Feeding Velvet Beans to Hogs.

No extensive tests in feeding velvet
beans to hogs have been carried out
by the University Of Florida expert
ment station. Evidence from private
sources seems to prove they have con-
siderable value in pork production.
The following report, as quoted by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, is
of interest:
"At the Alabama station a lot of
) pigs of an average weight of 81
pounds were turned into field where
velvet beans had been grown in corn
after the corn crop had been gathered.
In addition the pigs were fed a half
ration of mixture of corn meal, 9
parts, and tankage. 1 part. Another
lot of pigs of similar weight was fed
corn meal and tankage in a dry lot.
The pigs foraging the velvet beans
made an average daily gain per head
of 1923 pounds for period of Y
days, requiring 0.3S of an acre of
beans and 10 pounds of concentrates
for 100 pounds of gain. The pigs IN

that per cent of the States quota reach
the training camps each day of the five from
September 5 and 10. The arrangement has
the approval of the Federal authorities.
Union leaders representing a score of
trades appeared before the board for the
purpose of presenting information which
may guide the draft officials in the work
of granting industrial claims.
That labor and capital must cooperate
with draft officials was the substance Of a
statement made by Walter Willard, chair
man Of the board.
I'VE want to be fair" said Willard, but
must be fair to all. Our only concern is
with the Government. We are charged with
the duty of aiding in the work of raising
an army, but in doing that must exercise
care and make it possible for industrial
plants engaged in war work to keep rum
ming. Many men engaged in such plants
must be exempted, but such exemptions
will not be used as a club over the heads
of workingmen."
Willard said that he had received letter
from a labor leader in which the charge
was made that certain Philadelphia plants
are forcing workers to sign wage and work.
ing agreements before asking for their ex-
emptions.
None of the leaders at today's conference
could offer any direct evidence to support
such an allegation.

Edward X. keenan,, president of the Cen

information from workers in the Midvale
Steel plant that officials of that concern
are not hiring machinists who are above
forty-five and that the men are being sub

ply of workers could be obtained If the
Mdyale officials raised the age limit.
That the labor men are not pleased with
working conditions in the Midvale plant and
at the Baldwin Locomotive Works was ad-
mitted by several who attended the con-
ference.

general vice president of the international
brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers,

Tobin implied from this answer that wheh

the plant officials may impose
"That is not the case added Ryan.

Of making a secret deal with the contrac-

ssr IN command. declared was delightful
n comparison with the journey made to the
border last year. when the unit was an In
santry regiment.
I'VE had plenty of water. good light
mod food and good cars" said the colonel
vhen he alighted from a Pullman of the
Srst section at the new detrainment station
near wheless. YCompared with the condi-
tions which surrounded our trip last year,
this journey was a pleasure"
The first section, containing the head
suarters and supply company, a detach-
nent of fifteen men FROM General Prices
staff and officers of the generals staff.
nulIed into the detrainment station shortly
\ after o'clock.
Succeeding batteries of the regiment fol-
,oved at intervals of fifteen minutes until
shortly after 10 o'clock all units were in
except Battery +, the last, and that was
nearing Augusta.
Colonel Turner said the trip from Penn
sylvania was without incident worthy of
note The first section left Noble Station
at. 40 o'clock Tuesday night On the
way down one man was taken i'll with in
Digestion. He was sent to a hospital at
Rocky Mount for treatment and later was
picked up by one of the batteries following
the colonels train. The regiment was de.
layed several hours in transit by a heavy
movement of troops north believed to be
units of the Rainbow division.
Accompanying Colonel Turner were Major
B. H. Whitaker and Lieutenant Robert
Norris, of General Prices staff. General
Price will not come to Camp Hancock until
the last unit of the division has left Penn.

the 153d brigade.
BANDS ENLIVEN THINGS
In the first section came the first band
which has been heard in Camp Hancock
was the Second Artillery Band, and as
soon as Its members detrained they made
things lively about the detraining station
While the men Of each section. as thew ar.
rived, got busy at the enormous task of
unloading. the band played lively music
which set negro laborers to dancing in
high glee.
The work of unloading was supervised
