GOXfiKESS lias the say as to wliether the war will be!
long or short.
If the I'nited States acts f juit-kly, vigorously and effi
ciently, the war will soon be ended, the slaughter stopped
and peace be restored.
If the United States acts feebly, slowly and ineffici
ently, the war will drag along two or three years longer,
while the world shudders and suffers and sorrows.
"What is left of the (ierman propagandists in. America,
combined with the pacifists and the copperheads, are cen

Hid in some cases stock is facing

AVe this information through
several sources, including newpa-
rs, hut we have yet to see where
they offer a remedy for this trouhlu.
We take it for granted that those in
terested in the development of the '
lairy industry should take steps to
overcome a disaster of this sort.
The difficulty experienced is due
to the tact that the stockmen und the
dairymen do not cultivate enough
land and urow enough feed, hut de

membered that the cutliiitr of dry liny
is just as essential as cutting jjreeii
feed, and every dairyman should put
evcrythini; they feed in the wav of
hay or other ijreen fodder through n
feed cutter, as it will pi fully one
third further; in other words, they
can feed three cows on the same
amount of cut feed that thev would
fet-d two cows mi uncut feed. In a
few ea-es we have found where they

splendid results.
However, corn urowinn is very es
sential ami may he easily jjrowu, and
is calculated to help a loin; the milk

Rout as a big man as well as a

was $2.03 for each ton thev would
contain. That is surely not an un
reasonable price for equipment that
will nuiko and store such a valuable
feed as silao for from fifteen t
i vvcni y years. t nnd t lint the size
of the silo has an indirect relation
to cost per ton capacity. The ave
ajie price per ton capacity of all sil
having more than HO tons capacity
was $J.'J0. For that trroup of silo
under HO tons in capacity the aver
aire cost was .f.i.uii. it would evi
dently not pay to cut down on tin
size ot the silo hclow the capacity
desired just to save on the original
cost.
There is not groat difference

of filling thc-c silos, the actual

This cost varied from A'A cents t

In conclusion, we miht sav that

Chairman Simon lienson of the
state highway commission has noti
fied the Medford Commercial club
that at a meeting held on Tuesday of
this week that body agreed to match
the forestry service with a sum of
0,000 to he devoted this year to the
Crater Lake highway, if that depart
ment will contribute that sum for
that purpose and make it available
this year for that work.
The club lias been actively assisting
Commissioner Will G. Steel iu his un
tiring effort to obtain that appropri
ation for the Crater Lake road for
use this year. The work rloug that
line appears to be steadily bearing fa
vor for the Crater Lake project.
'which," says Commissioner Steel,
'certainly means much to Medford
and allseouthern Oregon."
Secretary Latta of the Commercial
club yesterday forwarded the follow
ing letter to Senator Chamberlain
concerning the matter:
Asks for Assistance
"Your attention Is called to the fact
that the Medford-Crater Lake high
way, from the city of Medford to the
lrw'nry of the Crater Lake National
park hn-i he.n surveyed and accepted
hv the :r'?Hra1 government, the state1
Old th county of Jackson; that that;
portion of said road between Prospect
and the park, 22 miles, is commonly
known as section 5, of which 17 miles
are within the Crater Lake national
forest and five miles outside of said
forest.
Jackson county has asked for an
ippropriatlon of luG,WJ0 under sec
tion 8 of the Shncklcford hill for use
during the current season. The Ore
gon highway commission has approv
ed of this action nnd notified the for
est service that it is ready to allot
one-half of that amount, or $50,000, if
the agricultural department will do
tho same.
'Just at this time citizens of south
ern Oregon will greatly appreciate it
if you will call on the proper officials
of the agricultural department and in
sist on an allotment of $50,000 by the
government to match an cquul amount
to be put up by tho state for use this
summer."

CLOSE ELECTION
TOKIO, April 21. Tlie indica
tions are that the iiiiiinistnitiiin Iuik
won the elections. The result will be
clone und many outlying districts are
still tc lie heard from.
The cmiiiait;ll which has just end
ed in Japan marked an important
point in the struile for n more rep
resentative form of government in
which the victory apparently has
been won by tho opponents of such
reforms. Count Okuinii, leader of the
movement for representative govern
ment, although having a majority in
the house of representatives, was re
placed last year as premier by Count
Terauchi, one of the most uncom
promising opponents of the new
school which threatened to revolu
tionize the form of government.
Count Teranchi's avowed political
slogan is a "no party form of gov
ern nient."
The fall of Count Oliiima resulted
in n sharp attack on the Terauelii
minitry, on the ground that it was
not representative of the controlling
elements in the house of representa
tives. . The house was dissolved last
January and new elections were or
dered. Opponents of the Terauchi
regime attacked the premier for dis
solving the house, and such men as
Yukio Ozaki, Japan s great progress
ist; Saburo Mimiada, president of
the house of representatives, and T,
Takefomi, former minister of com
munications, vigorously assailed the
government at campaign rallies.
