The vaet amount of legislation enacted waa analysed and lta Importance to the country set forth. "The one thing that was lacking In that luminary waa any reference to the Herculean effort of Senator Robinson, lie took no credit for himself although It waa everywhere realised that Senator Robinson had been the key man in accomplishing that great amount of work. Congress still will be In session on June 10, 1935. Senator Robinson, of course, will not present a summary of legislative enactments by the current session until the closing day and your gueaa la as good as mine aa to when that will be. But after virtually five months of the current session, observers cannot help looking back to see what has been done. Comparisons can hardly he avoided. We find from the records at the Ospltol that a total of fifty laws of a public character have completed passage through congress and have received Presidential consideration. That number appears large an average of ten plecea of legislation a month but when the nature of the bills themselves Is examined, a contrary conclusion must be reached. I have reported to you heretofore some details of how congress has been balky. Undeninbly, there has been stalling and delays accountable only In politics. There have been controversies over entirely minor and Inconsequential matters. Individual representatives and senators having no claims to leadership either from ability or seniority have been able to block enactments In a fashion almost unknown except where congress has been at loggerheads with the Chief Executive. Through all of these, I think It Is fair to say that Senator Robinson has been the most vigorous fighter In behalf of the New Deal of any who maintains s position of prominence In the present administration. Instead of receiving credit, pats on the back, as he did a year ago, the Arkansas senator has been receiving some kicks In the wholly unwarranted pants. If there Is to be a goat In congress through the failure of some of the highly controversial New Deal legislation It Is liable to be Joe Robinson. If such Is the result. It will demonstrate better than anything else the Ingratitude of politics because observers agree that except for Senator Robinson the senate would be out of hand and President Roosevelt renl-l- y would have a serious problem as regards the enactment of bis program. n It is my own belief that Senator deserves all of the acclaim which the New Dealers ran heap upon him instead of criticism that is cropping up here and there. Senator Robinson's Job lias been made much more dlfllcult than a senate leader's Job ought to be by constant messing from brain trust quarters. By the same token Senator McXnry, of Oregon, who carries the title of Republican leader, has bail numerous opportunities to give prominence to Republican dnctrl er. But Senator McNary has been Just as quiet us Sen. utor Robinson lias been active. the Key Man WWi rwr pMck' mim aff with nr brat mUnpt Jut imita Mr. "0 vtU to appnclaUa Baa Itowtiy.' uj FATKONIZK BOMB INDUSTRY IHEWLETTS SPu-Tr..VrV- e.

It must be discharged several times for large swarms and must be sprayed at a height of alsmt 100 feet to avoid damage to crops. During the past nine years locust warm have been devastating vast areas In Africa and western Asia, and since 1!C!9 cxierta have lawn studying means of controlling the insects. Recently, at an International locust conference held In London, it was resolved that the locusts could lie halted through the control of their breeding grounds, or, If they are already In migration, through their destruction In flight. Agricultural development In Africa has been considerably Impelled by the depredations of tbe locusts, which have paused losses of approximately 535,000,000. Investigations have now disclosed that each species of locust luhulilts exclusively a definite zone of vegetation and that Its migrations are governed by the seasons. Many of these breeding regions have now I icon located. The desert locust, for instance, is known to breed In the remote lunds south of the Sahara and to migrate northward to the fertile Mediterranean coast of Africa. Once the breeding areas have been found, tlie conference reports, tlie next step in control Is to establish field stations where the life habits of tlie Insects will be studied. Evidence alreuily gathered tends to show thnt swarms form when tlie life cycles of solitary locusts are accelerated, causing a rapid multiplication of number. As swarms gather preparatory to flight. If their migratory courses have been discovered as well aa their breeding sources, it Is then possible, recent cxiieriments in Africa Indicate, to destroy them with poison dust sprayed from airplanes, locusts make no effort, It has been shown, to avoid a cloud of sodium arsenate (lust blown across their line of flight.
