NLY eight senators out of 81 vot- ing opposed the passage in the senate of the administration's bill creating a reconstruction finance cor- poration that will ex- tend £2.000000000 credit to banks, insur ance companies, rail roads, mortgage loan companies, farm credit and other associations. A similar measure wns rushed rapidly through the house, and before the of the week President Hoover had the satis faction of signing the act embodying his most ambitious plan for the financial rehabilitation of the country, Debate of the measure in the sen- ate was chiefly over proposed amend ments, many of which offered and few were chosen. most im- portant amendment was pro- posed by Senator Ellison D, Smith of South Carolina. It S00 tion to the bill authorizing an appro priation of £30,000.000 for use by the secretary of agriculture to extend loans to small farmers. It stipulated further that the $45,000,000 now re maining in the drought relief fund should be applied to such loans During the discussion there were frequent and flerce attacks on the banking interests, especially those of the “international” varlety which are being questionable ods and ethics In the flotation of for elgn ities in the United The eight men who refused to vote for the hill were all from the western states, ka, Brookhart of lowa, and Blaine of Wisconsin, all “progressive” Repub.

For In stance, it was brought out that Sec retary of State Stimson and Francis White, assistant Secretary, took an active part in ironing out an alleged misunderstanding between the Colom- bian government and a syndicate head- ed by the National City company, which early in 1931 temporarily with. held a payment of $4.000,000 on a £20,000,000 credit arrangement. Also, Oliver C. Townsend, formerly com- mercial attache in Peru, said he was severely reprimanded for making a pessimistic reports on the financial status of Peru when that country was trying to flout a large loan in the United States. jncreasing TEARLY ninety-one years old and growing feeble physically, Oliver Wendell Holmes voluntarily brought to an end his service of thirty years as as associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The § venerable and beloved | jurist sent his resigna- tion to President Hoo- ver, who reluctantly accepted it, writing: “1 know of no Ameri can retiring from pub- lie service with such a sense of affection and devotion of the whole people.” Only the day before Mr. Justice Holmes had rendered a decision with character. istic pithy phrasing, but his voice wav- ered and he had to be helped from the bench and into his automobile. So he penned his letter of resignation, clos- fing: *“The time has come, and 1 bow to the Inevitable” There were many suggestion for a successor to Justice Holmes, among them being: Newton D. Baker, Wil son's secretary of war; Curtis D, Wik bur, Coolidge secretary of the navy; William Dewitt Mitchell, Hoover's at- torney general; John W. Davis, 1924 Democratic Presidential eandidate; William 8.

But the general put an end to such speculation in just such a statement as might be expected from him, In it he sald: *I cherish for President Hoover the highest admira- tion and deepest affection. Any intl mation to the effect that in any pos sible way or under any possible con tingeney he will not have my loyal and entire support Is an insult to me, “I find both parties and all the peo ple standing behind a legislative pro- gram of reconstruction, which Is a common-sense program. It Is based upon an old-fashioned idea that our government should always raise the money to pay its expenditures and not borrow it. “As for President Hoover, whatever may be temporary political reactions —and they are unimportant in such times—he has made a record in Pres! dential Initiative and constructive ac complishment unparalleled in the eco nomic history of this nation or of any other.

E. Morris, extension live stock spe cialist, University farm, St. Paual. For pigs, the potatoes should be bolled, mixed with the grain and fed with other econcenirates. A protein supplement needs to be fed with this Experiments Indicate that It takes about 420 pounds of potatoes, fed afr potatoes, very low or harley. For the best results In swine feeding, the proportion of potatoes in the ration should not be greater than four pounds to one of concentrates, Potatoes are worth only about two thirds as much when fed raw as when cooked. Advises $2 Margin A margin of £2 per hundredweight will allow the cattle feeder a reason at present feed prices, gays Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the Nebraska College of Agriculture. This would mean that the feeder who purchases his stock at £6 per hundred should have a selling price of 88 per hundred when his eat. tle are ready for market. The £2 margin applies to cattle of the bhbtter grades. On the lower grades of cattle it is wise to have a sider margin, probably about £3 per hundred will allow the eattle Teeder a profit, In the opinion of Professor Gramlich. The foregoing statements were made with present feed prices in mind.-~Nebraska Farmer, Alfalfa for Work Horses One can feed a reasonable quality or grade of alfalfa hay to work horses quite successfully. It would be desir able If you could vse only about one feed of alfalfa hay per day and one feed of timothy or prairie hay for the horses, - With feed prices ns they are, it would take a good quality of corn silage to have a feeding valaoe of $4 per ton.
