MAY FRAME ANOTHER BILL.

Senator Sterling expressed the
opinion that the committee at its
meeting tomorrow would start on a
bill which he thinks the majority
will approve.
On the other hand, Senator Borah
is convinced no such legislation as
contemplated by the Dyer Bill would
pass muster before the Supreme
Court. He is Of the opinion the
Federal Government has no authority
to Interfere with the police power
OF the States to the extent that would
be necessary to carry out the pro-
visions OF any anti-lynching bill.
Senator Lodge (Mass.- showed in
terest to-day in the action Of the
committee on the bill. He is anxious
to have some measure along that
line enacted by Congress, as there is
strong sentiment among Negro
voters in his State in favor of that
legislation.
In pointing out the flaws in the
Dyer bill several Senators on the
Judiciary Committee riddled the pro-
vision by which a community was to
be fined heavily in the event q lynch
ing took place, and the fact that in
trying charges against those taking
part in lynchings Federal jurors
could be imported from other
States.

Senator Sterling, Republican, South

The bill, introduced by Representa-

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE REPORTS
The Senate Judiciary Committee
Tuesday the r23rd inst. practically
threw into the discard tho Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill which passed the
House January'26 last on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. A new
bill will be framed.
While the committee took no off,
cial action several of the leading
members admitted the majority opin-
ion was opposed to the House meas
ure on the ground It never would
stand tho test before the Supreme
Court. .n
Imbued with that belief, the sub
committee consisting Of Senators
Borah Udaho), Overman IN. CO.,
Shields (Tenn.), Dillingham; (Vt.)
and Sterling Is. d. made an unfa-
vorable report to the full committee
today on the Dyer bill.
Senator Bornh delivered orally the
conclusions Of the majority Of the
subcommittee that the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill was unconstitutional
in many respects. In that conclusion
he asserted he was supported by
Senators Overman, Shields and Dill
lingham. Senator Sterling, the only
other memeber Of the subcommittee
took exception to the majority re-
port. lie expressed the opinion that
the Supreme Court indicated in pre-
vious decisions that it would be
possible for the Federal Government
to enact legislation to protect indi-
Viduals in event that the States had
failed to offer the protection guar
anteed under the Constitution.
I After the reports OF the sub
committee there was discussion Of
the subject of lynching and Of ways
and means by which the Federal Gov
eminent might enact some legislation
which to an extent would stamp it
out.

deliver to the market well-grown speci-
mems of red or yellow onions, so these

The rows may be spaced from -
inches to 80 inches apart, depending
on whether any horse cultivation is to
be given. Onion growers generally
find it best to cultivate entirely with a
wheel hoe, and space the rows about Is
inches apart. After thinning, which is
done when the plants are the size of a
lead pencil, the plants should sand
about two inches apart in the row for
perfect stand. To secure such a
stand. To secure such a stand it will
require from four to five pounds Of
seed per acre. While it will pay best

casting the seed on sod land How
ever, this is more or less of gamble.
A good crop of onions should yield
500 bushels per acre. The onions are
harvested when mature, stage indi-
Gated by the tops breaking over At
this time they should be pulled, left
to dry in the field few days and then
the tops twisted off and the onions

spring they may be controlled by

the same way as for grasshoppers.
Onions may be sown year after year
on the same ground. Unless disease
affects them the ground will become

This is one crop which is likely to be
grown more in North Daokta in the
future than it has been in the past.
To summarize, the keys to success
in onion growing are Land free from
weeds, good preparation, early seeding,
thorough frequent shallow cultivation.

The onion is one of the horticultural
crops which will often prove protita-
BILE on a commercial scale in North Da-
tgota.
Onions may be grown in one of there
ways: from onion sets, sowing seed
IN hot beds and transplanting to the
fields, Or by sowing seed direct in the
fields. Raising onions from onion sets
Is a practice followed only by home
gardeners. The transplanting method
will give the largest yield but requires
great amount of hand labor and
therefore can only be followed where
labor is cheap and plentiful.
By far the bulk of the onion crop of
she country is raised by drilling the
seed directly into the field and 1T is
this method that should be followed
IN North Dakota.
Onions may be very paying crop,
or losing one, depending on the way
the crop is grown. The first requisite
for success is to have the land well pre-
pared. The soil should be rich, loose,
and free from weeds. Freedom from
weeds is necessity because if there
Is much weed seed present the amount
Of hand labor in the onion field will
: be greatly increased. If the soil is too
weedy it will make the growing Of a
profitable crop impossible. Almost any
soil in North Dakota will do we'll for
onions provided it has been literally
supplied with organic matter by the
addition of manure, preferably at least
one year before the onion crop is put
In, and the soil has been clean cult
waited. The land should be fall plowed
and fairly we'll worked down before
winter. This is necessary because
carly seeding is extremely important
The onion seed should be sOwn just
Els soon as the ground can be smOothed
and seeded in the spring TO make a
success of onions the seed should be
sown with a garden drill and the plants
cultivated with Il wheel hoe. These
two tools win cost about $25. Shallow
cultivation must be given frequently
and continued as hong as possible at
intervals Of ten days or less
The varieties best suited to North
Dakota are Silver Skin for white; Red
