American Federation Now

dates for Congress.

Washington. Aug. 3o.-Heads of the
American Federation of Labor who
have gone on record as favoring cleo
ton of Governor Cox, today planned
a campaign, the object of which is to
line up the labor vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate.
The American Federation of Labor
nonpartisan campaign committee has
issued a report which purports to pre-
pare the records of the two leading
candidates from the standpoint of
labor
Governor Cox" said the report.
has shown himself possessed of q
fuller understanding of the needs of
the working people, a reader response
to their needs, and their proposals,
and a broader craftsmanship in his
public discussions of the problems
of the industrial world"
The comparison of records issued
today is only one of hundreds which
labor has sent out. An attempt has
been made to get into hands Of work
candidates who have voted against
measures favorable to labor.
Labor leaders here claim their cam
paign is already showing results. They
say their opposition was responsible
for small primary ma joritieS received
by Senator Cummins in Iowa and I'm
derwood in Alabama, and that they
have defeated for denomination less
prominent congressman.
Politicians here declare the cam
paign is not showing results expected.
They point TO the defeat in the Ohio
primaries of Representative Emerson
by former Senator Burton as evidence.

Ing epidemic diseases, which were
obviously associated with persons and
their migrations. What the early stu
dents made out by tracing the ep!-
demic backward to its point of depar-

firmed by carefully kept records. often
graphically compiled, as in the excel
lent instance Of the Munich records
covering the epidemic of 1SS9-92, which
can now be supplemented by number
of similarly constructed records of the
epidemic just passed. These detailed
records show convincingly a period of
invasion during which there is a grad

eliminate. within a period variously
estimated at from one to three weeks,

DRY CORN FODDER AS SlLAGE
1t Is Not as Good as That From
Green Corn.

In reply to numerous inquiries on
the feeding value of dry corn fodder
in comparison with the fodder used as
silage, III. III. Kildee, head of the Ami
NAL Husbandry Department of Iowa
State college, says that the fodder put
into the silO makes better feed than
the dry fodder.
Many of the farmers have followed
the practice of filling their silos with
dry fodder after the silo has been
emptied or nearly so. In almost every
case the fodder will need the addition
of considerable water to make good
silage. The water may be put in the
fan-box of the ensilage cutter. Many
farmers, however, pump the water di-
rectly into the silo.
Silage made In this manner is not SO
good as that made from green corn.
Cattle like it and do we'll on it. 1t
is reported that last year farmers
filed their silos as many as three
times with dry fodder. The fodder was
cut at the same time ms the corn for
ordinary silage and was left stand
ing in the field until needed.

Ten years ago the average milk COW
was worth $500 compared with
$3.50 a year ago and $S5.13 January
/, 1920. 1t is generally recognized
that the quality of the milk cows Of
this country is improving at the same
time that their number is increasing.
The class of cattle, consisting of
calves. steers, bulls and cows, not kept
for milk production and designated
as "other cattle" shows a decrease of
100000 head, or 16 per cent. Ten
years ago the average value per head
of animals in this class was S19.07, II
year ago it was $44.22, and $43.14 this
year. The number of 'other cattle
in the country at the present time is
approximately 44,3S5,000, and their
value 81, 4,575,O00.
