BY VOT1-: OF 2SA TO 81 IIIl-L OOMrl TO SF.NATF. IN AI.MOST ORKi I N \ I. FORM. Washington, Sept. 18.?The com? plete revision of American hanking and currency methods proposed in the Democratic currency bill was started on Ita way to the statute books today, By a vote of 286 to 8 4, the house pass? ed the bill In almost the form In which it originally was proposed. Twenty-four Republicans voted for the bill and three Democrats voted against It. A llnal fight on an amend? ment reaffirming the present f nan clal policy of a gold money stadt.rd caused some defections from the Dem? ocratic side. The three Democrats who voted against the bill were: Representatives Calloway, Texas; Wltherspoon, Mis? sissippi, and Elder, Louisiana. The Repubih ans voting for it were: Kepresen'.atlves Baltz, Browne, Cary, Cooper, Cramton, Dillon, Esch. Farr. Fuss, Frear, Haughen, Pelgen sen. Kent. Lenroot. Mapes, LindquU\t, McLaughllr, Nelson, Porter, Samuel Smith ami J. M. C. Smith of Michi? gan. Smith of Minnesota, Stafford, Young of North Dakota. The Progressive vote split, twH> Progressives, Representatives Temple and Waters of Pennslyvanla voting against the bill. Fourteen others voted for it. They were: Representa? tives Bell, California, Hlnebaugh, Woodruff of Michigan. Kelly of Penn? sylvania, Lafferty, McDonald, Mana han, Munlock, Nolan, Norton, Rupley, Thomson of Illinois, Stephens of Cal? ifornia and Lindbergh. With this overwhelming house ma? jority and the indorsement of Presi? dent Wilson behind It, the measure was sent over to the senate. There It was referred to the banking and currency committee, where hearings already are In progress. The commit? tee may not be ready to report for several weeks. Th ? measure wct.ld eliminate the present American bank note system under which banks Issue currency against government bonds, and estab? lish a currency issued by 12 federal reserve banks, based on sound com? mercial paper, which the government assumes the responsibility of redeem? ing. It would place virtually every phase of banking under the control of n '"*'"-al reservo board of seven members appointed by the president and ? <"U'-cll of banker*, which would ha advisory powers. The sys be adml tistered through reserve banks In 12 geographical divi? sions, each capltallied at about $5, 000.000, which capital is to be Ml* scribed by bank" in the reserve dln trict. At the 11th hour the house wrote into the bill a disclaimer of any intention to alt- r the gold money standard fixed by law. Ten days of earnest consideration in the house failed to alter the bill In any material particular and it passed virtually as drawn by Representative Olaas of Virginia, chairman of the house banking and currency commY - tee, sfter conferences with Senator Owen, chairman of the senate com? mittee; Secretary McAdjo of the treasury department and the pres - dent. Throughout the debate Republ!car>s and Progressives vigorously de? nounced the methods employed in framing the bill and in perfecting l.s details In caucus. The Democratic lines held tlrm. snd no minority smendments were adopted. On flnul passage but three Democrats voted against the bill. Sentiment regarding the measure him not crystallsed in the senate. The senate committee is hearing Interested < miens from all parts of the country ? ?n the principles of the bill. The hearing may continue for several dsys. The committee Itself is ex? ported to take we? ks in the dlscus slon of the measure, although the ad ministration hrtpej to for*sj the tenets to make an earls report to the floor, where further exit ruled debate is looked f >r.

