DECLARES ENsiLAoE FEED BEST
Farm Demonstration Agent Says Ex-

ing, on his way to his home at Col
lege Station. While near Amarillo
he learned the results of some cattle
feeding experiments, where the cake
on gress feed was contrasted with the
cake and ensilage feeding. He said
that the test seemed to be conclusive
in favor of the ensilage feeding. Over
100 head of high grade cattle were
used in the test. Half were given the
cake on grass feed and the Others the
-nsilage. Although the test was not
completed. Mr. Proctor said there was
an apparent advantage in favor of the
ensilage feeding of about 400 per cent,
the average gain of the grass-cake
steers being about % pounds and Of
the others over 100 pounds. in thirty
days This experiment will be made

partment.
Mr. Proctor is an enthusiastic ad-
vocate of the use of the silo and is
well convinced that with the silo the
development of the stock farming Of
West Texas Is just about in its in.
fancy. He is also a firm believer in
feterita as a semi-arid country crop.
With such seasons in the ground as
have come from the bountiful rains of
the fall of 1913, and an adoption Of
the cultural methods of the demon
stration work agents, there is no rea-
son in the world why an abundance
of feterita should not be grown. He
is also, he said, fully alive to the value
of Kaffir and milo.
Any of. those grains are of great
value where there is not an assurance
of enough moisture, at seasonable
times, to insure the making of a corn
crop.
High grade live stock and the silo
will go far to insure an addition to
the meat supply of Texas that will
be to the advantage of the live stock
producer and the meat consumer Of
the country that will make Texas one
of the greatest meat producing States
of the United States, and be the
means of bringing untold wealth into
the bank accounts of the Texas stock

Darlington, N. D., March 26--To The
Forum: read with interest the let
ter of John Common on interest rates
in North Dakota which appeared in
your issue of March a., as Well as
your editorial reference thereto.
In Foster county, but one jury term
of district court Is held each year, and
it takes but little skill on the part Of
the defendants attorney. to obtain at
least one continuance, which means
that a, debtor sued in justice court in
Foster county for debt of 10 cents
can appeal to the district court, and
after one continuance and a verdict
against him in district court, appeal
to the supreme court: This means
that If the debtor wishes he may de-
lay final recovery against himself
for from three to FIVE years. before his
creditor may issue an execution
against his property. This same state
OF affairs exists practically throughout
the state. The exemption laws are
very liberal and are construed by the
courts in spirit of extreme liberality.
The tendency OF recent years seems to
BE towards a restriction Of the credit
or rights and the extension OF special
privileges to the debtor class. An ur1-
reasonable delay In the administration
of justice amounts to denial OF JUS

collection are slow processes and ex-

PROTEST
GERMAN
MRNS ~ - In y" '...E
MONOPOLY
a EWH 81 vi H8H III Ia ~ 81 EN W

Berlin, March %. - Formal action
was begun by the United States gov
ernment against the petroleum
monopoly bill, recently introduced in
the German imperial parliament.
The first step taken was a written
memorandum presented by Gerard, the
United States ambassador, to Gottlieb
Won Jagow, the German foreign minis
ter. This memorandum expresses the
confident expectation of the United
States government that certain in
justices toward American investors
contained in the monopoly bill in it's
present form will disappear before
enactment. ...a.~
The United States, it points out, has
no wish either to intervene against
Germany's establishment Of an Oil
monopoly nor interference with any
price arrangements between the
Standard Oil Co, and the German
government should such be under
consideration. 1t expects, however,
American citizens who invested their
capital in German enterprises will be
fully and fairly compensated for all
investments cancelled by the measure
The German foreign minister did
not reply to the American memo
randum and he may be relieved from
doing so by the death Of the bill. Parlia-
mentary correspondent of Neue Gesell-
schaftliche correspondents voices the
opinion, widely held among members
of the imperial paliament and in
financial corcles. that "the monopoly
bill in it's present form is dead or
has at least been shelved for a long
time"
The committee in charge Of the bill
was to have resumed its discussions
this week but postponed the debate
until April %. Further postponement
is expected.

+ Washington, March 2S.--The legis-
lative battle over the repeal of the
free tolls provision Of the Panama
canal act was renewed in the house,
where the administration supporters,
flushed by their victory in the open
ing contest yesterday, jubilantiy pre-
licted that they would win when a
vote was had on the repeal bill itself
early next week. ,H
The contest in the house today was
largely Of an oratorical character, al
though the two sides continued their
efforts to strengthen their forces for
the final struggle, excepted Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The alignment of the contending
forces remained practically unchanged.
Adamson, leading the fight, for repeal,
declared the Sims bill would pass by
a large majority. He predicted yes
terday's vote of 207 to 176 would be
materially increased in favor OF the
repeal forces when the final vote was
taken.
Underwood, the majority leader;
Minority Leader Mann and Represen-
tative Fitzgerald, continued to lead
the revolt against the Sims bill, main
tanning continuous attack through
out the day. Speaker Clark ANNOUNCE
ed his intention to speak against the
bill Tuesday.
\. Remarkable Victory. .
President Wilson's triumph yester-
day was considered most notable by
the rank and file OF all parties because
OF the unusual alignment of forces
within the democratic ranks. Two
men who had sought with him the
presidential nomination at the hands
OF the party one the speaker OF the
house and the other the floor leader
OF the dominant party--were openly
and actively arrayed against him.
Speaker Clark, though he did not take
the floor today, had issued his elev-
enth hour attack upon the plans OF
the presidents friends to limit debate,
and announced that he would speak
against the repeal bill Tuesday.
Representative Underwood. who has
been in the open against the president
on the issue, pleaded urgently against
the rule, and later delivered an attack
on President Wilson's policy, denoune-
ing the repeal OF the toll exemption as
an economic mistake, and declaring
the president to be wrong In his con-
iclusion that exemption is In violation
fof the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
Other democratic chieftains, among
them Representative Kitchin Of North
Carolina. broke with the president, yet

men who heretofore had but to raise

CATION of the time honored methods
of delay. An investigation Of condi-
tions IN Missouri and Kansas, where
lend1r on real estate security can
foroclose on thirty days notice with
no redemption from sale. discloses no
such state Of affairs. In fact our To-
cal lenders can borrow money there
and lend it here at an average profit
OF 51s to per cent. Ninety days Is a
long time to delay a law suit involving
less than 5000 and no appeal to the
highest court is permitted. Every
debtor should have ample opportunity
to have his legitimate controversies
determined in proper courts. But a
limit on appeal to the district court
to cases involving more than $50 and
a limit on appeal to the supreme court
to cases involving more than $500
would afford every litigant an oppor-
tunity to try his case In two courts.
which surely should suffice the mose
litigious. BY limiting appeals to the
supreme court to such cases the dock
ct would be freed from numerous pet
ty cases and the work would be expe-
dited to the general benefit. More FREE
|quent terms OF court would doubtless
work beneficially. It occurs to me that

Washington, March 2S.--Louis D.
Brandeis, counsel for the Interstate
commerce commission, in opposition
to the proposed per cent increase in
railroad freight rates, submitted a
statement showing that free services
rendered to shippers by the railroads

serious depletion of the revenues OF
the roads.
The special free services under con-
sideration by the commission were
free storage, free warehousing, the free
loading and unloading of cars, free
lieterage, the free elevation Of grain
and various other free terminal serv-
ices.
Brandeis asserted the cost to the
railroads for these free services was
so great as to absorb from 25 to so
per cent Of the freight rate receipts.
In certain instances, mare than the
entire receipts are absorbed. resulting
in a substantial cash loss to the roads.
