Sprague, business man of Omata, and owner of the Sprague stock farm near Waterloo, in the western part of Douglas county, is making an interesting experiment in the use of tractor power to cut labor cost and save time. His farm is oper ated without horses. He has a herd of 30 Holstein cows and raises about 250 head of Duroc Jersey hogs each year. There is also a flock of White Leghorn chickens on the farm. His plan of power farming is being watch ed by neighboring farmers, some of whom are not yet convinced that a tractor can be profitably operated on a small farm. Last year the crops on the Sprague farm were as follows: Corn and soy beans, 100 acres; alfalfa, 30 acres; oats and sweet clover, 30 acres; bal ance pasture. The Farmall has en abled Mr. Sprague to carry on his various field operations with ease and a minimum amount of time and la bor. It has made it possible for him to become a horseless farmer. When asked what is done with the Farmall, Mr. Sprague replied with much emphasis, "Everything." Tilage work, corn, corn cultivations with four-row lister-cultivator at the rate of 40 to 50 acres a day; mowing. harvest work of various kinds, belt "operation of feed grinder silo filler, roughage mill, etc., and even haul ing, are all efficiently accomplished with the tractor. In hoisting hay to the barn it is used as pully horse. In plowing, a soil pulvertizer is pulled behind the plow in tandem fashon. In fact, every imaginable hauling belt and field job that must be done on the typical cornbelt farm is per formed with this tractor, and it is done with dispatcli and great sav ings in man labor. A maximum amount of Mr. Sprague's time and that of the two men whom he regular ly employs, is accordingly available for the care of his cows and other livestock. Special importance is attached by Mr. Sprague to the proper care of hi? farm equipment. Without such care he declared, farmers are not able to get the most out of their' machines. He insists at all times, - therefore that machines when not in use be cleaned and placed in the shed, and that they be carefully lubricated every morning before they are plac ed, in operation. The barn is unusally well built and well ventilated. It is 90 feet long. 3G feet wide and is provided with Gothic type of roof. It has a capacity of 40 head. The barn equip ment includes steel stalls, two-way stanchions and special pens, which are yrovided with two-way gates. The silo is 16 feet by 4 2 feet in size and has a capacity of 150 tons. The machine shed where Farmall tractor is shown, with belt attached to feed grinder, is of tile construc tion, 72 feet long and 3 6 feet wide. At the time the photograph was--taken alfalfa hay was being ground into meal for the dairy cows. Sweet cream only is sold by Mr. Sprague. This is delivered to Omaha each morning and a considerable quanity is supplied to a large Omaha hotel. Skimmed milk is fed to the hogs. WOULD ENJ0DI V0LIVA Chicago, May 1C. Church prop erty valued at 10 million dollars in Zion City is being evploited for com mercial purposes by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, head of the Zionists, and some of his officials, according to a suit filed today in the Cnited States dis trict court. The court was asked to enjoin the further sale or transferal of property by Voliva and his aides. Many "Zionists" are listed as com plainants in the suit, filed by former Senator James Hamilton Lewis. They charge Voliva and the trustees have been engaged in a conspiracy to sell the city of Zion to private commer cial interests.

Placing ex penditures on his behalf at less than $60,000, Frank O. Lowden,' Illinois candidate for the republican presi dential nomination, declared Monday before the senate campaign invest! gation that there was no basis for the widespread opinion that he would throw his support to Vice President Dawes in the event he could not be nominated at Kansas City. James E. Watson of Indiana told the board his own personal expenses in the Indiana primary campaign had been $2,6S0.90. Old-Time Friends Xeither Watson nor Lowden could give details of campaign financing Lowden referred the inquisitors to Clarence F. Buck, former Illinois state senator, who is the directing head of his national organization, while Watson said the treasurer of his organization. Archie Bobbitt of Indianapolis, could give details of re ceipts and expenditures. Both of these men will be called. Lowden reminded his interrogators with respect to Dawes that everyone knew they were old time friends At another point he said that per haps the fact that he and Dawes entertained similar views on public questions might have much to dc with the talk that he would throw his support to the vice president. He asserted he had no agreement with any other candidates for delegate support from them. Glad to Appear Lowden explained beyond contri buting $12,500 to his campaign fund, he had not been active in his own behalf. Asked if his organization sent any money into Missouri where Lowden and Hoover had a contest, the wit ness said that none had been sent there so far as he knew. He doubted that any appreciable sums had been sent into any of the states where he contested for delegates. Thanked by Steiwer for his cooper ation with the committee, Lowden told the senators at the finish that he was glad of the opportunity to appear.
