HOWAT MEN SPLIT |
ANTHRACITE RANKS.
Lewis Strength Is Seriously
Threatened by Secessions,
in Hard-Coal Fields
DELEGATES CHANGE FRONT

Special Dispatch TO Evening Public Ledger
Indianapolis Feb. 18.--Administra.
tion strength in the anthracite fields has
been seriously threatened by Rinaldo
Cappillini, and Alex Campbell, both of
the Pittston section, who have Joined
the insurgent forces Of Alexander
Howat, the Kansas insurgcnt. for the
purpose Of ovcrthrowing John l.. Lewis,
international president.
The three anthracite presidents and
their understudies had counted on a
virtually unanimous vote in support Of
Lewis and his policies in the intcrna-
tional convention. Then Cappillini and
Campbell arrived. formed coalition
with Howat and Harrington and started
In to bust 'em up in the anthracite
field. Their work was secretly done
for time and it was being quite cffec-
lively. carried on when the district lead
ers discovered what was going on.
Open Fight Developing
There is now developing an open fight
between the insurgent and administra-
ton forres of the anthracite field. The
best work OF the insurgents Is being None
among district No. 1 delegates. 1t Is
admitted BY the administration that the
entire vote of the delegates in the Pitts
ton area will be cast for Howat. If
there are 800 votes cast from district
n. 1: Cappillini and Campbell will con-
troll at least 100 Of them and these will
be turned over to Howat.
failed to make any inroads on the or.
ganization forces led by Thomas Ken
nedy. The Hazleton president will be
able to cast the vote Of his district al
most as a unit in support of the inter.
national chief.
In district No. 0 the insurgent Gle.
ment has put in some heavy work. The
result Of it is that there will be small
vote cast in support Of Howat.
Delegates Change Front
The administration forces call attcn-
tion TO the fact that Mt the Shamokin
convention. when the Scale Committee
reported. and when the question of ad-
vention voted to q man in support of
John l.. Lewis. Virtually the same
delegation that transacted business at
Shamokin for the anthracite miners is
here at the national convention. Some
of the same delegates who put the stamp
of approval on Lewis at Shamkin arc
fighting his policies here and have exc
cuted an about face. This is due. the
leaders say. to the missionary efforts
of Cappillini and Campbell.
The convention today marked time.
The roll call of delegates on the Howat
case was delayed awaiting final decision
as to who was entitled to vote, and
after considering a half score of con-
tests the convention adjourned until to-
morrow.

LESPEDEZA AS A SUBSTITUTE
FOR A COTTON CROP

. Lespcdeza, one of the South's great
est legumes, is the title Of an inter
esting article prepared for the Lespc-
deza Seed Growers Cooperative AS
sociation, Inc, by Dr.. r. e. Lewis,
Bains, Louisiana, Il prominent farm
er who is specializing in the growing
of this profitable crop.
While the name, Lespedcza, was
supposed to have been given this
plant by botanists in 1900; it was not
until 1880 that it received the attcn-
ton it's merits warranted, as a COM
mercial farm product, under the de-
vclopment of Col. j. B. McGhcc, of
Laurel Hill, Louisiana, who rccogniz-
cd its value as q feed for farm ami
mails and as soil builder, and who
sang its praises for years. It's place
in southern agriculture is due largely
to Col. McGhcc, says Dr.. Lewis.
Lcspcdcza is an annual, maturing
its seed in the fall, which shattcr
readily and rcscc' the ground for
the coming year. .ormally, these
seeds which shattcr off at maturing
time remain dorms It until the warm
tn and moisture germinate them. 1t
is the practice to plant from Fcbru-
alS Is to May 1.
The stems and branches of the Les
pcdcza plant are slender and the
leaves small but very numerous. a
good crop will grow to the height of
Is to l8 inches, and on fertile soils
80 inches is not unknown. It is esti-
mated that Il good stand Of I.cspcdc-
"a will represent ton of hay fo,

