LINSEED OIL MEAL
BEST FOR LAMBS

Two hundred and seventy lsmbs re
Gently finished a To-day feeding trial
at the University of Nebraska where
q series of trials are now under way
to determine the amounts OF linseed
oilmeal to add to the standard fatten-
ing ration for best results. Similar
tests are also being made on alfalfa
molasses meal.
Tight-wooled Wyoming lambs OF
medium weight were selected. AT the
time the experiment began they wers
valued at $13.05 a hundred and aver
aged about sixty-three pounds per
head. The standard ration, consisted
OF corn and alfalfa hay to which was
added varying quantities of oilmeal or
alfalfa-molasses meal. Each lot con-
sisted OF 30 lambs.
The greatest profit was made on the
lot fed corn. alfalfa and a medium
(.297 pound daily per head) allowance
of oilmeal. The lot averaged "a cents
profit per head. Second best profits,
rs cents per head, were made on the
LOT which received corn, alfalfa and
heavy (.342 pounds daily feed OF oil
meal. The light GAP pounds daily
feed Of oilmeal produced the third
most profitable group which made 10
cents per head.
Lots fed corn, alfalfa and alfalfa.
molasses meal came In fourth and fifth,
the profit on a medium feed Of the
meal 1854 pounds per head daily
being SO cents per head and on a light
feed (1S6 pounds per head) being "a
cents. The check lot which had corn
and alfalfa with no supplements made
a profit Of 43 cents a head.
In this experiment both alfalfa-mo-
lasses meal and linseed oilmeal had
higher replacement values when fed
In small amounts than when fed In
medium or heavy allowances.
Feed prices were as follows: Shelled
corn, 90 cents a bushel; oats, 40 cents;
oilmeal. $50 per ton; alfalfa-molasses
meal, $50 per ton prairie hay, $12 per
ton and alfalfa hay, SIS per ton. The
daily gains were made In the
lots receiving oilmeal. The lowest
of 100 pounds gain was In the
group which received a light allowance
Of alfalfa-molasses meal, corn and al
falfa hay. Only three cents behind
the group fed alfalfa hay and
,orn. Greater profits were made on
having a higher cost per 100
gain, because of better finish
consequently better prices.

India Wants
But independence

The view that Indian discomfort
can be remedied only by independ-
ence from Britain was forcibly ex-
pressed by Mahomed Ali Jinna, a
Mohammedan political leader, when
interviewed in Bombay on the Kenya
decision. India and Indians" he
said, will not command any respect
as long as India remains a depend
eney of Great Britain.
THE kenya decision only brings
home more vividly to the people of
India that while in their own coun-
try they are yet subject race it is
impossible for them to establish
equality of status with the white
race in the administration of other
parts of the British commonwealth.
The decision is clearly based upon
the ground of white domination and
the assumed inferiority of Indians.
Until India becomes the mistress Of
her own house, l do not believe she
has the slightest chance of ever real
izing the citizenship of the empire,
no matter how often the British gov
eminent may make declarations of a
desire to treat Indians as citizens,
and no matter what pledges may be
given.
1T is not much use passing reso-
lutions and making long speeches,
except for educating public opinion.
The attainment of self government is
the only remedy for our grievances.
Il hope the kenya lesson will bear
some fruit and will bring about I'M
ity and cooperation between the va
rious leaders and the people Of
India. Boston Globe.

are conducting experiments to find
a species that will be substitute for
the American species and resist the

been made on the Natural Bridge

paintings of an Indian chestnut have
been made in the Florida national

Plan Coolidge and
Dawes Campaign
In Every State Union

Washington, July 21.-Intention of
Republican leaders to conduct a
nationwide rather than sectional
campaign in behalf of Coolidge and
Dawes was announced here tonight
by William NJ. Butler. chairman of
the Republican National commit
tee.
We do not propose to seek sup
port in one section of the country
through concentrated and obvious
effort, and to try to gain it in an
of issues" Mr.. Butler said in a state
ment issued at the headquarters of
the national committee after day
of conferences.
Arriving here early today Mr.,
Butler had a brief conference with
President Coolidge at the White

cussions with party leaders, includ-
ing Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania.

the chairman returned to the White
House tonight for dinner and
lengthy discussion of campaign
plans, including such subjects as the
notification ceremonies for Mr..
Coolidge here August IA. and the
number of addresses to be made by
the president during the campaign.
Some indications were given today
that the president might make more
speeches than originally had been
planned, possibly eight to ten in
rather widely separated cities, but
it was declared fatty that no final
decision had been reached as to the
number and not even tentative de-
cision as to the cities.

Model Federal Contracts
Budget Bureau Work

Washington. July 2l-(By A. P)--
Officials working under the direction
of the Budget Bureau have practi-
cally completed the draft of a new
federal contract for submission to
Congress at the next session to sup
plant PA contract laws now on the
books and make the whole system
uniform.
The new contract has grown up
from efforts of the Budget Bureau to
standardize and coordinate federal
activities such as leasing. purchasing
or selling and for construction work.
In line with this campaign, the
budgets specifications board has is
sued more than 240 masters specifi-
cations and has nearly covered the
field of government purchases. Di-
rector Lord insisted that operations
OF these specification standards ulti-
mately will mean many millions IN
savings to the federal government in
supplies it must purchase.
For certain classes of materials and
supplies there have been almost as
many different specifications as there
were federal purchasing agencies, but
now the government will no longer
pay for some decoration on a piece
of furniture or round corner on a
piece of hardware.
The whimsicalities and idiosyncra-
sizes of particular federal officers, Di-
rector Lord said. will bave no further
weight in the kind of furniture or
letter heads or water coolers or soap
they have supplied to them by the
government.
