DRY CATHOLICS TEsTIFYING

Washington, Mar. 6.-tF-The
house judiciary committee was told
today that agricultural depression in
North Dakota had been lin no wise
aggravated by prohibition"
This assertion was included in a
statement signed by residents Of that
state and presented by Representative
Burtness, Republican, North Dakota,
taking issue with Pierce Blewett.
North Dakota farmer who testified
during the hearings for opponents Of
the dry law that decreased demand
Tor barley as q result Of prohibition
had caused hardship among the farm
ers Of his state.
North Dakota, to the contrary, has
proSpered under Il years Of prohibi-
ton, the statement said.
During this time" it added. lit
has been clearly demonstrated that
prohibition has brought lasting bene-
tit to the citizens of our state, it has
increased the economic well being Of
our people, has increased savings, has
decreased poverty, and has made
North Dakota a safe place to rear our
children. the communicating influence
OF strong drink has been greatly
curbed."
Wealth Has Increased
North Dakota, being almost
wholly an agricultural state, we feel
the general depression in agriculture
is in no wise aggravated by prohibi-
ton" the statement continued. add
ing that Notwithstanding this gener-
al depression, the wealth Of North
Dakota has increased materially dur
ing the years of national prohibition.
Figures were presented to show that
North Dakota agricultural products
had increased from $2O6. 1854 900 ir
1921 to $685.. 1856. 200 in 1923.
Burtness said that the people O.
his state felt that the good brought
BY prohibition should be continued.
Blewett had said that the lack OF q
demand for barley and rye, had re-
suited in a surplus Of wheat after
prohibition.

Toulouse, France, Mar. 6.-(R)-
Straight across Southern France from
Beziers and .Narbonne almost to the
mouth Of the Garonne flood waters
today slowly receded, leaving behind
them q spectacle Of ruin and desola-
ton that seldom has been equalled
in French history.
The dead were estimated at more
than 300, with between 10 and II
thousand homeless, many Of them
with their entire possessions swept
away. Property damage ran to bill
lions Of francs. Hundreds Of towns
and villages have been ravaged, thou
sands Of houses destroyed. factories
RACED and vineyards and farms COW
cred with q thick black slime Of mud.
Hundreds of those driven from their
homes today were still marooned on
the roofs Of houses. There were other
little groups on bits Of high land, or
even in branches Of trees. Many Il
them have not had food for nearly 50
hours while relief workers have tried
to get to. them before. another day
ends.
Rivers Falling Slowly
Although most Of the rivers are fall.
ing slowly, communication still are in
terrupted and only sparse information
is available from outlying districts.
Scores Of villages which have been all
but swept away by the swollen Tarn,
Agout, Garonne and their tributaries,
still r unreported. Opinion was ex-
pressed the number Of known dead
would be increased when these areas
have been checked.
For miles and miles the country
looks much like q submerged battle
field. Thousands have lost their all.
One old woman, pointing to q heap Of
crumbling stones. told Georges Pernot,
minister Of public works:
There, Sir. that was my house. I
have nothing left in the world, not
even a p~etticoat, not q flower. not q
chair in which to sleep upright"
Dixie Breaks Kills $50
The Montauban and Moissac ares
suffered most. In Moissac the swol-
len Tarn broke through q dixie and
took $50 lives. Five hundred houses
were destroyed and 1000 persons left
homeless. Reynies, q village Of 500
inhabitants. was virtually destroyed;
IL were killed. There were three dead
at Albias, and two dead at st. An
tonin.
Rescuers, reaching villemur. on tho
River Gout, found $50 houses In ruins.
Six Of the towns dead have been
identified. Most Of its 5000 inhabi-
tants are homeless although q huge
shed IS being constructed under which
they may seek shelter. They have no
food at present but q consignment Of
provisions Is on its way from Montau-
ban.
In the important wine making re-
giors tho receding waters have left a
thick brown slime over the soil. and
1t IS feared the effects on the vine
will be disastrous. Material
losses were estimated today as prob
ably about l.0o0.00oyo0o francs (about
$l0,000,O00).

COLLIDE ANDCRASHINT0
 CABLE OFFICE
No One Is Injured and Property Damage Is
 Limited to $250

Two automobile trucks collided this forenoon at the intersection of Main and Front Streets, and both vehicles crashed into the United States cable office, smashing its windows and some of it's wooden structure. No one was seriously in- jured.
 AS an empty truck of the Stan dard Oil Company, driven by liar old Camper, was going north on Main Street, it was struck almost in the middle by a loaded gravel truck, owned and driven by Morris Tonsguard, going west on Front Street and about to turn south on Main Street. The oil truck was knocked over on its side and against the north corner of the cable office building. The gravel truck, keeping on it's wheels, sheered to the south of the oil truck and against the center and south part of the front of the cable office building.

Pieces of glass were showered over the interior of the office, but none of the five employees at work at the time was injured, nor were any of the instruments or furnishings damaged. The damage to the building, owned by the Pacific Coast Company is estimated at $250.

By FRANK I. WELLER GA. F. Farm Editor)

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 2l.-With the prospect of low prices forcing some 2OO,OOO,OoO bushels of wheat into livestock feed, depart ment of agriculture economists have prepared a chart to show farmers when it is cheaper to feed wheat than corn.
 The chart covers the ordinary price range of each grain, and at any market quotation it is possible to determine the relative economy of feeding corn or wheat.
 When corn is worth 80 cents and wheat 83, for example, wheat is the more economical feed for all livestock. When corn is worth 61 cents and wheat 10, corn is the more economical.
 However, when corn is worth 85 cents and wheat 93, it is cheaper to feed wheat to hogs and beef cattle and corn to sheep and poul- try.
 In some corn belt localities wheat has been selling lower than corn.
 For hogs, a bushel of wheat when ground seems to have a feeding value from 10 to 20 per cent great CT than bushel of corn. It is all most as necessary to supplement it with tankage and other high pro- tein feeds as it is to supplement corn.
 The cost of grinding always is figured into the price at which wheat is the cheaper feed Wheat must be ground for best results and since costs vary it is largely a mat ter for the individual farmer to de- termine when ground wheat is available to him at a price suffi- ciently below corn.
 With wheat at it's present price, it is considered a desirable feed for poultry, both as a whole grain in scratch mixtures and in ground form mixed with mash. Fed alone, however, it does not give the best results but should be mixed with corn.
 Wheat also may take the place of corn in the ration for dairy cows. It is figured that bushel of |, wheat is about equal in feeding value to a bushel of corn. In cases where the farm value of corn is only slightly less than that of wheat and where the farmer has surplus wheat but does not have corn, it might pay him to feed wheat and save hauling charges.
 When fed to horses wheat should be ground or, preferably, rolled and must be mixed with other feeds be- cause of it's sticky qualities which are brought about in mastication and also because, if fed alone, it may cause digestive troubles.
 Five per cent less grain is re- quired when wheat is fed to hogs, and when corn is 70 cents bush