This plant will grow on almost
any of the types of soil in the cotton

no plant is more suitable to follow

back to it's former state of fertility
The custom of seeding Lespcdcza
with oats has become moro or less a
fixed habit among the producers, as
the oats, by virtue of it's shade keeps
down weed sand grasses and allows
the LcspedcZa to make rapid growth.
However, just as good crops can be
produced when the seed is sown alone;
age Of giving the planter two crops
from the same ground during the
the year, with but one cost of cult
vation. Experience indicates that one
bushel of seed (25 lbs.) per acre is
about the right amount to be plant
ed. 1t requires no incubation, as the
rough little jackets containing the
seeds carry enough from the fields
from which they arc taken to insure
perfect inoculation.
No special soil preparation is ncccs-
sary, although it has been demon
stratcd beyond doubt that soils well
supplied with phosphatcs will produce
the greatest growth.
The method Of harvesting the hay
will depend somewhat on the grade
Of hay desired. In any event, the
chief effort should be directed to the
preservation of the leaves upon the
stem as they constitute great part
Of the feeding value. Cl,tting is not
started until the plants are in full
bloom, and the hay should not be cut
while the dew is on or while wet from
rain.
Little need be said in favor Of Les
pcdeza hay as feed for all kinds Of
stock after looking at the following
comparative analyses: Timothy con-
tains 2.S per cent protein, 2S.3 per-
cent carbohydrates and IA percent
fats. LespedcZa contains rs percent
protein, 31.0 percent carbohydrates
and Is per cent fats. AS compared
with other lcgumc hays it has the
advantage of being free from woody
growth, permitting its entire consump
tion and is free from the extreme
laxative properties which make some
lcgumc hays undesirable for work
stock.

WHAT WOULD IDOIF.I
WERE IN YOUR PLACE?

All are familiar with the old gag
How do, you pronounce Castoria p
and the answer-Doctors pronounce
it harmless.
But, it is really true that BOIL

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES = unless
the proper preventive and protective
measures are applied in time.
You have been advised how to COM
bat the wecvil and the plans for
fighting the weevil as outlined in pre-
vious letters should be carefully
studied and followed, but, the thing
that would do first as a County Ag-
ricultural Agent, Banker or Merchant
would be. to call meeting (not a
public meeting) of few of the lead
crs in my county or township, being
sure to have several successful farm
ers present; to size up the situation
and decide what to do. In advance
of the meeting 1 would prepare a
statement showing the population of
the county, the number of farms, size
OIL farms, farms operated by owners
and by tenants, scragc in different
crops and production; also the num-
Der of domestic animals Of different
kinds, beef and dairy cattle, swine
and sheep, poultry and egg production
bee colonies ETC., (This information is
available in the 1920 census advance
shcets) A careful study Of this state
ment showing the basis wealth of the
county should be made, and the weak
as well as the strong points of the
farming system discovered. Then,
with proper understanding of the
situation the committee can decide up
on farming program for the county.
After this comes work, not Indifferent
appropriation Of the plan, but en-
thusiastic support. If you are con-
vinced that the program is all right
make it your business to convince
the other fcllow-keep at tit is
going to take several years to put the

Bear in mind that we should con-
tinue to grow cotton if this can be
done at profit, but cotton mony
must be "velvet"-A living on the
farm comes first-wc should not have
to buy food and feed.
Carpet grass and lespcdeza pastu-
res, velvet beans, soy beans, COW peas,
mix COWS, sour-crcam dairying, poul-
try, hogs, peanuts, sweet potatoes to-

Gentlemen:
Owing to my nhscncc from the Of
flee your telegram on Jan. 2Gth has
Just been received, and in reply will
say that there are about 1872 loose
leaf warehouses i'm the entire Burlcy
district. OF these houses our Asso-
citation now owns 1T, and there are
ID houses, mostly small ones, selling
tobacco at public auction.
UP to this time they have sold
around thirty-scven to thiity-elght
million pounds, and for the last ten
days receipts in these houses are ex-
tremcly light ,and in my opinion, thcv
will not sell over twelve or fifteen
million pounds more.
The Association began receiving TO-
o''NNo III LcHHlSloH OH thursday,
Jan 'ary Goth, and on Monday, Janu-
airy 30th, we began receiving in all of
our other receiving points, about 90
in number.
We are making substantial ad-
vance to each farmer on delivery of
his tobacco, and this advance i'm most
cases has proven to be more than the
farmer got for his entire crop last
year, and | am glad to 81 ythc farm
crs over the entire district are not
only satisfied, but are charmed with
the way their Association has started
off
We estimate that the Association
Will handle this year in the ncighbor-
hood of 100000 pounds and from
present indications, | feel confident
that we will sell most Of our tobacco
in Winter order. However, we arc
prepared to finance and rcdry all Of
the crop, if it becomes necessary to
do so.
We all feel very much encouraged
over the way our operation has start
cd off, and the members of the Asso-
citation are pleased with the way their
business is being handled, and I feel
confident it is going to be the saliva
ton Of the business interest Of our
section.
If there is any information at any
time that you desire, write me and
will give it to you.
With kind regards and best wishes,

Yours very truly,
