CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 3
AS the special General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South
. convened today, to consider DISPOSE
. tion of plan for unitication with the
northern body, word went about that
! leaders of various factions had gotten
together during the night and had
: smoothed over many difficulties.
There were many reports last hight
. that one of the first moves when the
conference got down to business
5 would be the offering Of motion for
. adjournment sine die by those who
believe the session to be in violation
). of the church constitution.
This wing was understood to have
the support of those opposed to uni
fication under the plan drawn up by
: the joint commission appointed by
: the two branches Of the church. There
f, also had been'numerous rumors that
an attempt might be made to stop the
: proceedings through a federal court
: injunction should other methods fail
The conference was opened with a
: devotional service.
. The special general conference was
: face to face today with the greatest
. problem encountered within eighty
: years-the proposal to unite the
! 100000 Methodists of the country
: into one great body.
: The delegates were to determine
whether the unification plan formu-
! lated by the joint commission of the
: northern and southern churches
: should be submitted to the regional
: conferences which compose the
1 southern branch Should two-thirds
: of the general conference approve
submission, each regional conference.
at its next annual meeting, would
vote upon the proposal, and should
three -fourths of the minor bodies act
favorably. unification would be an
accomplished fact, once the regional
conferences of the northern branch
had done likewise. The Northern
General Conference already has voted
to submit the plan to it's subordinate
divisions.
Sentiment of the delegates appeared
to be overwhelmingly in favor of
submission of the unification plan to
the regional conferences. Some ad-
mitted that the plan did not appear to
be perfect but expressed the belief
that once the two branches of the
church were united, the rough spots
could be ironed out with little diff
Guilty.

Fattening Dairy Steers
Is Profitable Business

The dairyman who has a number
fsbull calves or hand that cannot be
disposed of for breeding purposes
often wonders what to do with them
when they have reached one year of
age. Can they be castrated, dehorned
and fattened for the market at that
age by the breeders themselves, or
can they be sold to men who are in
the feeding business? To answer
the question the Ohio experiment sta
ton conducted a feeding test with six
Holstein bull calves, lis months of
age, when they weighed an average of
626 pounds per head.
The bull calves were dehorned and
castrated in December, 1921, and on
January II, 1922, at the weight men
toned. were put on feed, a ration of
ground corn, oil meal, mixed hay and
corn slower being fed. During a period
of 154 days they consumed an average
of ii pounds ground corn. 2.5 pounds
oil meal, "A pounds mixed hay and %
pounds corn slower. On this they made
a daily gain of 2.5T pounds per head,
at a cost of $1O.16 per 100 pounds
gain.
During the same period a lot of
Angus calves averaging 632 pounds per
head were fed the same feeds. They
consumed about two pounds corn meal,
two pounds hay and M pound slower
less per head than the dairy e and
gained SO of a pound less per head per
day. The dairy steers, in other words,
proved to be the heaviest eaters and
also made a slightly larger gain per
pound of feed consumed.
The dairy steers produced 100
pounds of gain at a cost of S10.16 and
the Angus steers at a cost of Sl0.34.
The dairy steers were put in the feed
lot at a valuation of S4.25 per 100
pounds and the beef steers at a value
of 81 per hundred. The former sold
on the market for $3.50 and the latter
for $9.75 a hundred. The profit on the
dairy steers was $10.S3 per head and
on the beef steers $500.
This test, so far as one test of this
sort can prove anything, showed con-
clusively that dairy steers can be fed
at a good profit by the feeder when
he buys them at the right price and,
also, that they make excellent use of
their feed.

