Dairy Farm is
Being Operated
by a Tractor
Omaha Business Man Makes Test of
Machine Farming on 00 Acres
in Douglas County
E. H. 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.

$S0,000 Set

Frank Lowden
G. 0. P. Candidate Denies He Will
Support Dawes if Convention
Refuses His Candidacy
Washington, May 15. 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.
