"When the American data was finally collected, it was found impossible to make the necessary study of the data and draft a report on which to base the future policy of the country until such time as this study has been carried on in conjunction with the various problems which will come up at the peace conference.
"It is evident that no American policy can be formed satisfactorily until a careful investigation is made into the plans of other nations and the governing factors which the terms of peace and the taking over of the shipping of the Central Powers have developed.
"For some time importers, exporters, ship operators and members of the Seaman's Union have all been anxiously waiting for an outline as to what America's final policy may be. This policy will largely be developed during the absence abroad of Chairman Hurley and Commissioner Robinson.
"There are three questions of vital importance to be considered. First, shall our ships be government owned or shall they pass into the hands of private corporations? Second, will any form of ship subsidy be necessary? Third, will it be necessary to make any change in the Seaman's Act? None of these questions can be decided defi-

nically until the foreign situation is investigated. It is, however, evident that it will be impossible to obtain a proper type of men for the new merchant marine unless full protection is given the American laborer affloat. Great Britain has already met the American wage scale. There is no particular reason why the question of ship subsidy should come up until the question of government or private ownership of the ships is decided.
"Even if the ships do become privately owned, it is possible that there are a number of ways in which American shipping can be aided and protected against unfair competition without going into the dangerous question of direct subsidy at this time. However, it is absolutely impossible and certainly unwise to go into the argument on any of these three great questions until the necessary data is obtained and a complete study of the situation has been made, and it is for this reason that not only the shipping board itself, but also members of the house and senate have declined to be drawn into any discussion of the subject at the present time.
"Henry M. Robinson is a financier, a banker and a lawyer of wide experience. He has been closely associated with the steel industry, with Morgan & Company, with the Bankers Trust Company, with the American Telephone & Telegraph Companies, with various power corporations, with the Redwood Lumber operations in the West, with rubber companies and has had some connection with ship construction.
"During the first year of the war he served on the Council of National Defense. For years he has been director of the Navy League and was called to Washington last July by Mr. Hurley to make the present studies."
are contemplating even enlarging their original plans to make it emphatic the fears of the alarmists immediately following the cold spell were unfounded."
HASTEN JOINT OUTFALL
With the government urging cities, counties and states of the nation to at once carry out any big projects they have for improvements, the time is very opportune for the cities of Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton to hasten their plans for a joint outfall sewer system to the ocean, says the Santa Ana Register.
The advice of the government is given with a view to furnishing employment for people in the readjustment period. With thousands of soldiers returning from the camps and from overseas, and with the cessation of war munitions work disturbance is liable to occur unless employment is available not only for the returning soldiers but also for the vast throngs of workmen who have been thrown out of work.
The construction of the proposed joint sewer will entail the expenditure of between $300,000 and $400,000. At best it will probably be the latter part of the year before definite work could be started, and nothing that will hasten the day when this important work might be commenced should be left undone by the committees of the different city councils, to whom the plans for development have been entrusted. The Inter-City Committee already has taken steps to have data gathered as a preliminary to final agreement between the cities as to the route, responsibility and estimated cost of the project.
Legislative action will be necessary to authorize the co-operation of the cities in the project, and steps to secure this action are well under way.
of the reentry will be waging war on the rodents. Similar campaigns were conducted in four other Wyoming counties during 1918.
DEVASTATED REGION IN FRANCE
The first published engineerng estimate of the total damage done in the French devastated regions is made by Major George B. Ford, head of the Red Cross housing research service, after a survey made since the signing of the armistice. It places the total bill which Germany ought to pay at something under $13,000,000,000.
Major Ford, who is a well-known American engineer, says:
"We have checked most of the figures reported by the French budget committee to the chamber of deputies, and we find its estimate somewhat high."
Major Ford's own report is now being used by Major McKinstry's engineering board, which is preparing its estimate under the guidance of the peace commissioners. French insurance companies also are highly commending accuracy.
Major Ford estimates that Belgium alone suffered from destruction to the amount of $2,000,000,000 and more than $1,000,000,000 in loss of machinery stolen by the Germans.
The French devastated area is equal to Connecticut and Rhode Island. Half a million buildings are damaged, of which 250,000 were totally destroyed.
The cost of building is two and a half times greater than it was before the war. As a result the total building destruction is estimated at $6,000,000,000.
The total cost of replacing destroyed public works and railroads is given at $2,000,000,000. The Nord railroad alone lost 1731 bridges and 338 stations.
Twelve hundred churches, 500 schools 1600 manufacturing plants and fields in all locations save money was seen ducking
KILL LIONS AND PROTECT DEER SAYS HUNTER
Claiming that the plan advocated to cut down the deer limit to one buck a person is all wrong, T. D. Robinson, well known hunter, claims that the wrong system has been used in California to conserve deer.
