West Virginia Senators and South
ern Republicans Form Pact on

1t was the opinion among some of the
leaders of the House at a late hour this
afternoon that it would be possible to
reach an agreement among the republi-
cans between now and next Monday
which will permit the bringing in of
rule 10 close general debate on the tariff
bill and secure an early vote. The rule,
il is thought. would contemplate sep
arate vote on lumber tea, coffee and
some of the agricultural products. This
is only tentative. however, and the scope
might be broadened before final decision
is reached
The leaders. if they bring in a rule
next Monday. will suggest April 10 as
the date for final vote on the tariff bill.
1t was stated this afternoon that the
ways and means committee had agreed
at the solicitation of the Minnesota dele
cation To permit separate vote in the
House on the lumber schedule and the
duty on barley.
Representative Tawney has been sound
ing the different delegations in the eff
fort 10 bring about agreement upon a
rule which will enable the House lead
ers to pass the tariff bill as a republican
measure and prevent the democrats by
taking advantage of dissatisfaction of lit
lie groups of republicans from giving
the bill more of democratic aspect than
republican.
Mr. Tawney said this afternoon that in
dications seem to favor a growing DISPOSE
tion on the part of delegations to get to-
gether. think their individual differences
over and agree upon general policy to
stand by the bill essentially in it's present
form. He thought that the opportunity
would be afforded for a separate vote on
several items. including lumber and some
of the agricultural products

This was the reply of the House leaders
today to inquiries as to their plan for
closing general debate and proceeding to
a vote on the tariff bill, through the
means either of a caucus or rule to
be brought in by committee on rules
The process of capitalization of senti-
ment is frequent conferences of the del
egation upon the amendments to the bill
on which they desired a record vote in
the House. and whether they will abide
by the decision of a caucus which might
decide to lay the bill open to radical
amendment. Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa
Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and other
western delegations are holding meetings
from time to time to try to fran d gen
eral policy upon which the delegations
stand as a unit.
These meetings have thus far disclosed
why differences of opinion exist among
the individual members of delegations.
They have also developed the existence
of fear on the part of many to go into
caucus lest the House organization
might tie them to policies which they
would have difficulty i'll satisfactorily ex-
planning TO their constituents.

Head OF Reclamation Service VIII
Address Dry Farming Congress

F. Fl. Newell, director Of the Uni
ted States reclamation service, during
a recent visit to Billings, when he
met Secretary John t. Burns Of the
Dry Farming Congress, accepted ar
invitation to attend the Fourth DRY
Farming Congress which will meet al
Billings, Mont, October 1928, and &c
address the congress on 'sThe Rela-
ton Between Dry Farming and Irri-
cation. -
Director Newell said dry farming
offered solution for some Of the
problems which the reclamation serv-
Ice is facing.
DRY farming and irrigation should
go hand in hand, said Mr.. Newell
''in the development of the west.
They are correlated, mutually supple
mental factors and not inimical rivals.
One of the complaints we hear from
the farmers under the projects of the
reclamation service is that the govern
ment is not furnishing them with
enough water. We have gone into
this subject thoroughly and have de-
termined the amount of water neces-
sary to irrigate tract Of land from
premises of scientific soundness. The
fact is, that the farmers are inclined
to irrigation. One Of the great
dangers of the settlers under these
projects is the danger of not only
wasteful, but positively damaging
over-irrigation. It is one Of our most
difficult tasks to teach the farmer how
to use his water, how to regulate his
irrigation to get the best results. The
application of dry farming methods Of
cultivation will go a long way to
solve this problem. Scientific agrieul-
ture is necessary to get the best crops
in our western states and I would
like to have the principles Of intelli-
gent cultivation understood by every
settler. Moisture conserving methods
of tillage will effect a great saving
to the irrigationist in water as well
as give him better crops than he will
get if he irrigates too much, or IN a
haphazard manner. This is one Of the
subjects which should be discussed at
your congress. Dry farming methods
in combination with irrigation will
hasten the development Of these great
tracts which are being proclaimed I'M
der the government projects. =
