GOVERNMENT AID IN MARKETING As we seem to be drawn strongly by a number of prophecles into matters of finance and trade we may as well follow along those lines in this week’s cogitations. Our subscribers have written from time to time that if we could get trade under regulation in such a way that the producer could get his fair return and the consumer could pay a fair price (both return and price based on the cost of production, and not on the profits desired by handlers, all other difficulties of farmers would remove themselves. We are not sure but that is broadly true, and therefore we are quite content that the petition should take. BIRD LAW EFFECTIVE Many of the press comments on the decision of the United States district court, rendered March at Topeka, Kan. holding that the federal migratory bird law is unconstitutional, in the opinion of the department of agriculture, are erroneous and are apt to be misleading to the public concerning the real situation in this matter. The Kansas decision, like a former decision to the same effect in the eastern district of Arkansas, is limited in its operation solely to the district in which it was rendered. Neither decision settles or nullifies the law, and the exact contrary has been held by the United States District court for South Dakota.

These two deaths in his report, “illiance of immediate have written from time to time that if we could get trade under regulation in such a way that the producer could get his fair return and the consumer could pay a fair price (both return and price based on the cost of production, and not on the profits desired by handlers, all other difficulties of farmers would remove themselves. We are not sure but that is broadly true, and therefore we are quite content that the agitation should take that direction, as it seems clearly to be doing at the present time. If both producers and consumers could be protected from highway robbery, by which we mean undue exactions, along the avenue between them, it is quite possible that question of rural credit, interest rates, high cost of labor and living, etc., would adjust themselves to a rational basis, and that is probably what our readers who look upon marketing as the principal thing, really mean. We are not quite ready to admit the practicability of that view, unless it be urged on the ground that if producers and consumers could gain mastery of things which are of their clearest mutual advantage, they would have force enough to remove all collateral difficulties. On that ground we would concede the point. The present pertinence of the matter is that while our local organizations of producers pay scant heed to propositions of rural credit, they are quite outspoken on government aid in marketing. We he really received more copies of resolutions adopted by local meetings on that subject than we have found space to print and we must conclude that legislation along this line would meet a long-felt want. Mr. McPherson's measure now pending in our state legislature has been very widely approved by those who are anxious to make a trial of public marketing. Naturally no one can be exactly sure that this particular plan will succeed. In an effort so new, it is perhaps impossible to lay out a straight road to a desirable destination, and that is not the most important thing. Evidently most people do not care so much about the direction, but they do earnestly desire to be on the way.

Wash thoroughly, cover with cold water and simmer gently until the flesh is ready to drop from the bones. When half done season with salt, pepper, colery salt and one small onion stuck with two or three cloves. When the chicken is perfectly tender, remove all the skin and bone and shred the meat in good sized pieces. Boil two or three eggs hard, cool and cut in thin slices. Remove all fat from the chicken gravy, then boil down to about a cup. Moisten the meat with this, then pack in layers in a well buttered mold, arranging slices of meat and egg. Cover with a plate and set a weight on it. Stand in a cool place until the next day. Cut in slices and serve on lettuce leaves.

The Kansas decision, like a former decision to the same effect in the eastern district of Arkansas, is limited in its operation solely to the district in which it was rendered. Neither decision settles or nullifies the law, and the exact contrary has been held by the United States District court for South Dakota. The Arkansas case has been appealed to, and is now pending in the United States Supreme court. The act of congress protecting the migratory birds stands effective until the supreme court finally decides the question of its constitutionality. In the meantime, it is incumbent on every law abiding citizen to observe its provisions and the regulations. It is the duty of the department to enforce this law, and the officials in charge will endeavor to do so as long as it is in force. Reports of violations will be carefully investigated, and when sufficient evidence is secured they will be reported for prosecution. In this conection it should not be forgotten that an offender against this, as in the case of other United States laws is subject to prosecution any time within three years from the date the offense is committed.

