 Ndtion1Dide Rail Strike

Washington, Feb. 16-(By Int. News)-Attorney General Daugherty was giving personal attention today to reports coming to him from gov ernment investigators and observers throughout the country concerning 1n- dustriaI controversies which may re- suit in nationwide mine and rail road strike on April 1, or shortly thereafter.
 On his desk are the inside" details of the troubles the union miners are having at Indianapolis in seeking to while they lay plans for strike vote referendum unless their wage demands are granted, and reports from United States attorneys who are awaiting in- structions from Washington before proceeding against strike leaders who commerce in fuel, food and other necessities.
 There is considerable speculation fin official circles over the probable course oS events in the light of Attor- ney General Daugherty's recent utter quarters as antagonistic to the pro- posaf of the United Mine Workers of America for an alliance with the rail- way unions to resist wage reductions. Agents of the Department of Justice will be on hand when the miners and railroaders get together fin Chicago next Tuesday to discuss the proposal for a 'tcoalition.''
 Under the Attorney Generals de- ciSion an exhaustive study of the fuel situation is being made in reports showing thus far that while a strike discomfort in some quarters. it is fig ured that no actual suffering would result unless the waIkout continued for an indefinite period

House Leaders Insist On
 Settling Bonus Legislation

Washington. Feb. 16-No gleam of gold had today rewarded anxious Con- gressional diggers after soldier bonus money as the mixup in Congress over the bonus legislation grew more clamorous, and there was thsistence by the leaders. that the issue be set- tied.
 President Harding's letter on bonus legislation and finances, promised last Tuesday is being awaited by the House and Senate, but there is lively appre- out of the difficulties which confront these bodies This letter was due to reach the Senate Finance committee today.
 Republican of Pennsylvania and oth- CTS continued to press their argu- mentS in favor of use of interest and principal of the foreign war loans. They were checked by treasury objec- ton that such a plan would dislocate proposed treasury debt settlements.
 A plan or levying n excess tax upon the privilege of use and enjoy ment of large land holdings based up- on their unin1proved value with in creased inheritance taxes was ad- vanced in letters to President Hard
 ing and Chairman Fordney of the House Ways and Means committee by Representative Oscar E. Keller, Re-
 publican of Minnesota: Each of these plans has been rejected by the Ways and Means committee.
 IL, of Pennsylvania, brought forward the bold course of abandoning all bonus plans except the paid-up insurance. He estimated the insurance would cost for the first year about s21 100000 increasing annually until the total cost at the end of twenty years would be in the neighborhood of S6,00O,OOO O.0OO. His suggestion received little support. During the day House Republican
 Leader Mondell was expected to elaborate his suggestion that there should be a further pairing of the reg ular annual appropriation bills, there
 by affecting a saving of some s30o.- 100000. With the assistance of few short term certificates borrowing by the treasury would be sufficient to meet the bonus cash payments. it was said.
 The Mondeu plan contemplates slashing of funds fer the national de- Tense by army and navy.
 Republican leaders on Congress fear that if this slashing is carried to an extreme there will be formed in Congress a national sdefense'' group
 made up of members of the powerful Army and Navy committees Such a group would make it hot for the lead CTS and for those who seek the denoi- tion of the Army and Navy

 Reduces Discount

London, Feb. 16-(By the A. P.)- The Bank of England today reduced it's rate of discount to four and one half per cent.

The fig ure set today is the lowest since the outbreak of the war.
 The reduction of the bank rate was primarily made possible by the recent large reduction in the governments floating debt and currency circulation which contributed to the p1ethara of funds in the money market. permit ting the placing of treasury bills at a lower rate and the suspension of the five per cent. bond issue.

weather conditions.
up to the present time the weather
seems to have been all in favor OF the
boil weevil, with mild winter fol-
lowed by n wet. cold spring, which
made planting late and stands not
very good. Only one other event
seems to be needed to make com
plete Knockout, and that would be
rainy July. A farmer may still put
up stiff fight, however, with a good
stand, RUSHING THE CULTIVA-
TlON, fast and often. picking the
early weevis and early punctured
squares.
1T seems folly to plant cotton this
late in the season under weevil con-
ditions. FOOD AND FGED CROPS
must be given extra attention this
year, for without them in abundance
man and beast may starve. 1t is an

Experimental Poisoning.

a few farmers scattered over the
county will . selected by the County
Agent to carry on experiments with
wcovil control measures. Several
Of these have already been seleu.,,
Only a few acres Of the best land,
where he yield is ordinarily over a
bale per acre, will be selected.
Fields where all other methods
have been practiced, such as fall
cleaning up, early and good prcpara-
ton. good seed, proper fertiliza ton,
a good, thick stand secured early,
etc, are the fields most likely to
beat the weevil.
Only a few SUCH experiments can
be looked after closely because Of
the fact that each will require visits
at practically tho same time.
1t is expected that various sorts of
busting machines will be used in
these experiments, depending on the
kind the farmer is willing to buy or
Is most likely to give results.
Every one attempting such expert
ments, however, Is warned that sue
cess Is dependent on several things,
such as weather conditions, starting
at the proper time, applying at pro-
rer intervals, and in the right man
ner.
1t must be borne in mind that the
poisoning, even under approved gov
ernment methods, Is still in the ex-
perimental stage, and Is not fool
proof by any means. 1t has obtained
