SUPREME COURT WILL
ACT UPON BIG CASES
Initiative and Referendum Are
Likely to Be Decided BY
Judges Tomorrow.

Washington, Jan. S.-With more than
100 cases under consideration, the SUI
preme court of the United States Is
expected to hand down many import
ant decisions Tuesday.
More light may be shed on the anti
trust problem by decision in the st.
Louis bridge case; the hard coal suit
against the principal anthracite coal
carrying railroads and coal-producing
companies of Pennsylvania; and the
cotton corner case, arising out OF
transactions on the New York cotton
exchange.
The validity of several federal laws
may be determined. Foremost among
these is the employers liability law,
which has been under consideration by
the our since last February. A sec
ond decision may be rendered regard
ing the validity of the "Carmack
amendment to the interstate
laws, whereby initial carriers We're
made liable for damages or loss of
goods whether occurring on their lines
or those of connecting carriers.
The fate of a score or more of state
laws may be decided. OF these, the
constitutionality of the Oregon inia-
iative and referendum system has at
tracted the most attention, because the
ruling of the court will be applicable
to laws in nearly half the states of the
union.
Foreign corporation laws of Kansas,
New York, n Texas may be passed
upon.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. S.-Ortie E.
McManigal, to be the principal wit
ness in the federal grand jury's inves-
t1gation of the alleged dynamiting plot
ended his secret journey from Los
Angeles today. Under heavy guard,
he was brought into this city before
daylight and lodged in a cell room in
the government building.
1t was prearranged that McManigal's
arrival here and transfer from the train
to the federal building should be hid
den. The seclusion surrounding the
witness was increased in Indianapolis
because it is here that McManigal, ac-
cording to his confession, started on
many of his dynamiting expeditions
directed by John j. Mcnamara. Nc
Manigal's written confession covering
more than 200 typewriter pages, is to
be supplemented in detail by his oral
testimony. SO his lreselce here will be
required fer several weeks.
James L. McManigal, of Tiffn, Ohio,
the aged father of the confessed dyna-
inter, who arrived to testify concerning
stores of dynamite which were found
in d barn near his tiornc last april,
hopes to be permitted to visit his son.

that he would rule out the record in
the trial OF the 10 Chicago packers the
testimony of Jerome H. Pratt identify
ing the hand writing OF j. Ogden Ar

the government.
The writing of Arthur Meeker anoth-
er defendant on one of the letters In
question, which was positively identl-
fled by MI. Pratt, will, it is believed
be allowed to remain in the record. The
letters over which counsel for both
sides have argued s~trenuously were put
in evidence by the government Satur-
day ana will remain a part of the
record.
Pratt, who was formerly connected
with the dressed beef department Of
Armour 81 Co, testified thai he wrote
three letters giving the record of he
weeks business, and mailed them to
the defendants named. Later they were
returned to him containing figures in
pencil indicating the FIRMS percentage
shipments and profit margins for the,
current week as agreed on at the
Tuesday afternoon meetings of the
packers.
Later Judge Carpenter said he would
withhold his ruling on the disputed
point until after Pratts testimony is

alone is not only looking at it I'M
fairly, but is in addition following a
short-sighted policy in regard to the
business of the farm.
Great Problems Confront Farmers.
Three great economic problems con.
front corn-belt farmers.
First and foremost of these is the
maintenance of a productive soil.
Second, the profitable utilization of
coarse roughage, large quantities of
which is produced on every grain
farm.
Third. the profitable employment of
labor and equipment for the entire
year.
The logical solution of these prob
lens lies In keeping on the farm a
sufficient number of animals capable
of consuming and profitably utilizing
the coarse feeds grown and at the
same time returning large quantities
of manure to the farm. No class oil
animals Is better adapted to this than
cattle OF some kind. Sheep may be
profitably kept for this purpose, but
the limited number which can be sue
c~essfully maintained together on the
average farm Is not usually sufficient
to meet the need; furthermore. cattle
VIII utilize damaged hay, straw and
fodder to a better advantage than
sheep.
Cattle Make Productive Soils.
When a sufficient number o. cattle
are kept, the problem of maintaining
a productive soil is relatively easy.
The manure produced and the bed
ding used not only adds plant food to
the soil, but in addition has a marked
influence on the physical condition of
the soil as we'll as the organic life in
the soil. No doubt one of the limiting
factors in crop production today on

may be greatly increased by the add.
ton OF vegetable matter to the soil.
NO more successful or practical plan
OF doing this HIS been found thar that
of incorporating litter and bedding in
the manur which is to be applied to
the soil. Without cattle most farms
nave great quantities of corn stalks
and straw wasted or half utilized.
Where cattle are kept the stalks can
be completely utilized and the straw
and other coarse roughage most
proftably handled and the residue re-
turned TO the soil in a desirable form.
This source of waste on many farms
amou4ts to more than enough to pay
for operating the entire farm.
How to Make Cattle Profitable.
To make cattle profitable a man
must learn to know good cattle and
buy a class Of cattle suited to the
needs OF his particular plan OF farm
Ing, at a time when market conditions
are favorable. N addition, he must
learn the value of different rations
and methods of feeding In order to
feed 10 as to produce rapid cheap
gains and the desired finish.
There Is no secret art in the bust
ness. Any intelligent farmer may OBJ
tain such information If he cares to
make the effort. The agricultural col
leges and experiment stations have
the necessary Information and data
and will gladly assist those desiring
to keep and feed cattle successfully.
Five years results with a ration of
corn, clover hay, ~cottonseed meal and
silage at the Purdue experiment sta
ton show an average net profit per
steer of $15.34. In figuring the
profits from cattle feeding one must
not only look at the cash return, but
take into consideration the manure
produced, which on the average has a
value of two and one-half to three
dollars per ton $3.50 to So, the in
creased crop yields, the utilization of
roughage and grain on the farm, the
pork produced. and the saving of Ia
Dor which would otherwise be neces-
sary to market the crops grown. In
other words, the whole operation must
be looked at as a part of a successful
system of farm management.
Doubtless conditions in the near flu
ture will be such as to make 1t desir-
able and more profitable for corn-belt
farmers TO breed their steers rather
than buy them, and any n cQntem-
the keeping of cattle IN the
lear future will do Well to consider
this phase of the business.