Anaheim Gazette: All people who like dogs—or like human beings—are being appealed to by the State Hygienic Laboratory of the State Board of Health to help exterminate rabies among dogs, as the only way to protect dogs and people against this disease. Muzzle, is the motto of the campaign. The story of how two California children died from rabies during a single week in February, because of being bitten by mad dogs, is told by Dr. Wilbur A. Sawyer, director of the state laboratory at the University of California, in the last bulletin of the state board of health. One was a child in Watsonville, not yet three years old, bitten through the tongue by a rabid dog. The other was a five-year-old boy bitten in the hand by a rabid dog at Santa Cruz. Both children were given the Pasteur treatment, but it was already too late to raise the immunity rapidly enough to save their lives. "These two deaths," says Dr. Sawyer in his report, "illustrate the importance of immediate and thorough and virus to prevent hog cholera." Moreover, the lives of scores of thousands of other California hogs were saved because the spread of infection was checked and because of the campaign for disinfection and quarantine and better methods of fighting the spread of the disease which followed the inauguration of this important work by the university. Nine times out of ten, when a hog dies in California from disease it dies from hog cholera. Unfortunately many swine raisers are loath to believe that it is cholera which affects their hogs, and by the time they are convinced most of the hogs have become infected. The university urges hog raisers to remember this fact, that 9-10 of the deaths of swine from disease are due to hog cholera, and that no well-developed case of cholera can be cured by inoculation, but that it is necessary to inoculate before the disease is well developed. Consequently, when the cholera breaks out in a hord immediate action is necessary if the well hogs are to be saved. MENACE TO ALFALFA The clover root curculio in its most dangerous form is a tiny grub which seriously injures the roots both of clover and alfalfa, sometimes working upward into the stem. Only a short time ago it was considered of little economic importance, but it has now been definitely established that serious injuries formerly credited to other pests or the cause remained unknown are due to this tiny write grub. The insect seems to be continually increasing along roadsides and in clover fields and the department is now requesting that alfalfa growers report to it any evidences of their nsects' devastations. According to farmers' bulletin 649, The farm has buildings, a wood lot, a river, a dry stream, and presents a number of different soil conditions. Sixty boys every year are given the privilege of operating this farm. While wishing to make the idea practical, Mr. Stanley did not desire to take the boys out of school or away from their homes, so it was arranged that they live with their parents and attend their schools, merely devoting vacations, Saturday afternoons, and other idle times to the work. The farm is about 5 miles from town, and some of the young city farmers ride bicycles or street car for part of the distance while others walk. There are four classes of boys in the school, each with about 14 members, and they earn 5 to 8 cents an hour from their work, the wages varying with the class. Each boy pays an annual tax to the institution, which range from $2.50 to $7.50, according to the class. Each class of sophomores chooses the fortunate young men who are to follow them next year. From the seniors are chosen the boys who are to remain as postgraduate instructors, and the second year following graduation one of these is chosen to be superintendent of the farm. A superintendent 15 years of age is at present actually holding down his job while the graduating class, with Director Stanley, are in Washington. Even in winter, when actual operations on the farm are not practicable, boys are kept busy. A practical shop for the manufacture of farm articles is run in connection, in town. Every year the boys manufacture about 6,000 potato crates alone, and throughout the country districts in the vicinity of Elmira the crates of these boys may be seen. Commercial articles are also made. This work is done evenings after school and on Saturday. One was a child in Watsonville, not yet three years old, bitten through the tongue by a rabid dog. The other was a five-year-old boy bitten in the hand by a rabid dog at Santa Cruz. Both children were given the Pasteur treatment, but it was already too late to raise the immunity rapidly enough to save their lives. "These two deaths," says Dr. Sawyer in his report, "illustrate the importance of immediate and thorough cauterization of the bites of rabid animals, and of the avoidance of delay before the administration of the Pasteur treatment. Above all, they show the urgent necessity for reducing the number of dogs and muzzling the remainder. Measures aimed only at the treatment of persons bitten cannot entirely prevent human deaths from rabies, for some will be unaware of their danger and will not get treatment, while a few will be so severely bitten, or will start treatment so late that the Pasteur treatment will not save them. The disease should be exterminated among dogs. Then people will be safe." A recent outbreak of the disease is among dogs, coyotes, cattle and sheep in Lake County, Oregon. The citizens of Modoc county fear that this summer the disease will be brought into the county by coyotes, following the bands of cattle and sheep in their immigration from winter to summer feeding grounds. In order to protect cattle, dogs and human beings, the cattlemen and sheepmen of Modoc county are urging protective measures in the form of putting a high bounty on coyotes and license tax on dogs. Who is the best high school debater in California? This will be decided on Thursday, May 6, on the university campus, when the