ROBERT G.. OWENS ON 6
HOUR DAY, 5-DAY WEEK

Editor Republican,
Dear Sir:-I notice in your paper
of Nov. 81 an editorial in regard to
the six hour day and five day week
proposition. The miners will agree
that the Lord worked six days in the
creation and he completed his work
and turned it over to man. But dig
ging coal is still going on, further
more, the Lord was working for
himself and didn't need a contract
as miners do, because we read where
the earth and fulness thereof be-
longs to the Lord, so this explains
why he didn't need a contract, while
the coal we mine is property of some
one else. Contracts are necessary.
We found no record in the Bible, even
in the days of Christ, where any one
dug coal, as his disciple were fish
erman. We are lead to believe il
they dug anything at all it must
have been bait and each man got
the full product of his toll. The
miner has never said he was going
to sit down when he comes out of
the mines for there are things he can
do around his home that will occupy
the most of his time, and we don't
believe that there is an editor in
Kentucky if he could print all the
papers he could sell in six hours that
would continue running his press just
because he had the time. And listen
to this, it is also written in your law
that the testimony OF two men is
true-St. John SIT, and we have
425, 900 United Mine Workers who
have testified that hours is too long
to be under the ground, even If you
are dead.

Mr.. Barnett has not been able to
cast vote in any National, State or

a resident of Ohio County, his voting
place would be in the Heflin precinct
and they have challenged and refused
to allow him to exercise the rights
of suffrage there. In case he is a
citizen of Mclean County, his place of
voting would be Livermore and like
wise his right to vote there has been
questioned and denied him. For a

r.. W. TrOwbridge Grows Sunflowers
For Silage

So many favorable reports from
other places that Sunflowers are valu-
able for ensilage have inducer Mr..
Trowbrdge to experiment ON two
acres Mr.. Trowbridge reports that
his crop is doing very well and he Is
expecting tonnage larger than he
could derive from the same acreage Of
corn.
Last year the Montana farm bureaus
carried ON numerous crop dem0nstra-
tions and did notable work with tame
sunflowers as silage crop, Sunilow-
ers under dry-land conditions made an
average return Of 1925 tons of silage
an acre, and under irrigated conditions
% tons an acre These demonstrations
showed that sunflowers yield almost
three times the tonnage Of corn under
similar conditions. This kind Of feed
is particularly adapted 10 high valleys
which do not produce abundant corn.
The quality Of the sunflower silage has
been demonstrated 10 be good.
We wish Mr.. Trowbridge the best of
success in his experiment. And we
win endeavor to watch his crop with n
great deal Of interest and report his re-
suits through these columns.

the overhead charge Of $11.41 per acre
making a total $6SST per acre for pro
ducing his alfalfa.
His yield was 3.17 ton per acre.
which cost him just $2l.72 per ton.
ON his entire alfalfa crop Of 10 acres,
he made a net profit of S16.95 per ton
acre.
iir Brein's figures on his seven acre
sorghum crop which was sold as fod
der, head and all, are still more in
terestng This crop, owing TO various
causes which every farmer can readily
understand, was planted late, and
therefore, had to he harvested before
IL was matured. II also made a poor
growth and the stand was very poor
But just such things as this happens to
every farmer The outcome ON the
seven acres figured on the same basis
as the bean and alfalfa crops was n
loss of S11.05 per acre, or "A total loss
on the seven acres of $T735.

next month To give the cost of produc.
tion of last years crops provided abso-
lutely reliable Information can be OBJ
tanned Next week we will give the
cost Of producing beans and alfalfa on

the irrigation charges ON this
