Lightning Damage

An extensive study of lightning
 damage in western yellow pine
 was completed during this field
 season. The damage on a total
 of 1,255 trees was recorded by
 field officers. The results of this
 study bear out European lnvesti-
 gators who hold that tall trees
 are most llable to be struck. In
 the case of western yellow pine,
 but B per cent of the trees struck
 stood below the dominant canopy.
 No trees were struck whose dla- meter outside the bark measured less than II inches and over 90 per cent of the trees struck were 15 inches and over. The study proved that the damage from lightning is unusually severe. Out of the 1,255 trees enumerat- ed, 36 per cent were killed out right and "A per cent were left in a dying condition, which shows that six tenths of all the timber damage IS killed outright or will die. The conclusions reached in this study are that tall yellow pine of large dimensions are most liable to damage. without any ap- parent dependence upon topo- graphy. The study is of practi- cal application and if people will take ordinary precautions. there should be practically no death from lightning. Those who work in yellow pine forests will be practically free from danger If they will take refuge during thunder storms under clumps of small black jack saDIings instead of under mature yellow pine, as is so often the case. Many of the deaths from lightning. parti- in the case of sheep her ders, have been due to failure to observe this simple rule.

Fat cattle trade is still under the handicap of frequent quarantine changes, which makes Eastern killers cautious buyers, fearing a sudden change in rules might tie up their shipments enroute, How ever, big New York and other killers bought cattle here freely all last week, and helped very much to sustain prices. Muddy feed lots. and the tagging con- dition of the fat cattle market are causing feeders to cut loose and take losses, a tendency that aggravates the weakness of the market situation.

for buyers. Cows and butcher grades are not as weak as steers to-day, though they have been following the steer market close ly. Several shipments of Colo rado beef steers sold to-day at $7. 35 to S7. 75. and Colorado feed CTS brought S7.15 to $7. 40. Qua rantine receipts were 15 cars, in- cluding medium weight steers at $6.25 to $6.9O. and some steers weighing 1121 pounds at $7.OO. Good North Texas cake fed steers sold freely last week at $7.O5 to $7.30. Stockers and feeders are steady to-day, steers largely at $6. 75 to $7.50, several droves of young stock COWS at $6.1 to $6, 25.
 A feature here for a week has been prices 10 to 20 cents above Chicago and St. Joseph, and 15 to 30 cents above Omaha, on ac- count of superior order buying demand here. New fast stock train schedules, saving "A hours on shipments to most Eastern points, were put in effect out of Kansas City last week, which stimulates order buying here. Sheep and lambs opened steady to-day, but the close was 10 lower Receipts were 8200 here, and heavy at other markets, and it was on account of lower prices elsewhere that salesmen had to make concessions here. Lambs sold at $9. 40 to $9. 80, ewes up to $7.75. best yearlings worth S8 90 wethers $8, feeding lambs $8. 75. Kansas City will have light re- celpts of sheep and lambs balance of the season for fed stock, and will offer quite an inducement to shippers is that respect over the up river markets.
