On the eve of the telephone strike, senators working on labor legisla tion were talking about compulsory arbitration or cooling-off periods in disputes^ affecting public utilities of a quasi-ipuiblic nature. Those are the utilities whose rates are fixed by government. A mater brought to the fore by this winter’s capital transit strikes and more recently by the New York tug-boat and other tie-ups, it is one of several corrective measures that will be suggested tomorrow to an executive meeting of a Senate Education and Labor subcommittee. The committee postponed its scheduled meeting today, due to other business. It is seeking a more moderate form of the Case strike control bill recently oassed by the House. GIVE!

MORE SUGAR PREDICTED FOR CANNING WASHINGTON, Mar. 6.—House wives may get a little more sugar for home canning this year than last season.

A grant of 10 pounds a person would be 3 1-2 pounds more than the average home canning allotment last year. FOR BETTER FERMINR Suggestions by P. B. Ezell County Agent To get ready for a better year in farming, County Agent P. B. Ezell makes these better farming sugges tions for March: Agronomy Make save, and use farm manures and compost in producing crops. Study the nods of your soil for food to feed the plants to be grown and buy fertilizer to suit. Plan to manu facture nitrogen on the farm; that is, grow more legumes. Buy enough certified seed to grow your next year’s supply (to maintain quality production). If not already sown, sow lespedeza early in March. Make last top-dressing on grain before end of month. Horticulture Set out fruit trees for home or chards if not already set. Plant raspberries, blackberries, and straw berries early in this month. Apply spring fertilizer to orchards. Plant hardy vegetables—cabbage, turnips, mustard, spinach, kale, lettuce. Make plans for vegetables for home use throughout ;he year. Get gardening publications The vegetable garden was never more important than now because of the world food shortage. Insects and Diseases Treat cotton to prevent damping- off and to obtain better stand. Mach- ine-delinting of cotton seed should be done before and not after treat ing with mercury dust. Get and study Extension Bulletin 96, “Im- pertant Field Crop Insects”, for crop insect control. Control outworms with poisoned bran mash. Use cut worm collars around valuable garden plants. Plant wilt-resistant toma toes and cotton. Get extension circu lar 262 “Longer Life for Fence Posts.” Give bses better care to make a larger crop of honey. Clean and repair all bee equipment. New equipment will be hard to get. Agricultural Engineering Check over all farm machinery for needed repairs, and purchase or order parts now. Put planters and fertilizer distributors in shape right away. Plow terraces before plant ing ti give them extra width and height. Investigate the possibilities of irrigating the vegetable garden.
