TO CUT EXPENSES,
But Moore Remains Silent On
Appointments.

Boise, ldaho.-C. c. Moore, gov
ernOr-elect, has gone to eastern
Idaho to close up his remaining
business before coming to the
state capital the first of the
year to take up his duties as
governor.
Since early in December Mr..
Moore has been acting governor
of the state in the absence Of D.
w. Davis, governor, who wasat-
tending the governors confer
ence in White Sulphur Springs
w. Va.
In the time he has been here
the goyernor-elect has tried to
max a study of the needs of the
present administration and to
see where he could economizc
and consolidate. Not once since
he has been here has he even
limited who his appointees will be
and has said that it would be
probably during or at the end
of the legislature before he
makes any announcement about
appointments.
j. G. Fralick, state commits
sioner of finance, announced
that he had handed his resigna
ton to G. G. Moore, governor
elect, sometime ago. Mr.. Fra
lick adds that he is not candi-
date for reappointment and that
he is informed that Frank w.
Brown, secretary to Governor
Davis, and Dean Driscoll, first
assistant attorney. general, are
not candidates for reappoint-
ment.
Republican party leaders de-
clare that there must be a gen.
eral cleaning out at the state
house. They say the platform
pledges them to such a policy.
However, every employee in the
state house worked tooth and
nail for Moore and had some
thing to do with bringing about
his election. They claim that
they are entitled to hold their
positions under the incoming
governor and will insist on so
doing. Predictions are being
made freely that there will be
no material changes.
Governor Davis arrived home

WANTS CONFERENCE
Senator Borah Sees Danger In
EurOpe's Plight.

among WOrlu pOWCiS NCiC uiS
cussed in the senate for several
hours last Friday, but without
action and virtual adjourn
ment was taken over Christmas.
The calling of an international
conference ito curtail cOnstruc-
ton of naval vessels of less than
10000 tons and aircraft not cov-
cred by the Washington arma-
ment conference agreement was
urged by Senator Borah, Repub-
lican, Idaho. He deferred dis
cussion, however, of his amend
ment to the naval appropriation
bill requesting the president to
call an international conference
to deal with economic problems
and with land and sea arma-
ments.
Senator IBorah gave detailed
statistics of the increased debt
and taxes of the average Ameri-
can, for federal and state pur-
poses and declared the American
people were insisting upon relief
which might be obtained through
disarmament.
Calling attention to the Amer
ican tax load, Senator Borah
said the other nations were in
finitely worse off and that the
world debt was $250,000, 600, 900.
On Dec. 81, Senator Borab
~said: eve had IA disarmament
conference year ago. We now
are advised by a committee re-
port of the other house that UP,
less these agreements heretofore
made are extended, competition
in naval armaments will be on
again in the direction to which
the Washington conference
agreements do not extend. The
committee further says that If
it be allowed TO go on unchecked
this government must be com
strained to launch a new pro
gram to keep abreast OF other
powers. There could not be any
thing more destructive of all
hope of recovery in economic al
fairs than reopening of a com
petitive race in armaments.
Senator Hiram Johnson OF
California on Saturday opposed
the plan, saying: "If we bring
the nations of the earth here tc
Washington to such conference
we will dump into Americas laI
the economic ills of Europe ano
the reparations muddle. If OF
ficially we sit down with the
other nations who meet at oul
invitation, and reach an under
standing and agreement, we are
in honor bound to carry out ane
execute that agreement, and th'
very instant we undertake tC
carry out an agreement to en-
force reparation that instant W.
abandon the traditional policy O
America. We become a part o
the European scheme OF things
and we enter upon that cours'
from which we have so recent,
escaped and which our people s.
overwhelmingly repudiated.
Last Sunday night Senate
Borah, in formal statemen
argued further in favor of a cor
ference declaring the Unite
States had participated offic
ely in such conferen ces and wit
European nations more tha
once, and had never hesitated t
confer with reference to econ'
lilc, financial and commerce.
matters.
Discussing Europe's war det

stated: I haven't any fea

PASTURES ARE PARCHED
ANNUALLY IN KENTUCKY,

Lexington, KY, Kentucky has a
drouth practically every year, accord
ing TO livestock men at the College of
Agriculture here. In some seasons, the
lack of rainfall is felt for a few weeks
only while in other years, it continues
for months. In practically all cases,
the lack or rain during the summer is
sufficient to parch pastures in the
state, the most serious damage usual
ly coming in August, it is said. Dairy
men suffer most heavily from the dry
seasons, the parched pastures result
ing in decreased milk and butterfat
production. the livestock men say.
BY means of number of expert
ments which have been conducted, the
college has found that Sudan grass
makes a good crop to furnish green
feed for dairy COWS during the sum-
mer drouths. according to ]. ]. Hoop
er, head of the dairy department. Six
acres of it will be seeded this spring,
he said. From % to 80 pounds of seed
an acre will be broadcased in May or
early June, the chief requirement be-
ling we'll prepared seed ben Of warm
soil. The seed also may be drilled.
On the college farm. Sudan grass
seeded in May has yielded as much as
five tone of green feed an acre in early
August while second cutting is pos
sible about the middle of September.
The grass is cut with mower and
hauled to the COWS, each animal re-
ceiving about 50 pounds of green grass
daily.
Gren corn also can be used for COW
feed during the drouth seasons but
heavier yield of green feed will be Sc
cured at less cost and labor from the
