Water Plants Use
As Fodder Aduised
In Drought area
Scientists Finds Common
Vegetation Highly
Nutritious.

MINNEAPOLIS, December IA
Bathing suits may supplant overalls
among farmers on our Midwestern
farms in the near future, if discoveries
recently made by Ross Aiken Gortner
of the University of Minnesota, are
needed by agricultural authorities.
The shortage of forage for cattle in
the drought areas, Gortner says IN
the current issue Of Science led
him to investigate the nutritive quail
ties of the weeds on lake bottoms in
Minnesota and he found that these
water plants would not only be a
suitable substitute for fodder, but
were, in most cases, more nourishing
than land plants.
In studying % varieties of water
plants, Gortner learned, for example,
that the common yellow pond lily
that children collect from row boats
on picnics, contains more than II per
cent of proteins and only 1875 per
cent of crude fiber, while corn fodder
contains only half as much of the
nutrient proteins and more than twice
as much of the undigestible fibers.
Gortner observed that many lakes
in a drought became shallow, and
large areas of them literally choked
with masses of lake vegetation, show
ing that whereas a drought kills the
forage on land it actually increases
the yield of the lake beds.

GREATER SPENDING.
BY BUSINESS SEEM
Moffett, Conducting Survey,
Seeks to Support His
Optimism.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December flames
A. Mofett, Federal housing admin
istrator, expressed the hope last night
that a Nationwide survey he is con-
ducting will show that business gen.
orally will expend in 1885 apprcxi-
mately Is per cent more than it did
this year for modernization and re-
placement.
His optimism, he said. was based
on reports from three key" indus
tries-the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey and the automobile indus
try.
that Replacement and moderniza-
ton" expenditures of the A. T. & T.
would be approximately S200,O00,000,
the Standard Oil Co. between $780,
100000 and S70,oOOOOO and one
branch of the automobile industry
$40,00O,0 coo.
Is Per Cent Increase Seen.
Moffett said these reports, bulked,
would show an increase of expendi-
lures for these purposes of about is
per cent.
The housing administrator eX-
pressed the belief that when other
industries are heard from the increase
would at least be maintained at Is
per cent and possibly be exceeded.
He estimated that in the near fu-
ture industry would expend a half
billion dollars. However, he was not
prepared to estimate how far this
would exceed modernization and re-
placement expenditures in 1884.
Moffett, who said the housing
building program is creating a year.
around market in building supplies
and allied trades, asserted that new
business was being developed at the
rate of S2,OOO,O0O to S2,5OO,OOO a day.
Enthusiasm Chilled.
But Wall Street financial experts
dashed cold water on enthusiastic re-
ports of heavy expenditures by lead
ing corporations.
1t was pointed out that A. T. g. T.
records show that in the past five
years a yearly average of 1895 900 600
has been spent on extending and
modern1zing the system. It was said
that in addition to the 5000, 1000 900
figure quoted by Moffett, the COM
pany also had tentative budget of
$180,0O0,0o0.

That very day her father, Henry

for him to return with his State papers

a cousin of Caleb Bentley's wife, SO this
may have been the reason for Presi-

Previous to this, Mr.. Ingle had been
the victim Of one of the British orders
