BETTER RANGE REGULATIONS
TO MAKE CHEAPER BEEF

Washington, Oct. 20-That the de-
struction of the public range as a re-
suit of unregulated use by cattle and
sheep men, resulting in decreased
number of cattle, may have something
to do with the high price of beef, is
the opinion of Clifford Pinchot, who
as chief forester, inaugurated the
system of grazing leases on the ma
tional forests in 1906
"One very important reason for the
decrease in the number of beef cat
tie" said Mr.. Pinchot to day, 'is the
fact that the public range is con-
Stantly decreased in carrying capacity
owing to its unregulated use and
abuse. Vast areas of lands which
formerly were covered with high
grass suitable for grazing cattle are
now practically desert, because they
have been over-grazed, and because
the range has been destroyed by put
ting cattle on it too early in the
spring, thus cutting up the young
grass and preventing its growth.
"That the unregulated use of the
range is slowly destroying it, is prov
ed by the fact that on the national
forests the number of stock is being
gradually increased while the nurSer
is decreasing on the public range i'm
mediately adjoining it. The forest
service instituted in 1906 the plan of
granting grazing permits to stock
men who wished to use the national
forests for range. By limiting the
number of cattle and sheep to the
amount which the range in the forests
is capable of supporting, the forest
service has been able to conserve and
improve the range and now the cattle
men themselves admit the value of
the policy.
But the western politicians, using
the cry states rights have so far
heen able to defeat the application If
the same principle to the public range
outside the forests.
THAT the stockraisers themselves
are in favor Of public regulation OF
! the range is proved by the fact thai
the American National Livestock as
SociatiOn, which includes with its or
ganization big and little cattlemer
from all over the United States, has
endorsed the Lever bill.
"Of course cheaper cattle-raisina
does not necessarily mean cheaper
prices to the consumer, So long as
price control rests in the hands of thc
beef trust other methods of controll
ing the price to consumers must be
used. But the raising of beef on the
hoof at a moderate price depend;
very greatly on the abundance anc
quality of the range and this in turr
does depend on its regulated use
Other problems connected with the
high cost Of meat can be taken VI
when the country is ready to take
them up"

Sam Houston and Bailey
New York Times.

With good reason Texans VINO take
pride in their state are protesting
against the substitution of a por
trait of Joseph W. Bailey for one of
Sam Houston in a place of honor in
the capitol at Austin. The greatness
of Bailey, of course, is not to be de-
MED, but neither is it to be denied
that there are degrees of greatness.
Is the old war cry of the Texans to
be forgotten? Has Remember the
Alamo" lost its significance? Hou;-
ton was the founder and upbuilder Of
Texas, it's first hero, the first presi-
dent of the Lone Star state in its
brief day OF independence, its first
senator, after its admission to the
Union, its genuinely patriotic gov
ernor in its worst hour of trial Clear
ly, the greatness of Bailey is differ
eat from that of the soldier and
statesman of an earlier era, the
avenger of the Alamo massacre, The
/ human conquerer Of the detestable
Santa Ana. The genius of Houston
was constructive, that Of Bailey is
rhetorical If Bailey's likeness is not
appropriate in the capitol at Austin
we do not know where it is appro-
pirate, but to displace Sam Houston
for it is pretty bad taste. The pride
of Texas in the achievement of Hous-
ton is imperishable The pride It
takes in Bailey may be as sincere but
Bailey should not be permitted to
crowd Houston off the wall.

AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
NEAR THE PEOPLE

Washington, Oct 20-One Of the
most valuable services which Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston is rem
dering is that Of pouularizing the
work of the department Of agriculture.
Until the new secretary took charge
he work of the department was
largely buried in reports written in
words of five o. more syllables. Pre-
vicus administration had felt this
aeed Of putting the department in
closer touch with the great farming
population Of the country, and this
desire was evidenced in the series of
popular and valuable Farmers Bull
etins."
But many of the most important
sctivities Of the department seldom
appeared IN these bulletins. More
over, bulletins appeared in populaf
form months and sometimes years be
'.re the government scientists had
ssa- important discoveries. The re-
ae as beer hat the drnartment ha
elea nine for special newspaper and
magazine writer's, who have come up-
~ these discoveries and put them in
popular, readable form.
secretary houston dL once IelL LHdt
the publication of the work of the de
partment should not be left TO this
system Of chance. Accordingly about
tWo months ago he announced an in
novation, and one which is already
proving Of great value. The depart
mcnt has undertaken the publication
II a weekly newspaper, which il
mailed TO the departments crop cor
respondents There is usually crop
correspondent in each township Of thf
United States.
In this newspaper week by weak
the department tells Of it's latest dis
coveries and publications. Secretary
Houston has become convinced that
the farmers Of the country generally
are unaware Of the great service
which the department is prepared u
render TO each one Of them indiYid
ually. Consequently, new feature
or series Of articles, has begun in tht
weekly bulletin, describing the work
Of the many bureaus Of the depart
ment, and how each one can be called
upon TO serve individual farmers. Th"
first article in this series deals with
the bureau Of plant industry, and TIL
phase Of it's work which deals with th'
control Of plant diseases.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-10-20

