INFLUX OF CHINESE
IS PROMISED soon
(By United Pre- ss)

Washington, Dee. 1.-THE strong
probability of a vast movement OF i'm
migration from western Asia to the
United States within the next few
years should demand attention in ad-
vance, according to the annual report
cf Commissioner General of Immigra-
tion Caminetti to congress today.
This movement was just cOmmen-
eng and was temporarily stayed with
the breaking out of war, says the
report, but it is only a question of
time when it will begin anew, when
doubtless the history of previous large
immigrations will be repeated.
immigration from Eastern Asia,
says the report, which has been one
of our most serious problems for
years, has not yet been solved. Modi-
fioations and additions to the present
immigration laws to cope with this
Oriental invasion, are urged. A pro-
vision to the Burnett bill, which has
already passed the House and been
f;., orably reported by Senate COM
n ittee, is suggested as an ideal So
luton.
The fact that no person of the Mon
golian race, no matter how long his
residence here or devotion to our
country and institutions, can ever be-
come citizen, while Mongolian 10y
the accident of birth here" may be
come such in spite of adherence to
the customs and ideals of the land
Of his people, is an inconsistency
which detracts from the dignity OF
American citizenship, in the opinion
OF the commissioner.
Regarding the necessity for eN-
cluding aliens on economic grounds, y
which question has been before the ju-
dicial and executive branches Of the
government, the report says:
at is just as undesirable from the
point OF view Of the communities at
fected, that an alien shall become a
a public charge because he cannot fiHd
a lob in which he can make living,
as it is that he shall become a public
change because he is of poor physique

During the fiscal year 1914 aliens
70 the number of 1,251,4s0 migrated
to the United States. In 1915 the
total dropped to 326,700 and in the
past year only 298.S26 entered the
country.

HEAVY THE PRIVATE

out On his rocky backwoods farm in
the mountains of McGoffin county,

1t had been a lifetime struggle to
wiring a living from the ungrateful
soil of the stony slopes where he had
toiled since childhood. But by bit he
had bought the half-barren farm, mar

rode around by the neighbors, who
each agreed to take one of the chill
dren until he came back. If he didn't
cone back they promised to adopt
them. One by one Heany took the
little ones to the neighbors and kissed
them goodbye Then he went away.
On the border Haney drilled in the
hot sun, following his monotonous du-
ties grimly. His comrades said that
he was queer They didn't know.
Perhaps Colonel Gulilon is the only
nan on the border who knows the
whole story. Haney told him when
word came that his 'oldest gal" had
run away. Heany wanted to go home.
And the colonel would like to send

Marguerite Courtot was chosen by

1. I'VE.
STOCK
BUSTED STRAW FOR FEEDING
Value Demonstrated by Experiments
Made by Canadian and Other
Experiment Stations.

There has evidently not been much
investigation on the effect of rust on
straw as to its feeding value. Most of
the analyses made show that rust in
creases the feeding value Of the straw.
The Dominion experiment station in
CANADA and the experiment. stations In
North Dakota and Minnesota. have
found that the rusted straw has n
larger feeding value than rust-free
straw. The analysis made at the
North Dakota experiment station one
year, however, showed that the straw
had decreased feeding value. The
reason for an increase feeding value
is explained by the fact that the plant
first produces the nourishment in the
stem and leaves and later passes it up
into the head to oil out the kernels.
The rust interferes with this food
passing up into the head. 1t has a
little the same effect as cutting the
grain for hay.
The value of the rusted straw de-
ponds on a good many factors, among
which are the time at which rust
strikes the crop, how the straw is
cured, and whether it has any shriv-
eIed grain in it. Cases have been re-
ported I'm which animals have been
harmed by being fed rusted straw.
o:a:scs ~; way 10 determine il it is narm-
full Is to feed it to few of the less
valuable animals for week or two
and observe the effect that 1t has on
them. Some other roughage should be
fed with the rusted straw and do not
make a sudden change from other
feed to rusted straw. Shaking the
straw TO remove the dust as far as pos
sible is also advisable. Observe the
animals that are being fed rusted
straw to see what effect it has on them.

The regular meeting Of the City
Council was held last Tuesday night
and possibly the most important ac-
ton Of this body was the making Of
a new contract for three years with
the Kentucky Utilities Company to
furnish the street lights for the
city. The old arc lights are to be
taken down and viii be replaced
with the new tungsten street light,
which not only gives better light
but lessons the expense to the city
greatly. The new contract was
planned and drawn by Attorneys r..
II. VIM and r. @. Kern. The Off
GERS for the ensuing six months
were elected, the same force being
retained. Several permits were ask
ed for and these matters referred
to the building committee with pow
err TO act. The light contract has
been a very vexing one and has
caused the Mayor and Council no
little concern but they have handled
the matter Ncxceliently and the con-
tract as made viii result in quite a
saving.

VALUE OF WHEAT FOR SWINE
Tests Made at Missouri Agricultural
College to Find Suitable Sub

CBy L. A. wEAvER)

Information of value to all pork-pro-
.ducers, especially in seasons when the
corn crop is short, has been obtained
by carrying on experimental work
. with other crops grown. on the farm
by the Missouri agricultural expert
ment station. BY conducting feeding
trials with wheat 1t has been shown
that under some conditions wheat may
well be used for hog feeding instead
Of corn. Results obtained show that
when corn is worth 20 cents or more

a bushel, wheat may be probably sub
stitnted for eera Il the wheat is worth
80 cents or less. Likewise If corn is
worth so cents per bushel, wheat is
worth $1.03 a bushel as hog feed.
1t has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by
adding n small amount of tankage to
a mixture of corn and wheat than by
feeding these feeds without such a
supplement.
For example, the cost of producing
100 pounds of pork with corn and tank
age was 60 cents less than when corn
aloge was used. This would mean an
additional profit to the producer of
500 or more on each carload Of hogs
fed.

YOU NEVER CAN TELI.

Somebody called up The Republican oface yesterday and asked who was the republican candidate for lieuten- ant-governor this year. Mayor Cliff ford B. Wilson of Bridgeport has that honor and he is making a vigorous campaign so that it is surprising that he should be lost sight of in this manner Perhaps, however, the rea- son is that in Waterbury there is con- siderable local pride over the fact that Francis F. Guilfoile is the democratic nominee for the same office. It is so seldom in the past that a resident of Waterbury has been named for high state office that MT. Guilfoile will undoubtedly cut considerably into the local republican vote and as there are few better or abler men that MT. Guilfolle, and as furthermore, the To- cal testim onial to his merits prob- ably will not affect the general state result, what harm is there in it?- Waterbury Republican.
