Pension Bill Still In Air
Rep Beall voted against motions to recommit Rankin pension bill and to strike the enacting clause as debate stretched. Washington reports the Rankin World War pension plan faced continued opposition and a final House vote was postponed after hours of maneuvering. The plan would pay $90 a month at age 85 with 90 days service and a discharge other than dishonorable, costing up to $125 billion in fifty years. The administration opposes the measure, urging rejection amid a large roll call uncertainty.

Delayed Dormant Spray Recommended for Brown Fruit
Pathologists advise using lime sulfur as a delayed dormant spray when buds break and leaves are under 4 percent inch long. Cover the entire fruiting cane with 10 gallons of lime sulfur per 100 gallons of water. Home gardeners may use 4 pints in 5 gallons. Potatoes should be pricked as soon as baked to release steam and prevent sogginess.
