In the party were Representatives Fitzgerald, chairman; Swagar Sherley of Kentucky. Casey of Pennsylvania, Calder of Brooklyn and George White of Ohio. Representative Mann, the minority lender, though not a member of the committee, was also along, and some of the travelers were accompa nied by their wives. They had about a week in the canal zone "We went through the canal on the steamer Alliance." said Mr. White "Saw them put through six boats with In three hours.

I was told that lurft mouth they had put through three a day on the average. Governor Goethais Is much pleased. "The estimate of the appropriation for the canal for next year is $20,000, 000. Some of the members of the com mittee had been Joking with Governor Goethais on the subject of nppropria Hons and telling him he would not be alile to finish the waterway within the limits of the $37.r..OOO.OOO, which was the estimated cost With, the canal practically completed and Including the estimate for next year, there will be $5,000,000 to spare, and that, in speak ing of such great sums, is what I call pretty close figuring.

N.C. 1S Irfuitnru nnt TAMPA'S GREAT SPECTACLE President Wilson And Other Distin guished Men Being Urged To Attend Carnival Tampa, Fla., Jan. .Bringing to mind the romantic days of more than a century ago when bloodthirsty pirates, headed by such daring sea rovers as Captain Kidd, LaKitte and Gasparilla, infested the Gulf Coast of Florida and the Spanish Main, the cosmopolitan people of Tampa are making elaborate preparations for holding the tenth an nual Gasparilla Carnival, named for one of the most daring and cruel of the pirate clan, and which rivals the New Orleans Mardi Gras in magnifi cence, with many amusement features peculiar to the semi-tropics added. The dales of the Carnival are February 12 to 16, inclusive, and an attendance of 100,000 people from all sections of the Union is expected. The lowest rail road rates ever offered will be in force from all points east of the Mississippi river. Monster pageants, In which floats of amazing beauty will be enteKpd; flower parades and street dancing in which thousands of children and grown-ups, including iampas Ameri can, Spanish, Cuban, Italian and Ger man citixens, will participate, aero plane flights, maneuvers of warships in the harbor, yacht races, day and night fireworks displays along the ce-nieut-paved boulevard that traverses the most beautiful bay in America, halls in the various foreign clubs, mu sic by the best bands of this country and Cuba and a Garden of Eden exhi bition of Florida fruits, flowers and vegetables on the court house square in Tampa, are among the many amuse ment features to be offered the visit ors. Everything will be absolutely free, and preparations have already been made to properly care for thou sands in the big hotels, boarding houses and private homes of the city. During the month of February win ter winds blow in every other state and section, but then South Florida, arrayed in a garb of green, appears to best advantage. The golden fruit is being shipped to the Northern mar kets, early vegetables are going out daily by the train load, hordes of tour ists are enjoying life in all the small cities and towns, and particularly along the Gulf Coast, and joy reigns supreme among all classes. To enter tain these visitors Tampans have for years held tills annual carnival, which has grown bigger and better each sea son. Since the Spanish-Amercian War, Tampa has doubtless entertained, a larger number of famous American statesmen and foreign ambassadors than any Southern city, and many will attend the coming Carnival. President Woodrow Wilson is being urged to at tend the Carnival, and to make South Florida his winter home in future ars. -ing the five-day period of cele- O 'r ;le following special days win rrserved. daVi February 12, is designated .

The Panama Canal Parade, which occurs on this day, will be one of the most brilliant and unique features of the celebration. The night hours will be. turned over 'to a masked carnival on Franklin, the principal street of the city, in which thousands of brilliantly and fantastically garbed people will lance on the thoroughfare. Many bands will furnish the dance music. Sunday will be known as "Peace Day," and Impressive open-air serv ices, as well as those In the many churches, will be devoted to peace programs.

Thus the dictionary tells 'us first or second hand. It is a demonstrated good thing, and the reason for the rapid growth is that the farmers have come into tun apprecia- t tion of it only during the last few years. Before that the contents of the silo were used as food only for dairy cattle, but it. is now recog- nized as a valuable feature of all branches of the cattle industry. Recent tests show that silage as a food for beef animals, as well as for breeding animals and for the young, greatly reduces the cost of meat production and increases the cattle-carrying capacity of the farm. farm to the farmer, and the statistics show upon it.

Of course by far the greater number are as yet in the Illinois and Iowa easily leading in tle feeding is most practised are percentage of annual increase. Central Indiana and Illinois, the north half of Missouri, eastern Kansas and central Oklahoma are beef-produc- ing districts that are marked by a rajpid silo development during the past two years. The use of the silo in feeding beef cattle is responsible not only for the multiplication of the device, but for the reported increase in the average size. The size of the silo depends largely upon the daily con sumption of silege, as the top must ly. As the amount. required daily than for steers, the use of silage in los of larger capacity. The economic importance of the present development of silage feeding would be hard to overestimate. About 70 per cent., or rough- ly 75,000,000 acres, of our corn area used to produce corn to be fed up- on the farm. Husking and gathering this corn not only constitute one of the hardest manual tasks performed upon the farm, but is one of the largest items of cost in growing corn. An acre of corn land pro- duces, perhaps, one ton of corn and The corn is separated at great labor and expense, and then the 11 tons of feeding material is allowed to go to waste, an incumbrance in the field, except as a small part tie for a few weeks at the close 000,000 acres devoted to the growth of feed for farm animals by far the greater part of the annual growth of feeding material is absolute- ly thrown away.
