OF the report, Is contained I'm statement
made public yesterday by Representative
f.. w. Martin OF South Dakota. the au-
thor or the house resolution under which

Mr.. Martin takes the position that the
report is misleading and that It lis i'm the
nature OF a special pleading in defence Of

panies involved In the investigation"
He points out that while Commissioner
Garfield secured his Information from
original sources that the defence only
OF the packers Is given. little space being
devoted to the complaints Of the stock

the Inquiry
MI. Martin contends that the document
Is full OF Inconsistencies, in that the sum

are discussed at length I'm the earlier

He sharply takes issue with Commits
sioner Garfield as 10 the profits OF the
packers. He directs attention TO the wide
spread public criticism OF the report. say
ing that "this has resulted partly from
what the report does not contain and
partly from the prefactory statement pur-
porting TO be a summary OF what the re-
port does contain" Mr.. Martin said:

in which there is an immense varia-

The difference in the profits from

by the experiment stations in their

Thus, a bulletin of the Utah sta

How to Destroy Moles.

Messrs. Editors: I will give your
readers and especially "A Sub
scriber' of Moore County, my rem
edy for destroying moles. 4 few
years ago the moles were so bad l
could scarcely raise anything in my
garden. 1 soaked corn in strych-
nine and put in their runs; that
would stop them for while, out they
would come again. I have dog, the
"ye1low" kind, that [ would see at
times scratching for them, SO when
ever I would find run I would take
my dog to it, and he would do the
balance.
I have not seen a mole run on my
place this year.
[ would advise any one that IS
bothered with moles to take his dog
to their runs a few times, and when
he gets interested in hunting them,
they will not be bothered any more
with moles. J. W. TERRY.
