OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Popular Vote on Amendments
Since the passage of the woman
suffrage amendment to the Con
stitution. the plea is again coining
to the fore in both Senate and
House, advocating a'change in the
method of amending the Constitu
tion of the United Stales. Bills
have been introduced in both
houses which provide that, amend
ments to the grand old- document
shall lie ratified by a popular vote
of th" oeople in earli State, in
stead of of as present, hv the vote
of State legislatures. It is pointed
out, as it is now. that a State hav
ing a total population of less than
■•hat of n suv of the large eilms in
large States have an equal voice in
imposing a law upon thousands of
people who mas not lie in ‘in-v of
it. With a popular vote ever/ sec
tion and eomunty would lia’v an
e.'iual say. It is believed by those
■ ho are fathering I h > :el!, that
they will receive early and favor
able consideration and will has:
popular support from most every
quarter, much the same as did l
election of United Ht:i’”s Sena tors
by popular vot", in eiv S, vs.
over the old w i.v of ele-ting them
by the voice of the Stall’ legisla
lures.
The Soldier Vote
To what extent will the “soldics
vote” control the nation in years
to come, is a topic of conversation
in the Halls of Congress and about
Washington: ” Will the soldier vole
fight shy of both Democratic and
Republican parties and set up a
policy of its own? It is claimed
t.htat the gVound work for such a
policy is taking form througout
th in the organization
of different local posts and as
sociations with the idea of holding
a ! oof from both political parties.
But, on the other hand, the Repub
licans and Democrats, with an eye
to the future, are not unmindful
of the opportunity to bring about
an organization something along
the lines of the Grand At my of I he
Renulille. largej.v. for election pur
poses. Scouts from both parties
■ire looking around, realizing that
there i# soon to in* built up in the
United' States one of the "most
•lowerful voting machines ever
formed and which will play an im
portant part in shaping govern
ment affairs for years to come. As
an example of what such an orga
nization might lie able to do in a
nolitieal way. it is pointed out that
the Grand Army of the Republic
virtually dominated the country
oolitieally for fifty years after the
Civil War.
Bugs and other destructive pests
if the farmers must vacate their
hunting grounds, if the plans of
I he Government to eradicate them
are successful. Four hundred
thousand dollars is needed fertile
destruction of wolves, coyotes,
mountain lions, .prairie dogs,
ground squirrels and gophers. The
weet-potato weevil is to take a
hack seat, at a cost of $75,000.
The European corn borer is 0
neet his doom, at an expense to
to the people of half a million dol-
—lars. while a general expense is
irpvided to deal further with tile
‘■tittle tick, the cotton boll weevil,
the wheat worm, the mosquito and
other pests of the farmer which
have made his work a burden and
have dug deep into his pockethook.
All States are to have their bat
tle flags returned to them, accord-
og to ret ent instructions issued
by the War Department. Each
national guard and national army
organization that lias been de
mobilized wil receive its individual
tilors. The flags will lie forward
■d to the army reeuiting officer
’rarest the eapitol of the State in
which they are to lie deposited for
'or delivery to the State officials.
Washington City is facing a
serious water famine, that is re
ceiving the attention of Govern
ment experts. During the eoldci
months the supply has been ade
quate, hut with the increased con-
.umption in summer and with tin
greatly increased jpopulabinn of
he eitv. measures have been taken
to. restrict the use of water, while
at the same time plans are under
way to increase the supply some
ninety millions of gallons a day, at
a cost of $000,000. ’Fhe supply is
.1 rawn from the Potomac River, 16
miles above the city, and brought
to the filtration plant in the oit'•
through a conduit built shortly
after the Civil War. The Capita!
City lias never before been in such
a plight, due to the lack of water,
PROFITABLE COWS—HOW TO
DETERMINE THEM
While feeds are so high, prices
and labor so scarce, it is of impor
tance to know profitable animals.
A few unprofatible cows probally
caused many dairyman to become
discouraged during the last few’
years. Such discuragoment might
have been avoided had the proper
steps been taken in selecting and
eliminating animals. There are
three things that should he known
ill order to determine the relative
profits from individual cows,
the ammount of milk
produced, the percent of fat in the
milk and the ammount of feed con
sumed.
Hoping a daily milk record is
the only satisfactory method of
‘•eier'ninning what individual cows
hi with thi’ feed given them. The
cost of keep iag such a re rd is
small nd is more than offset b the
advantages to lie had from the re
cord. The only tiling
in securing a milk record are a
■'air of spring halanecs and a sheet
for recording weights. Having a
dedv milk record maks it possible
to feed cows with the greatest

milk and to give prompt and ear-.
fnl attention to animals in poor
health, the daily records also make
it possible o judge the work of
different milkers. Experiments
have shown that with certain cows
some milkers are able to get as
much -is 25 per rent more milk
than others.
The ’ji’joitest adnvntage to lie
had in having a nd showing the
individuality of cows, of course
is making il possible to eliminate
the inferior ones and build up the
herds. A study of the data given
in the Bidden No. SI) f the Geotv
gia Experiment Station shows
srtTne of the importance of milk
records. The best cow in the five
herds considered, produced in one
vear 0.257 pounds of milk and 544
pounds of butter, while the poorest,
cow produced only 1,580 ponds of
milk and 88 pounds of butter,
