BAPTIST CHURCH
FIGHT Gets HOT
Conservative-L Cont overs y
Reaches Peak Today; Both Admit
Strength; Liberals Say They
VIII Win Out.

indianapolis, June 15.-The fight
between conservatives and liberals
for control of the northern Baptist
convention reached crux today.
Upon the result depended whether
the church shall adopt a policy OF
progressive religion" or adhere to
acceptance of the Bible In its literal
form without allowance for al'egory,
Fundamentalists were prepared to
attack the report of the general
board of promotion, which dealt
with expenditures of more than a
million dollars during the past year
and made recommendations for fu
ture policies.
They were complaining both about
the amount and the way in which
it was spent. Their first objection
was against spending the money to
carry out the ideas of religious edu-
cation and social work started by
the Organization" group now in
power. The second was against the
heavy expense of maintaining the
board under a schedule not written
by the convention which created it
three years ago.
DR.. ]. G. Massee of Boston said
his fundamentalist followers will
fight any move that would permit
free Interpretation of biblical figures
of speech.
The liberals admit DR.. Massee's S
following this year is stronger than
ever, but they say the Organization
program will go through.
The fundamentalists won the first
skirmish when they succeeded in
having a motion adopted requiring
the nominations for officers to be
made public "a hours before the
vote,

LOCAL PASTOR SAYS STORY OF
STRAW-DRAWING IN YOUTH FOR
CAREERS IS PURELY MYTHICAL

"That straw-drawing business
didn't happen" said Rev. Sam d.
Taylor, pastor of the First Baptist
church here.
He was referring to picture
printed in The Express yesterday
and accompanied by story, pur-
porting to tell how, years ago his
mother called her sons about her
and caused them to draw straws to
see who would be doctors and who
preachers. The picture was one of
the regular service supplied by the
Copic Service company of New York.
The story of course came from the
same source.
In speaking of the picture and
story this morning, Rev. Mr.. Taylor
said:
Il have noticed in several papers
a picture of the eight sons of Mrs.
M. ]. Taylor, which seems to be 60
ing the rounds, and do not object to
its being printed, but do not like
the story that Is connected with it,

"The straw drawing business as
reported in the paper didn't happen.
My father, frontier Baptist preach
er in Texas, lived to see most of his
children grown, ten of whom he
baptized into the church. He paid
20 per cent interest on the money
he borrowed to send the oldest boy
to medical school. When this one
finished he helped the next, and
with the cooperation of all the
family they were sent to school one
at a time.
when father died mother was
left homeless with four of the
younger boys. BY hard work and
close management they paid out the
little farm near Goldthwaite, Tex.
She assisted each one all she could
in school, but let each one select
his calling as he felt he ought.
There are four doctors, three preach
ers and one merchant among the
boys, There are three girls living"

cording to those in close touch with
the situation, show that 81 percent of
the men favor a strike rather than
to submit TO the cuts of the board

BARLEY BEING USED
FOR FEEDING SWINE
Its Use for Brewing Purposes
Has Fallen Off.
Department Of Agriculture Takes Up
Problem of Finding Relative Value
Of Light and Heavy Grades
1t Is Cheap Crop.

Barley as hog feed is coming on
the markets in increasing amounts,
probably for the reasons that its use
for brewing purposes has fallen off and
the hog industry has been moving In
to the barley-produclng districts. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has taken up the problem of find
ing out the relative feeding value of
light and heavy barley. There are no
federal standards for this grain, but
light and heavy grades are recognized
on the market
During 1921, the department made
feeding tests of the two grades, and
the trials will be repeated. Not enough
data are available yet for definite con-
clusiOns as to the relative merits of
the light and heavy grain, but the re-
suits have shown that high-class bar
ley has feeding value only slightly
lower than good shelled corn. When
these tests are completed the depart
ment will have additional information
on the methods of feeding barley,
whether or not it should be fed whole,
rolled, dry or soaked.

been displaced and the value of the
family and hired labor saved.
Had all the surplus horses been
sold there would have been further
reduction of about S115 per farm in
the cost of horse labor. On many of
the farms there had been reduction
of feed for work stock due to the use
OF the tractor. and if this had been
taken into account a further saving
OF about SIT per farm would have
been shown.
The analysis of the cost per acre of
power and man labor for different
operations when done with tractors
and horses gave the following aver
ages:
Flowing spring and fall with
tractors .......................$l9 9 per acre
Flowing spring and fall with

Cost of Power on Horse Farms.
A group of 50 farms where trac-
tors were not owned but comparable
in size to those where tractors were
used, were surveyed in order to oh
tain direct comparison between
costs on farms where tractors are
owned and costs on farms of similar
size and type where tractors are not
owned. There was an average Of 105
head of work stock on these farms
of which 101 head were needed for
the work. One horse was needed for
each 33 crop acres while the tractor
owners were keeping one for each ~
crop acres and needed, in addition to
their tractors, only one for each 81
crop acres.
The cost per head of keeping the
work stock was $66 per year where
tractors We're not owned and $64
where they were owned The horses
worked 1872 hours per head on the
tractor farms and 624 hours on the
other farms. The cost per farm of
power for drawbar work where trac.
tors were not used was SOL as COM
pared with $1,025 where both tractors
and horses We're used.
What Farmers Think of Tractors.
The owners opinions regarding the
use of tractors showed that 70 per
cent of the farmers interviewed be-
lieved that their tractors would be
profitable investments and 70 per cent
of them intended to buy others when
needed The principal advantages
mentioned were the ability to do more
work in given time, and the saving
of horses in hot weather Among the
disadvantages, the first cost and de-
probation and the running expenses
were mentioned most frequently. The
tractor was used as the primary
source of power for field work by 80
per cent of the owners, while Al per
cent used the tractors as supplement
tary to horses. In II per cent of the
cases the tractor owners believed that
the tractors had been responsible for
some increased yield per acre.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
The cost OF power on tractor farms
in the winter wheat belt is somewhat
greater than when horses are used for
all the work. according to the results
of survey by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. A prelim-
mary report just issued shows, how
ever that three-fourths of the tractor
owners were of the opinion that their
tractors were proving profitable.
This survey shows differences in the
cost of power and labor due to the use
of tractors the work done with them,
and the cost per acre for different OPP
erations both with horses and tractors.
Some 354 tractor owners in northern
Oklahoma, Kansas and southern Ne
braSka We're visited and Il complete
record Of all work done with tractors
and horses during the year was OBJ
tanned, together with statements con
corning the farmers opinions of tie
advantages and disadvantages of using
tractors. The farms averaged about
800 acres in size. on which 352 acres
Of crops We're grown in 1921, nearly
three-fourths of the crop area being
In wheat
The cost of using tractors for draw
bar work on these farms averaged $fSi
for the year, or 800 per hour. These
farmers were keeping an average of
S.3 head of work stock in addition to
their tractors and the cost per farm
of keeping the work stock for the year
was SOIL. Thus the total annual cost
of power for drawbar work was ST. OPS.
The tractors furnished the power for
40 per cent of the drawbar work.
Variations in Cost of Power.
There were great variations in the
practices and costs on individual
farms and the results Indicate that
often the cost of using the tractors
and keeping the work stock was excess
