STAY IN OPERATION

Will Favor Dry Land Farm
ing Appropriation

sentative lemke (Rep, n. D) We'd
nesday predicted = determined fight
would be made on the floor Of the
house to restore to the agricultural
appropriation bill sum sufficient to
maintain the dry-farning expert
ment stations In IL northern and
states.
Lemke said he understood the ag-
ricultural subcommittee would rec
ommend an appropriation for the
stations and predicted the chances
were good the entire appropriations
committee would favor It.
The director OF the budget elimi-
mated from his recommendation to
congress the 100000 allocated to ex-
perimental work In arid regions Of
the west. Many Of the stations are
operated In cooperation with the
states and protests Immediately be-
gan to pour into congressional Of
fices. AS a result SO representatives
and n senators signed a petition ap-

the appropriation.
Lemke said Budget Director Lew
Douglas had written him he felt the
experimental work which had been
carried on during the q years Of the
stations existence would not be de-
stroyed by suspension for one year.
Mr.. Douglas said the farmers al
ready have gained sufficient knowl-
edge Of dry land farming" Lemke
declared, but apparently he forgeta
knowledge. Is = relative thing and
continues to accumulate with time" !"
Lemke is particularly concerned
about the fate Of the station at Man
dan, N. D., for the support Of which
he said, the last congress granted
$4,000.

bill.
Needing only a majority vote, Demo-
cratic leaders In the house forced

hours debate on what some called the
gag rule was provided.
On the bill itself the plan was to
allow l6 hours debate, bringing 1t to q

on the income tax brackets.
There were early indications that
Representative Crowther (Rep. N, "

The revenue bill would reduce taxes

Purpose in Area

st. Paul, Feb. 14.-(F)-More than
$50 900, 900 Is still available for loans

ers at Is cents bushel, on corn In

gram Is progressing and make sure
that q loan Is available for every

to cooperate in getting corn loan
money into the hands Of farmers and

tion Is that the government will loan

Of its producer. II corn rises above
IS cents, the producer can sell 1t any
time up to Aug. !, 1894, pay his loan
to the Commodity Credit Corporation

IT corn does not 60 above IS cents,
ell the grower has to do IS shell his
corn and deliver 1t to the nearest ele-
yator before August l, for account OF

sorbed by the government.

steadily giving ground before the
forces Of the government.
The government, In an official

At Linz soldiers patrolled the
streets, but there was no fighting.
Wednesdays fighting In Vienna was
directed against Socialists who had
retreated to their headquarters de-
spite stubborn resistance.
The total number Of dead In three
days Of civil war was estimated at be-
tween 1000 and $500. The wounded
number far into the thousands.
Numbered among the dead. It was
apparent, were many women and
children occupants Of apartment
houses destroyed by artillery fire.
A run started Wednesday on the
Central Savings Bank Of Vienna.
Police with fixed bayonets were called
to hold back panic-stricken depost-
tors.
Socialist women fought grimly
throughout the night beside their
anen against an overwhelming wave
Ct government troops.
wednesday, after q short lull, the
battle was resumed through streets
still Uttered with the dead.
The women fought like old pioneers
of the American prairies. A govern
ment trooD commander said they
helped carry munitions and reload
rifles Of their embattled husbands and
brothers who fought from the win
COWS Of their homes.
Their resistance was smashed by ar
!illery.

Socialists and the government con-
tinued serious throughout the nation.
but in the outlying regions the gov
