ed upon in all seasons. Bulletin 69o,
"Grain Sorghum Experiments In the
Panhandle of Texas" just published
by the department., presents h re-
suits obtained in the nine-year period
from 1908 to 1916. inclusive. Earli-
ness Is the most important single fac
tor, according to the bulletin, in the
varietal adaptation of grain-sorghums
to the conditions obtaining in the high
plains of that section. Dwarfness is
the next most important factor, while
the combination of the two is extrem :
ly efficient in seasons of drought
Dwarf milo, Dawn (dwarf) kafir and
Sunrise (early) kaffr have proved well
adapted varieties, the first and second
named being especially well suited on
the high, dry plains.

Washington, D. C.-Control Of tn
principal stockyards Of tho United
States by the Big Five meat packer
10 to be ended this winter, ACCORDING
to the best judgment Of Senator
Borah. who has charge Of tho anti
packer fight In Congress.
Borah has had a series Of confer
suces with Herbert Hoover. The,
have gone over the whole problem O
naturalization of the steekyards and
facilities. These facilities include thu
market Information servioe which thu
packers have used to glut the markS
and force down prices to the stock
men. They include stockyard terminal
railways, stock carr and refrigeratos
oars. Hoover has never before CON
coded that anything should be don't
to break UP tho vast business monop
oily Of the packers. He has now made
. report to President Wilson.
Senator Borah started out to &c,
Congress to support the program Of
the Federal Trade Commission, which
proposed the naturalization Of the
stockyards, stock cars and refrigerator
car lines, and also the naturalization
Of the branch houses and cold stor
age warehouses in the Distributing
centers. As spokesman for the al.
most unanimous sentiment OF the or
san1zed farmers and OF organized Ia,
Dor on this issue, he felt It his duty
to cooperate insofar az possible with
the president and the food administra
tor, 30 that the packers could not
fairly claim that anything had beer
done that would disturb the efficient
and continuous supply Of meats and
meat products to the armies and tt
the navfes of the allies during the war
With the full sympathy Of such mel
az Senators Kenyon, Gore, Norris
Nugent and Kendrick, who have take,
u part In this battle for the peopl
against the most heartless combins
ton Of predatory business In the ns
don, Borah delayed the introductio,
OF his bill which would carry out tn
recommendation of tho Federa
Trade Commission until the return q
Hoover from abroad. He went int
conference with Hoover first on tn
stockyards question. Then they dill
'cussed the need of public control q
the observation-disclosures system. The
talked over the stock car lines an
the refrigerator a lines. And the
talked over the branch house question
Senator Borah does not know whs
the President will do. He 10 not 8
liberty to quote either Hoover q th

WATERING COWS IN WINTER
Water Should Be Twenty Deesees
Above iEreezino Poant-Animalb
Need Ample Amount.

PrepareA fbynthe United States Depart-
meht Of Agricnlture.)
All animals require plenty of good,
pure water. This is especially true eof
the milking cow, as water constitutes
more than ,three-fourths of the total
volume Of milk. The water supply,
therefore, demands the dairymanss
most careful attention. Stale or im-
pure water is distasteful to the COW
and she will not drink enough for max
imum milk production. Snch water
may also carry disease germs which
might make the :mBk Unsafe for hui
man consumption or be dangerous to
the COW herself. During the winter,
when cows r stabbed the greater part
of the time, they should be watered
two or three times a day unless ar
engagements have been made to keep
water before them at all times. The
water should, If possible, be is or 20
degrees above the freezing point, and
shoald be supplied at practically the
same temperature every day. When
water well above freezing temperature
is stored in tanks and piped directly
to the cow, there is probably little oc-
casion Cor facilities to warm it. When
It stands in a tank on which fee often
forms, It usually pays well to warm 1t
slightly. This a be done by a tank
heater, By live steam, or by hot water
from q boiler. If a boiler is used for
running a separator or for heating
water to wash and sterilize utensils.
steam from It can readily and cheaply
be used to warm the water.

Minnesota Supreme Court Hears
Arguments for New Trials.
Only One Case Rename for Disposl
tIon-convineIne Arguments IN
elude Statement That Charges
Were Not Founded Upon .
Sound Basis.

St. Paul, Minn.-Disposition Of the
last Of the trumped-up charges of dis
loyalty, made against officers and at
taches Of the National Nonpartisan
League during the recent political
campaigns, IL expected shortly. when
the case Of N. s. Randall comes to
trial. The cases have attracted some
attention, since they were used a. 4
part Of the basis for a campaign
against tho League. In fact, the
charges that were made and the re-
port of the speech by Senator r. N.
LaFollette, which has been proved
erroneous by the United States senate
and the Associated Press, formed the
only two foundations upon which the
disloyalty accusations were made
The charge against A. G. Townley,
president Of the Nonpartisan League,
has been thrown out of court and the
resolutions of the League, upon which
some Of tho charges OF d~isloyalty are
based, were found to be without q faint
of ~disloyalty. The 8 against Ser
geant Louis W. Martin, U.S.A. form
erly an organizer for the League, and
Joseph Gilbert, formerly manager Of
organization work for the League,
were recently before the state su-
preme court. The men, convicted Of
disloyalty, at Red Wing, Mimi, sought
q new trial by order of the state su-
preme court.
Attorneys for the convicted men
argued that Gilbert had merely orally
expressed the sentiments expressed in
the League resolutions, which were
found by the supreme court to con.
tain no disloyalty. He referred to the
similarity Of the testimony Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution, and held
that the supreme court should con
slider this, as have other courts, an
untrue to human experience" and
that 1t should be rejected"
Referring to the charges against
Martin, the attorney recalled that Mar.
tin had said nothing to interfere with
enlistments but that no had said
something to a barber about shaving
q "pro-German." This, he said, wal
In a Joking manner and he recalled
the abatement OF the Virginian, who
saidi when you say that, smile"
Martin smiled when he called himself
proAGerman.

Since the production Of fall COLI
