u. S. Dry amendment
Not Self Enforcing,
DiStiIiers Are Told

CHICAGO, April 22.-The practic-
ability of enforcing the national pro-
hibition amendment by the Concurrent
power OF Congress and the states, was
questioned to-day at meeting Of the
distillers' committee in charge of the
distilling industry's fight against pro-
hihition.
The point was raised in an oninion
submitted by Levy Mayer, counsel for
the committee, following reports that
referendum petitions had been filed.

culation in Ohio, Missouri, California,
Washington, Oregon, Nevada, New
Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Michigan and Maine.
in my opinion Section l. of the
amendment is not self-executing, and
until legislation has been enacted to
enforce the amendment, the latter will
have no effect and will be practically
dead letter." said Mr.. Mayer in his
opinion. He added that that was con-
trmed by the next section, which ex-
pressly provided for enforcement by
stating that Congress and the several
states shall have concurrent power to
enforce this article by appropriate
legislation"
"lt is, of course, possible for Con-
sress and the legislatures of forty
'lght states to act jointly-that is, con
,urrently,"' the opinion continues. "The
congressional and legislative wills of
congress and the forty eight different
legislatures, if not exercised in the
'a!me Identical way, will lead to confu-
lon that is almost incomprehensible.
"Furthermore, if any of the forty
1ght states act in way different from
hat in which Congress may legislate,
n If Congress legislates first and the
tates subsequently, or if any states
eglslate first and Congress thereafter,
and the provisions of such legislation
re not identical, the conflict to which
nave referred will instantly arise"

" dsfiNqtON bureau
WASHINGTON, April ga call
was sent out to-day by Charles Elm
qulst, executive head of the National
Association of Railroad Commission
ers, for a meeting in Chicago Satur-
day Of representatives of all the states
which, through the courts, are trying
to prevent the increase in intrastatc
telephone rates ordered some time ago
by Postmaster General Burleson.
Mr. Elmquist's purpose is to have the
states agree on a joint argument to
be submitted before the Supreme
Court May 5, when the telephone rate
appeal will be heard The states would
act as friends of the court" In ad-
dition, the railroad rate question will
be discussed
Not since the famous Minnesota
rate case has anything like this been
attempted by the states. At that time
the Governors of twenty-five states
met at Atlantic City and formulated
brief which was laid before the Su-
preme Court and had a very important
bearing on the decision upholding the
states right to fix rates
Some twenty states have sought in
functions against Mr.. Burleson's tele
phone and telegraph rates in the Fed
eral courts. In some instances thew
have been successful and in others
they have failed.
The subject is before the Supreme
Court IN two cases, the government
having appealed from a South Dakota
court where it was held that Mr.. Bur.
leson had no right to change intra-
state rates, and from Massachusetts
"here the court held that the state
had no right to sue Mr. Burleson.
y II MI. Burleson should win in the
supreme Court it means that all the
local telephone schedules in states
"hlch have attacked the rates will be
upset, tor the Postmaster General has
approved scheme for standardizjnq
iocal exchange rates
9 one one reason Representative Halvor
who will be chairman of
lhe Postotfice and Post Roads Commit
tee and Republicans of the House are
planning when Congress convenes to
force the return of the wires to their
owners at once is to prevent Mr.. Burle- |
son from having anything more to do
WITH rates and service. There is a
strong sentiment among Democrats for
calling halt to government control of
ne telephone and telegraph lines.
lhelr chief desire, however, is to throw
NJ Burleson overheard before he docs
rreparable damage to the Democratic
)arty.

