ment of Agricultural
The time has nearly arrived for fill
ing silos-has quite arrived for build
ing additional ones if more space Is
needed
Materials are high. 1t may be a 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-
struction cost and not enough to silage
value and that therefore the adj
vantages of the sile 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 an acre of ground in corn
than in any other crop.
When put in a silo it 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 a given acreage
which means more manure and con
stantly increased sell fertility.
Harvesting corn as silage clears the
ground early SO it can be prepared for
other crops.
With silage it is not necessary to put
so many acres in hay.
In any other form Il considerable por-
ton of the feeding value is lost.
Corn cured as fodder loses about 10
per cent of its feeding value.
Corn preserved as silage loses only
about 10 per cent of its feeding value.
About 80 per cent of corn fodder is
wasted in feeding.
Only about per cent of corn silage
is wasted in feeding.
In other silage crops, weedy growth
that would not be eaten at all as hay is
all eaten as silage.
Saved in any other form, feeds be-
come, in a measure, less palatable and
less nourishing.
Silage is all succulent, and all pala'
table.

The Ocean Shrunk.

The impression of the ocean
flight of Commander Read, as he
says, is ''to the effect that the At
lantic ocean has greatly Shrunk."
The enormous saving in time is
astounding, the voyage taking on
ly a minor fraction of the time
that a steamer would require.
The enthusiasm of the British
and the French for aviation sur
prised the Americans. Every
where the future is looked into
for great development, and Great
Britain and France, having tasted
war-bombing realize what an i'm
portant factor the air has become.
Senator New, of Indiana calls
attention to the appropriation of
$3OO,OOO,OCO by the British for the
aerial navigation work, and re-
calls bitterly that he could not Sc
cure a $5O,OOO,OOO appropriation
for the American army. Just as
certainly as nations exist today
their future rests in the air, for
works of war and peace will be
carried forward with rapidity.
We hope something can be done
to arouse the American people TO
the Importance of this new de-
velopment.

Twins.

Richard Spillane, of Commerce
and Finance, says there probab-
ly is nothing more interesting
than twins, unless it be tripletS
and bankruptcies" but he stops
there as it would be SCandalOuS
to 80 further.
Continuing Mr.. Spillane says
someone has figured that the
chance of being born twin is
one in about $40. The chance of
a new born twin to live to the age
Of 80 is one in 50. In the case of
twins a gambler would lay $500
to one at their birth that both
would not survive SO years. Multi
plying $50 by $500 it would seem
that the chance of finding a pair
of twins alive at the ageof So is
one in 100000.
Hazlehurst, L. l., has such a
pair, both being ladies, one a
spinster and one widow. Has
any town in this section twins to
beat this pair?

4 JULIA ARTHUR
q 0R
a THE CAVELL CASE
- rsELECTl1lNpIcfIpfa mmmuu

Arthur through Select Pictures at
the Auditorium in Welsh on Tues
day night, July 29th.
1t took $4,000 feet of negative
film to make the picture, as a
number of the most important
scenes had to be made over sever
al times before director John &.
Adolf was satisfied with them.
Altogether the picture is as near
perfect as it is possible to make
such a production, and IL the
I'handS of Mr.. Adolf and Anthony
Paul Kelly, the author, this means
that "The CaveH Case" is ninety
nine per cent perfect in detail AID
truth.
With the aid of historical So
cieties and newspaper dispatches
describing the actual shooting OF
Edith Cavell, Mr.. Kelly was en-
abled to make an accurate ana
faithful screen story from one OF
the most horrible of all German
atrocities the death of an limo
cent and loving woman. The star
of the picture, Julia Arthur, is a
we'll known stage celebrity, while
Creighton Hale, who has one OF
the other important roles, is q
former Pathe star and has also
appeared in support of Pear
White. Other equally well known
players are William H. Tooker
once Fox and Metro star, arc
Paul Panzer, who has been seer
in many Pathe serials.

OBSERVATION TOUR
FOR DADDY FARMERS

The dairy farmers of Louisiana
are being urged by c. H. Staples,
dairy specialist. Extension Div
ision, Louisiana State University,
to enroll in the Dairy Farmers
Observation Touring Party which
will attend the National Dairy
Show to be held in Chicago, Oct
ober 6 to - inclusive. The OBJ
ject of this trip is to stimulate in
terest in the dairy industry and
give the farmers the privilege of
visiting some of the best dairy
sections in Wisconsin and Iowa.

require about ten days.
Every detail in regard to the
itinerary of the trip will be work
ed out before the party leaves and
all Accommodations planned ahead.
The trip will be both profitable
and pleasant and the expense in
comparison to the value received
will be relatively small.
1t is hoped that a large number
of dairy farmers of Louisiana
will make their plans to take their
annual vacation at this time and
spend a few days seeing the larg-
est dairy show in the world and
visiting a number of the most
progressive dairy sections in the
United States.
Among the dairy farmers en-
rolled to 80 are: L. X. Williams,
proprietor of the ldlewild Dairy
Farm, Patterson, La, w. B.
Smith, manager of the ldlewild
Dairy Farm, Patterson, La, A. H.

COVENANT DOES NOT TRANSFER
 SOVEREIGNTY
Taft Denies Statement of Knox Regarding League
 Plans.

New York, March 11.--Analyzing Senator Knox's objections to the pro- posed covenant of the league of na- tions, former President William H. Taft, in an address here tonight be- fore the Economic Club, declared that the covenant does not transfer "the sovereignty of this nation to the governing body of the league" which Senator Knox "asserts the executive council to do
 "When Senator Knox's attack upon the validity of the covenant is analyz- ed, it will seem to rest OH all assulnp- tion that the executive council is given executive powers, which is un- warranted by the text of the cove nant," said MT. Taft. "The whole function of the executive council IS to be the medium through which the league members are to exchange views, the advisory board to consider all matters arising in the field of the leagues possible action and to advice the members as to what they ought by joint action to do.
 Few Binding Orders.
 "The council makes few, if any, orders binding on the members of the league. After a member Of the league has agreed not to exced limit of armament, the executive council must consent to raising the limit. Where the executive council acts as a mediating and inquiring body to settle differences not arbitrated, it's unanimous recommendation of set clement must satisfy the nation seek ing relief, if the defendant nation complies with the recommendation.
 "These are the only cases in which the United States, as member of the league would be bound by action ot the executive council. All other ob- ligations of the United States under the league are to be found ill the covenants of the league, and not ill any action of the executive council When this is understood clearly, the whole structure of Senator KnoX's in- dictment falls"
 Defends Article 16.
 Mir. Taft asserted that article XVI "the penalizing section" does not re quire members of the league to make war against nation violating this secion. Mr. Taft added that "an act of war does not produce, a state oi war unless the nation acted against chooses to declare and wage war or account of it"
 The executive counsil, he said, "is given the study of recommending what forces shall be furnished by members of the league to protect covenants o the league"
