the grass blades and killing them
Large brown patch usually covers a:
area of 2 or mere feet in diameter
whereas small brown patch seldom
becomes larger than a silver dollar,
hence its common name, “dolla:
spot.” Large brown patch usually
occurs i n July and August, but smali
bi'own patch can develop at much
lower temperatures and often be
comes injurious in late spring or
early fall as well as during the sum
mer months.
Much of the damage by these dis
eases can be prevented by care in the
applicat'on of water and fertilizers.
Plenty of available plant food, es-
pec ally nitrogen, is important in
aiding grass to recover from the dis-
ease f but excessive fertilization
tends to make turf “soft” and more
susceptible. Likewise a I'beral use
of water keeps the turf growing rap
idly, but excessive quantities make
it more liable to injury. Since mois-
ture on the blades of grass makes
conditions favorable for the disease-
producing fungi, evening watering,
poor air circulation, shade, or other
means of fa voting prolonged cover
ing with dew all tend to increase the
likelihood of injury by brown.patch
In many cases it is possible to water
the turf in the morning during hot
hum d weathe/ and otherwise so
modify conditions that brown-patch
injury will be reduced.

Larger Appropriations
Roads Than Schools
WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 28.—
The extension work of the Federal
• Governmixnt in the field cf rural ed
ucation costs' approximately 'one--
tenth r-f the amount, advanced for
Federal aid in road building, the Di
rector cf Extension Work, Depart
ment of Agriculture, C. W. Warbur-
ton, estimated.
Dr. Warburton explained that each
State and Hawaii now receives $30 -
CC0 annually without requirement
that the State match this sum with
additional appropriations. The re
mainder of the fund is divided among
the States in proportion to the ruial
population, and with the add.^d pro
viso that the State must provide an
equal amount of money for extension
work in order to qualify for the ap
prepriation. (Total sum provided
for the extension work by Federal
Government is about $7,000,000.)
Actually, thp States, c.i the average,
do much more than match Federal
funds. Fo- the current year State
appropriations were nearly double
Federal appropriations.
Comparing the expenditures for
extension work with other activities,
Director Warburton noted that the
Government spent approximately ten
times as much in aid of roads. Ex
tension activities cost at the rate cf
about $1 for each three persons on
farms or about seven cents per capita
for the whole ^ population. This
amounts to one-twentieth of /the
value of farm equipment purchased
in 1927, and to about one-fifth of one
per cent c*f the value of last year’s
crop.

Visitors To National
Parks On The Increase
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 28.—
A mid-summer check of travel to
the national parks and monuments
just made by the Department of the
Interior indicates an increase of a
hundred thousand over the same per
iod last year.
By the lend of July a total of 1,-
492,120 visitors had been reported to
the national parks and monuments
administered by the department^, as
against 1,388,928 at the close of July,
1927. The national park travel sea
son ends September 30 of each year,
and it is expected that August and
the Labor Day week-end will add
considerably to the increase. Travel
to the national pa’-k and monument
system last year reached the record-
breaking total of 2,797,820 people.
There is a possibility that it may this
year touch the fl 000,000 mark.

When a field of corn appears to be
in unthrifty condition the farmer
would like t r .i know wily. If the corn
does not get the proper plant food
£ om the so 1 the farmer would hke
to know what is lacking. Tests have
been devised by which farmers can
gain considerable informaticn as tc
such conditions.
“The plant foods which are defici
ent most frequently in fields in the
Corn Belt are nitrogen, pc^ass'um,
or phosphorus salts,” says George
N. Hoffer, of the United States Dc
paitrncnt of Agriculture. “Corn
plar.tr, growing under scil conditions
of nitrogen starvation display a yel
lowish green to 1 yellov color of the
leaves and stalks. By splitting open
a cornstalk and applying to the tis
sues a few drops of a solution of dip-
hcnylam ne in concentrated sulphuric
acid the presence of reserve nitrates
in these tissues is indicated by the
appearance of a blue color. The
absence of the desirable reserve ni
trates is indicated by no color
change. No change in cClor and the
yellowish leaves indicates nitrogen
staiwat’on and the need for a furth
er supply for corn health and good
y leds.
If the potassium supply is inade
quate, the- leaves are likely to fire
at the edges, plants die prematurely,
.ard the ears tend to be chaffy and
starchy. To test this, split a stalk
and apply a few drops of 10 per cent
solution of potassium thiocyanate to*
the joint tissue and then add a few
drops of dilute (1 to ^*2) hydro-
chloric acid. If the joint is dis
colored it shows an accumulation of
iron in the plant, and this is a n in
dication of potassium starvation.
If co"n plants are stunted and do
not show symptoms of either nitro
gen or potassium starvation, then a
lack of phosphorus is probable. There
is nr. simple chemical test for this
condition. Phosphorus deficiencies
are most likely in soils strongly acid
.n reaction. If the soil is acid, it in
creases the probability of the diag
nosis of lack of phosphorus.
“The stalk tests,” says Doctor
Hoffer “serve well to indicate the
lim.ting plant foods for best growth