"I have 10 good deer heads at home that I have killed during the past five or six years and I know the conditions," said Robinson.
"More deer are killed by the mountain lions in one year than the hunters ever took."
"A mountain lion will average one deer a week and there is no game law for the lions that protects the doe."
"On my quall trip last Sunday I came across a big doe that had been killed by a mountain lion.
At the present time there is a bounty of $20 on a male mountain lion and $30 on a female. Let the state raise the bounty to $75 for either a male or female and then professional hunters will go into the High Sierras with dogs and make a business of exterminating the mountain lions.
By killing two lions a month the hunter could make expenses. But it would not pay him under the present rate.
"The lions also are a detriment to the ranchers, as they kill calves."
"The hunters pay out thousands of dollars for game licenses and they have had less protection than the fishermen. Trout streams are stocked every year. But there are only a few deputies to patrol thousands of miles of territory and they never get a lion, who is the real offender of the game laws."
There is another way to cut down or exterminate the mountain lions and that is to poison the carcasses of the deer that have been killed. In the High Sierras there is no danger of anyone getting poisoned as only the mountain lions or wild cats would eat it.
Legislative action will be necessary to authorize the co-operation of the cities in the project, and steps to secure this action are well under way. There are many features to the enterprise to be considered and worked out and all this will take time.
As far as Santa Ana is concerned, there is imperative demand for an outfall sewer system, and the residents of the city should lend every support to the council. The present arrangement with the Southern California Sugar Company for use of its outfall line for disposal of sewage may be terminated at any time by a year's notice from either party to the contract. The line is now taxed to its full capacity during the season of operation of the sugar plant. The contract between the city and the sugar factory expired on December 31, 1918, but carried a provision that its operation should continue for one year unless notice was given by either party that they wished to cancel it. It is the belief of the members of the city council that the sugar company will want to cancel its contract within two years. For that reason, Santa Ana must prepare an outfall of its own.
The expenditure of $300,000 or $400,000 by the four cities will place the major portion of that money in circulation in Orange county and will help to provide employment for those who need work.
Let's get the project under way just as quickly as possible.
The Register is for it—it is a fine scheme and will save Santa Ana and the other cities a vast sum of money over what each would have to spend were they to attempt to carry sewage to the ocean individually.
LIME VALUE SHOWN IN NEW YORK
Fields treated with lime produced an average of 1½ tons of cured hay an acre more than unlimed fields in tests of ground limestone, burned lime, and hydrated lime, conducted by the farm bureau through the county agent in Cheming county, N. Y. A farmer who used 1 ton of ground limestone to the acre secured 4840 pounds of cured hay.
To Connecticut and Rhode Island. Half a million buildings are damaged, of which 250,000 were totally destroyed.
The cost of building is two and a half times greater than it was before the war. As a result the total building destruction is estimated at $6,000,000.
The total cost of replacing destroyed public works and railroads is given at $2,000,000,000. The Nord railroad alone lost 1731 bridges and 338 stations.
Twelve hundred churches, 500 schools, 1000 manufacturing plants and 500 public buildings have been obliterated.
Slightly more than 1000 towns have suffered 80 per cent destruction. Noyon, Ham, Solssons, Dormans, Peronne, Rheims and Verdun have destroyed to an extent of 90 per cent.
Approximately two million inhabitants lost their furniture. Cotton and wool industries lost $6,500,000 as a result of theft or destruction of spindles. The loss in linen amounts to $500,000.
Of the total of 210 sugar refineries, 140 were destroyed, including a loss of $25,000,000 in machinery. Brewores suffered to a similar degree.
Through German destruction and battle France lost 10 per cent of her timber and six and a half per cent of her firewood.
Before the war 750,000 men were employed in the building trades. The total building done in any pre-war year amounts to less than seven per cent of the construction necessary to restore the devastated districts.
If no buildnig were to be done anywhere else, and half a million men were available, it would take more than twenty years to restore those districts.
SAVE BY CO-OPERATIVE BUYING
Farmers of Dukes and Nantucket islands, lying off the Massachusetts coast, saved more than $150 on each of four 20-ton cars of feed purchased cooperatively. The islands, each of which constitutes a separate county and has a farm bureau co-operating with the Massachusetts Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agriculture, use about three cars of feed a month. The county agent, who covers both counties, called attention to the advantage of co-operative buying, and the farm bureau officers arranged with local bank officials for the purchase of feed in car lots. The farmers deposit their orders at the bank on the first of every month. When orders aggreating a car load
FROST DOES NOT ALTER PLANS OF BIG ORANGE SHOW
Declaring that the frost of New Year's day damaged only a small fraction of California's citrus fruit crop, General Manager F. M. Renfro, of the Ninth National Orange show, announced recently that the exposition's plans would not be modified in any degree and that the greatest citrus fruit position ever held would be staged in San Bernardino, February 14 to 23.
