BEING STUDIED
Large Amounts Of Field Work Being
Carried on by the United States
Geological Survey In all Parts Of
the United States

Questions Of material development
of the value and best use OF land
or Of the utilization of the country's
latent resources-occupy a prominent.
place n the public thought these
days. Among such questions are
those relating to the location or
development of gold and silver de
posits, or oil wells, or arteslan water
supplies; to the value of coal lands,
to the possibilities of developing the
water power on rivers; to the use Of
land for dry farming; and to the prop
err location Of transmission lines CT
fnterurban railways. On all these
questions and others relating to the
esrth's surface, its rocks and miner
ais and ores, to water and its best
use, the United States Geological
Survey is the court of last resort. In

BONE TROUBLES IN HORSES

On cause Of spawn, ringbone and
other bone troubles In horses is the
lack OF proper nourishment. An un-
balanced ration containing large
amount OF corn and deficient In ash
makes a porous bone with rather
spongy texture. Fed q proper ra-
ton, the same animal would develop
much stronger bone with firm,
solid texture. The bone diseases
are usually simply an effort Of nature
to add extra growth to reinforce h
bone that Is not strong enough for its
load A great many Of these trou-
Dies would be avoided II all horses,
particularly when they are growing,
were supplied an abundance Of such
iced as oats, with some OF the leg
ume hays for roughage.

The water resources branch studies
the underground waters for the pir-
pose of determining their avsilabis-
ity for domestic use o. for irr CATION;
the surface waters and for power or
irrigation; and also makes studies
bearing on food control and similar
projects.
At present a large share Of the sur
vey's funds is expended in examining
and classifying the public lands In
the west, this expenditure reducing
the work in the eastern states much
below THE amount formerly done. In
fact, large part of the work nov-
under way in the east is done In
states that contribute dnehAif a
more of this expense OF the work n
is, OF course, to be regretted thai

answering these inquiries the Survey
distributes over a million printed re-
ports and maps each year and an
swers thousands of letters concerning
areas not covered by printed reports.
Some $4,000 inquiries are received
by the Survey every year from the
General Land Office as to the charac-
ter of lands-whether these lands are
valuable for coal, mineral deposits or
agricultural use, or have any posi-.
bi tiles for the development OF water
power OF reservoirs or for irrigation,
as the clasiiicat on of the public lands
is by law made one of the primary
functions of the Geological Survey.
To prepare these maps and reports
and to answer these letters OF in.
quiry requires IN intimate, first hand
knowledge of the questions involved
tfat can be had only in the field so
that, at this season Of the year, the
Washington office of the Survey is al.
most deserted and the men are scat.
tered from Maine to California
from the lava slopes of Hawaii to the
snow fields of northern Alaska.
The work is carried on in three
lines.
The Topographic branch makes

earth, with its streams, rivers, lakes

states paying one-half or more of the
