Oil syndicate, charging that these inter
ests through rival efforts TO monopol
ize the oil properties in Mexico, had beer
responsible for the revolutions OF that
country, and for strife, along the bor'
der.
Senator Sherman's resolution prompt
ed Senator Gallihger 10 read telegram
from Judge L. W. Holmes OF New Hamp-
shire, asking that everything possible
be done to locate his son, Thomas b.
Holmes, only surviving member of the
group of Americans attacked by the
Mexican bandits near Chihuahua. Later,
announcing that Holmes had been To-
Gated, the New Hampshire senator re-
marked that the time certainly had come
for conclusive action in Mexico.
Senator Stone expressed the belief
that the bandits committed the muir
ders deliberately to embarrass the Car
rama government He asked Senator
Gallinger what he would have the Unit
ed States do.
Senator Gallinger replied with assur-
ance that he had no desire to embar-
rass the administration in the Mexican
crisis but said that he thought the time
had come when atrocities against for
eigners in Mexico must stop, and that,
if the de faeto government could not
preserve order, President Wilson should
with Congress and ask
what was his further duty.
Senator Borah emphatically declared
The time had come for the American
people to let their sentiment on the
Mexican problem be known, and he as
'ailed the administration policy as "side
stepping, procrastinating, apologetic and
IN American"
In the House, discussion after the in
of the Dyer resolution was
,rief. Representative Henry Of Texas
defended the administration, declaring
President Wilson had kept the United |
states out of war with Mexico and de-
'ouncing former Governor Colquitt of
Texas for an attack on the presidents
iexican policy.

WAVE OF RESENTMENT
AGAINST MEXICOI
Swept Congress on News of First Mas
sacre of Americans in Mexico and
There Were Many Demands
for Action.

Washington. y. G., Jan, 13-Congress
was swept by wave OF empassioneG
indignation yesterday over the killing OF
American citizens by Mexican bandits
near chihuahua. Demands for action
came from minority members. and while
the administration leaders counseled pa
tienee even Senator Stone, chairman of
the Senate foreign relations commit
tee, admitted that if Csrranza, after a
fair trial, failed to protect foreigners in
Mexico, intervention was inevitable.
The atmosphere was surcharged with
excitement when the Senate and House
met and the storm broke quickly. Sem
ator Sherman, Republican, of Illinois in
troduced resolution to express the sense
of Congress that there should be inter
vention by the United States and Pan
American nations unless General Car
rama could comply at once with de-
mand that he protect the lives and prop
erty of foreigners. In the House, Rep
Dyer of Missouri offered
resolution asking President Wilson if
he did not think the time had arrived
to abandon watchful waiting and invade
Mexico.
The resolutions were not acted upon,
both being referred to the foreign af-
fairs committee. But there was aroused
by the latest Mexica trocity a general
spirit of resentment that most conser-
gative leaders found il difficult TO re-
strain. Senators Gallinger and Borah. |
IN the Republican side. in the upper
House. echoed the terms of the sherman |
which declared that the Car
ANA government appeared powerlcss to /
op with the lawlessness in Mexico and 1
declared intervention the only alterna-

lua outrage were speedily made and
apable of controlling the situation.

WORTH A

'"Sweet clover, once regarded as a
ieed, is worth a billion dollars to
outh Dakota, because it is one of the
treatest soil improvers and stock feed
.rs," asserts J.. G.. Hutton, associate
Agronomist, at the State College. He
says:
Sweet clover helps to maintain the
nitrogen supply in the soil; it makes
good hay; and it produces a large
amount of valuable seed for which
there is a ready market. There is no
danger whatever of it's becoming a
field weed, which has been demonstrate
ed by experiments where sweet clover
is followed by a cultivated crop, such
as corn or potatoes.
"When the agronomy department ad-
vocated the Utilization of sweet clover
as a forage crop a few years ago, there
were many who doubted the advisabl-
lily of using it, and a few who were
openly opposed to it. The experience
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1916-07-06

of the last few years has shown that
it is one of the most valuable of the
legume crops in South Dakota. Cattle
have been learning to eat it in the pas
lures and feeding tests have placed it
next to alfalfa as hay.
"The more valuable food substances
are those containing large quantities of
the element nitrogen. Grain crops and
all other, except legumes, take this ele-
ment from the soil but are unable to
draw upon the large supplies in the
air. Sweet clover draws most of the
nitrogen it requires from the air and
furnishes it to stock in a disable form.
If the manure from sweet clover is
returned to the soil, the nitrogen sup
ply is increased. If the sweet clover is
plowed directly under, the nitrogen
supply is increased still more.
'If the supply Of nitrogen in South
Dakota soils is to be northumberland
