Washington, Jan. 22.-Advocates Of
free passage for American ships
through the Panama Canal have mar
shaled their forces in the Senate to
combat the forces working for the
adoption of the Root amendment, pro-
viding for the repeal of the American
exemption provision. Friends of the
free passage provision are aroused to
united fight against any modifica-
ton of the law passed last August.

thority to give free passage to Amer

"shall we inform the world that the

that you must look out for the United
States or it will get the advantage Of
you? That 1t is state summing. slip
perry"
With this vigorous denunciation Of
the attitude of this country in the Pan
ANA Canal controversy with Great
Britain, Senator Elihu Root closed
two-hour speech in the Senate yester-
day with an appeal for the submission
OF the Panama question to arbitration
or the repeal of that section Of the
canal law that would give free pass
age to American coastwise ships.
NSpeaking from the experience Of a
member of President Roosevelt's CAB
met when the Panama Canal Zone was
purchased, and when over twenty
five arbitration treaties were made
with foreign nations, Senator Root de-
livered the most vigorous speech that
has been heard in the Senate for some
time.
He said in his speech that Senator
Brandegee will call meeting within
a few days to take up Senator Eoo<'1
amendment. Led by Senators Root
and Brandegee, both of whom opposed
the original passage of this provision.
determined effort will be made at
this session of Congress to change the
law before it goes into effect at the
canal, so that the cause OF dispute
with Great Britain will be removed.
Senator Root declared the United
States would violate all Of its pledges
and promises to the world; would be
guilty of false pretenses" in the advo-
cacy of arbitration, and would proclaim
itself Indifferent to national honor and
integrity if it refused to submit to ar
bitration, or to retreat from the unjust
position 1t had taken.

native sows and pure bred sires will |
produce satisfactory results in this
state. Although by this method pure
bred hogs are not produced, there is
enough pure blood in them to make
them bring good prices as pork. If
a farmer is suitably situated it will
pay him to raise the pure bred hogs,
thereby being enabled to sell breeding
stock as we'll as pork.
The small capital necessary for 60
ing into the hog raising business and
the prolific increase of the hogs
makes it a most profitable venture
for all farmers.
Hog Feeding.
Following the lecture on hog rails
ing, Prof. E. R. Lloyd discussed the
proper feeding of hogs. He stated
that cheap pork cannot be raised on
grains alone, but that by providing
pasture crops such as rape, clover,
rye, turnips, wheat and vetch in the
fall and winter, and COW peas, soy
beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes and
corn in the summer hogs can be pro
duced for two to two and half cents
a pound. This was proved by expert
ments at the different agricultural sta
tons in the state