For instance, if a farmer finds that
some disease is affecting a crop and
he is unaware of its nature or its
cure, if there is any, he may send
specimens Of his afflicted plants to
laboratory of plant pathology. Here
the plants will be studied. If the dis
ease and its cure is known, the far
mer is apprised Of the fact by d.
rect letter. If it is an unknown dis
ease, the laboratory undertakes a
study of ii.
Any farmer may send to this bu-
reau collections of fungi found on
his farm. and the Cyperts will tell him
which ones are edible mushrooms and
which are poisonous toadstcols. This
bureau also institutes Guarantines
AGAINST plant diseases in other coun-
tries.
Any fruit grower can write directly
to this bureau Gnd receive advice on
the proper methods of curing fruit
diseases. Often the department has
cures for diseases believed incurable
by most fruit growers.
The department also stands ready
to give personal advice on the care If
forest trees, whether the inquirer be
the forester in charge of thousands
of shade trees in city parks, or a mill
hand who has a single shade tree in
his back yard. If the owner of even
a single tree finds that tree rotting,
he can write to the bureau of plant
industry and receive advice on how
to act as his own trees doctor.

Canal Builders and the Days Work

Canal Builders and the Days Work
! When the engineers Of the Panama
canal were asked to postpone the
blowing up of the Gamboa dixie last
Friday until such time as everyday
citizens in San Francisco and other
parts of the country should be out of
bed and ready to celebrate, they re-
piled that they would do nothing of
the kind They said that the blowing
up of the dixie was all in the days
work, and it took an. executive order
from Washington to make them sac
rifice few hours of working time.
In anyone else but those remark
able engineers such reply might
have seemed ungracious. But in them
as a matter of fact, it revealed the
very qualities which have brought
the canal so near a state of complet-
ion months ahead of the scheduled
time and hundreds of dollars beneath
the estimated cost. They were so in
| terested in getting their canal done
that they did not want to waste mo-
ment. Their way of celebrating was
not by making speeches or blowing
whistles-it was by turning to with
renewed energy and taking more dirt
out of the channel. Speech making
and noise-making was right and prop
er for us here in San Francisco; dig
ging was right and proper for the en-
gineers at Panama.
The spirit shown by those impatient
engineers must have brought smile
to the face of their chief at Washing
ton and a glow of pride to his heart,
even while he signed the order which
for few hours stayed their hands.
He must have been proud that they
were Americans, doing their work,
not for wealth or glory, but for the
common good and because they liked
it.
The lesson of the canal is that some
day, under a juster, wiser scheme of
things, all men will look to their tasks
as did these men at Panama. Then
will the days work be glorified,-

economic conditions and new uses for the soil.
 As a typical species of American fauna, the buffalo had his place in our history, but take him by and large, no adaptabiIity for civilization. He served his purpose on the plains when men led a nomadic life there and eX- isted on his rifle; but as soon as the range land, over which the buffalo "roamed in countless thousands" be- came fit for settlement, the buffalo was decidedly de trop.
 Very little of him was fit to eat. He was worth a bullet when there was no other meat to be had, but a people ac- custOmed to modern steaks and rOasts would find him not over appetiZing, once the novelty wore off In word the buffalo was economically unfit, and he went the way of the unfit. Had he been conserved, he might now be af- fording opportunity for big game hunt CTS to enjoy themselves in moderation. They are really the only persons who have suffered by his disappearance. To preserve the buffalo as a specimen in our zoos is proper. He is a curiosity and has a historical value. But en- tirely too many tears have been shed over his destruction. one steer was and still is worth a dozen bson.-Seat- tie Intelligencer
