The further development and pros
perlty OF this section of the west de.
ponds very largely upon more diyersi.
ned farming. The days of the "sin-
gle CROP are numbered and the silo
is the hymn-book of the preacher of
diversified farming.
There were few silos in the United
States prior to 1885. About 1890 thew
began to attract attention, but owing
70 the prevailing low prices of farm
products their progress was slow. II
was not until 1899 that the CONNER.
cial possibilities of silos began tn he
recognized. In that year several com.
panies were formed to manufacture
ana sell silos, and with the general
dissemination of literature pertaining
10 them, general revival of silo
building took place.
The need of special machine to
properly cut and handle forage for
the silo was soon apparent, and the
ensilage cutter" came into existence.
its sales now form a very important
part OF the business of many com.
panies.
By the end Of 1910, there were some
nIteen firms engaged in the silo bust.
ness-all selling silos with a loose"
door.
There were at that time about 500
siios in Nebraska. During the season
OF 1911 this was increased to 1900:
curing 1912 to 5000; and it Is now es-
timated there are 5000 silos in that
state.
According to Secretary Corbaley Of
the spokane chamber Of commerce.
the Inland Empire proper covers
ABOUT 10000 square miles. At the
present time 1t does not contain over
800 silos, while IL covered "a thichlv
as the state Of Nebraska, It would
contain $500 silos, and II compared
Win the state Of Iowa, It would con.
TAIN $4,000 silos. That this territory
VIII In q few years be dotted With
many thousands Of silos we do not
doubt. 1t Is generally admitted that
the Inland Empire and the northwest
Is destined to be one Of the largest
oairy and live stock producing re-
gions In the United States.
Statistics gathered from the variou.
siio companies for 1913 show there
was not less than 27.500 stave silos
SOLO In the United States, amounting
TO approximately $3.50, 900. In addi.
tlon, II Is estimated that not less than
1000 ensilage cutters were sold at a
gross price Of $1,000.0oo. This mar.
veious growth Of from nothing in 1900
70 se.26o.ooo yearly in fourteen years
49, we think. conclusive evidence of
the demand which exists for silos.

These declarations are made in the
report submitted to the legislature
Saturday by commission appointed
last year, which has conducted a de-
tailed investigation In 70 Massachu-
sets cities and towns.
The report says millions Of dollars
are invested In establishments utilized
for immoral purposes, and that pros
titution In all its qualifications consti-
tutes a vast business extending all
over the state"
The report emphasizes the danger
OF unregulated lodging houses, public
dance halls and recreation parks.
"The fact that one-half of the wom-
an examined were actually feeble
minded" the report says, clears the
way for successful treatment of por-
tion Of this class"
while the officials in no city in
the state have openly adopted the
policy of segregation" says the re-
port, "it is q fact that in certain cities
there are streets where the business

as II segregation was the accepted Of
fetal policy.
"In the larger cities the most fla

right to interfere II the letter of the
law is observed"

TRUST LEGISLATION
 BEFORE THE. HOUSE
Final Conference on Plans Held-NO Change in
 Limiting Debate

Washington, May 1S.-Trust legislation will be taken into the House tomorrow for consideration under special rule. on which the rules committees will re- port early in the day. Final conferences on plans Were held today and there was no change in the proposal to limit debate 10 40 hours on the three bills on the pro- gramme, the trades commission bill. the omnibus antitrust bill and the measure to regulate the issue of railroad securi- ties
 During the day a judiciary subcom- mlttee conferred with Frank Morrison secretary of the .Amreican Federation of Labor; J. H. Ralston, counsel for the federation, and Representative Lewis chairman of the House labor committee in regard to the section of the antitrust blls proposing exemption of labor and agricultural associations from certain of its provisions. The labor representatives insisted that labor unions should be specifically exempted from prosecution under the sherman law, but as the sub committee decided to make no change in the measure as it stands, they said they would take their fight to the House.
 
 1slation in the Senate probably will be delayed until the House has passed the bill to create trade commission. The Senate interstate commerce committee, in charge of this legislation, has com pleted its hearings on the omnibus trust bill, framed by it's subcommittee, but ef- forts to get quorum to consider it have Tailed and it was generally understood today that many members prefer to wait until the House trade commission bill comes over to the Senate before taking up the subject again.
 How far the Senate will go toward passing a rural Credits bill at the pres ent session will be determined Wednes- day at a meeting of the banking and cur rency committee. The fact that Presi- dent Wilson has approved the course of House leaders in emitting a rural credits pill from its legislative programme was taken today as an indication that the committee would not report such a bill

They assert that their plans contemplate not only the elimination of Iluerta, but also or his party
 Any compromise which would not en- tirely eliminate the eientifieos from poli- ties" said Rafael Muzquiz. son-n-law of General Carranza. simply would mean another revolution. Another Huerta would spring up and the struggle would continue"
 The news was wired 10 General Car ranza who was on his way to Durango. He was requested to make a statement outlining his attitude toward the situa- tion as developed in Washington. It is possible that General Carranza will not receive the message until late. as the time of his arrival at Durango is uncertain
 Consttutionalist officials said little re- garding the intmation by the Huerta delegates that Luis Cabrera would be ceptable to the Huerta element as proVis- ional President after the resignation of Huerta. They pointed out. however, that the constitutionalst leaders had agreed on General Carranza as provisional Pres
 dent and that General Carranza himself would not be allowed 10 decline that place without the approval of the leaders, es- pecially the generals of the army.
 They added that Senor Cabrera, though thoroughly identified with the constitu- tionaist movement, is little known per sonally to the constitutionalists
 Some said that 1t was most improbable that Senor Cagrera would allow his name to be used in connection with the provisional presidency. These argued that Cabrera would regard the proposal merely as an attempt by the Huerta party to win some concessions from a struggle in which they have been defeated al every turn.
