After the girl. Matte Turley. plead
ed guilty to charge Of attempted
murder. County Attorney J. Smith
Gibbons recommended she be sent to

The mother, Mrs. Dorothea Irene

FARM LEADERS MAY
ASK HUGE sum FOR
LIVESTOCK GROWERS
Propose $500, 900, 900 Fund to
Finance Production Con.
troll for Industry

washington, Dec. 22.-(R)-Farm
leaders meeting Friday with secre-
tary Wallace considered asking con-
gress for = $2o0,O000o0 fund to IL
nance production control for the
dairy and beef cattle industries.
Wallace Friday telegraphed mem.
bers Of the senate and house agri-
cultural committees, governors Of
leading dairy and beet cattle produce
ing states and other members Of con.
gress for their opinion Of the pro-
posal.
He declared an acute dairy and
beef price situation requires irnmedi-
ate action and said the farm leaders
proposed the 5000, O00, 900 fund to sup
plement receipts from processing
taxes to finance the production adj
justment plan.
This proposal would require amend
ing the farm act to make beef basic
commodity.
AS In the case Of cotton, wheat,
corn, hogs and tobacco, Wallace said,
the dairy and beef plan would call
for benefit payments to farmers In
return for their cooperation In re-
ducing production to eliminate sur
pluses which have been burdening
the market and causing chaotic con-
ditionS.
Wallace and Chester G. Davis, farm
administrator, emphasized that So
luton Of the dairy problems can come
only from an increase in consumer
purchasing power or from restriction
Of production.
The proposed plan, they said, would
help to carry dairy producers over
the period when demand for their
products lags behind prices Of things
they buy.

Industries Loan to
State Bank Is Asked

Washington, Dec. 22.-tR)-North
Dakota's application for S., 900, 900 fed
eral funds to finance q state owned
industrial program will take the form
OF request for loan to the Bank
of North Dakota with the proposed in
dustries pledged as securities, it was
said Friday by A. G. Townley. author
Of the plan.
Townley made the announcement
after he and u. 8. Senator L. J. Fraz-
Ter Of North Dakota conferred with
Oscar Chapman, assistant secretary
Of the interior.
Townley said the application would
be drawn soon, but probably not until
after he returned to North Dakota.
The interest rate on the public works
loans Is generally four per cent but
Townley predicted the North Dakota
loan would be obtained for less.
Application for loans ordinarily are
submitted first to the state public
works boards, but Townley said this
request probably would be forwarded
direct to Washington. He did not ex-
plain why this procedure would be
followed but from another source It
Was suggested that the state board ID
considered BY supporters Of the plan
- unfriendly to the Townley program.

SILVER PURCHASES
Seen AS means TO
COMMODITY DOLLAR
Experts, However, Are IN Sharp
Disagreement on Details
Of Proposal

Washington. Dec. 22.-(R)-Addition
OF silver to the money base, primary
result Of the presidents project to
buy the nations silver production, Is
seen by experts who have advised on
the current gold policy, as a means Of
attaining the dollar Of constant pur-
chasing power advocated by the presi-
dent.
The more immediate and obvious
effects Of silver purchases will be to
add some $4,000, 900 in silver to the
$40, 100000 now In circulation and.
many economists agree, to stimulate
temporarily, at least. commodity and
security prices.
Beyond these two consequences ex-
perts find themselves in conflict on
almost every point.
The argument ranges from abso-
lutte denial that silver reconciliation
will affect prices for more than q few
days to the statements of men such
as Prot. q. F. Warren, one Of the ma
jor influences back of present money
policies, that by altering silver along
with gold prices any desired commodi-
ty price level may be attained.
Book Tells About It
Warren's ideas, as stated IN his book
Prices" envisage the use Of silver as
money with gold, and the varying of
the relations between them SO as to
provide more stable money based
on two precious metals instead of one.
Whether or not the president has
such q plan In view, 1t was pointed
out that his proclamation carefully
preserves the right to modify the
present legal ratio between gold and
silver.
BY law, it takes about 16 silver dol
lars to buy one gold dollar. In fact
however, it would take about 50 ounces
Of silver to buy one ounce Of gold. The
price Of silver on the new government
market at 645 cents an ounce Is but
one -fiftieth Of the governments $34
gold price.
That the direct addition Of $l5..
900 900 to the circulating medium ir
one year, which would result from th<
present plan. would have q negligible
effect on prices Is generally agreed
Further general acceptance is founc
for the idea that silver and othel
miners will benefit considerably, max
ing q direct profit Of about 5000 .00(
on the rise IN price.

Poultry depend upon their FEED .
q source Of heat and 1t Is the grain
portion of the ration that supplies the
carbohydrates and fats and are turned
into body heat, Goodearl explains.
Nearly all farm-raised grains can
be used in feeding the hens, but corn
is the most efficient in supplying heat.
The amount Of grain that . group
Of hens will consume varies, but where
the grain is fed In the litter it Is gen.
orally recommended that IL to i
pounds Of scratch grain per 100 hens
be fed daily. It Is essential that ~
birds go to roost with fun crops.
Therefore, usually two-thirds OF the
daily ration of scratch grain IS fed
late in the afternoon: the other one
third can be thrown into the litter
In the morning.
During recent years some poultry.
men have followed the practice OF
hopper feeding grain as well as mash

Encouraging Barometer

Figures on shipping through the
Sault Ste. Marie canal during the last
year provide new evidence that busi-
ness is recovering.
This canal. connecting Lake SUI
perior with the lower lakes, Is closed
for the season now. And 1t is reveal
ed that during 1888 more traffic pass
ed through It than in any Of the last
three years. total, to be exact, Of
slightly more than 100000 tons Of
freight.
An interesting angle to this is the
fact that nearly all this freight con-
sisted Of bulk commodities-iron, ore,
coal and grain.
The business done at the $780,
canal Is = pretty fair barometer of
general business conditions. On the
basis Of 1888 figures, we are justified
In believing that the long-awaited up
turn Is under way.
