OLD STANDBYS
IN EVIDENCE

Thinking of that, your eye hunts
up some of the old standbys. Let it
rest on Carter Glass for a minute.
He is little. with a proud and COM
bative sort of face, and he could
not conceiSably have come from
anywhere but the south. He lives
in Virginia, and his spiritual home
must be some spot near that clump
of trees at Gettysburg where Pick
ett's charge reached its high-water
march. This is going to be a good
session for Carter Glass.
There is Hiram Johnson. on
whose face long years of political
battles have left their mark. He
sought the Republican nomination
for the presidency in 1920, lost it
to Harding, then turned down the
offer of the vice presidency which,
by quirk of fate, carried the man
who accepted it to the White House
after all. Does a man ever quite
forgive fate for playing trick
like that?
There is Senator Borah, who
fought as liberal while conserv-
stism was In power, saw liberalism
overtake and pass him, and now
seems as likely as not to get back
toward the front of the procession
again. Nearby is Senator Nye. who
has had much the same experience.
Not far away is the brand new
Ohio senator, Robert Taft, who is
marked man from the start be-
cause people are already discus
sing him as a possible presidential
nominee in 1910.

THE LOOK LIKE

A new conner here, by the way,
gets one ridiculous but inevitable
reaction out of his first visit to
the senate chamber: how much all
of these men look like their photo

something to a man - leaves an
indefinable but unmistakable mark
on his face. as a coin is marked by
much handling.
Sitting in the gallery. your eye
roams over the chamber, picking
out man after man like those just
mentioned. And although what is
actually happening is routine and
unexciting, the net effect is, to re-
peat, exciting.
For in these chambers great
things have been done. Great men
have sat at those desks and spoken
their minds under that ceiling. The
fates of empires, both figurative
and literal, have been decided here.
And here, after all is where the
worlds strongest and luckiest ma

the old, old way; the air of cocky
independence that pervades both
houses here is in way a symbol
of the Impotence with restraint
that is traditional to the republic.

Colombian Oil Concession
Rate Increase Forecast

Colombia's rate Of return on oil
concessions to foreign operators
twill have to be increased, but not
by appropriation" DR.. Daniel
Samper- -Ortega, counselor Of the
Colombian Embassy, said last night
at the Adult Forum at the Univer-
salist National Memorial Church.
"We will wait until the contracts
expire and at that time negotiate
new ones upon a fair basis" he
said.
DR.. Samper- -Ortega said that. so
far as he knew, Colombia never had
thought of expropriating oil rights
from the United States or other
foreign oil concerns, which export
nearly all of Colombia's oil.
Foreigners enjoy exactly the
same rights as nationals in this
respect" said DR.. Samper- Ortega,
land foreign concerns there are
quite safe. It is true that they are
paying very small amounts for their
concessions-in fact, are paying but
from per cent to per cent roy
atty upon the value Of their pro-
duction. This fact of contracts un-
favorable to the Colombian govern
ment does make conditions bad for
Colombia, but she would never
think Of breaking her word"
DR.. Samper- -Ortega also stressed
the democratic nature of his coun-
try, its current rapid development,
its literary achievements and its
progress in education during the
last eight years. He said: due to
its geographical situation in the
middle of the three Americas, to its
especial topography and to its po-
litical organization, Colombia is
developing with tremendous speed.
If there are true democracies in the
world, Colombia is one of them. A
country of thinkers and writer's.
where freedom of speaking and
writing is second to none, Colom-
bians have built up a nation where
reason, justice and peace are the
backbone Of national life"

Trial Shows Kuhn
Held Wide Authority
In bund Affairs
Declared Only
Official Permitted
To Withdraw Funds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13-Testimony
that Fritz Kuhn, leader of the Ger
man-American Bund, was the only
official permitted to withdraw funds
from a certain bank account Of the
bund was offered today at his trial
on charges of misusing $5,641 of
bund money.
Sections of the bund constitution
showing the virtually unlimited
authority vested in its "fuehrer"
also were read into the record.
The bank account was opened by
the bund in the Yorktown branch df
the Manufacturers Trust Co. in
May. 1887, when the organizations
national headquarters were moved
from Detroit to New York.
Through Sebastian Distiler, chief
clerk of the bank branch. Assist
ant District Attorney Herman j.
Mccarthy got into evidence a copy
Of bund resolution filed with the
bank in opening the account as an
unincorporated organization.
Joint Responsibility.
The constitution provided, how
ever, that the bund president and
the national treasurer were jointly
responsible for the disbursement Of
all funds.
Opening of the trials third day
before General Sessions Judge
James j. Wallace and a jury was
delayed while the court imposed the
death sentence on a young colored
man convicted of participating in
a murder.
Kuhn, wearing gray business
suit, sat impassively at the counsel
table during the reading from the
Bund constitution, which provided
that its leader was to exercise gen.
eral supervision" Of its affairs.
The constitution gave Kuhn power
to interpret all laws relating to the
Bund and to decide all controversies,
subject only to reversal by the or
ganization's National Arbitration
Board.
Bund Principles Outlined.
Among the Bunds purposes, as
stated in its constitution, were "to
uphold the laws OF the United
States, respect the flag and institu-
tions of the United States, promote
goodwill, lasting friendship and ben
eficial relations between the United
States and Germany, to defend the
mother country Germany against
base defamation, willful lies and
poisonous malice made through ig-
norance or malice and to combat
German propaganda.

