Two ResoIutions Introduced.

Two measures designed to bring
relief from the high cost of living
were introduced in the House yes
terday. One. a resolution by Rep
resentativc Flood (DemocraD Of
Virginia, proposes an investigation
by the Federal Trade Commission
of the increased cost of farm ma
Chinery and fertilizers. Prices Of
those commodities, Mr.. Flood said
have scared beyond the relative
prices received by the farmers for
their products.
The other was a bill by Repre-
sentative Summers CDemocrat) of
Texas, which would authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture to estab-
lish a farm produce exchange with
as many branches as are necessary
in order to afford medium
through which farm products could
be economically and systematically
distributed.
Discussing his bill. Mr.. Summers
said:
BY standardizinC agricultural
products their description would be
translated into a universally un-
derstOod trade language and they
would thereby be given a CONNER
cial status everywhere, while ply
siCally still at the point of origin
The produce exchange system
provided for would make it possible
for every market to get into trad
ing relationship with every source
of supply and every shipping unit
of any community to have access
to every market.
THE imposition of the obligation
to accept according to bid and to
deliver according to offer. as a con-
ditiOn precedent. and the interme-
diary supervision and inspection
provided for in the bill would in
sure the necessary mutual conf
denCe that there would be integrity
of transaction
Commodities would move under
prior sale from the point of origin
to the point of use by the shortest
and best economic route. in qua1ity
and quantity, in accord with the
demand for use"

ONE PLACE WHERE

Principle of Democracy as Applied to
Industry Is Recognized-System
to Be Extended to Other De-
partments Of Government.

Washington, d. C.-Actual control
of the production activities of Rock
Island arsenal harness shops, includ-
ing appointment of foremen and the
determination of prices to be paid
workmen, has been turned over to
committees of the employees. This
became known Monday when Secretary
Baker made public correspondence be-
tween the war department and re-
representatives. of the employees. Mat
tiers of administration are left with
the regular management, but even
bids submitted on contracts are in
fluenced by the committees.
In carrying out the new plan, which
is characterized in the correspond
ence as the first recognition of the
principle of democracy as applied to
the manufacturing industry, an ar
senal orders branch would be estab-
lished in the ordnance department
here to obtain orders from other gov
ernmental agencies. An advisory
committee of employees representa-
tives Is included in this branch who
actively assist in figuring cost when
bidding for work"
Results in Greater Efficiency.
Official reports to Secretary Baker
assert that the result has not only
been greatly increased efficiency and
contentment among the men, but
radical reduction in manufacturing
costs. Two examples cited are orders
for mail sacks, formerly costing $45
per thousand, but produced at Rock
Island for $3S, and an order for ash
muth optics at prices reduced from
$55 each to $20.75.
1t is learned that the system would
be extended to other departments of
the Rock Island arsenal and if found
successful would be placed in opera
ton in all United States arsenals.

SELECTION OF BEST
VARIETIES OF SEED

Experiments.

prepared by the United States Depart

The Importance Of selecting q crop
variety that is suited to the section in
which 1t is grown is indicated In num-
Der Of varietal experiments conducted
at various field stations last year. In
cooperative experiments at the Dick
insoh substation, North Dakota, num-
Der Of varieties Of common wheat
grown under similar conditions pro-
duced yields which varied from 1914
bushels an acre to lib bushels. The
variations In yields of varieties of
an acre to 1872 bushels. A wide vari-
alton was obtained In similar expert
ments with oats, the range being from
1915 bushels An acre to 1913 bushels.
Barley showed variation which
ranged from 23.6 bushels an acre to
81 bushels.
At the Cheyenne field station in
Wyoming varietal experiments with
winter wheat gave yields which ranged
from an average Of 35.5 bushels an acre
to 28.4 bushels; with spring wheat,
41.2 bushels to 1876 bushels; with oats,
1913 bushels to 37.8 bushels; with bar
ley. 1871 bushels to ALA bushels.
At the Nephi substation, in Utah,
cooperative results with varieties Of
winter wheat showed a variation rang
ing from 23.8 bushels an acre to %
bushels, and with spring wheat from
1877 bushels to SO bushels.
Similar experiments conducted In
California with wheat showed a vari-
ation in yield ranging from 80 bushels
an acre to 1875 bushels. In a series Of
years the average yields Of varieties
usually do not vary 20 widely a. these
yields Of a single year, but It Is gen.
orally found that certain varieties give
better average yields than others and
are therefore more profitable.

In the sale of birds for breeding pur-

One year later, in 1917, he started out
with business of his own, using his
own business cards, his own business

That Each Will Get Its Share,

toned to it. At first hay should be fur
nished only handful at a time, and
be placed so that 1t cannot be soiled.
For the first six months, at least, the
calf should receive all the rouchage.
OF good quality TINT it will eat up
clean. When the calf has access to
good pasture during the first six
months 1t need not receive other
roughage. 1t is not advisable, howey-
er, to have the calf under two months
OF age on pasture in the early spring.

One important thing to be borne IN
mind Is that no organization will con-
tinue to exist that does not have some
definite plan Of work and some definite
purpose to accomplish. 1t should be
remembered, however, that too many
activities may result in failure. A few
well-defined policies or purposes sue

mean permanency and success for these
organizations. Those responsible for
the county organization should lay
their plans well into the future, and
keep interest In the various local clubs
active. Road improvement, county

vocational education, standardized cot
ton and corn for the county, improved
breeds of live stock especially adapted
to local conditions, cooperative mar
keting, public entertainments, and So
cial welfare are some Of the projects
being undertaken by county organiza-
tons. It is not believed to be ad-

than two or three OF these at q time,

GRAIN MIXTURES FOR CALVES
Wheat Bran Is Reiished by Young Ami
mails and Corn Has Excellent
Physiological Effect.

prepared by the United States Depart,
ment Of Agriculture.)
When the calf Is in its second week
1t should begin to receive grain, and
when one month old 1t should eat
about half pound day. After this
time the quantity Of grain may be
gradually increased, feeding all that
the calf wifi eat until three pounds
day is reached, probably during the
third month. Grain fed to supplement
separated milk should never be mixed
with the milk. It is questionable,
whether the preparation of grain in
any way, such as soaking or boiling, is:
advisable under most circumstances.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves. Corn has an excellent
physiological effect and to a great ex-
tent may take the place Of fat removed
from skim or separated milk. Expert
ments tend to show that corn fed to
calves should be cracked rather than
finely ground. Ground oats are good
IN grain mixtures when available, but
in many cases cost much more per unit
Of feed than corn and bran. The fol-
lowing grain mixtures are recommend
ed by dairy specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture:
I. Three parts cracked corn and one
part wheat bran.
2. Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran and one part ground
oats.
3. Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats,
and one part linseed meal.
4. Five parts cracked corn, one part
wheat bran, one part ground oats, and
one part blood meal.
3. Oats, ground.
Clover hay, alfalfa hay, or the most
palatable rOughage available should be
given the calf after the second week.
Alfalfa Is likely to cause scours. and
should be fed sparingly at first and in

In planting cowpeas with corn they

than cowpeas for dairy cows, and they
