Coercion Charged,
Lndbergh charged the governors and
other high officials of the twelve Federal
Reserve Banks have been accessories to
the alleged conspiracy and have caused
a boycott of all banks not members of,
the Federal Reserve system In order to
compel State banking institutions to Join
the Federal Reserve system and form one
gigantic combination with power of ex-
plotting the people for the benefit Of the
conspirators"
That a conspiracy exists between the
Federal Reserve Board and the Federal
Reserve Advisory Council to system
atically initiate bank credits for the
beneft of the alleged conspirators is
charged by Representative Lndbergh. He
further charged that $500, ooo, 900 900 worth
of exports have been sent to Europe in
order to cause inflated prices in the
United States.
Alleging the Federal Reserve act is
unconstitutional, Lindbergh stated that
conspirators have so manipulated things
stitutionality of the act being brought be-
fore the courts.
Lindbergh also charged that the United
States Chamber Of Commerce was or
ganized as part of the alleged conspiracy.
Names Prominent Bankers.
He traced an alleged Conspiracy back
to 1906 when, he asserted, the late ]. p.
Morgan and Paul NJ. Warburg conspired
with each other to secure an act of
Congress providing for new monetary
and banking system, to have in 1t a pro-
vision for a managing board vested with
unusual and extraordinary powers and to
secure persons for membership on the
board who would by subterfuge, manipu-
lation and false administration so man
age as to avoid the spirit and purposes of
the people of the United States"
1t is not expected that the judiciary
Committee will take any action on the
impeachment charges at this session.

table of Farm Animals.

The meat supply of the country can
be increased more quickly by the hog
route than by any other The country's
need to augment its supply is great,
but prevailing high prices alone should
be sufficient inducement to farmers to
raise more hogs. The prospect of sue
cess never was brighter. The high
prices ruling in all markets show that
the demand for pork is in excess of
the supply.
Hogs fit into the modern scheme of
farming on nearly every farm and are
one of the most important animals to
raise both for meat and for money.
They require less labor. less equipment
and less capital, make greater gains per
hundred pounds of concentrates fed.

greater numbers and give quicker

STATE NEWS


Nearly twenty-five per cent of the
wheat crop in the Metropolis dry farm
district in Elko county has been de-
stroyed during the past ten days by
rabbits and squirrels according to a
delegation of men from the district
who arrived in Reno this morning to
secure the services of the biological
survey in coping with pests.
The wheat crop in the district on
about 10000 acres was the greatest in
the history of the state according to
the men. Much Of it would yield thirty
bushels to the acre.
The rabbits swarmed on to the
field and in ten days have eaten and
destroyed fully seventy-five per cent
of the crops leaving only the wheat
in the center of the field still standing
Horses and cattle have been turned
into many of the fields now to eat
what little of the crops there is LETT
and unless the state and biological bu-
reau come to the aid of the farmers
this fall and poison the rabbits many
ranchers will move away is the claim

Furnish Nutritious Feed For Animals
and Also Enrich the Soil.
Prepared by United States department OF
agriculture
Farmers have known for centuries
that the clovers, alfalfa, beans and
peas enriched the soil so that wheat
corn, cotton and similar crops gave bet
ter yields when following them than
when planted after the grains o.
grasses. The reason for this fact, how
ever, is of more recent discovery than
the fact itself.
The soil enrichng, leguminous plants
possess normally noduies attached TO
their roots. These are due to the pres
ence Of great numbers of bacteria
minute living organisms which enter
the roots from the soil. To us their
Importance lies in the fact that they
possess the power of absorbing nitro
gen from the air as ii circulates in the
soil and turning 1t into COMPOUNDS
which are readily utilized in the growth
Of the plants. Plants to which these
bacteria are not attached derive the
nitrogen required for their growth from

For various reasons, however some

cumstances a substitute must be found
and the most available one Is legu-

that 1t is by applications of manure.
Because they also add nitrogen leg,imes
are more desirable green manure crops

Plowed under crops, however, obvi-
ously produce no direct return. and for
that reason 1t is desirable whenever
possible that the same land should
produce during the season one crop for
harvest and one crop for green ma
nure. In the southern part of the