"Then instead of being reserves to which the whole country could go for money, they really would be elements of weakness in the system?" sug? gested Senator Heed. ? I think that is so," said Mr. Berry. Vetch and Oats. I have been advocating and have i Induced several lo try it. with success i for several years, and this year I am glad to say the results have been fine, therefore I do not think it amiss to give some directions gained from ; observation and experience. The better you prepare a seed bed ? for any crop the better the crop, therefore if your land is not Plenti- j fully supplied with humus, such as grass, weeds, p-?a vines or stubble, supply it with all you can get in the way of stable manure, wood Takings, etc Do not use commercial fertilizers,' you do not nee:i the ammonia and the phosphoric i.eid is rock dissolved with sulphuric acid, which is surely injurious to and will destroy the bac? teria on the vet' h roots. Muriate of potash can be used and will be bene? ficial. After this plow all in. if the land is very stiff it will be better to follow the turn plow with a bull tongue plow, to obtain moisture later1 on. After this has been done, not before, broadcast lime, shell lime preferred, if the land is sour 1000 pounds pat acre especially if the land AbOttndl in humus. By putting tlH NlM after the plowing and har? rowing it in you run no risk, as the lime works downward always, and nothing can SBC ape. I,et this remain about fifteen or twenty or even thirty SOJWj then harrow again, until you n?-t a nice, clean seed bod, l'sc two bushels of oats per acre (not more) and twenly pounds of winter hairy vetch. Inoculate fOUf VOtch seed nc cvordlng to directions OK packages, use (lean water. * lean vessels and' I lean bands.' so gfl to avoid getting] Injurious germs; use < are in covering as fast gl pOggtbU ?0 gl to gVOld the sun's fays from hurting fhe germs. Rarly in tbe morning Of late in tb?> evening or a rtoudy day is best, but In the tall of the year Of winter there is not much danger, especially in ? froahl) harrowed seed bod and cov? ering with n hai r? w* You will notice that your chle' care must be with these germs. Why? Because they are the workers who draw nitrogen from the air to supply ammonia to the vetch, the ^ oats and the succeeding crops, for how long a time or how many crops I am not able to say from experience M yet. except this year it is highly j noticeable In the corn after vetch and oats. Now the reason I say shell lime is \ because it is free of earthy mat-! ter, hence of all foreign germs. It I absolutely obliterates for years all j acidity in the soil, while other limes simply absorb it for u time. It is free from magnesia, which is not good for any leguminous plant". Another care Is the right bacteria for the right plant. Each crop has a different germ. lted clover, crimson clover, mam? moth clover, white clover, yellow clov? er, Rackhara clover, Field beans, garden beans, soy beans, field peas, garden peas, sweet peas, hairy vetch, sand vetch, sain foin, Alsike clov ef, alfalfa, horse beans, cow peas, bird's foot, all kind of Lupins. Kach one of the above mentioned needs a separate and distinct germ, therefore the legume which we are I writing of must have its germ; not| even th,e germ from sand vetch or spring vetch, will do any good for winter hairy vetch, and although al? falfa is a clover, it would be useless to use any other clover germs wdth it. Some have argued that as nature provides germs if you make the soil rich enough you will have a plenty without inoculation. Do not believe this. 1 have tried it, in moderately new ground. I can show any one, peas (not inoculated) with germs oil them naturally, in an adjoining ground made very rich, peas same kind, planted same time have not one nodule, but plain white long roots and the vines unhealthy and dying* In conclusion I Will say I hope this win be of benefit to some reader, and enable the farmers of our county to buy less bay. com, or nitrate of soda, but use it from natures ware? house, the atmosphere, Tbos. s. Bumter. (Note: Mr*. Humter makes state? ments directlj contradictory of direc? tions given by experts of the depart' menl of agriculture in respect to the 1 inoculation of hativ vetch With soil from a field whore common or spring vetch has boon mown. The experta say that tins soil is better (ban the commercial acterln cultures, and it . ,s b fart (hat several of the mos: 'successful fields of vetch yet grown I in Sumter County were inoculated With soil from spring vetch fields. Mr. Sumter also contradicts their statement that ground limestone is better than burnt lime?either shell or rock. Mr. A. G. Smith, the alfalfa and vetch specialist of the depart? ment particularly advises against the use of burnt lime unless it is careful? ly air slacked before being applied to the land. He also advises that in-1 oeulation for alfalfa be made with soil from a field where alfalfa has been grown, and for vetch from a field where vetch has been grown in , preference to the commercial cul? tures. The farmer who plants either alfalfa or vetch may take his choice of the advice.) Adenoids arc a Menace to Children. ?Adenoids result from a succession of colds in babies and young chil- i drcn. They spoil the mental and physical life of a child. The condition that causes tiem may easily be avoid? ed by careful parents. Quickly and thoroughly c.ire all colds and throat Irltatloni by the use of Koley's Honey and Tar Compound, and adenoids will not develop.
