President Addresses Congress on
Subject Of High Cost
Of Living.

tant recommendations.

Washington. = Addressing congress
and proposing remedies to check the
high cost of living, President Wilson
declared that existing laws were made
quate and that high prices were not
justified by shortage Of supplies, pres
ent or prospective, but were created in
many cases ''artiticially and deliber-
ately" by "vicious practices"
The president recommended that the
food control act be extended to
peace time operation and that congress
exclude from interstate as well rs
intrastate shipments goods which did
not comply with Its provisions.
His address was us follows:
Gentlemen OF the Congress:
l have sought this opportunity to ad-
dress you because II is clearly my duty
TO call your attention to the present cost
OF living and TO urge upon you with all
the persuasive force of which am capable
the legislative measures which would be
most effective in controlling It and bring
Ing It down.
The prices the people of this country are
paying for everything that It is necessary
for them to use In order to live are not
justified by a shortage in supply. either
present or prospective. and are In many
cases artificially and deliberately created
by vicious practices which ought imme-
diately to be checked by law.
They constitute u burden upon US which
is the more unbearable because We know
that 1t 10 wilfuily imposed by those who
have tho power and that 1t can by vigor-
Gus public action be greatly lightened and
made to square with the actual conditions
OF supply and demand.

Materials are high. II may be ques-
ton with the individual farmer wheth-
er he can afford to build silo this
year.
Realizing that possibility, the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
believes that many men may be In
clined to give too much weight to con-
str.ction cost and not enough to silage
value. and that therefore the ad-
vantages Of the silO ought at least to
be restated.
Advantages Of silos.
Here are some Of the outstanding
points In what the departments dairy
specialists think Of silos:
In general. more COW feed can be
grown on nm acre OF ground In corn
than In any other crop.
When put In silo 1t is more easily
harvested and cared for than any 9TH
er crop.
Silage operations are absolutely In
dependent OF weather conditions. Corn
for silage can be harvested In the rain.
The silo makes possible full utiliza-
ton OF corn that otherwise would be
destroyed or damaged by frost.
The silo makes It possible to keep
more animals on II given acreage,
which means more manure and con-
stnntly increased soil fertility.
Harvesting corn us silnge clears the
ground early so It Gun be prepared for
other crops.
With silage II is not necessary to put
so many acres In hay.
In my other form n considerable por-
ton OF the feeding value is lost.
Corn cured us fodder loses about 40
per cent Of Its feeding value.
Corn preserved as silage loses only
nbout 10 per cent Of Its feeding value.
About 80 per cent OF corn fodder Is
wasted In feeding.
Only about per cent OF corn silnge
Is wasted In feeding,
In other silage crops. weedy growth

Few Price Drops Not Enough.

In few foodstuffs the prices had de-
clined, but In nothing like the proportion
In which the supply had Increased. For
example, the stock OF canned tomatoes
had Increased 1902 per cent and yet the
price had declined only 25 cents per
dozen cans. In some cases there had
been the usual result OF an increase of
price following n decrease of supply. but
In almost every Instance the increase OF
price had been disproportionate to the
decrea Sc In stock
