63aD CONGRESS
EXPIRES AMID
MAD TURMOIL
''BiIIion Dollar Congress" Out
by Limitation Without Pass
ing Ship Purchase BiII-Re-
markabIe Session Ends.

Special By United Press Wire.
Washington, March An turmoil
unprecedented congestion and mad
scramble to avoid an extra session,
the sixty-third congress- record
breaker in many espects-expired
by Limitation at noon today.
With an unusual record of legis-
lation accomplished, bangs of gavels
in the senate and house sounded
taps" on the session launched a
month ago after President Wilson's
Inauguration two years ago today.
The President went to his room at
the capitol early to sign the last few
bills before the expiring congress.
Crush of belated business threat
ened invoking of the time-honored
expedient of stopping the clocks
hands shortly before noon to enable
congress to clean up.
The usual scenes of leave taking
mixed with pathos and hilarity were
enacted, but tempered by the press
ing demands for consideration of
real business piled upon congress dur
ing the last ten days because of the
ship purchase bill filibuster. Fate
Of the ship bill was among the last
settled.
Government money was appropri-
ated today in the final rush at the
rate of millions an hour. Confer
ence reports on the appropriation
bills, held up the last minute, were
hurriedly exchanged between the two
houses and as hastily approved. Bus
tie and excitement marked the clos
ing hours of both houses. The full
membership of both was present The
turmoil was more subdued in the
senate, but scenes of hilarious iol-
lity marked the house proceedings.
Swan songs" were sung by retiring
members. Resolutions of felicity
were given Speaker Clark ard the
party leaders. costly oil painting
of himself was the members gift to
the retiring Democratic leader, Rep
resentative Underwood.
In time consumed the congress
which ended today smashed records.
1t had been in session 63T days. The
special session called I'm April, 19f2
leaped into the December session
that year which continued until last
October, adjourning only five weeks
before the present session began last
December.
The principal accomplishments of
the sixty-third congress were the fol-
lowing laws:
New tariff and income tax.
New currency system.
Creating federal trade commits
sion.
Amending the antitrust act.
%
tolls provision.
Authorizing a government railroad
in Alaska.
Empowering use of armed forces
in Mexico.
The war tax.
Creating war risk insurance bu-
reau.
Ratification of twenty-one peace
treaties.
In the jam of eleventh hour legis-
lation two appropriation bills, the
postoffice and Indian, failed. Emer-
gency resolutions to provide neces-
sary funds were hurriedly substitut-
ed and passed. A filibuster on the
Indian bill and confirmation of
nominations were the senate's last
task.
Defeat of the ship purchase bill
and postponement of rural credit leg
islation were the features of the
close. Another important measure
to die was the Philippine independ-
ence measure. The congress expiring
today was another billion dollar

eating S1,120,0 100000. An extra

Girls Study Agriculture.

Some interesting figures concern
ing the work and monetary value of
479 manual training schools, agri-
cultural schools and industrial, trade
and vocational schools for the year
1914 have been compiled by United
States Commissioner of Education P.
P. Claxton, a Tennessean, and are
set forth in bulletin issued last
week.
For instance, Central High School
in Memphis is credited with having
had so boys enrolled as students in
manual and technical training
courses and PIT girls in domestic
economy courses.
In two Tennessee agricultural
schools % teachers were employed,
including 13 women There were
LA pupils, rs of whom were girls.
The two schools reporting were Boil
ton College Agricultural High
School and the Nashville Agricul-
tural and Normal Institute.
According to government figures,
there were 1900 volumes in the
library at Bolton College The build
ing and grounds were valued at
$100,265, the scientific apparatus,
machinery, ETC., at 1851 and the
permanent endowment and pro-
ductive fund was placed at 100000.
A private agricultural school at
Madison, Tenn, reported IS pupils,
81 boys and AZ girls. Sixteen teach
ers were employed.
DR.. Claxton's Office received re-
ports, of course, from limited num-
Der of schools, but the figures com
piled indicate that more girls than
boys are taking advantage of agri-
training. Especially is this
true in Tennessee, due, no doubt,

APPLIED INTELLIGENCE.
Farmers Over State Should Profit by
Facilities at Hand

According to Commissioners OF
Agriculture H. X. Bryson, applied
intelligence" on the farms in Ten
nessee will make for a decided
improvement in farm conditions.
Mr.. Bryson is lending his hearty
support to and is cooperating with
the work of the University of Ten
nessee Experiment Station, and CO.
operating also with the activities to-
ward better farming conditions and
improved live stock by the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway.
A very interesting example
what applied intelligence will do is
shown on the 100-acre farm of Mr..
T. NJ Grizzard in Franklin County,
near Cowan. Mr.. Grizzard has fol-
lowed to the letter the directions
and advice given out by DR.. H. A.
Morgan of the agricultural college
of the University of Tennessee, and
has made an up-to-date and profit
able farm out of what was originally
declared to be poor land For in
stance he now has 20 acres in alfalfa
which averages four cuttings each
year with one ton per acre for each
cutting. One field of three acres
which has already been cut twice
this year is now feeding go hogs and
supplying all the food they need.
He also has a splendid corn crop
which was planted after crimson
clover had been turned under after
the first cut, and then followed with |
four tons of crushed stone to the
acre. He has another field where he
has turned under a green crop of |
rye, and put in red clover as an ex-
pertinent. Another field of white"
soil which was wet land has been
drained with tile and sowed in peas.
These will be turned under-peas
and all-and he says the color of
the soil will be changed, and the
land will be capable of producing
Mr.. Grizzard also has a silo. He
paid for it in one year. He put it
up in one day and filled it the next.
Then he went out and bought Is
head of steers which he fed on silage
and shredded corn 80 days. He sold
The steers for $65 a head-and he
paid $33 a head for them.
He has already sold $500 worth
If alfalfa off two cuttings in one
field, and says he will have three
more cuttings. The cost of prepar-
ng his ground, including labor,
limestone, seeding, ETC., was $40 an
tcre.

Taken Of Ramsey
Seven Hundred Feet of Film and
Beautiful Slides Show State
Park Scenery

The moving picture films
made recently by H. D. Thorp
and showing scenery in Ramsey
State Park were shown at the
New Dream Monday morning.
When the film is complete, which
will be very soon, there will be
seven hundred feet showing ca
noeing on the Redwood river,
the deer and elk moving about
in their park, Ramsey and Red
wood falls and highwater in the
Redwood river. The film was
shown at Morton Sunday even
ing and pleased the audience
greatly.
A set of colored slides of Park
scenes has also been made and
shown the beauties of Ramsey
Park even better than the
movie" film. The views have
been selected with care and
some of them show exquisite
work in coloring. While the pic
lures appear meagre and INSULT
cient to Redwood residents who
are able to see the Park scenery
at first hand, they will prove at
tractive and interesting to those
who are situated less Fortunate
ly.
The Commercial Club of Red

mittee consisting of F. G. Hub
bard, w. M. Smith, H. M. Hitch
cock, F. Carity and A. Asleson
to arrange for the buying of
these slides and the film and to
have them put on movie cir

pie will learn something of the
beautiest of the states proper
ty here and will visit the Park
if possible.
