When Army Of Engineers Have Com
pIeted Their Surveys the Plan They
Recommend Will Be included In
The Rivers and Harbors Bill

New Orlens.-Major e. J. Dent,
of the United States Army Engineers
at New Orleans is going to lose no
time in getting under way the exami-
nation and survey of the Mississippi
river with view to securing an out
let. to deep water in the Gulf of Mex
leo by the most practical route.
The survey was authorized by the
act of Congress of June s, 1920.
Major Dent sent out letters Of in
quiry to the Dock Board and others
qualified to voice an opinion on the
questions that must be answered.
The idea of the survey is to de-
velop the best route for permanent
channel 35 feet deep into the gulf. In
his letter, Major Dent tasks for opin-
ions:
1. AS to the depth of channel re-
quired to meet existing and reasona-
bly, prospective needs OF the com.
merce of this port.
2. AS to the adequacy and suitable.
ity of the channel through South Pass.
8. AS to the adequacy and suita.
bility Of a channel IS feet deep and
100 feet wide through Southwest
Pass.
4. AS to the adequacy and the prac
ticability of a channel using the In
dustrial Canal and dredging a route
through Lake Pontchartrain.
Although a channel through Lake
Pontchartrain undoubtedly would sd
to the service of the Industrial Canal
for commerce it is hardly believed
probably that the Dock Board will
urge upon the government the dredg
ing of such route at this time. In
the first place it is pointed out, such
a channel is not necessary at the
present time and the shifting sands Of
the lake, many fear, would make the
maintenance of such a deep channel
an expensive undertaking.
The Dock Boards recommendation
are expected to be for the continuance
of the work at Southwest Pass and
for the maintenance of South Pass
which now handles the bulk Of the
shipping of this port.
When the army engineers have
completed their surveys, the plan OF

The farmer who provides pasture
for his hogs whenever possible is the
one who makes the production of perks
most profitable, says the United States
department OF agriculture. in Farmers
Bulletin s51. In epitome, the advice
given in the bullentin is:
Green heritage is essentiala to the
economical production of pork.
A permanent pasture supplemented
with quick-growing, heavy-yielding,
temporary forage crops is most salts
factory.
Alfalfa is Best Crop
Alfalfa, where ii can be grown, is
undoubtedly the best forage crop for
hogs.
On an average one acre of perma-
nent, pasture should be kept for each
brood SOW.
Some of the heavy-yielding, quick
growing forage crops will add much
feed to the quantity produced by a
permanent pasture.
There should be mature crops such
as corn, soy beans, peanuts, or velvet
beans, for finishing the hogs in the
fall. Oats, rye and wheat give salts
factory winter grazing.
Green forage alone is little better
than a maintenance ration. If rapid
gains are desired, the hogs should
have liberal allowance Of grain. The
rule should be ''all the grain they will
eat without waste"
Growing forage crops and grazing
them Off one the land is an efficient
method Of improving soils depleted in
organic matter.
The erexrcise obtained in grazing
exerts a beneficial influence on the
hath of hogs.
Various Forage Crops
The variou forage crops for hogs
each discussed in detail, are corn,
sorghum, winter grains, alfalfa, black
medic and hop clover, red clover
crimson clover, soy beans, velvet
beans, cowpeas, peanuts, chufas, sweet
potatoes, mangels and rape.
Suggested cropping systems are Civ
en-, but the statement is made that
it is impossible to plan a succession OF
crops that will be satisfactory for any
large number of farms and that each
farmer must plan his own system &C
| cording to his conditions of climate
fertility, and layout Of fields. ii

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-THE Old
Ferry House and Tavern at Washing
ton Crossing, Pa, is being restored
and adapted as a central building for
park purposes.
All the properties on the Delaware
river bank east of the river road as
far as the upper end of the island, be-
hing which boats were secreted, ready
for the embarkation OF George Wash
ington's troops for the attack on Tren-
ton, have been bought by the Washing
ton Crossing Park Commission.
This covers river frontage of over
500 feet and includes the point of en-
barkation and the Old Ferry Road
leading to it. The commission also has
purchased the island and about sixty
acres to the west of River Road
which includes the ridge behind
which the Continental troops were
massed and drilled that eventful
Christmas before the battle Of Tren-
ton.
The commission has laid out gen.
eral scheme covering the territory in
which Washington's troops were guar
tered after having been driven across
New Jersey and over the Delaware
river on December 8, at Morrisville
This includes the base of supplies and
New Hope ferry, the upprmost ferry
guarded to keep the British from
crossing.

Washington and eleven Of his generals
At the graves of the soldiers who
died 1t is proposed to erect monu

eminent will be asked to build mem
orial bridge over the Delaware at the
point wher Washington made his new
er-to-be-forgotten journey across the
swollen Delewarte amid ice floes and
dangers from an unseen foe.

Democratic Nominee Asserts Repub-
Leans Are Already In Reae-
tionary Control

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 14.-Charges
that Republican senator's are trying to
"annex the presidency to their domino
ton" were made here by Governor
Cox in an address closing his first
pretentious attack upon his political
foes.
1.-THE Republican Party has passed
into reactionary control" the Demo
cratic presidential candidate declared
in his speech in a public meeting on
the Ohio river front, following an
early address to the West Virginia
Democratic Convention, in which he
also flayed the senatorial oligarchy."
81 was not nominated by a senator
ial ring nor any other kind OF ring"
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-08-21

said Governor Cox at the meeting. Il
decline to be tied to my front porch
by a senatorial ring. deny it the
right to hold me there, muzzled in the
face of a great public emergency, and,
when / am elected, l do not intend
that a senatorial ring, nor any other
kind of a ring, shall own me. l be-
lieve in the constitution OF the Uni
ted States and the preservation of
divided authority between the three
coordinate branches as our fathers
intended, each retaining its indie
pendence but not exceeding its func-
ton"
The Republican senator's purpose,
the Democratic standard-bearer de-
clared, with a fling at what he termed
the plural government" proposed by
Senator Harding, is 'to make execut
ed administration not the affair of the
responsible president himself, but Of
the ring that surrounding him."
Charging the Republican Party
with being under reactionary control
Governor Cox said that Colonel Roose
velt's fight TO rits reform was only
temporary in effect.
Domination by political figures
once violently repudiated by the
American electorate, is unblushing
and undenied," Governor Cox de
clared. ''The men who control the
United States Senate are determined
to annex the presidency to their de
nomination, and in what they believe

URGES BETTER Law
FOR UNWED MOTHERS

st. Louis, Oct. ia plea for state
support with more Capitalization OF
agencies dealing with the problems of
the unmarried mother was made by
DIR. Foster S. Kellogg, of Boston. at
the eleventh annual meeting of the
American Child Hygiene Association.
which began it's sessions here today.
1.-THE problem of illegitimacy is a
much larger one than most people
think" DIR. Kellogg said. Its ramifi-
cations extend far more widely into
our social fabric. both in rural and
city communities, than the uninitiated
imagine. 1t demands state support for
it's proper settlement. also state legis-
private agencies.
1T should be the duty of the state
to see that both the charitable and
economic sides of the problem are
handled with as little individual suf-
fering as possible.
There is great need for improved
organization, not only among social
workers and philanthropists but among
institutions. The proper solution de-
sociological skill. as well as the nec-
essary financial support. but it is on
ly by this means that the state and
public can fulfill it's duty to the I'M
married mother"
DR.. Bigler also discussed the prob
lens of the expectant mother in rural
communities. advocating better medical
facilities for those in remote sections.
