Sidney. ——————— Three-Year-Old Hay In a recent speech, the agricultural minister of one of the Canadian provinces remarked that his mother had told him “cows do not like hay ture than he was, This thought was echoed by a Slope rancher he remarked that the farmers of North Dakota and the state itself would be much better off if there never had been any government feed and seed loans. This man’s father first came to North Da- kota in the sixties and settled on a ranch in the seventies. His sons draw a sharp distinction tion being that the former are somehow supe- their way of doing business. The rule, in the old days, so the rancher tells the story, was to always keep two years of seed on hand. The extra seed carried over from one year was not disposed of until after the next crop was in the shock. With this kind of fore- not need to have borrowed for seed this year crop failure. The situation was all the more lamentable, he remarked, in view of the pitiful prices for all farm products in 1938, the year when the extra supply of seed for emergency use in 1935 would have been put away under the old system. The same thing is true of hay. Despite the shortage of last year, some ranchers in North Dakota carried sizable herds through without either borrowing or buying hay. They had either hay or straw carried over from other years which served in the emergency. Despite our shriveled grain, North Dakota will have an abundance of straw this year. The probability is that farmers will save it. The lessons. of last year were too bitter to be for- gotten quickly. Many of our farmers had bitter thoughts last winter when, as they paid $11 a ton for straw, they remembered the fine straw- stacks they had themselves sent up in smoke. There is no question that the last few years will serve to make better farmers of those with ability to learn. It is not at all improbable that our cows will get used to eating three-year-old hay, with two years held in reserve; that more farmers will make provision for their seed needs and not merely on a season-to-season basis. It is not the purpose of this editorial to criticise or to even agree that ranchers are en- titled.to the distinction they make for them- selves. They have squalled as loud as anyone under the pressure of recent years. But the legeons of the pioneers are worth learning. Practices which prevailed when a man had to take care of himself or go under may be worth reviving. It is true that creditors have often insisted that the farmer sell everything he had to pay his bills, regarded a two-year seed supply as an extravagance and thought it a waste of time and energy to put up more than enough hay for current needs. But creditors, too, have had their lesson. It should be a good deal easier in the future for the farmers to obtain their agree- ment that a forehanded policy is justified.

Awaiting the Verdict of Garner Acts to Halt Killing of Bills in Conference . .. How Foes of Legislation Do This Little Trick .. What's Happening to Some of “Must” Legislation in Washington, Aug. 8—Congress has a quaint way of passing bills and then sending them into conference in Lately this practice has been confined to the house. Vice President Garner, staunch supporter of the admin- istration, decided he wouldn’t appoint any more senate conferees who weren't in sympathy with the bill on Selecting five conferees to meet with the senate group on the holding company bill, Speaker Joe Byrns included two Republican congressmen who had voted against the bill—Holmes of Massachusetts and Cooper Then when George Huddleston of Alabama, Demo- cratic house conferee, objected to the presence as sen- ate counsel of the two lawyers who drafted the bill—Ben Cohen of the National Power Policy Committee and Dozier De Vane of the Federal Power Commission—he was able to get the eager support of Holmes and Cooper, who didn’t care how long the bill was held up and would have been happy if it could have been stalled A lot of monkey business is sometimes perpetrated after a bill has “gone to conference.” Since a large gob of the Roosevelt program and some of its most con- troversial points have lately been before conference com- mittees—including the utilities, banking, and economic security measures, as well as the TVA and AAA amend- ments—it is a good idea to have in mind just what Conferees are appointed to reconcile differences in more or less similar bills which have been passed by both senate and house. The vice president and the speaker appoint either three or five conferees each and it doesn’t make much difference how many, as an agree- ment requires signatures of a majority of each group. Agreements are usually a compromise in which the senate recedes on certain points and the house on others. The agreements are usually promptly ratified in each body, whereupon the bill goes to the White House for Conferees are not supposed to add new provisions to the measure, but sometimes do, as when, two or three 4 years ago—thanks to “power trust” lobbyists—conferees less than three years old.” To that fact he|shifted a 3 per cent electricity tax from power com- added the remark that his mother would have made a much better commissioner of agricul- If there’s no agreement, the bill just dies.

Not all nose and throat specialists, but the brass boys; doctors who launch them- selves as specialists from the day they receive a license to practice; so bright that they require no years of experience in general practice to fit them for their chosen specialty. Brass specialism is a swell racket. The A.M.A. and the American College of Surgeons foster and promote it. The brass special- There are @ lot of morons in America, you know, and they like to be at- tended exclusively by specialists. ac ‘The alleged “dangers” and insufficiencies of diathermy (electro-coaguia- tion) treatment of infected tonsils are hypothetical objections conjured up by brass specialists who know nothing about the method. : The mortality of surgical tonsillectomy in the hands of the best nose and throat specialists is scandalous, in view of the unassailable record that has been achieved by progressive physicians who use the diathermy method inthe treatment of infected tonsils.