Interscholastic Debating League of California will hold its final debate for the state championship. This league, organized and conducted under the auspices of the university extension division, has held 85 debates during the past year, in which two hundred and fifty speakers from seventy-one high schools have participated. It will be the north against the south, for the Napa high school is to be pitted against the San Bernardino high school, these schools having won the championship of Northern and Southern California respectively. A silver trophy, offered by the English Club of the university, will be awarded to the winner. The subject the de- The time ago it was considered of little economic importance, but it has now been definitely established that serious injuries formerly credited to other pests or the cause remained unknown are due to this tiny write grub. The insect seems to be continually increasing along roadsides and in clover fields and the department is now requesting that alfalfa growers report to it any evidences of their insects' devastations. According to farmers' bulletin 649, this insect is now found in most of the northern states east of the Mississippi; also in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Colorado in the West and in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Louisiana in the South. There is only one practical suggestion that at present can be made for limiting the devastations of this pest. That is by disking or harrowing the fields as soon as the first hay crop is removed. The process, it would seem, will destroy vast numbers of the pupae of this insect, which do not descend much more than an inch below the surface. The disking and harrowing should be done immediately after removing the first hay crop, and prompt action even at this time will not prevent injury to that season's crop but should considerably reduce the pest following year. The depredations of the grubs are confined particularly to the roots of clover and alfalfa. Their works is therefore, not evident to the casual observer, and the little white insects themselves can hardly be noticed. The adult insect, also, which is a tiny beetle, injures both clover and alfalfa, but these injuries are less serious, although more noticeable. They may be particularly noticed in September and October, when mutated clover leaves along any roadside will testify to their abundance. It was only in May, 1914, that the first absolute proof was secured of the insects' serious devastations in alfalfa fields, and the department is still looking for the most practicable methods to prevent further losses. It seems that a short rotation of the alfalfa crop might have a tendency to limit the abundance of the insect in the fields, but this would not affect the continuous breeding of the pest in waste lands or where clover or alfalfa occur uninterruptedly. The limited amount of food consumed by the adults would place the application of poisons out of practical consideration and the attails on the farm are not practicable, boys are kept busy. A practical shop for the manufacture of farm articles is run in connection, in town. Every year the boys manufacture about 6,000 potato crates alone, and throughout the country districts in the vicinity of Elmira the crates of these boys may be seen. Commercial articles are also made. This work is done evenings after school and on Saturday. The farm is long past the experimental stage, and many of its graduates have entered colleges of agriculture, whence they have gone to take positions of responsibility. Some are at present employed in the federal department. A woman whose name is unknown took an interest in Mr. Stanley's project soon after it was started, and voluntarily agreed to finance it. The young men have been to thank for the Washington trip, as well as for the upkeep of the farm, although part of their expenses at Washington they are paying themselves out of their earnings. HOG BRISTLE GOING UP The pure bred hog has nearly ruined the bristle brush business by having his bristles bred out. America has long had to depend upon the half wild hog of Russia for its supply of bristles and now the war has put this material up 50 per cent. Had it not been for the many fibers which make good substitutes for bristles, in some industries we should long ago have suffered. Shall we have to cultivate a bristle-bearing hog? It begins to seem also that we shall have to grow our own camels for brushes. However if the art of painting pictures continues in the present lines, the paint can be laid on with a spade. PHEASANT FARMING There has recently been published under the direction of Wm. L. Finley, Oregon Fish and Game Commission, a beautifully illustrated bulletin on Pheasant Farming, written by Gene M. Simpson, superintendent of state game farm at Corvallis, Oregon. In the introduction Mr. Finley states that the bulletin, which is a revision of a former one, is designed to furnish reliable information as to how pheasants may be successfully propagated. He division, has held 85 debates during the past year, in which two hundred and fifty speakers from seventy-one high schools have participated. It will be the north against the south, for the Napa high school is to be pitted against the San Bernardino high school, these schools having won the championship of Northern and Southern California respectively. A silver trophy, offered by the English Club of the university, will be awarded to the winner. The subject the debaters have decided to discuss is: Resolved, That the United States should own and operate all interstate railroads. Six hundred agricultural students of the university are looking for jobs for the coming summer vacation—for 3 months from May 15—so there are 600 chances for ranch owners and orchardists to hire young men and women who have not only youth, health and strength, but also knowledge, intelligence and ability to mix brains with brawn. The manager of one large fruit company has