HOW DONOVAN GOT TIME FOR DEBATE
 ON HARB0RS BILL
Vigorously Attacked the Practice of Choking Off Opposition By Technical ities,
tRy Our Staff Correspondent)

tBy Our Staff Correspondent
 Washington, March 20-In his re- marks befoEe the house, demanding that he and others be given an ops portunity to be heard in the debate upon the Rivers and HarboFs bill, Representative Donovan of Connec- ticut said:
 s.Mr Speaker reserving the right to object I would like to ask the chair man of the committee if he does not allow those who are opposed to the bill to have any time. l understand that the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Humphrey9 is in favor Of the report Now that is giving all the time to one side. I asked the gentle man the other day to give me al few minutes and he declined. saw the gentleman from Washington, tMrs Humphrey and asked him if he was in favor of the bill and he said he was and he refused to give me any time.
 .sNow here is the sftuation A bill comes tip here carrying some $4e,- 009, GOO and the time is taken up by those who are in favor of the meas nre. suggest to the chairraan that such an unfair proposition sl1oalld not be tolerated. .
 Chairman SharkTnan. Of Florida, said here that the gentleman from Connecticut could probably get all the time he needed underline five minute rule.
 Mir Donovan continued:
 MT Speaker, the gentleman from Washington, MT. Humphrey, minor ity leader Of the comnfttee9 admit ted to me that he YVES in favor or the bill and he has charge Of the time of the opposition. Now the point is. the time is wholly used up. They refused to give me few minutes. Why. the other day there was a $500, ,oeO appropriation bill. and I be- lieve they allowed the opposition three minutes. The agricultural bill came along and they took every moment of the time and nothing for the opposi- tfon. Now those things smack of the way they do things in Russia. This is free country I am only a four hundred and thirty third part of this body, but I am opposed to this bill. The gentleman from Washington glee- fully gloated over the fact that he was in favor of the bill lAppIaaase1
 MT. Speaker, am going to in- sist on 15 minutes or I am going to object to unanimous consent,,
 The gentleman from Connecticut was allowed the fifteen minutes and others who wanted time got it.

ADVANTAGES OF FALLOWING
Among Other Things Practice Tends to
Conserve Moisture and Kills Many
Noxlous Plants.

Among the many advantages to the
credit OF the practice OF summer fal-
lowing may be mentioned: The con-
seryation OF moisture, the eradication
OF weeds, the preparation OF the land
for grain crops at a time when no
other work is pressing. the availability
OF summer fallowed land for seeding
at the earliest possible date In the
spring and the minor advantages of
having suitable land for the growing
OF pure seed, potatoes, roots and yege-
tables at the least cost and with the
greatest chance for success. and that
OF being able to secure two crops of
grain with little or no further culti-
vation.
Summer following undoubtedly has
some disadvantages, but SO long as
the growing OF grain. and more par
ticularly wheat, remains the principal
industry OF the province, Il will be
necessary to store up moisture against
a possible dry season, TO restrain the
weeds from oyerrunning the land, and
on account of the short seasons. to
prepare at least a portion OF the land
TO be cropped in the year previous to
seeding and a well-made summer fall
low is the best means to this end.
Among the disadvantages are: The
liability of the soil to drift, the over
production OF straw In a wet season.
causing late maturity and consequent
danger Of damage by frost. and it is
claimed, the partial exhaustion of the
soil The former two may. to a great
extent, be overcome by different meth
DDS of cultivation. and II the soil can
be prevented from drifting, one OF the
reasons for the latter contention will

DAlRYING PAYS ON DRY FARM
Experiment Solves Problem Of Han.
ding Butter During Summer
Month-supplles Money.

Those OF the dry farmers who have
been experimenting on selling cream
instead Of butter. have demonstrated
the fact that a couple of cows will
maintain a house and family. Feed
for the cows costs nothing during
the summer. as grass is plentiful. and
sufficient to produce a good flow of
milk containing the required amount
OF butter fat. This experiment has
solved the problem OF how to handle
butter during the summer months.
As cream brings fully as much or
more than the butter from the same
amount of milk, leaving the separated
milk to be used sweet. as calf, hog or
chicken feed. this business supplies
the farmer with ready money each
week as regularly as he markets the
cream. and by raising his own stock
feed the cost OF wintering the cows
will not be felt.-Democrat, Las AMI
