AUTONOMY REQUEST PRESENTED
TO PRESIDENT BY MANUEL
|. oUEZoN.
PROMISES REPLY THIS WEEK
Delegation From Philippines Calls At
tention to recommendation Of
Woodrow Wilson After In Z
vestigation As To Gov n
f ernment's Stability.

Washington.-Pre Harding re-
ceived the plea of the Philippine Par
lament Mission for grant of fnde-
pendence to the Filipino people and
promised a reply setting forth the
views Of the executive.
Responding briefly to the presenta-
tion, Mr.. Harding said it would be un-
fair to him and unjust to the Filipino
people to make reply without duly
and carefully considering the plea. Ul-
innate consideration of the matter of
autonomy rested with congress, he
said, adding that, however, need not
deter him from outlining the views of
the executive. This, he said, he would
do il the mission would call again at
the White House during the week.
The president received the 29. mem
bers of the mission cordially and lis
tended attentively and interestedly to
the presentation of the plea by Man
uel l.. Quezon, head Of the mission and
president of the Philippine Senate.
The members of the mission were
presented by Secretary Of War Weeks
and Maj. Gen. Frank Mcintyre, chief of
the bureau OF insular affairs. After
hearing the plea the president posed
with the mission for a group picture.
Establishment by the Filipinos of a
stable government in the Philippines
has fulfilled the only stipulation laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the granting OF independ snoe
to the islands. Presidpnt Harding was
told in formal statement.
The statement read to Mr. Harding
by Manuel L. Quezon, president of the
Philippine senate, and az other mem
bers of the mission, reviewed. the sit
uation Of the Filipinos and reiterated
their aspiration for national exist
ence.' 1t quoted former President
Wilson as calling the attention Of con.
gress, in a message in December. 1920,
to establishment OF successful gov.
ernment in the Philippines and remind,
ing congress of the obligation to grant
independence to the Filipinos. ..,tf
The recommendation of former Pres.
ident Wilson, the statement continued
was made after the governorgeneral
OF the Philippines had officially certi
fled to congress and the president that
a stable government had been esta51
slished in the islands. s,48 ss.s
| ut is fact, therefore" the state
ment continued, that Immediately pri.
or to the coming into power Of the
present administration, the Philippine
question was on the eve of solution
1--WE beg to submit that the fifteen
months that have elapsed since the
new administration assumed office
have not altered the situation. The
same stable government exists"

TESTING INCREASES INCOME
California Association 10 One Of Old.
est to Continue In Successful
Operation.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The Ferndale Contrasting associa-
ton in Humboldt county, California, Is
the largest contrasting association In
the United States. In the organiza-
ton 100 members, owning from to
$50 cows, finished the work last year,
and the association tested 4,546 cows,
according to a report compiled by the
western Office of the dairy division,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Not only is this the largest cow-test-
ing association, but It Is one Of the
Oldest to continue in successful opera
ton. It was started II years ago, and
now has a successful breeder as its
secretary and manager.
The history of this association gives
ample evidence of the value Of cow
testing associations in developing the
dairy industry. The report shows that
4,O14 cows finished the years work
with an average lactation period Of
nine and one-half months and with an
average butterfat production of 334O3
pounds per COW. There are but few
associations, dairy specialists Of the
department say, that equal this aver
age production, and none that can ap-
proach it in number of cows and
height Of production.
Seventeen herds in the association
averaged from 400 to 1876 pounds Of
butterfat per cow; 10 averaged from
$50 to 400 pounds; 38 averaged from
300 to $50 pounds; % averaged from
250 to 800 pounds, and 6 averaged
from 213 to $50 pounds. 1t is inter-
esting to note that the six low herds
had been on test for the first time and
the owners had not had a chance to
Gull out and breed up their stock.
The high cow of the association pro-
duced 728.05 pounds of fat; IL cows In
the association produced over 600
pounds Of fat SO over 500 pounds; 628

WARNING AGAINST

MadisOn.-The state veterinarian OF
the Wisconsin Department of Agricul-
ture issues a warning to the people OF
the state concerning the widespread
infection of foot and mouth disease in
Great Britain. According to last re-
ports from the u. S. Bureau Of Ami
NAL Industry there were 900 herds
slaughtered in Great Britain between
January 1st and March 9Th, totaling
43,735 head of cattle. The United
States has thus far been fortunate in
escaping this plague. There is great
danger that the virus may be brought
over in clothing of immigrants, or on
hay or straw used for the packing of
crockery and other matter from for
eign ports. All material for packing
received from foreign parts should be
promptly destroyed by burning.
The greatest danger, no doubt, is
from foreign immigrant labor, and
any one employing such labor should
observe due care that all clothing is
duly fumigated before any such per-
son is allowed to mingle with any
cloven hoofed animal. Any sus-
picious cases, no matter in what part
of the state. that is observed exhibit
ing a sore mouth, should be examined
promptly by a veterinarian and all
such cases should be isolated until 1T
has been fully determined that the
disease is not present. Besides Eng
land, large area of the mainland OF
Europe is also infected with foot and
mouth disease and the same precau-
lions should be observed in their con-
nection. The last outbreak of foot
and mouth disease appeared in the
southern part of Michigan in 1914.
No satisfactory explanation has been
arrived at as to how that infection
was brought there. This resulted in
a loss of considerable live stock, but.
no doubt, resulted in greater loss due
to the inconvenience occasioned the
shipper. 1t was promptly stamped
out in 1915 and no cases have been
found in the United States since. ID
an outbreak does occur at this time
we hope that it will be discovered
early and that it may be stamped ou'
before it has chance to spread,

over 400 pounds, and 1,541 over 300
pounds. The majority Of the cows in
the association are grade, and their
large production Is directly traceable
to the high-class purebred sires that
have been used by the members of the
association and to the raising of heif-
ers from the good cows found by the
testing association work,
IN 1909, 581 cows in this association
finished the years work with an aver
age production Of 251 pounds of fat.
Last year, the report shows, the aver
age Of 4,014 cows was 334 pounds, a
difference of three pounds of fat per
COW. Based on the number Of cows
finishing last years work, this differ
ence meant total of 333, 1852 pounds
Of fat, which, at the price of 20 cents
per pound, the average paid Humboldt
county dairymen In 1920. amounts to
$233, 1918.

be around 100000 at the end of the
school year, including a deficit of be-
tween $4,000 and $1,30000 at the
beginning of the present school year.
Since the call was issued for the
meeting some tuition money has been
collected, and more is expected soon,
and it is also expected that the state
and county aid money will soon be
paid over, so, in all probability, there
will be no need to borrow soon, or at
least to borrow much, until the latter
end of the term, and then only enough
to take care of the deficit.
