CORN INCREASES
WHEAT YIELD

o.
The following item written Sent,
1910 shows the Importance Of corn.
'The Hoople demonstration farm
was started a year ago last spring.
The field that Is used has raised %
crops of wheat. Last spring q
part of this field was manured and
planted to corn while the adjoining
part was put into wheat. This year
both these fields are in wheat.
Where the corn was, the year be-
lore the wheat went 10 bushels and
where the wheat followed wheat
the yield Was eight bushels"
This is a good example of the
good effects of manure and corn in
preparing the land for wheat the
next year. 1910 was a very dry
year, the ideal time for testing tho
value Of methods of farming. Ex-
tension Div., N. d., Agr. College.

This was done after Representative

effort yesterday to send this measure
to conference, had tried to get vote
: in the House indorsing the Myers
amendment. Failing in this he insisted
that he be given five. minutes, time to
made it clear that he wanted the
House to accept the Myers amend
ment.
House Names Conferees.
The conferees named for the House
are Representatives Mapes of Michi-
gan, Gould of New York and Woods
of West Virginia. The measure was
brought up under a special rule OBJ
tained by Mr.. Mapes. chairman of the
District committee. yesterday after
noon after Representative Blanton
had balked several efforts to send the
bill to, conference.
Mr.. Blanton's first effort today was
to move that the House concur in the
Senate amendment. Speaker Gillett
said he could not recognize him for
that purpose. Representative Smell of
New York made a statement that he
was one of those who would like to
have the House vote on the strike
section. Mr.. MapsS said he would not
any assurance like that at this time.
After Representative Campbell, chair
man of the rules committee. had pre-
sented a special rule. Mr.. Blanton
made a point of no quorum. When
quorum was mustered Mr.. MapeS re-
newed his request.
Representative Blanton then asked
whether there was any way at this
time in which the House could ex-
press it's agreement to the Myers
amendment, so that the law might be-
come operative Immediately and dis
pense with the proposed conference

In addressing the House Mr. Blan-
ton said that if the police pay bill is
DELAYED in passage 1t is not his fault,
as he wants to see the Senate amend
ment adopted and the law go into eff
feet at once He recalled that the
House went on record also unanimous
ly in requiring that the policemen and
firemen in the UStr1ct as employees OF
the government refrain from aftilia-
ton with any organization which has
power to call a strike against the gov

ment goes one step farther in saying
that no civil employees can go on strike
against their government.

licemen and the firemen if we refuse
to adopt the Myers amendment"
He said that yesterday 1000 to ! 200
employees of the government were at

unless it was adopted 1--we will have

When miners and operators from

immediate issues. One is the time Of

agreement of 1918. The second is the
demand of the miners for so per

demand of the miners for shorter
work days.
Both parties to the parley have in

reasonable adjustment of differences
and to do what is possible to bring
harmony to the industry. Secretary
