SWIFT & co. BEEF BARONS
Uncle Sam, who is showing
marked proneness to treat the rich
offender in the same manner that he
treats the poor one, is casting very
cold and glittering look in the direc-
ton of Swift & Co., beef barons.
The federal grand jury right now
is investigating alleged rebates grant
ed the packers by the Ann Arbor
Railroad and it is rumored some
startling indictments may be re-
turned.
The charge of rebating has come
up in connection with shipments Of
beef by Swift & Co. to Owosso, Mich.
The government charges that
Swift was allowed rebate of about
$50 a car. This was. made possible
by the extreme generosity of the
railroad magnates.
It is also charged that the packers
were given the usual privilege of
opening their cars at stopping places
on the road and disposing of part of
their stock.
Several witnesses were heard this
morning.

ern governors attending the meet.
ing of the committee on banking
and currency of the house, has left
for Atlanta after declaring that he
felt sure congress would not take
any action looking to the relief of
the cotton growers of the south.
He also stated that under no cir
cumstances would he call special
session of the legislature, as he did
not see what good could be &C
complished thereby.
At the session of the committee
today, Representative Henry, of
Texas, explained his bill, which
provides that $500,000,0OO be
loaned by the government in cur
rency secured by bonds to the
farmers on a basis of $50 a bale
when properly warehoused.
Of the twentY-one members of
the committee it is said that only
Representative Eagle, of Texas;
Wingo, of Arkansas; Ragsdale, of
South Carolina, and Nicely, of
Kansas, are favorable to the bill.
GOVERNOR sIATON TALKS
In speaking of the situation
Governor Slaton said:
Congress is now in session. 1t
is wholly within the province and
functions of congress to do some
thing to relieve the distressing
conditions in the cotton states, but
it appears that nothing will be
done. l cannot say that l favor
the Henry bill, which proposes
an issue of currency in the sum
of $500, 900, 900 to be loaned direct
lY to the farmers through the state
and national banks, but | am vital
ly interested in congress dong
something for the south. However
it is not disposed to take advantage
of the opportunity.
81 had hoped to find some dis.
position here to do something for
the cotton farmer, but it is not in
this committee which is handling
the problem. There is a long sys-.
tenn of circumlocution here of do
ing things, which in its last analys-
is, is system to devise a way to
keep from giving relief to the
cotton growers and the people.
We people down south, who have
learned to look upon congress as
comprising idols of the people,
working for the people, by the
people, expected something to be
done. Instead of taking kindly to
the proposition, it is approached
in censorious and fault-tinding
manner, with an evident intention
of evading the issue and eventual
ly failing to do anything.

EARLY VEGETABLES
REQUIRE A HOTBED
Best Size of Sash Is Three by Six
Feet. Making Pit at Least
Two Feet Deep.

If you want early vegetables you
must start them In hotbed. This is
not difficult to make on the farm.
You can buy a hotbed sash Of any
length and three feet wide. The best
size is 3x6. Dig a pit two feet deep
1t should be protected from the north
and west winds by hillside hedges or
trees. Make frame of IL inch
boards to fit the pit The upper side
should be about six inches higher
than the lower, so that the water
will run Off the glass freely. Use 2XS
stuff for sash supports across the
frame.
Secure horse manure containing
plenty Of straw and place it in the
bottom of the pit, tramping down firm
ly in layers. Soggy, heavy manure
will bake and prove unsatisfactory.
When the bed is filled within six
inches of the top 1t should have a
springy feeling under foot. When the
bed is filled place a thermometer in
the middle, pack 1t in tightly, close
the frame, and the temperature will
quickly run up to 100 or 100 degrees.
This is too hot for plants and you
must wait till the thermometer shows
about so degrees, not lower, before
you plant
The common way Is to place about
six inches of well-composted soil on
top of the manure and SOW seeds in
hot Int hn hot is IN
seeds in shallow boxes, filed with
good soil, and place the boxes on
top Of the manure.
These boxes should be about 15x24
inches and two inches deep. The
seeds can be sown in them in the
house and the boxes carried to the
hotbed. These little boxes are very
handy, also, in transporting from the
hotbed to the cold frame or direct to
the garden. The hotbed should be
made about two weeks before the
time to SOW seed Raise the sash a
little every morning for ventilation.
but do not allow the cold air to blow
directly on the plants.
Close the sash at night In order to
retain the heat This matter of ven
tilation is very important and must
be attended to daily, not every other
day, or your plants will perish.
II you will make a hotbed OF this
kind for your wife-and you can do
it In day with the help of the boys
she will give you vegetables at least
two weeks earlier than without II.
