Washington, March 3O-(By I. N. S-)-Senator William E. Borah, is not going to drop his fight against the Four Power Pacific Treaty just because he and it's other opponents were unable to prevent its ratifica- ton by the Senate.
 Will Carry The Issue.
 Borah allowed it to become known today that he is already preparing to carry into this years congressional campaign the issue of whether or not the treaty involves the United States in an entangling alliance with Great Britain, France or Japan.
 He is planning to take that issue straight to the American people in the hope that he can persuade them to regard the pact as he and Senators Johnson of California, La Toilette of Wisconsin, and France, of Maryland. see it.
 Borah is the only one of the four Republican ''irreconciIiables'' who voted against the treaty who is not a candidates for reelection this year. He therefore proposes to give John son, La Toilette and France whatever help he can be taking the stump in their respective states and rapping hard the pact which he and they so bitterly condemned.

100 pounds, and ranging in size from
IA by 16 inches to II by % inches by
about SO to 4S inches in length. In
the Central Western markets the II by
22-inch bale is probably the most gen.
orally used, and on the Pacific Coast
both this size and the large bale pre-
vail almost exclusively.
To avoid differences between buyer
and seller it is suggested that few
simple rules be kept In mind. The
seller should state clearly all neces-
sary factors, including quality and
quantity of hay, time at or within
which shipment can be made, routing,
rates, price, and terms of payment.
All sales should be confirmed by let
ter, stating all terms included In the
original offer. When confirmation Is
received from the buyer any items
that appear incorrect should be cor
rected Immediately. Since much Of
such business Is transacted by tele-
phone or telegraph brevity Is neces-
sary, but few extra words will often
save much trouble and money. Sam
pie kilograms covering various con-
ditions are given In the bulletin.
Best Time to Market.
The time Of marketing makes a
great deal Of difference In the price
received for hay. Statistics compiled
by the department and tabulated in
this publication show that for a pc
Rod of ten years ending in 1921 the
highest average prices at two large
markets were reached in April for
prairie and alfalfa hay, and In May
for timothy. The months Of highest
price are just before the new crop
begins to come on the market.
Hay producers and shippers, says
the bulletin, should secure all the in
formation possible bearing on the mar
keting Of hay. They may keep well
Informed by watching the reports pre-
pared periodically by the Department
of Agriculture. Copies Of the bulletin

The merits of the consignment meth
cd and the straight-sales method Of
marketing hay are discussed in Farm
ers' Bulletin 1885. Business Methods
Of Marketing Hay. by G. A. Collier,
recently issued by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. In addi-
ton, chapters are devoted to trade
rules, when and where to sell hay,
billing and invoicing shipments, and
loss and damage claims. Explanations
are given therein for some Of the
principal trade terms and suggestions
are offered as to how the various aids
to marketing may be applied by the
producer or shipper.
Two Methods Explained.
The consignment method consists In
shipping to brokers or commission
merchants, who act as the shippers
representative in selling his hay on
the market. BY the straight-sales
method the shipper sells his hay at q
fixed price, either at the point Of ship
ment or point Of destination at GER
tain specified time. The shipper must
consider conditions and decide which
method is the more advantageous to
use, for the method that pay be ad
vantageous one week may be not al
all profitable the next.
1t Is important to know the prefer
ences Of the various markets, for II
is the buyers preference that prevails

markets prefer large five or six-wire
bales weighing from IT'S to 215 pounds

EFFICIENT THRESHING HINTS
Uniform, but Not Too Rapid Feeding
Constant Speed Of Machine
and Adjustment.

A few points to keep in mind for
efficient threshing are: uniform feed
ing, not too rapid feeding, constant
speed of the machine, and proper adj
justment. Many times when a thresh-
erman is anxious to complete his job,
the work Is rushed through at consid-
cradle loss to the owner Of the grain.
Greater personal interest In each job
usually makes the small threshing out
fit more desirable than the large one.
With the large outfit part Of the
crew Is usually long distance from
home and they do not have the same
interest in the work as when the en-
tire crew is made up Of men on adj
jacent farms.

but this Is not great. There are ru-
mors, however, that the eating of mill
dewed hay causes Inflammation In
horses mouths. The Ohio experiment

yer hay causes stomatitis In horses.

The United States Department Of

ticularly interested In learning If

Jury Verdict Awards Z
Man $6,500,000 in
p Period of 80 Years

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--A jury in
the supreme court Tuesday emerged
from q haze of compound interest
figures for ninety-nine wears and
gave a verdict to e. e. Smathers,
owner Of the property at IS Broad
way, against the Standard Oil Com
pany of New York, tenant, by
which Smathers, his heirs, executors
or assignees will be saved $4,000, 900
in the period.
The suit rested on whether quar-
terly rental of $62,50O should be paid
by the Standard Oil on the first day
of each quarter, which Smathers
contended was stipulated in the
lease. The Standard Oil company
argued that the lease, which pro-
vides for a rental of $24, 100000 for
the ninety-nine years, did not say
anything about quarterly payments
in advance.
Mathematician got busy and fig
ured that If the Standard Oil could
sustain it's argument Smathers
would lose the equivalent of per
cent on $62,500, or $3,750 a year.
Total loss Of interest for ninety-nine
years was given as 1871 ,250. Then,
when the experts compounded the
steadily increasing amount on the 6
per cent basis, the $6,500,00O appar-
emily impressed the jury.
