Winter Damage and Losses by
Heavy Rains
Agricultural authorities seem to
be urging this year, especially, the
application Of top dressings of fer

grain crops and to supply some of
the plant food that the heavy rains
have washed out.
In a statement sent out by the
Farm Service Bureau, Prof. J. N.
Harper, well known Southern agri-
cultural authority, says:
"It always pays to top dress grain
especially oats. This year there has
! been a wet winter and the nitrogen
has been washed out Of the soil
Grains that survived the severe win
ter are in need of assistance in get
Hing a good start. Therefore, il
maximum crops are to be expected
top dressings should be applied al
once. "Do not wait until Easter
says this authority. "That is toe
late. For oats and wheat We woule
recommend a fertilizer analyzing

ammonia, this to be applied at tht
rate of 200 pounds per acre broad

SENATE KILLS ANCIENT RULE

Never Again Can Little Group of
Willful Men" Prevent Action of the
Senate on a Bill if Two Thirds of
That Body Will Otherwise
Washington Dispatch, March 8.
After more than one hundred years
under rules permitting debate limit
ed only by the physical endurance
of Senates and the provisions of the
constitution, the Senate tonight by
a vote of 76 to 3 put power in the
! hands of two-thirds of it's members
in the future to limit discussion and
| to say when a vote shall be taken
on pending measure.
Never while the amendment is in
the Senate rule book can a "little
group of willful men,, as President
Wilson called those he set respon-
sible for the defeat of the armed
neutrality bill, prevent a vote upon
a bill before the Senate if two-thirds
Of their colleagues will otherwise
The organized filibuster is recog-
nized in the Senate as dead.
Action came unexpectedly after
six hours debate on the rule, drafted
by bipartisan committee. AL
though both Democrats and Repub-
licas had approved the change II
caucus, and Senator Martin, the ma
jority floor leader, had given notice
that the Senate would be kept il
continuous session until a vote was
taken, nearly everyone looked for
much longer discussion.
Senators LaF toilette and Gronna
two of those who opposed the armet
neutrality bill, and Senator Sherman
who favored it, cast the negativ
votes. Senators Cummins, Kenyon
Kirby, Lane, Norris, Stone and Var
daman, who were against the arme
neutrality bill, voted for the amend
ment. Colleagues Of most of tn
senators absent announced that l
they had been present they woul
have supported it.
The exact use of the rule will nc
become apparent until it is enfort
ed, but it probably cannot be SUI
cessfully used to prevent the spectat
ular one-man filibusters by whic
Senators have talked bills pending
the closing hours of a session to
legislative grave. Such filibuste1
probably cannot be prevented unle:
they are foreseen, but an organize
affair which must be planned tv
days or more ahead before a session
= end can be disposed of easily.
Provisions of Amendment
i In brief the new rule provides tn
on petition of sixteen Senators

the Senate by two thirds vote
the following day but one, may lin
debate thereafter to one hour to ca
Senator. It includes provisions
prevent dilatory TASTES and the
PRODUCTION after cloture is ordered
amendments not germane to

Many Senators who favored t
change do not look upn it as c
ture rule, such as prevails in t
House of Representatives., where t
rules committee with a majority
hind it can set the limits upon spec
and the hour for vote. Others W
fear the action declared it was

PLANT RAPE FOR HOGS
BERMUDA PASTURE

For an early spring pasture there
is nothing better than the hog-rais-
er can grow than rape. Six to eight |
pounds of seed should be drilled in !
rows two and a half feet apart. Pre-
pare land as you would for a turnip
patch. A good fertile seed bed is
necessary. Use good application of
stable manure and harrow land af-
ter through discing. For sowing
seed, use a cotton planter Run off
rows. and seed through planter at
one operation. This will require two
men. In this way your rows are
laid out, seed sown and covered at
the same time. Sow by March 18th.
Begin now and prepare Burmuda
pasture. 1t is now generally admit
ted by all hog-raisers that it is i'm
possible to make profitable pork
without permanent and temporary
pastures. See article on Burmuda
pasture and write me if my infor-
nation is desired concerning crops
mentioned in five acre plans for

 THE HAGUE, Netherlands. March 9-Holland is at the moment one big skating rink. From sovereign to humblest peasant, rom aged grand mother and grandfather to the tiniest toddlers, the nation is gliding serene ly, merrilly along on skates.
 In striking contrast with the last three or four mild winters. a most intense and continuous cold spell has set in, and despite brilliant sunshine from a clear sky every: lake and canal in the land of canals is now frozen as hard as the cobbled streets. Even the big North Sea canal leading iron, the sea to the port of Amsterdam is only being kept open by icebreakers Many of the islands are islands no longer. and travellers passing to and fro, instead of booking their steam boat passages, buckle on their skates. The mail is even being conveyed to the famous island of Marken, on the Zuyder Zee. by the same means One can go from the Hague to Amsterdam, 10 Rotterdam, to practically any part of the country on skates. The countryside, ordinarily so deserted and quiet, on the sabbath in partic- ular is dotted everywhere with fleet
 
 towns themselves he who will neec go no farther than the canal just outside his door to indulge in the pastime.
 The lakes outside the royal house in the wood at the Hague resemble nothing so much as fair, with their stalls and seats and barrows and endless kaleidoscope crowd whirlins up and down and in and out, in ones. twos, threeS and fours sometimes with joined hands, sometimes in chain fashion. On the bis rink of the Ice club nearby may be occasionally seen the queen herself 0n skalt $ among the throng for skating is de- cidedly q democratic sport. Private brushes shoulders with officer; in deed l'rIsian soldier was mortified a day or two age to recognize gen eral in the skater he had accidentally overturned.
 Down in the children's corner al the Ice club rink is the little seven year olG Princess Juliana. Mounted on Frisiar skates. she glides and shuffies and slips among the other small kraobelaars' C'scratchers" O, "scrapers') as the beginners are dubbed. Glowing with health and laughing heartily at her own and her companions com.caI efforts, the little heire.s goes up and down the run, Queen Wilheimina occasionally con- ing to watch her progress.
