WATERWAYS PROTECTED
 IN RAIIROAD BILL,

Washington, February n.-(Specfall- - The conferees' report on the railroad con trol bill, in accordance with forecasts or this bureau. contains sections guarantee ing the continued operation of inland waterways system. The control of such operation is vested in the Secretary ot War, which means that it's actual con trol will be delegated to the corps of en- gineers.
 Charles F. Wood, general manager or the Port of Birmingham, who has been in Washington for long while watch ing railroad legislation as it effects in land waterways, announced to the core spondent of this newspaper today his en- tire satisfaction with the proposed statute. He said:
 'On the face of things, they have given us all that we asked for, and we assed for everything essential to our continued unhandicapped operation. Perhaps there is joker somewhere, but l haven | discovered it yet. If there is not, then the railroad people were so deeply involved in their own trouble that they did not have time to operate on us. At any rate, as we understand the situation. and as the plain language of the bill indlcate, we have DO complaint to make,
 The section of the bill relating to in- land waterways follows:
 "Sec. 2el ta) On the termination of federal control, as provided in Section 209, all boats, barges, tugs and other transportation facilities, on the island, canal and coastwise waterways (here-

 TRIRUTE TO FARMER

Washington, February 21.-(Special) Since the farmer of the United States has served formal notice on Congress that he is not allied with radical organ ized labor which makes demands ac- companied by threats of destruction, he has attracted the favorable atten- ton of the entire country, and espe- cially of members of Congress.
 During the consideration of the agri- cultural appropriation bill. every mem Der of the House vied with every other member in giving the farmer his just status in society. Tn contradistinction to the attitude of the radical labor un- ionists. it was cited that he has never demanded an eight-hour day and never would-that his natural conservatism and patriotism. in this day of threat ened revolution against constituted au- thority and the law of the land. served as the guarantee of the perpetuity of this government.
 One of the finest tributes, it was agreed by his fellow members, was ex pressed by an Alabama member, Rep resentative McDuffie of the First dis trict. In his remarks the following was included;

WILL RESCIND ORDER
 ABOUT EXPORT RATES

Washington, February 21.-(Special) The railroad administration will retire from it's general order No 28, cancen- ing all export rates from the Birming lam district on steel and iron and fa- bricated articles to gulf and south At lantic ports. Announcement to this eff feet was authorized today by Max The len, director of public service. Formal pronouncement will be made Febru- ary 2S.
 When the cancellation order was is- sued, the domestic rate was re-estab- uished that rate being higher than the export rate. Many gulf and south At lantic ports registered protests, Sa vannah in this respect taking the lead. During the war. Savannah built up a great trade from the Birmingham dis trict and fearful that the cancellation order would also cancel that trade en- listed all other ports in a bitter fight.
 In his statement MT. Thelen says:
 General Order No. 28 provided that all export rates should be cancelled, but literal compliance with the pro- visions of this order would have re- suited in disturbances in port relation ships. The revised rates are somewhat lower than domestic rates and continue the relation between ports which ex- isted prior to June g, 1918.
 "As all other export commidity rates from southern points to gulf ports have been revised, we concluded that iden- tical action should be taken with re- spect to iron and steel"

 toiled from daylight until dark in order to meet the demands upon him for food.
 He has not demanded an eight-hour day,

 today worshipped by the radicals, the
 bolsheviki, the socialists and all others

 Congress for his patriotic services, for
 his untiring labor. by a stinting economy which strikes at his very existence? You will find, gentlemen, probably more con
 servatism, more genuine love of God
 Himself in the rural sections of this gov ernment than you can in the cities. The farmer is the very balance wheel of all of our government machinery.

Admiral Benson VIII See

Friends of Southern Ports Rejoice in His Appointment Chairman of Shipping Board-Waterways Protected

By HuGH vi. RoRERrs

was born in Georgia, has always lived in Georgia, and will die as resident of that state
 The members of Congress who know the admiral, and who are aware of his executive ability and his nice ideas of justice and fair play. do not entertain the idea that in his administration the south will be benefited in excess of its dues. But they know that the south will receive fair play, and that is all, they state, the south asks for.
 It is said that Admiral Benson will stand for the conservative development of all the great ports of the United States, the conservative development o fan American merchant marine worthy of the name, and the aggressive development as a result of that mer- chant marine, of foreign trade oppor- tunities.
 As a result of that policy, the south is certain to benefit, according to the opinion in Washington.

point Of destination of their movement.
In that way tuberculosis is being
%eradicated from many farms.
Biyeariy Test Advisable.
Each live stock owner should, make
a practice of having his herd of cattle
tuberculin tested by a competent vet
erinarian at least every two years. IT
he has no cattle and has a breeding
herd of swine, it is advisable to have
them tested by the intradermic meth
cd. This test, though, should be APP
piled only by a skillful veterinarian
who understands the subject thorough
ly. If tuberculosis exists in a herd
either Of cattle or of swine-the dis
eased animals should be separated
from the healthy ones; if they are
grade animals they should be slaugll-
tered; if they are purebred animals of
high individual merit, the matter of
%isolating them so that they may be re-
tanned for breeding purposes should be
given proper consideration. In any
event, the matter should be taken up
with the state live stock sanitary Off
cial. so that his advice may be OBJ
tanned with reference to the isolation
of diseased animals.
Investigations by specialists of the
bureau of animal industry demonstrate
that tuberculosis can be entirely eradi-
Gated from a herd. Breeders, there
fore, can take uD the work with conf
dence of success.
