Economy Hearings Are
off Until Next Week

Hearings by the State Economy and
Efficiency Commission on the in
creases asked in appropriations by
heads of departments have been post
poned until next week by Governor
Brumbaugh. 1t had been planned to
have the hearings yesterday and to-
day, but the Governor was busy dur
ing the day with Attorney General
Brown on the deficiency bill and other
matters. including the developments
in the Thaw case and Mr.. Brown had
TO go to Philadelphia.
The Governor stated that he wanted
TO make some studies of requests, in
cluding- those for highways and
schools which he thought were amply
justified and that he wanted to con-
slider pending legislation relating to
the Department of Labor and Industry
before deciding upon its estimate.
The chairmen of the legislative ap-
preparation committees will be invited
to meet with the commission next
week when it begins it's hearings. The
commission will make up the budget
as called for by the Daix resolution
and the figures will probably be more
or less definite.

LIGHTLY URGES AN
ENSILAGE METHOD
Farming Expert Says That Men
Can Get Better Results by
Thorough Study

Northern tier farmers of Pennsyl-
vania had considerable trouble with
their corn crop sown for ensilage last
season on account of the wet weather
and some of them turned their attention
to millet and added it with the i'm
matured corn for silo use. One of the
large dairy feeders writes the Depart
ment of Agriculture asking whether
corn and 1nillet are good ensilage and
practical to feed. L. w. Lightly, farm
adviser on dairying and crop rotations,
saysi "Millet IL cut just at tho right
time will contain as much protein and
energy as we'll glazed siiage corn. and
If tho smaller kind. Hungarian, is
grown, just little more. The grass,
however, grows so rapidly and ma
lures so quickly that We are apt to
get 1T when the fiber percentage is
very large and the nutriments less.
There is something about millet that
the cattle do not like, neither the
grass nor the hay and If put in the
silo alone they generally will refuse
to eat 1t. The additions of corn may
bring about a different condition, but
1t is well to try it in a small way
II believe that corn and millet
mixed about half and half would be
fully as good as corn alone from the
analysis viewpoint only, but pala-
tipillly mas SO mucn TO do with maxi
mum production that analysis does
not tell the whole story. Millet does
not seem to be unwholesome to cows,
but sometimes it seems to have a bad
effect on horses. If the corn can be
grown to reasonable degree of ma
turity, and 1t can in the northern tier
counties in q normal year, l am sure
one can secure better results from all
corn than from a mixture with
millet."
According to reports to the depart
ment there are an unusually large
number of farm sales this spring and
in some sections the farmers both
owner and tenant, have given up the
work on account of the scarcity of
farm help.
Secretary of Agriculture Charles f.
Patton urges all farmers not to re-
duce their acreage in potatoes this
year as continued potato famine
would be a great calamity with the
country in its present unsettled state.
The Dairy and Food Bureau of the
Department of Agriculture has total
receipts for January and February of
S2s9, ,645.2S against a total of slightly
over $3O3,000 for the entire year OF
1916. Prosecutions against dealers
violating the pure food acts in the
sale of adulterated and impure foods
resulted in fines of $1,140.00 being
paid into the State Treasury during
February.
The tendency of the farmers in the
State at the present time seems to be
for the continued use of more lime
and less commercial fertilizers.

GOVERNOR CUT
OUT OVER $4,000
Acts on the General Deficiency
Bill For the Rest of Fiscal
Year

Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh
cut $f2,800 from the general de-
ficiency bill, which was passed carry
Ing $613,576.79 to run the State gov
ernment until the first of next June.
Two years ago his reductions in the
similar bill amounted to S9S,SOO.
This session the House appropriations
committee pruned the estimates OF
over 100000 with vigor and when
the bill was first printed 1t contained
$S65,000. The committee then held
a series of hearings and proceeded TO
use an axe.
The Governors power of reduction
fell heaviest upon the State Senate,
$4,000 being cut off the item for sal
aries and expenses of officers and en-
ployes. AS the estimates wereI based
on a session of $50 days, 1t is said
to-day that the reductions will not in
terfere to any great extent with the
upper house. The lower house was
clipped to the same extent.
Two years ago the Governor cut
$4,000 each from the Senate and
House salary. mileage and expense
lists, these two vetoes being more than
half of his total cuts at that tlme'
The Health Department, which was
cut $4,000 last session, was not
for medical inspection not being
pruned.
The Governor gave no reasons Tor
reductions. The items he cut includ-
ed two which were jumped in COM
mittee. One was for the Senate ex-
penses and the other for foresters in
the Department of Forestry. The lat
ter item was raised in committee to
$4,000 from $4,000. The Governor
cut off $1,000.
The bill contains an item of $4,000
to pay interest on printing bills. whlch
will be taken care of in later legisla-
ton, having been cut out of the de-
ficiency. 1t also contains S43,1SS.3S
for the fees and expenses of the eS-
cheaters and their lawyers in the Har-
mony escheat. The Governor did not
touch this item. Neither did he make
any change in the sum of $500 for eX-
penses of the unveiling of the Oakley
paintings in the Senate chamber.
The fact that the Governor made
so few reductions as compared TO the
cuts of 1915 was due to the fact that
Chairmen Buckman and Woodward,
of the appropriations committee, took
up the bill with him while it was in
committee and reached an under
standing on most of the items.
The reductions are as follows: Mid
wifery licensure in the Department
of Public Instruction, $500; salaries OF
foresters, etc., in Department OF For
estry, $1,000; expenses automobile dl-
vision, State Highway Department,
$1,000: public grounds and buildings
salaries, ETC., $4,000! public printing
and binding supplies, $1,000; main
tenance steamer Commodore Perry,
Department of Fisheries, 5000; Water
Supply Commission, emergency work,
$500; Board of Censors. expenses,
500; Senate, salaries and mileage OF
officers and employees, $4,000; House
of Representatives, salaries and mile
age, $4,000.

Gomez Rebel Army Falls
With Capture Of Leader
Bp Associated Prcss

Havana, March 8. - Ex-President
Jose Miguel Gomez, head of the Lib
eral revolution movement in Cuba, is
prisoner in the Preside, while the
members of his staff, among them Col
onel Quinones, his chief lieutenant in
the field, are behind the walls of Fort
Cabanas.
Reaching Havana in a military train
which was under the command of Sec
retary of the Interior Hevia, the men,
bers of the party presented a rather
pathetic appearance, as they alighted
from the train at the Quinta de los
Molinos station, instead of going as
had been expected, to the terminal
station where thousands of spectators
had gathered to witness their arrival.
Gomez was the first to step from the
train. He was dressed in khaki with
white handkerchief about his neck
and appeared very tired.
Caught between the fires in battle,
which resulted In Gomez downfall, the
rebels suffered heavy losses. Their
dead and wounded are estimated at
upward of 800, while $50 were made
prisoners,

Concession to Men.

New York. The conference com.
mittee of railroad general managers
has authorized President Wilson's
mediators to make whatever arrange
ments were necessary with the rail-
road ~brotherhoods to call off the
threatened strike.
The formal letter in which this au.
thorization was made, signed by Eli
sha Lee, chairman Of the managers
committee, was as follows:
"In the national crisis pr%ecipitated
by events of which we have just
heard the national conference commit.
tee Of railroads joins with you in the
conviction that neither at home nor
abroad should there be fear or hope
that the efficient operation Of the rail-
roads of the country will be hampered
Or impaired.
Therefore, you are authorized to
assure the nation there will be no
strike and as a basis for such assur-
ance we hereby authorize the commit.
ISo VI LIZ Ill I'll AuIAoAoA uO4CAAoO
to grant to the employees who are
about to strike whatever adjustment
your committee deems necessary to
guarantee the uninterrupted and eff
cient operation Of the railroads as an
indispensable arm Of national Defense"
The decision reached by the mana.
gers at their conference means that
tho br~otherhoods have won an impor.
tant victory, although it does not
bring them all their original demands.
BY the agreement it is assumed they
will be awarded pro rata time for over
time on the basic e%ight-hour day
which they have been assured.
The original demands called for time
and a half for overtime on the same
basic day.
The men will get their present pay
for ten hours for eight hours work
under the agreement.