"We have gathered information from the best posted citrus fruit growers through many districts," said Mr. Renfro. "It is now apparent that the frost did not do great injury to the crop. Three factors enter into the situation: the fruit was from three weeks to a month ahead of normal maturity and therefore not so susceptible to frost, it was a 'white frost' and not a 'black frost' as in 1913 and there was no longer excessive cold except in low spots."
"The orange show will be staged as originally planned, and many districts
LIME VALUE SHOWN IN NEW YORK
Fields treated with lime produced an average of 1½ tons of cured hay an acre more than unlimited fields in tests of ground limestone, burned lime, and hydrated lime, conducted by the farm bureau through the county agent in Chemung county, N. Y. A farmer who used 1 ton of ground limestone to the acre secured 4840 pounds of cured hay, compared to 1208 pounds on an unlimited acre. Another, who applied 700 pounds of hydrated lime to an acre, obtained 6292 pounds against 1461 pounds on an unlimited acre. A third farmer used 1 ton of burned lime to the acre and obtained 3400 pounds, compared to 1040 pounds on unlimited land.
WYOMING CALLS HALT TO WORK OF RODENTS
Lincoln county, Wyo., this year saved $100,000 worth of grass and grain, it is estimated, as the result of a campaign against rodent pests carried on through the co-operation of the farm bureau and the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. The damage done by rodents in this county has been particularly heavy, fully 25 per cent of the feed on the range being destroyed each year. Two of the four farming sections of the county were organized for the work with 50 per cent of the farmers and ranchers co-operating. As a result, 85 per cent of the squirrels on the land treated with poisoned bait were killed. The results were so striking that practically every farmer in these two sections is expected to co-operate next spring. The other two farming sections have recently been organized, so that next year all the farming districts
INTRODUCES PEDIGREED SEED
The farm bureau of St. Claire county, Mich., has to its credit an accomplishment which will mean much to the future of the county. Due to an unfavorable season the wheat crop was obliged to obtain seed from an outside source. In the natural course of events the elevators would have shipped in seed, some from one point, some from another, and the result would have several kinds of wheat and one of it pure. At a meeting of the executive committee of the farm bureau the county agent was instructed to take orders for Red Rock, a superior variety of pedigreed wheat. Orders for 1600 bushels came in promptly, and the agent went to St. Joseph county, in the western part of the state, and through the assistance of the farm bureau of that county, easily obtained a carload of wheat that had passed a rigid inspection, both in the

saved 30 cents a bushel, but a still
more important feature of the method

INVESTIGATE QUALITY OF SEED
Nearly 17,000 samples of seed were
received for test last year at the seedtesting laboratory of the United States
Department of Agriculture in Washten, and 11,349 samples at the five
branch laboratories maintained in cooperation with state institutions. All
of these samples were examined to determine the quality of the seed and the
presence of adulterants. The enforcerment of the seed-importation act has
served to prevent many shipments of
imported seed, unfit for seeding purposes, from being distributed in their
original condition. Among these shipments over 675,000 pounds of red clover seed were prohibited entry on ac-count of the presence of weed seeds and dead seed. Approximately one half of this was recleaned in bond—the weed seeds and other refuse removed being destroyed, while the seed of good quality was allowed to go into the seed trade. The other half of the prohibited red clover shipments was rejected because it contained so much dead seed as to be of practically no value for seeding purposes. Three shipments, aggregating enough seed to sow 16,000 acres at a normal rate of seeding, contained no seed which could be expected to grow in the field. Be-cause of the difficulties of trans-Atlantic shipment, imports of almost all kinds of seed have fallen off, Canada bluegrass from Canada and winter rape from Japan being the only two items of imports which have exceeded those of the previous year.
Pennsylvania is to spend $50,000,000 for good roads, while Illinois has voted $60,000,000. In the latter state, auto-mobile taxes will provide the entire amount. Motoring has done more for road improvement in a few years than the farmers were able to accomplish in half a century. Perhaps that is be-cause motorists pay as they go, while returns from other sources are less direct. In any event, the circumstance is a fortunate one for all concerned. Better roads mean wider agricultural development and easier marketing, and these results are, or should be, reflected in more abundant supplies and lower prices. Unconsciously, perhaps, but none the less truly, the moroists are public benefactors.
The fish and game officials have decied to try out a plan to exterminate the mountain lions by means of professional hunters. Jay C. Bruce, owner of one of the best pack of hunting dogs in the west, has been hired to rid the Yosemite country of mountain lions and wild cats. A short time ago his pack of dogs killed three cats and one mountain lion in a day. If the plan is successful there, it will be followed all over the state.