Purebred Ram Shown to
Be Best Mutton Producer

Breeding and feeding trials with two
lots of ewes Mt the Missouri expert
ment station have shown that lambs
from a purebred ram grow and fatten
much faster and sell at much higher
prices per pound than lambs from a
scrub ram and exactly similar ewes.
The average total gain of the lambs
sired by the better ram was 2.54
pounds more at three months (93.61
days. of age than the average total
gain of the lambs sired by the inferior
ram at four months (122.5 days. of
age. The average daily gain of the
better lambs was 26.6 per cent greater
than that of the lot of lambs sired by
the inferior ram.
The feed eaten per 100 pounds gain
by the lot of lambs sired by the in
ferior ram was SO per cent more than
that eaten by the lambs sired by the
superior ram. The grain eaten per
100 pounds gain was SS.7S pounds for
the former lot and only 52.s1 pounds
for the latter.
At three months of age the lambs
sired by the ram of mutton type were
$50 pounds heavier and made a total
gain of SAB pounds greater than the
lambs sired by the inferior ram. The
lambs from the scrub sire required %
ner cent more Grajn-per. 100 pounds

Feeding Fish Meal or
Tankage for Protein

All hogs raised on the experimental
of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md, have
been given fish meal or tankage rs
their protein supplement since the de-
partment demonstrated by a series of
experiments that fish meal is as valu-
able as tankage as a hog feed. Other
studies have shown that shrimp bran,
a by-product of the shrimp factories,
is a very valuable protein feed for
hogs. Shrimp bran was practically
~valueless before the department made
this study. Now it is worth almost as
much per ton as tankage as a hog
feed.

MINE BLAST MAY
BRING CHANGE In
INSURANCE LAWS
kemmerer Coal Company Faces
Second Big Overdraft

The Kemmerer Coal in
whose No. 5 mine at Sublet from
30 to 40 men met death in an ex-
piosion Tuesday of last week. prior
TIC that disaster was responsible for
the greatest overdraft, S~135,217.SO.
on the state workmen's compensa-
ton insurance fund, that has been
made since the state Industrial
insurance system was adopted by
wyoming. The %overdraft resulted
from the disaster in the
mine August IA, 1923. in
which SO men were killed. This
Will be increased to approximately
$2SO,O00 should payments necessary
because of deaths in its Sublet pro-
perty reach the present estimated
total of $125,000. Payments nee
essary because of the Sublet dis
aster are expected to reduce the
balance in the Workmen's Compen-
sation fund to approximately $780,
oOO, an amount which might be
wiped out by a single large coal
mine disaster, such as that at Han
ne In 1903 when III men were
killed.
The Wyoming Workmen's Com
pensation fund is the result of
levies made on employers of per-
sons in extra hazardous occupations.
h nominal levy is IL per cent
OF the employers payroll and the
assessments are collected monthly.
When accidents to employees of a
contributor to the fund exceed the
amount h employer has paid into
the fund. then the employers as
sessment is increased to 3 per cent
n remains on hal basis until the
oVerdraft has been wiped out. Since
the Frontier disaster last year the
kemmerer company has been paying
in on the basis of 9 per cent as
sessment, from approximately So
400 to approximately $4,000, per
month. If the Sublet disaster in
creases its oYerdraft the estimated
amount approximately $125,OOO.
and should it pay into the
sation fund $4,000 monthly. approx
imately six years will be required
for its payment to wipe out its
o~yerdraft.
Payments of industrial accident
insurance from the Workmen's COM
pensation fund are made regardless
of whether the employers of the
persons claiming compensation have
paid into the fund amounts suffi-
Gent to meet the claims. Persons
connected with the administration
of the Wyoming workmen's com
pensation law expressed the opinion
h a the heavy drafts on the fund
resulting from coal mine disasters
most notably the two great disasters
in mines of the Kemmerer Coal
company, will make necessary re-
vision of the law to provide for as
sessment of employers pr~edicated on
the degree Of hazard to which en-
ployes in extra hazardous
lions are subjected. a scale predi-
Gated on the degree of hazard would
result in a much heavier assess
ment rate in the case of coal min
ing concerns than in the cases of
employers of persons subjected by
their employment to hazards of
lesser degree than those to which
Coal miners are exposed. Unless
the law is SO amended it is only a
question of time until the COM
pensation fund will become entirely
exhausted and special legislation ap-
preparations will be necessary to
meet claims against the state under
the workmen's compensation law.
