Senator Vardaman of Mississippi
says the whole country is crying for
farm labor. 81 receive from one to
fifty letters from my constituents in
Mississippi every day, urging me to
use what little influence l may have
with the war department to get the
boys out of the army, in order that
they may come back and help to make
a crop the present year. And If The
boys are not permitted to go home
pretty soon they will not be able to
make a crop during the year 1919. l
think is an outrage and an injustice
to the soldiers and a misfortune to the
country that the farmers boys are not
discharged and sent back to their
homes"

GOOD SORGHUM SEED
GREATLY IN DEMAND
Some Extra Money Can Be Real

important to Keep Varieties to Be
Used for Sirup Production From
Mixing With Others-Use Care
In Storing Seed Heads.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Good, pure, viable seed of sorgo
or sweet sorghum has been greatly
in demand the last two years and a
little extra money can be realized by
farmers in the sorghum belt if they
will save the seed from their fodder
I'D sirup sorghum varieties, espe-
lily if they have pure strains of
standard varieties as black am
/, red amber, orange, sumac, honey,
nd gOOseneck.
In addition to the demand for seed
of these varieties for fodder and strip
production there is a limited demand
by strip producers for the seed of
such varieties as Colman, Red X, Col
lier, and Mclean. The average farm
err however, who is growing the sOr-
COS primarily for forage purposes had
best confine himself to some one of
the f1rst-named varieties.
The importance of keeping the va
rieties to be used for sirup produc-
I1OI ltOLH Will OlhCI NdllClACo
Is strongly emphasized. The sweet
varieties from which seed for future
planting is to be gathered should not
be grown near any other strip or fOd-
der variety. Even then the seed
heads should be carefully selected
with a view to trueness of type or
Nriety.
With fodder varieties one can go
into a field of shocked fodder and
gather the seed in paying quantities
by cutting with knife the heads from
the bundles or from the individual
stalks. if the fodder has not been
bound. The heads can be thrown in
piles at the base of the shock, after
the practice followed in husking corn
from the shock, but this entails con-
siderable waste and 1t is better to
take "a team and wagon into the field
and throw the heads directly into the
wagon box. If the field has been prop
erly rOgued and has ripened uniformly
it is more economical for two men
to work together and by means of a
CnOpp1ng DlOcK attached TO the wagon
box separate the heads from an en-
tire bundle at one stroke.
The gathered heads should not be
stacked in the field, but hauled into
the farmyard and piled in long, mar
row ricks in an open shed. Care must
be used in storing the heads. Unless
they are thoroughly dry when gath

be examined at least every two weeks,
and if any signs of heat develop they
should be turned with forks to fore
stall all damage. Where an open
shed is not available for the prOtec-
ton of the ricked heads they may be
piled In the open and coverd with q

until they can be thrashed.

"What is the remedy?" was a query
put to the senate generally but more
particularly to Senator Thomas of
Colorado by Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
He was speaking of the lack of en-
ployment in this country which was
causing so much apprehension, and
continued: eff there is not some rem
edy in carrying on public works, what
is the remedy? The remedy is not to
make speeches about it,"
"Oh," remarked Thomas, making
speeches is a remedy for nothing, es-
pecially in the senate of the United
States"
''That is the only way we remedy
anything here so far as 1 know" con-
tinued Kenyon.
Unfortunately" Thomas replied,
"that is the only way in which we
transact business here. The other
house votes and does not talk. We
talk and never vote, and of course /
am just as guilty as anybody else"

LONG DEBATE DUE
OVER ARMY BILL
MANY SENATORS TO TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK OF
MILITARY CONDITIONS.
MEASURE MAY BE DEFEATED
Minority Leader Mann Has Joyous
Time With Larsen of Georgia Who
Seeks to Put Curb on Discus
sion.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

the debate on the army appropriation
bill is going to be long drawn out.
The whole army condition is going to
be threshed out thoroughly, particu-
larly in the senate. 1t is somewhat of
a surprise to those who want to avoid
an extra session that the army bill has
been delayed so long, for the talk upon
it may defeat it and if it is defeated
an extra session will be necessary in
order to get money to support the
army. It is evident that many sena-
tors are waiting for a fitting Oppor-
tunity to say what they think about
army conditions and they will take an
opportunity to do so when the regular
military appropriation bill is before
the senate. On several occasions the
mill tary bill has been the last to be
considered and once or twice it has
failed to pass before congress adj
journed.
Minority Leader Mann was in his
element the other day. A compare
lively new man. Larsen of Georgia, de-
cided that there was too much talk go
ing on in the house, and announced his
idea of stopping it by objections.
Chairman Padgett of the naval COM
mittee, who was plotting the naval APP
preparation bill through the house, ur-
gently requested Larsen to desist, say
ing that long experience has taught
him that nothing could be gained in
that way. But Larsen persisted and
the first person he ran afoul of was
Jim Mann. II hope the gentleman
from" and Mann paused for little
time before adding Il do not know
from what state he comes" and then
he paused again until some member
could interject Georgia" and then
added: Il hope the gentleman from
Georgia will keep his nerve, but he
will not"
Then Mann went on to talk for some
time and finally made the usual mo-
ton ''to strike out the last word"
which allows member to speak for
five minutes. Larsen immediate OBJ
jected and raised the point of order
that Mann was not speaking on the
motion to strike out the last word.
Mann blandly remarked that the point
of order was well taken and then
moved to strike out the entire para
graph which he wanted to discuss, and
in his most sarcastic way, turning to
Larsen remarked 'HThiS is like talk
ing candy from children"
AS Mann predicted, Larsen did not
keep his nerve, for he soon found out
that the course he was pursuing would
tend to defeat rather than to rush leg
islation.

The drift toward Capitalization in the
federal government and toward pa
ternalism generally continues, in spite
of the protests of a very few who
would still cling to the old ideas
of what the government was in
the early days. There have been
several speeches made on this subject.
and solemn warnings have been issued,
but it is observed that there is not
much use in trying to stop the people
from coming to the government for ev-
erything possible. The idea seems to
have grown into large proportions
that the government can do almost
anything for the people, and that it is
the duty of the government to support
the people rather than that of the peo-
pie to support the government.
A great many people may be aroused
when the new revenue law goes into
effect and it is found that few will es-
cape taxation. Every married man

be compelled to pay an income tax
This will bring home to at least 20.
