HOUSE LEADERS
PLANNING FAST
TREATY ACTION
Resolution Being Whipped Into
Final Shape for Presenta-
ton Today.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, March Is. - Quick
action on a resolution declaring a
state of peace was planned at COLI
ference of house leaders today.
A resolution was being whipped
into final shape to be introduced to-
morrow or Saturday by Representa-
tive Porter of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the house committee on for.
eign affairs. Some of the legal
points remain to be ironed out, but
these are expected to be disposed
OF satisfactorily by tomorrow.
The program of the house republi-
can leaders is to have the committee
on foreign affairs take prompt action
and to rush the resolution through
the house under a special rule. 1t
is probable that the house will take
action by the early part of next
week.
The theory under which it is
planned to have the house initiate
action is that less delay would be
occasioned.
Senate republican leaders are
agreeable to the program.
The resolution, as it has been
drafted with the kpox, Tinkham and
other resolutions as a basis, pro-
vides three things. 1t repeals the
declaration of war and declares a
state of peace. 1t seeks to preserve
the rights of the United States
which would have accrued under the
terms of the peace treaty, and pro-
vides for repeal of war legislation,
but continues certain measures in
effect such as the law conferring
power upon the alien property Gus

SHcnSO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS nee ISchseu W Wlre.
Washington, March 25.-What is
interpreted as deliberate move on
the part of anxious democrats to
smoke out" President Wilson on
the question of becoming a candi-
date himself was made in the house
OF representatives today.
To the accompaniment of much
applause on the democratic as we'll
as the republican side, Representa-
tive Humphreys of Mississippi, DEM
ocrat, deplored the silence of Mr..
Wilson on the matter and the activi-
ties of the friends of the president
in behalf of a denomination and in
voked renewed devotion to the anti.
third term tradition.
Il am a democrat and as such |
have supported the Wilson admins
tration during the past seven years
as loyalty as any man in this house, y
said Representative Humphreys. Il
believe that the accomplishments of
President Wilson's administration
under his great leadership will Sc
cure for him place high IN the roll
of our great presidents.
Regrets His Silence.
81 regret, therefore, all the more
that he has remained silent as to his
intentions III the matter of the third
term and that he has permitted so
many of his friends, including men,
bers of his own cabinet, to advocate
publicly his reelection to third
term, and by remaining silent al
lowed the country to believe that he
was willing to break the ancient
precedent"
"a message from the president"
announced the doorkeeper of the
house at this juncture.
Announcement for third term, :"
chortled a republican amid general
laughter.
Il know we are told" resumed
Mr.. Humphreys, "that the old order
changeth and that this old turbulent
earth has had a new birth of free
dom and that out of the travail and
misery of it all, a new angel has
come to bless mankind; but | also
know that there was never liberty
in this world until it was adjusted to
the orderly process of our constitu-

planned and established the more

Soil erosion. or the washing away Of
earth by water, costs the farmers Of
the United States S1,000,0OO every
year. Soil losses from this cause occur
in every state Of the Union and In al
most every county Of every state. A
few years ago the National Conserya-
ton congress reported that 4,0000OO
acres Of farm land had been practically
ruined by soil erosion. So serious Is
the condition that DIR. N. s. Shaler,
formerly dean Of the Lawrence Scien-
tific school. was once moved 10 remark
that IF mankind cannot devise and en-
force ways OF dealing with the earth
which will preserve this source Of life,
we must look forward to the time

ible-when our kind, having wasted
its greatest inheritance, win fade from
the earth because of the ruin 1t has ac-
complished."
How Erosion Harms.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in number Of ways. The
upper and most fertile parts Of the soil
are washed away until the land be-
comes barren and unproductive. Deep
gullles are formed which result in an
actual loss of land for cultivation, a
lowering OF the water table and a de-
ficient supply Of moisture. Drainage
bitches are often filled up with sand,
which frequently results in the flooding
of the adjoining bottom land and the
destruction of crops. Rich bottom
lands are often covered with deposits
OF sand washed from the hill lands
Hence the direct losses Of the upland
farmer are the land occupied by gull
lies, smaller crop yields each year, and
continued decrease in the value OF
the land. Some OF the losses OF the
bottom farmer are the land covered to
a great depth with sand crops dam
aged by overflows or deposits of sand,
continued decrease in the value OF
the land, and the money invested In
the construction of drainage bitches
that have been filed or partly Allied
with sand. Thus It Is apparent tina
both the bottom and the upland farme
should be concerned In the adoption
OF effective measures for stopping ero
sion.
Causes and Forms Of Erosion.
Erosion is caused chiefly by che di
rect action of heavy rains beating upon
the ground, by the rapid movement OF

The causes OF lnferiority among live

3 Failure TO use good blood.
3. Indlscriminate mixing Of different

4. Lack Of good care and manage

States department OF agriculture fully
recognizes the obstacles TO be met ana

animal. The purebrcd, particularly
the better-hrcd, animal Is rapidly find-

the less desirable kind were growing.
Those who previously were growing

In order to drink up surface water

Some soils are naturally very perme'
able. A number OF ways Of increasing

age and, IN certain soils, the use OF
explosives.
Vegetation covering the surface OF
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action Of the rain and checks
the flow OF the water over the surface
giving the soil better opportunity to
absorb the water. II is therefore Inn
portant that some kind Of cover crop
such as vetch, clover, oats, wheat OF
rye, be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land Is
not used for other crops.
Contour plowing, which consists OF
breaking the ground along level lines
across the slopes, reduces the flow OF
water directly down the slope. Also
in planting and cultiyating the crops
the same level lines are followed so
that shallow trough is made above
each row. Most OF the rain water Is
caught and held in this trough until II
either evaporates or is absorbed by
the soil. Contour plowing should In
variably be practiced in all hill lands

fact that hundreds OF pigs purchased

local producers. Immediate assistance
was given the New Hampshire farm
ers IN purchasing direct Of local swine

pigs were offered In one section they
were marketed to advantage In other
sections where there was demand for

Economic Waste May Result
Not only does the practice Of ignOr-

money to all concerned. but It may
result in general economic waste as