M0LASSES ENS|LAGE IS LATEST
IMPORTANT DEVEL 0PMENT IN FARMING

moisture content of the crop
is very desirable in making mo-
laSSeS Silage. Dry material is not
satisfactory unless much water
is added, and such material has
already lost much of its orig
inal feed value during the de-
Migrating, or drying, process in
the field. It is a fact that more
than Is per cent of the feeding
value of grass is lost in the
customary way of making hay
even under the most favorable
weather conditions. In rainy
weather this loss frequently
reaches so per cent and some
times more. In making molasses
silage from the freshly cut
green crop there is no such loss,
rain or shine.
Second, because the green
crop is much heavier than de-
hydrated hay Ia field of alf-
alta producing 2 10 tons of
cured hay will yield 10 tons
of silage), the green material
is much heavier to handle. It
should therefore not be
trampled during the loading op-
GRAFTON. A rack with sides
should be permitted to fill at
the rear, and when level with
the loader, the oncoming ma
terial should be pulled for
ward in inclining layers. The
untrampled, forward part of the
load can thereupon be unload
ed first at the silo with little
difficulty. The idea of building a
high, well-balanced, neat-ap-
pearing load as with dehydrated
or cured hay can be discarded
in the molasses silage method
because a SiZable load in weight
accumulateS much faster and in
a smaller area.
Third, a word about applying
the preservative. For best re-
suits mOlaSSeS should be ap-
piled in proper quantities by a
pressure pump system such as
is available with the modern
hay chopper. It is also import
ant that the pump deliver the
molasSes to the crop at the
right point in the operation
namely, just as the crop enters
the cutting mechanism of the
chopper. Moreover, the pump
should be automatically con-
trolled so that the flow of pre-
sentative starts Immediately
when needed and shuts off
when the machine is empty.
Should the pump continue to
feed mOlasSes into the chopper
when the machine is running
empty, serious clogging would
likely result later. The design
ing engineers have solved this
problem of an automatically
controlled pump.
The preservative should be
applied as follows: 40 pounds
to the ton for grasses and Ger
calls, go pounds to the ton for
mixed grasses and legumes, 80
pounds to the ton for alfalfa
and clovers, and 100 pounds to
the ton of soybeans.

Assistant Branch Manager

Company

One of the most important
recent developments in farming
is molasses silage made from
grasses, legumeS, and grains,
One hears much discussion on
this question in farm circles,
and invariably these questions
occur:
What is molasses silage? How
is it made? What are it's ad-
vantages? What results are ob-
tanned from its use?
What is Molasses Silage?
Molasses silage is any chopped
grass, legume, or cerial or any
combination of these crops en-
SLED with molasses as a preser-
vative. The crop, or crops, suit
able include alfalfa, soybeans,
clovers, cow-peas, and vetcn
among the legumes; among the
grasses, blue, prairie, timothy,
orchard, quack, millet, and su-
dan; and among the cereals,
oats, rye, barley, and wheat,
Often various combinations OF
these are used. The molaSSeS is
of the inexpensive blackstrap
variety-cane or beet molasses.
The reason for its use is to pro-
vide the proper fermentation.
Without this ingredient, such
Silage would tend to decay and
become worthless as feed.
How Is It Made?
MolaSses silage is commonly
made by a three-Step method.
First the corp is cut in an ear
" stage with Windrower-
equipped mower that lays the
mown hay In a windrow. The
use of the windrower attach
ment eliminates the necessity
of a separate raking operation.
Second, the green material is
loaded Immediately on the rack,
wagon, or truck by means of a
green crop loader. Green crop
leaders are especially designed
to handle heavy green crops.
Ordinary hay leaders are apt
to cause considerable trouble
when used in loading green
crops, because they have been
primarily designed for hand
ling dehydrated (cured) hay,
which weighs about one-fourth
as much as the green crop.
Third, the green material IS
hauled to the silo and put
through a hay chopper equipped
with molasses distribution SyS-
tenn. Once the crop lands on
the especially designed feed
table of the modern hay chop
per, the whole operation of sup
plying molasses, chopping, and
elevating into the silo is auto
matic, safe and economical.
There are several points wor-
thy of special mention. In the
first place, it has been found
desirable to cut only such am
cunts of the crop as can be
handled in the same half day,
the reason being that a high
