place in the agricultural program of
the region. At present the hogs are
wild and beyond any control in the
brush, but the grades could be liz
proved and more care given, so that
swine ought to become class of live

The conclusion reached by the de-

set of great value, which at present is
not being used to anywhere near its.

NOISE

1t is claimed that hundreds and
hundreds of people die in New York
from the effect of noise. Tubercu-
losis, insanity, neurathenia, vocal pa
ralysis, insomnia and deafness, may
all be traced to the continual noise
nuisance
Mrs. Isaac L. Price, president of
the society for the Suppression of
Unnecessary Noises, wants to know
what are New Workers going to do
about it.
Mrs. Rice says:
"Apologists for noise say that those
who differ with them are nervous
cranks; that they imagine discom-
fort where noise exists that they are
the idle rich who would not hear the
noise if they had something to keep
their minds and bodies busy" said
Mrs. Rice, my numerous suffering
correspondents disprove the theory.
They are not the idle rich; they are
the toiling people; they have more
than enough to do. Many of them
never heard the words nervous in
valid but they say they are dying of
noise. When they claim that con-
slant noise is undermining their
health they are simply in accord with
the best medical science.
1.-THE ear, logically, should receive
most protection from the law, since
it is defenseless. We can use deodor-
izers against foul smells, we can close
our eyes to offensive sights; but our
ears must open to the most offensive
sounds
SIS it really the case" I asked Mrs.
Rice, that people in New York are
dying of noise?"
There is no question that unneces-
sary noise is the primal cause of many
deaths and of much disease and in
jury. Noise affects the public health
in two days. 1t prevents sleep, the
most wonderful of natures curative
and preventive agents. And the tor
ture of superfiuous noise leads to the
closing of windows and the hygienic
menace of impure air, that breeder
of tuberculosis"

BUY TEN MILLION YARDS or COT
TON CLOTH

Swift & Company, realizing fully
the position of the Southern farmer,
have adopted through their large fer
tilizer interests in the south a new
plan to relieve the cotton situation.
They are certainly doing their share
in helping the south by their large
consumption of cotton cloth.
Although already large users of cot
ton, cotton seed oil and other south
ern products, they are making this
year a special effort to increase the
use of cotton goods in all deartments
of their numerous plants.
Cotton bags, cotton sheetings, and
cotton coverings for meats are being
substituted for other material where
ever possible. An ordinary years re-
quirements for this firm amounts to
over ten million yeards, and with their
present Help the South" policy their
consumption of cotton goods will be
very largely increased.
one Item alone, that of using cot
ton instead of jute tankage press
cloths, has added 100000 yards to the
Swift consumption.
This is surely shot in the right
direction and one the south can fully
appreciate. We hope that their in
itative will start movement which
will become even more beneficial than
the Buy a Bale of Cotton" propa-
ganda.
We could stand more big corpora
tions imbueo with the public spirit
of Swift e Company.

NOT FOR BETTER OR WORSE"

Supreme Court Justice Blanchard
of New York, has handed down de-
cision that is destined to have an i'm
portant and far reaching bearing on
the rights of marriage in that he
annulled a marriage contract on the
ground that the husband was suffer
er from tuberculosis. 1t is the first
decision on this subject ever made
by the courts of New York, and a
careful search of the law books of
other states fails to reveal a similar
case.
Under this decision. it will be pos
sible, hereafter, to maintain in the
New York courts a suit for the an
nulment of a marriage where either
party was, before the marriage, af-
fiicted with tuberculosis and kept the
fact from the other party.
"As a general proposition" Judge
Blanchard says, ''any misrepresenta-
ton Of a material fact incidental to
the contract marriage is sufficient to
void it."

God Pasture Offered

The "balds' afford the best pasture;
they have enough timber for shade,
and should support a cow to every
two or three acres during the six
month period beginning May / and
ending October 80. Next comes the
hardwood forest on upper slopes and
ridges, where the timber is not very
dense and the grasses form a con-
siderable part of the forage. The
coves are generally better than the
main slopes, since they support bet
ter forage and can be used to better
advantage by the cattle. The spruce
type has but little forage and is neg
ligible as far as grazing is concerned.
For the most part the fountain
lands are we'll watered, but if they
are to be fully utilized for grazing the
department says it will pay to de-
velop all the small springs which are
near the tops of the ridges walling
them up, fencing them, and installing
troughs. Under present conditions
cattle on the ridges frequently have to
travel one or two miles to water. using
up energy that properly should go to
make beef, and in addition cutting
unnecessary trails.

Drawbacks to Sheep Grazing


So far as vegetation. water, and
topography are concerned the south
ern Appalachians are equally adapted
10 the grazing of sheep or cattle.
sheep would Craze closer than cattle,
but they prefer open aeras and would
not so completely utilize the range
held under fence. Reports indicate
that the number of sheep killed by
dogs is so great that there is not much
prospect of the industry becoming I'M
portant until the dog problem can be
solved.
If sheep grazing is contemplated
the bands should preferably be lifted
20 about 600 ewes with their increase.
and in no instance should exceed
1000 ewes. Further, if sheep are
handled under herding system the
establishment of permanent bed
grounds will be strongly discouraged
from the start. The practice of re-
turning sheep to one bedding ground
each night is very destructive to both
forage and tree growth, and the for
est service makes every effort to dis
courage the practice.
All things considered, however, the
grazing of cattle appears preferable to
that OF sheep. Sheep to be success
are said to require continuous atten-
ton; in addition to the dog problem
there is the difficulty of successfully
wintering the sheep. Cattle fit in
with the present agricultural methods
and do well, although the present
stock is too much of the milk breeds
to be of much value for beef produc-
ton: they are, however. in good con-
dition and demonstrate that the south
ern ranges offer splendid opportuni-
ties.
Swine Should be Improved
The question of swine grazing is
one upon which the forest service is
still seeking information. Swine. they
say. do some damage to trails and
young timber and pollute sources of
water supply. On the other hand.
they convert into valuable products
immense quantities of mast and roots
