MAKE FORMAL PROTEST ONLY Progressive Senators Drop Threatened Fight. DID NOT GET THEIR SHARE! La Follette Reads Statement Criticis- ing Committee Assignments of the Insurgents and After a Brief Reply | by Chairman Gallinger the Selec- tlons Were Approved With but Few Negative Votes. ‘Washington, April 29.—The senate foermally organized for business by adopting the list of appointments to committees drawn up by the majority of both parties. The expected fight against the adop- tion of the lists threatened by the progressive Republicans did not de- velop, Senator La Follette contenting himself with reading a formal protest against the selections made by the regular Republicans. The La Follette statement, pre- pared at a conference of the thirteen progressives, Senator Kenyon, the new senator from Iowa, having joined the original twelve, set forth at some Jength the growth of the so called pro- gressive movement in the Republican party. It asserted that the progres- &lve Republicans entertain. marked and well defined differences of opin- fen from the regulars; that the pro- gressives now have more than one- fourth of the Republican membership Ia the senate and they have become @& “settled and established fact in po- Jtieal history.” The progressives, it was claimed, had a right to onefourth representa- tion on the various committees. The protest was directed especially against the finance committee, on ‘which, the “Insurgents” wished to place Senator Bristow, and the inter- mate commerce committee, on which Mr. La Follette desired a place. Reactionists in Control. Three of the nine Republicans on the interstate commerce committee, it was pointed out, were from New England and it was asserted that this committee had been left in the hands of persons not friendly to advanced legislation regarding the railroads and that the finance committee had been left in the control of “ultra high tar- iff Republicans.” ‘When Mr. La Follette had conclud- ed the progressive statement Senator Gallinger, chairman of the committee en committees, said he was quite con- tent to let the “insurgent” statement go before the country, together with the list of committees as framed. Mathematically, he declared, the “in- surgent” wing was entitled to 100 committee places. As a matter of fact they were given 114 places. “In the division of assignments,” he ' added, “the committee of committees believes it was acting equitably and Justly.” The committee list then was adopt- ed with only a few scattering “nues” from the insurgents. NO PARDON FOR CATTLEMEN President Refuses to Keep Rich Ne. braskans Out of Prison. ‘Washington, April 29.—-President Taft has refused to pardon Bartlett Richards, Williaum Comstock, Charles C. Jameson and Aquilla Triplett, four ‘wealthy Nebraska cattlemen, who have been convicted of conspiracy to defraud the goverument of grazing lands aloug the Wyoming border. The men are owners of the Nebras- ¥a Luna and Settlement company, with principal offices at Ellsworth, Neb.. The evidence at the trial showed that they had induced home- steaders fraudulently to claim thou- ®ands of acres of land, which were later turned over to the company for grazing. Richards and Comstock were sentenced to & year and Jameson and Triplett to six months. BRUGE FIGHTS FOREST FIRE and Aid From Qutsioe Save Town.

Cooper, Minne- 4 * sota University Farm. & L * OB R R R R R Many farmers find that the cost of horse labor may be materially de- creased by the use of brood mares on the farm. These may be bred annual- ly; and they can easily accomplish an average amount of labor, and at the some time raise a foal. The colts may be raised until four or five years of age, and then sold. The number of ‘yaged work-horses required upon the farm may be naturally decreased by this method, as the three and four- vear-old colts may be used in their place. By this means, depreciation is largely eliminated as an item in the cost, and the interest charges are lessened; for a three or four-year-old colt is increasing in value, and is sub- Jject to only the small charge of insur- ance or liability of death. About five horses are kept to do the work on the average 160 to 180-acre farm. If this method of handling the horses were adopted, three brood mares should be kept and bred annually. This would probably insure two colts each year. If the colts were retained until the fall or late summer of the fourth year (about the age and season at which they would bring top prices), and then sold, the two colts over three years and two over four years, with the three mares, could easily accom- plish the work that would be per- formed on the farm by the five horses ordinarily kept. This method is par- | | | i MARE AND FOAL. This mare is certainly paying for her keep even at night or rainy days. where the owner is his own teamster. On the farm which is operated without raising any foals, no profit is possible ifrcm the horse enterprise or “horse department;” tenance represents also the entire in- | come that could accrue from the horses. DBut, on the farm largely ope- rated by brood mares and colts, an ad- ditional source of income would be afforded. The cost of horse labor would not only be at a lower rate, but there would be the additional oppor- tunity of profit by the growing and sale of colts. | FLAX WILT. Will End Trouble: Flax wilt is caused by a mold-like fungus. The fungus threads attack the young seedlings, and may either | Kill it outright or merely stunt its growth. The fungus may live for a | number of years in the soil, on old flax straw, or on other decomposing material. It is for this reason that flax should not be sown on the same land more than once every five to seven years. The disease may also be carried on the seed. The reproduc- | [ | are scattered over the seed and re- main there during the winter. In the spring, even though the flax be sown i on unaffected land, the spores on the plants. There may be then two sources of infection, the soil and the seed. Danger of infection from the ] first source may be avoided by proper crop rotation and from the second by seed treatment. Seed flax should first be very thor- oughly fanned in order to get rid of all light seed, chaff, pieces of straw, etc. Then it should be spread out on a floor or canvas, which has been previously well washed with boiling water or | strong formalin solution. Spray the seed with formalin, used at the rate of one pound to forty gallons of wa- ter. It is necessary to use a com- pressed air sprayer, which will throw a fine, misty spray. While one man rakes or shovels the grain over, an- other should apply the spray, being sure to moisten every seed, without using too much of the liquid. The flax should then be covered for a couple of hours with previously- cleaned sacking or canvas. It should be shoveled over, apd may then be sown, If the seed is carefully treated, and is sown on land which has not grown flax for five to seven years, there should be no wilt. It is important to remember that untreated seed, grown on clean land, may produce a wilt-af- fected crop; and, in the same way, treated seed, sown on unclean land, may produce a diseased crop. There- fore great care should always be taken to get clean seed and sow it on clean land—E.' C.
