thoroughly dried that all would pull
together for a greater Omaha and
greater Nebraska and that the old
conflict would never be mentioned.

which his speech at the Nebraska

Convinced that failure of the bill
with its provisions for continuing the

would necessitate an extra session OF
congress, senate and house leaders
were making desperate efforts tonight
to bring an agreement. Chairman
Padgett of the house naval commit
tee said, however, that the house
never would accept the senate bond
issue amendment.
> Peril of Reconsideration.
Senator Swanson, acting chairman
of the senate committee, was positive
that to attempt now to reconsider the
amendment in the senate would stir
up a debate that scarcely could be
brought to an end before the session
expires at noon Sunday.
The house unanimously adopted a
resolution offered by Majority Lead
er Kitchin, declaring that the senate's
action violates the constitution and
infringed the privileges Of the house.
: The ways and means committee
then prepared to report resolution
for, passage lin the house some time
tonight, providing for the bond issue.
They were hopeful that the senate
would accept it later, thus insuring
that the extra fund would be pro-
vided without endangering the nav4l
bill or violating the constitutional
stipulation that such authorizations
must pass the house first.

CUBS GLAD TO GET AWAY FROM
GOLD WIND ON NORTH SIDE
BY Mark Shields

BY MARX SnIelQS
Manager Mitchell of the Cubs is in
an unusual position, being, probably,
the only big league pilot who will be
glad to have his club away from
home during the forepart Of the sea
son. After today five games are
scheduled on the local lot, the team
then leaving for a swing around the
western end Of the National league
circuit. Then comes a short home
stay. subsequent to which the club
will trek eastward and clash with all
Of the seaboard entries.
As a general proposition, managers
want their clubs on the home lot as
much as possible during the early
DAYS. They enthUse over a schedule
which calls for such an arrangement.
1t. means long drills at batting prac-
tice and the further perfection OF
teamwork, for when a team-is on the
road it has no opportunity for morn
ing drill
But Mitchell is glad his club will
shortly be going away from here.
Reason, the North Side park during
April and May is the most frigld field
in the two big leagues and the play
ers are unable to do, their utmost.
They must favor their arms, and the
pitchers are forced to work under
somewhat Of a pull
As an instance, Larry Doyle was
lifted yesterday after four innings of
endeavor. LaTTy's Injured ankle stiff
fened in the chill bTeezes and it was
thought best not to take any chances
with him. 1t is possible Larry will
be relieved frequently until warm
weather cOgaes.
Last year it was the same story.
The North Siders were backward.

ger OF defeat Just before America en-.
tered the war. France and England
both could have held out for years

that the German war machine could

The United States, the president

the avowed intention of leaving mat.

ternational organization to prevent
future war to congress that would

The president believed that guar.

only results that would make the
three years OF fighting worth while,
and that they should be made an in
tegral part OF the peace treaties BY
the entrance of the United States,
President Wilson became the world
leader. II was made certain that by
the aid rendered the allies the United
States would be in a position to dom.
mate the peace conference and to
force that convention to accept its

Thus ii would seem to be estab

for hmerica's entrance into the war
was not to succor an alliance in dan

dictate il necessary a just and last.

that the allies will be forced to &C.

PREPARE GROUND NOWFOR
WINTER WHEAT PLANTING
Sowing the Seed

Sowing the Seed
Best results have been realized I'm
Nevada where the winter wheat f.
planted from September Is to October
10. This gives the plants sufficient
time for good thrifty growth before
the ground freezes, but the plants will
not reach the jointing stage of growth.
When the crop of winter wheat reach.
es the jointing stage before winter
1t will invariably winterkill.
From sixty to seventy.five pounds of
winter wheat should be sown per acre
with grain drill about one to two
inches deep. The drill plants all the
seed at the same depth in moist soil
and insures uniform stand of grain.
Also less seed is required than when
the seed is broadcasted.
Where dry farming is practiced from
10 to 80 pounds is the usual amount
sown per acre, and the planting is
usually from 2 to 3 inches deep in or.
der TO have the seed in moist soil to
insure its rapid termination.
Fall Cultivation
When heavy rains occur in the fall
after the grain is up, a good practice
is to give heavy soils cultivation
with a spiketooth harrow setting the
teeth back at an angle OF about IS
/ degrees. This loosens the surface soil
so that the crop will make more
rapid growth and the ground is in bet
ter condition to catch and hold the
winter precipitation.
Early Spring Cultivation
/ AS soon as the soil is dry enough
| to be worked in the spring the spike
! tooth harrow should be used in the
same manner as with the fall cultiva-
ton TO open up the soil so that il
will better receive water by rainfall
or irrigation. and also provide a loose
mulch on the surface TO prevent rapid
loss of water by evaporation. Gener.
| ally the greater the development of
Pia'h' az tiit pNAOlt llllSdllOI,
the higher will be the yield of grain
| For this reason the cultivation is
necessary to hold all possible moisture
in the soil and extend the time of the
I first irrigation as late as possible in
the spring or early summer. 4 certain
| small number OF plant will be pulled
out by the harrow, but the slight in
jury TO the stand will in no way equal
the benefit Of the crop by the cuitiva-
ton.
Farmers who desire seed should
correspond at once with the state
committee on food resources, Univer-
sity of Nevada and their requests will
receive immediate attention.
DEAN CHAS. s. KNIGHT,
Chairman State Committee on Food
Resources.
