ousiy attacked the Democratic side
for their support of the bill. THE

Ing economy and advocating public
buildings bills, which fasten obNga-
tions upon the treasury said Mr..
Fitzgerald, should either quit talk
ing economy or should attempt to
stop the authorizations which make
inevitable the appropriations of large
sums of public money. l denounce as
indefensible this method of passing
a public building bill. 1t ties togeth-
er everybody with an item in II and
makes 1t impossible to give close
scrutiny and attention of the bill. |
understand this bill has been SO
scientifically prepared that 1t cannot
be defeated
Representative Hardwick was bit
ter In his denunciation of the bill.
Il believe" he declared, honest
ly and candidly that this Is the worst
bill OF its kind ever reported to an
American House of Representatives.
I do not think that in the palmiest
days of Cannonism, as rotten a propo-
sition ever came to this House. There
are things in this bill no one can de-
fend."

IMPROVED FARM METHODS

Has Greatly Improved the Producing
Power Of southern harm Lands.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1s-AE average
yield of 466 bushels of corn per acre
was secured by 498 farmers in Ala
bama and Mississippi who cultivated
6.352.5 acres in 1912, following the
methods advocated by the field agents
of the Department of Farm Improve
ment Work, maintained by the COM
panies that make up the Southern
Railway System. On neighboring
farms where the ordinary methods
It's bushels per acre. In the same
States STA farmers who grew cotton
under the methods advocated by this
Department had an average produc-
ton of 1,20s.5 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre on 1889 acres while
on neighboring farms where ordinary
methods were followed the average
yield was 531.5 pounds of seed cotton
per acre. c. A. Lawrence, of Plant
ersville, Ala, averaged 1925 bush
els Of corn per acre on thirty-five
acres; A. Henderson, of Greenwood,
Miss, averaged one hundred bushels
per acre on twenty-five acres; B. Kill
liam, of Collinsville, Ala, averaged
2,732 pounds of seed cotton per acre
on six acres; DR.. c. N. Parnell, OF
Maplesville, Ala, averaged 2,313
Q pounds on twenty acres, and long
list of other farmers who made splen-
did yields Of both corn and cotton by
following the methods advocated by
the Department could be given.
These figures from the annual re-
port of Mr.. T. 0. Plunkett, Manager
of the Department, show what is be-
ing accomplished by farmers living
along the lines of the Southern Rail-
way and affiliated companies through
the aid of the agricultural experts,
the farmers in all cases cultivating
their own land with the resources at
their command. The work of this De-
partment has been extended to all
States served by the Southern Rail-
way and affiliated lines, field agents
having been placed in Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Ken
lucky, and Tennessee in September {
1912. They have been cordially re-
ceived, and it is expected that their
work will prove as successful as that
of the agents in Alabama and Missis-
sippi.
The Department of Farm Improve
ment Work grew out of the move
ment inaugurated by President Fin
ley to aid the farmers in the terri
tory threatened by the Mexican boil
weevil to learn how to grow cotton in
spite of the weevil
The field agents in the service OF
the Department are agricultural ex-
perts whose services are given with
out any cost to the farmers and who
work in full cooperation with the
State and Federal Departments OF
Agriculture and the various State
Agricultural Colleges.

fenced to Jail.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 17.-Presi-
dent John H Patterson, of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company of
Dayton, Ohio, to-day was sentenced
to serve one year in the county Jail
at Troy, Ohio, and to pay a fine of
$4,000 for violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Twenty-eight other officials and
employers of the company were CIV
en- jail sentences varying from three
months to one year, and were order
ed to pay the costs of the prosecu-
ton.
The sentences were pronounced af-
ter United States Judge Hollister had
scored the defendants bitterly for
their business methods, methods
which, he declared, were needless in
a concern where millions of dollars
could have been made legitimately
and without violation of the law.
Closing, he declared:
THE Government is strong enough
to protect it's people, whether this
protection extends to the transporta-
tion of dynamite across the land for
the purpose of blowing up bridges or

The House bill favoring a six

lengthy discussion pro and con. All
seemed to favor the six months
school term provided the State had
the money or even had any means of
securing it without another tax as
sessment or the issuance of more
bonds, while others seemed to want
to go on record for a six months
school term, whether it was possible
