FOOD SURVEY BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Upper House Adds Provisions
to Restrict Future Trad
ing in Grain.
REDUCES APPROPRIATIONS

The Senate yesterday passed the first
of the administration food bills. de-
signed to increase the production OF
foodstuffs. The measure has passed
he House and now goes to conference.
The Senate made many important
changes in the bill. adding an amend
ment offered by Senator Nelson yes
terday afternoon which would en-
power the President during the war
with Germany. when it became clear to
him that transactions in futures on any
grain exchange were forcing up prices
of grain unreasonably. to request that
trading in futures in grain cease; If his
request should not be acceded to then
he would be empowered to order the
trading in futures to cease: If his order
should not be complied with. then he
would be empowered to close the ex-
change
Another Senate amendment designed
to prevent speculation in foodstuns Is
the. Poindexter amendment. which
makes it unlawful to store foodstuns
for the purpose Of cornering the mar
ket or enhancing prices. This provi-
sion, however, does not apply to farm
ers. 81
Appropriations Reduced.
( The Senate reduced the amount car
ried by the bill from about $14,o00.000
to approximately $11.000.000.
The Secretary Of Agriculture, under
the terms of the bill, IS authorized,
with the approval of the President. to
make a survey of the food situation. the
amount Of production, the prices PAID,
the markets, and everything pertaining
to foods.
The bill provides for the appointment
of two assistant secretaries OF asricul-
ture at salaries OF $4,000 each.
The Senate also voted to curtain tne
inquisitorial power given the Secretary
of Agriculture in the investigation o!
food resources. The House bill would
compel the attendance of witnesses and
the submission Of books and other rec
ords under heavy penalty. The Senate
committee amended the pro-
vision SO as to give the Secretary gen
eral authorization to investigate the
food situation, making 1t the duty OF

retary to answer all questions neces-
sary to carry into effect the provisions

some fractions got to the French

drove the Germans back each time, ex-

until morning, when they were driven

HOGS TOO VALUABLE TO LOSE

Signs of cholera in hogs have made
their appearance in several localities
AS cholera usually begins its yearly
rounds early in July hogs should be
vaccinated before that time, if it is
possible. This year spring work has
crowded so closely upon wheat har-
vest that 1t promises to be difficult to
find time to get the vaccination done
at just the right time. Yet it might
well pay to take a day off even dur
ing wheat harvest, or at least before
threshing, to get this work done.
When the treatment is given before
disease appears, there is very little
danger Of loss. either by cholera or
by the treatment, while the risks are
multiplied many times if the work is
delayed until cholera appears in the
neighborhoOd. Moreover, every case
Of hog sickness ought to be looked
upon with suspicion, as cholera has
many peculiar variations. The cost
Of treatment, which is that of the vet
service only, the material
being free, is so little that no man
can afford to risk even his family
pork supply, let alone a market herd
The risk will probably be greater
than usual this year, because every
one has extra field work to do, and
chores will be somewhat neglected.

fine SUSSEX CROP OF RYE
and VETCH NEAR LEWES

One of the most promising fields of
rye and vetch for seed is located on
the farm of James 7. Lank, near
Lewes. 1t has usually been difficult
to get just the right proportion of the
two plants to give the most seed. Too
much vetch crowds the plants and
gives only a light setting of seed. If
the rye is insufficient, there is not
enough support for the vetch, which
therefore makes a mat on the ground
and is hard to save. In this case on
Mr.. Lank's place FIVE quarts of vetch
seed and a bushel of rye were sown
to the acre. At these rates the cost
was not great Probably more vetch
would have to be planted in ground
that had never grown this crop be-
fore. 1t is likely, too, that excessive
ly rich land is to be avoided, as the
crop is almost sure to lodge in wet
weather if there is too much foliage,
however much rye or wheat it con
-ains.

ARRESTED WITH TOO MUCH LIQUOR

Pete Nickols, colored. was arrested
by officer Macklin Tuesday afternoon
as he left the Pennsylvania Railroad
station with a suitcase which he had
just taken from the baggage room.
He was arraigned before Alderman
Truitt, where the bag was opened.
Four quart bottles and a tin contain
er, which held about a gallon, each
filled with liquor, were found. Nick
OILS told a story of how a strange ne
gro had asked him to go after the bag
gage for him, but the officers knew
the particular suitcase and who had
taken it away on Monday. With this
as a starter. they arrested Lizzie Ow-
ems. also colored, and she confessed
that it was she who had taken the
bag to Wilmington, purchased the
liquor and checked it to Milford.
With this in hand, Nickols was again
brought before the Alderman, but he
stuck to his old story. The Owens
woman implicated Bob Hudson, col
Ored, and Nickols, as being the per-
sons for whom she had purchased the
liquor. They were all held under
$500 bond, failing to secure which
they were taken to the Georgetown
Jail to await trial.
