SIGNS WILL WARN
Of SPEED OFFICERS

"Slow down. Danger Of speed
cops.n
These signs. which at first sight
might appear to be conspiracy
among law violators, may soon ap-
pear along Bexar county highways.
Instead of a conspiracy, however,
according to w. II. Furlong Of the
highway department of the Chamber
Of Commerce, the signs will indicate
that the downtrodden motorist is
righteously and legally seeking meas
ures of self protection.
The measure may be taken as a
last step against speed traps when
they are located along the highways,
Mr. Furlong said.
Speed traps are against the law. he
said, and in an opinion obtained from
a county official he hes learned that
signs warning OF them would be as
appropriate as danger signals for de-
tours. washed out bridges, and sharp
curves.

BATTLE LOOMS
OVER SENATE
APP0|NTEE
Republican Leaders Oppose
Choice Of North Da-

WASHINGTON. Nov. IA con
troversial legal question that may pre-
cipitate a bitter fight arose in the
Senate today as the result of the &C
ton of Governor Sorle of North Da-
kota in appointing Gerald p. Nye as
successor to the late Senator Ladd Of
North Dakota.
Nye, a newspaper editor Of Coopers-
town, supported Senator Lsfollette for
the presidency, and was defeated for
Congress on a Progressive ticket.
Administration leaders announced
they would contest the seating of Nye
on the grounds that Sorlie had no
constitutional right 10 make an APP

place by a special election.

Senate's best constitutional lawyers.
like Senator Borah. Republican.
Idaho. for instance, believes that Sor-
lie was within his rights in naming
Nye.
Aside from the constitutional ques-
ton. the appointment drew fire in
administration ranks because Nye, if
seated, would likely join the little
band of insurgents who have always
been thorns in the side of Republican
leaders.
Death has thinned the ranks OF
Progressives and they warmly greeted
today the appointment of Nye.
ACCUSE SORLIE.
Some administration senators even
accused Sorlie of bad faith" in max
ing the appointment after he had set
next June 80 for a special election to
fill the place. News of the selection
greatly surprised Republican chief
tains.
Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
chairman of the Republican senatorial
campaign committee, had drawn a
brief and sent it to Sorlie. telling just
why, in view of Republican leaders.

that Republicans would not vote to

That done, Republicans thought the
question was settled and were con-

every right to name Nye and the Sc

The case was given TO the jury at
IL SO a. m. and at 5:12 p. m. they
filed into the court room prepared TO

The verdict was a stunning blow
to Stephenson. He had never once

and for Mrs. Anna 0berholtzer, the
mother, and George. the brother.

For q moment, Stephenson said
nothing. He just sat and stared.
His face, serious for the first time
during the day, when the jurors filed
in, became red. He rose in his seat
and speaking half to the court. and
half to his chief counsel cried out:
THAT is injustice. / shall appeal.
Then he sat down abruptly, and

Stephenson admitted to bond pending

WHEN TO CUT
YOUR ALFALFA
Tests at Experiment Sta.
ton Indicate One-half in
Bloom Most Practical

The first experimental work with
farm crops at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment station was a time of
Cutting" experiment of alfalfa. This
was started in 1921 and has been
continuous. Five years complete data
will be available at the end Of this
season Only four years work are
reported at this time but the results
Of the first and second crops this year
indicate that the five-year results
will be similar to those four years.
The experiment consists Of tripli-
cate 1-20 acre plots cut at three diff
ferent stages of maturity; viz, one
fourth, one-half, and three-fourths in
bloom. Four year average yields per
acre from the different stages of ma
turity are as follows: one-fourth in
bloom Cos tons per acre; one-half
in bloom 7O5 and three-fourths in
bloom 7.19. These results indicate
', that alfalfa will produce larger yields
by allowing each cutting to become
fairly mature than by cutting when
immature even tho an extra cutting
is obtained.
Taking the yield, the quality of
hay, and length Of season into con-
sideration cutting when one-half in
bloom is more practical than when
three-fourths in bloom because the
yield lis approximately the same, the
quality of the hay is better and cur
ing of the third crop is more easily
accomplished.
This experiment is carried on in
| cooperation with the Animal Hus-
bandry department of the State Col
lege After the hay is cut it is ship
ped to Pullman where it is actually
fed and the nutritive value of the
hay determined. Results of these
feeding trials are not complete at
present but will be reported at a
later date.
