URGES PASSAGE OF
MARKETING BILL
Mr. Tillman Also Replies to
Charges That Measure is
Class Legislation
Washington, May 4.—The
stcry of an Arkansas farmer
who sold two calf hides for
98 cents and then was charg
ed 10 cents for a piece of
lacing leather a half inch wide
was read into the record to
day by Representative Tillman
of Arkansas during a speech
in support of the; farmer co
operative marketing bill.
Mr. Tillman also took occa
sion to reply to Representative
Walsh of Massachusetts, who
had characterized the bill as
class legislation.
“Since when did statesmen
from New England become
frightened at class legisla
tion?” he asked. “A vast
moneyed aristocracy has
grown up in that exclusiv1
and cultured section because
cf class legislation, hut be it
understood that the New En
gland idea of class legislation
always has been to extend
special and profitable tariff
protection to her citizenry en
gaged in manufacturing clo
thing, shoes and a thousand
other necessary articles and
fet the consumer cf those pro
ducts and the farmer go ban
Mr. Tillman declared that
it was the favored section of
New England that manufac
tured the piece cf lacing string
which cost the farmer as much
as an entire calf hide, and to
which he had to pay tribute
when he went to purcha
new harness or a saddle.

Now is the time to preserv*
j your eggs for winter use,
They are selling at a very lew
price now and may be pre
sei ved at a cost of from tw
to three cents per dozen. Tr
preserve 15 dozen eggs
! Clean and scald a five gallor
crock, put in nine quarts o‘
water that has been boiled
and cooled, add 1 quart ol
water glass and stir the mix
ture thoroghly. Place the
eggs in this solution allowing
at least twe inches of the so
lution to cover the eggs at all
times. Place the crock in a
cool, dry place, well covered
to prevent evaporation. When
fresh, clean eggs are preserv
ed by this method,they maybe
kept from 8 to 12 months in
excellent condition and used
with good results.
Good egg production is
largely dependent on properly
balanced egg-laying ration.
You cannot get the best re
sults from your hens if they
are not properly fed. For the
maximum results, the hens
must have animal protein.
This may be had in the form
( f meat scraps skimmed milk
or buttermilk. If milk is
used, the hens should have all
they will drink. The follow
ing is a ration that should in
crease egg production:
3 lbs. corn meal. 2 lbs crack
ed corn, 1 lb. meat scraps, 1
lb. cats, milk may be substi
tuted for the meat sciaps.
The wealth of Indepen
dence County is in its agricul
ture, and to keep it we must
increase our production by
improving the soil fertilit
This may be done by proper
drainage, deeper and betti v
plowing, adding humus by
liberal application of barn
yard manure, and growing le
gumes tc be turned under, and
by the use of high grade com
mercial fertilizers. The best
results from commercial fer
tilizer may be expected where
the farmer practices deep
plowing and where he adds
humus to the soil by turning
under legumes or applying
manure. On soil that pro
duces plenty of stalk with
poor fruiting, the application
of 200 to 300 lbs of 16 pel
cent add phosphate per acre
is recommended. For the av
erage soils of this county
probably the best fertilize!
for cotton and corn is twe
parts acid phosphate to one
part cotton seed meal appliec
at the rate of 200 to 300 lbs
per acre.
You should not expect tc
get the maximum milk pro
duct ion from your cows il
you are not feeding then
some grain to supplement th<
pasture.* The cow shoulc
have about one pound o:
grain to each three pints o1
milk produced. A good rule
is to feed the cow all she wil
respond to in milk production
and when she begins to pu
on flesh cut down the grain.
Within the next few week;
the Farm Bureau will start
drive for members and foi
membership in a cotton mark
cling association. This is th<
biggest thing in the way o
cooperative marketing asso
ciation that has ever been at
tempted in the south. Th»
drive will Iasi for three weeks
and representatives of th<
Farm Bureau will go int<
each school district and hob
meetings and explain the de
tails of the eottc n association
