GEORGE WASHINGTON, gigantic pulmotor, probably the most massive machine ever built by any government for constructive purposes, has been fashioned by congress under the direction, of the Roosevelt administration.

Some cogs in- this machine are already functioning. By fall its designers expect it to be hitting on all of its big cyliners, pumping new life Into'the business structure with the expenditure of billions of dollars on employment- giving construction and for relief of the debt-ridden In city, village and farm. 'Government As "Partner." The record-breafclnk array of major legislation enacted In three months reaches into practically every field of economic activity, touching the baker, the butcher and the candlestick maker. It establishes an extraordinary partnership between government and industry and between Uncle Sam and John Farmer. It vests unprecedented powers in President Roosevelt and the administrators of the larger relief projects.

Measures dealing with Industry, agriculture, employment, banking, bankrutcy, mortgages, railroads, government economy, securities, taxation and power development have been enacted. Virtually all are aimed at one general objective banishment of economic distress. Employment Increase Sought. piece of emergence legislation Is designed to bring about an Increase in employmnt, a rise in wages and in price levels and restoration of the purchasing power of the farmer and wage keys to increased business volume. Spearheads of the nationwide attack on the depression is the National Industrial Recovery bill, which will be directed by Col.

Hugh M. Johnson This bill- is a two-edged sword, providing for the expenditure of $3,300,000,000 for public works on the one hand, and the co-ordination of Industrial effort on the other by joining business units in trade associations for co-operative endeavor The purpose of the bill is to increase wages, stop cut-throat competition, revive industry with huge government expenditures. Farm Problems Attacked. The second major portion of the legislative program Is the- farm relief bill, designed to raise the prices of farm products by cutting down production where surpluses exist. George N.

Peek will administer this bill. Another farm 1 bill provides for the reduction or refunding mortgages held by individuals to the government or by direct loans of cash to the farmer. Similar in intent to the, farm mortgage bill, is a home mortgage bill which sets up a federal corporation to take over home mortgages In exchange for government bonds, or to lend money to home owners to pay off mortgages in part Balancing the budget Is encompassed in legislation greatly reducing expenditures to war veterans and In reorganizing governmental departments. Lewis M. Douglas, director of the budget, is the cipal agent in attacking both ltems.T™ ntt -Rail Co-Ordmatlon Fostered.

Another Important law is the railroad act, providing, first, for the co-ordination of transportation facilities, and, second, for aid to railroads in reorganizing their financial structures. Joseph B. Eastman of the Interstate Commerce commission, as co-ordlnator, will supervise the program. Several bills attack the money situation directly. Generally under the supervision of Secretary William H.

Woodln, of the treasury bills permit use of $3,006,000,000 In special currency to retire government bonds, the expenditure of $3,000,000,000 by the Federal Reserve banks in the open market for government bonds, the authority to reduce the gold content of dollar -by 60 per cent, or to fix a ratio between gold and silver. Other similar legislation gives the secretary power a hurry the opening of closed banks, removes the gold payment clause form all bonds, and permits the acceptance of sliver in payment of war debts. Get Relief Money Antong the relief measures were bills granting $500,000,000 to the states for unemployment relief, the reforestation act to give to Used Cars and the measure furthering the gigantic, Muscle Shoals plan to create a new Industrial and agricultural area in the Tennessee valley.

The trouble Is a seasonal one, and appears about this-time each year. The turkeys begin to droop and drop their wings, and their droppings are of a yellow or brown foamy color. On post mortem examination, lesions or ulcer- like spots are found on the Inside walls of the cecum appendix and the liver shows well defined sunken circular spots, usually -greenish in color. Mr.

Morris said there is no positive cure for the trouble, but it is controlled only through prevention. If the turkeys are kept separate from chickens, and free from worms, the blackhead infection will not develop.