written to the university, "We had one student from the university at work in the shipping house from May to about the middle of the season, when he had to leave to renew his studies. The energy and initiative of this young man put into the work was a decided eye-opener to the other men." Any employer who wants to hire some of these agricultural students can obtain them by writing to the College of Agriculture at Berkeley. Moreover the College is now in a position to recommend men who have already had both training and field experience to any ranch owners who want to employ men to take charge of their properties as foremen or as managers. The lives of 60,000 swine were saved in California during the past year directly by the work of the university in preparing and distributing serum A FARM FOR CITY BOYS Elmira Organization Gives Boys From Town 4 Years of Farm Work A group of city boys who have just finished a four year course in practical agriculture on a New York farm have been visiting the department of agriculture, where they have received additional instruction in soil surveys, soil tests, and soil boring, and are being posted generally on the work of the federal department. There are 14 of those young men, and they call themselves The Omega Club. They are accompanied by their director, Mr. Rufus Stanley. Some 14 years ago Mr. Stanley organized a unique experiment in agriculture. He thought that for growing city boys the benefit of some practical farm experience would be invaluable, and to give some of the young men of his city, Elmira, a chance to experience actual country life as well as to give them something profitable to do during vacations and on Saturdays, he brought his interesting project into being. A typical New York farm of 60 acres was secured, with as many distinctive features about it as possible. There has recently been published under the direction of Wm. L. Finley, Oregon Fish and Game Commission, a beautifully illustrated bulletin on Pheasant Farming, written by Gene M. Simpson, superintendent of state game farm at Corvallis, Oregon. In the introduction Mr. Finley states that the bulletin, which is a revision of a former one, is designed to furnish reliable information as to how pheasants may be successfully propagated. He has been particularly successful in rearing pheasants on the state game farm. The first chapter discusses the propagation of game birds and defends me rearing and sale of such birds. Chapter 2 describes the different varieties of pheasant. The chapter devoted to The Chinese Pheasant in Oregon, furnishes information as to the history of the introduction of this bird into Oregon and the success which has been obtained in establishing it. The succeeding chapters discuss the equipment for a pheasant farm, the ideal mother for pheasants, the food for young pheasants, enemies of the game breeder, and advice to the beginner. This bulletin sums up the very information which the man who is starting a pheasantry desires. As it is the result of long experience, it can be successfully used as a handbook by the pheasant breeder. It is to be hoped that there will soon be enough demand in California for such a publication. As yet the breeding of pheasants in captivity in this state is in its infancy.

MAY DISPOSE OF COUNTY ROCK CRUSHER Highway Commission Will Recommend Its Abandonment Owing to the fact that crushed rock and gravel may now be purchased from outside sources and delivered lower than the cost of producing it on the work in this county at prices here, the county highway commission has announced that it will recommend to the supervisors that they discontinue the operation of the gravel plant near McPherson and buy the future supply of such material outside of the county. Several conditions have recently arisen to justify this change of program. A new rock crushing plant has been opened on the Southern Pacific line along the San Gabriel river north of Los Angeles. This enables the high- In addition to this fact, the supply of gravel at the McPherson plant that can be handled economically is nearly exhausted and, owing to the necessity of longer hauling, the cost of production will now increase. In view of these conditions, the highway commission deems it wise to discontinue operations. President Pixley of the highway commission states that in the two years in which the plant has been operated, the saving in cost of road materials to the county has been large and that the material produced by the county plant has been superior in character to any that could be purchased at a reasonable price outside. In a recent letter, ex-president Roosevelt declared that the aim of women for universal peace was "silly, base, noxious, futile, cowardly, illogi- here, the county highway commission has announced that it will recommend to the supervisors that they discontinue the operation of the gravel plant near McPherson and buy the future supply of such material outside of the county. Several conditions have recently arisen to justify this change of program. A new rock crushing plant has been opened on the Southern Pacific line along the San Gabriel river north of Los Angeles. This enables the highway commission to secure a minimum rate equivalent to a reduction of 25 cents per ton, where before it was compelled to pay two minimum rates for transferring shipments from one road to another. This brings the price down to the cost of production at the local gravel plant. In a recent letter, ex-president Roosevelt declared that the aim of women for universal peace was "silly, base, noxious, futile, cowardly, illogical, weak minded, hypocritical, evil and hysterical." Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCullough, a prominent suffragette attorney, said: "The letter is typical of Teddy. eH does not realize that the day of the big stick is past. His letter is a cry of the barbarism out of his element." Good Place to Buy G-O-O-D L-U-M-B-E-R C. GANAHL LUMBER COMPANY Anaheim. : : : : Cal.