A BOOK
FOR FARM RECORDS
(By o. S. Rayner)

my v. .. haynerD
Farm record books are on the mar
ket selling all the way from ten cents
up TO five and seven dollars each.
Usually, however, the difference in
the utility or convenience of the book
as it is a difference in quality Of
paper, binding and selling cost.
One would naturally expect to pay
more for book with high grade pa
per, leather binding and fancy cover
than for book the same size but
with poorer grade of paper and
pasteboard or paper cover. Also one
would expect to pay higher price
for book which was being sold by a
to get his order than if he went into
town and bought the book from the
book store
Record books bought under these
conditions are seldom used. The
farmer buys il because the salesman
is good talker, persuasive, and
knows how to talk to a man to get
his confidence. II costs only a few dol
lars anyway, so he buys. He pur-
chased that book not because he was
especially anxious to keep records
but because the other fellow was a
good salesman.
There is lot of difference be-
tween this case and the case where a
man makes up his mind that he wants
! to keep records and decides for him
self what kind of a book he wants.
| This. man will very likelv succeed in
keeping records. The other man may
start but it isn't long before the
record book becomes plaything or a
scrapbook for the children.
The man who wants to know more
about his business should first decide
I VIII or not he will take the time
and trouble to write his record as it
occurred during the entire year. He
must not be fooled with the thought
that keeping records is a snap. 1t is
work just the same as anv other chore.
To start record and not complete il
IS a bad or even worse than not start
ing at all. But with his mind made up
to Keep records he should decide on
: what kind of records he wants to
: keep, whether Of crops, live stock, la
Dor, feed, etc, and then get a book
. properly ruled and of convenient
size or keeping such a record.
Ihe page should have columns ur
/ and down on the right-hand side fol

left-hand side for the date. 1t is alsr

two-thirds Of the canned sunflower
Again there was so little difference
that the experiment was evidently 4
success, and figures worked out from
It conclude that il takes 2s3 tons of
suniiOwer silage TO equal 4 ton of
alfalfa But II a field will produce
20 tons OF sunfowers, that equals sew
On tons Of alfalfa That il, when alf-
ALA Is worth SIP a ton. sunfiower sill
age would be worth Si2S, but the re-
turn from an acre Of alfalfa produc-
ing two and half tons would be $50
while from an acre of sunfowers with
20 tons il would be $3.50. At SIS per
ton for alfalfa, the ratio is ss5 per
scre for alfalfa and sl27.50 for sun
flowers.
All that is theoretical. of course,
but IT points the way to q possible
solution of the feed problem for our
mountain valleys. There may be ser
ious objections develop TO the raising
of Russian sunaowers. One thing is
that after irrigation they tip over
IN our light soil, especially when the
heads get TO weigh several pounds
each. On the other hand. these points
Of cultivation and handling might be
solved with ease and the sunfiower
develop into tremendous factor in
the feed lots and even make this into

GEORGE WASHINGTON
AS A FARMER

Alfred Westfall, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.
Do you know that George Wash
ington, our first president, was
farmer by occupation and preference?
Do you know that he was one of the
best farmers of his day, that he was
constantly corresponding with the
most progressive agriculturists of
England and the continent in an effort
to introduce more productive meth
DDS of farming into the United States.
He wanted to get the best farm ma
chinery of other countries for Ameri-
can farmers. He carried on expert
mcnts in soil fertilization. By
careful selection he almost doubled
the wool yield of his flock of sheep.
He left the farm to lead our arm
les. He returned to the farm when
the war was over. And it was with
reluctance that left it again to become
president of the new republic. After
completing his two terms. he spent the
last years of his Ire in active super
vision of his large plantation.

low at least two pages for each part
of the farm business with which a
record is kept, as horses, cattle, corn,
wheat, etc. This will permit the ex-
penses and receipts on each class of
live stock or crop, to be kept in sep
arate columns. Then at the end of
the year by adding up each column
the total spent and received for cattle
or corn or wheat or whatever it might
be, can be determined.
In addition to this there should be
eight or ten pages for the inventory
and miscellaneous notes.
Thus, if record is to be kept with
horses, cattle, hogs, poultry, corn,
wheat, hay, and labor, he should re-
serve at least sixteen pages for these
