Put Ban on Eastern Cattle

Joint agreement with the states OF
Oregon, Idaho, California, Utah and
Nevada has been ratified by the advis-
DRY board of the state department OF
agriculture, by which these states and
Washington agree to prohibit all impor-
tations of cattle, sheep and swine from
eastern and middle western states, to
keep the Pacific Coast free from the
foot and mouth disease, which has re-
cured in the east.
Commissioner of Agriculture H. I.
Graves, who originally entered into the
agreement with commissioners from the
other states named at San Francisco,
declares one effect OF the agreement
will be that live stock men Of Wash
ington will be given an excellent
chance to compete for the prizes Of
fered by the San Francisco exposition
management, with no danger either Of
competition from cattle from eastern
stock shows, or of foot and mouth dis
ease infection.

LAUNCHING A VESSEL.
A Matter of Mathematics, With Vast
Amount of Calculation.

A Matter of Mathematics, With vast
Amount of Calculation.
The launching of a vessel is prima-
rily matter of mathematics. In a
ship of immense size 1t calls for vast
amount of calculation before the first
step is taken in the actual work
In the first place, the specific gravity
of the vessel must be figured out so as
to allow for the various strains to
which the hull is subjected on its slant
ing journey into the water, with its
sudden plunge as the bow drops from
the ways.
An enormous amount of data must
be collected to fix this center of grav-
ity. The weight of all the material
that has gone into the vessel up to
the time of the launching, the distri-
button of this weight, the weight Of
chains and anchors and other material
placed on board preparatory to the
launch must all be considered.
When the center of gravity is fixed
the successful shipbuilder knows just
how to build his launching ways and
just where to strengthen them. He
knows then by little calculation how
long each part of the vessel will be
subjected to certain strains and how
best to prepare for them. He can fig
ure almost to the second how long
the ship will be in sliding into the wa

UNCLE SAM HELPS Till
FARMER AND FRUITGROWER
Postal Gard Brings Reliable Help and In
formation on Almost Every
Problem

When the farmer wishes advice re-
garding practical methods of dealing
with insect pests he may obtain the
same without any expense other than a
postal card. This should be addressed
TO the Bureau OF Entomology, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c. More than $50
skilled investigators of insects are en-
ployed in this branch of the depart
ment actively engaged in studying the
habits Of harmful pests, examining and
trying out possible remedies, and in
passing on this information to the indi-
viduals most in need of it.
Not only does the Bureau Of Ento-
mology give information regarding the
determination OF we'll known insect
foes, but it can usually identify pests
unknown to the sender and recommend
a remedy. In this case specimens
must be sent by the person desiring
the information. The best way to
send most insects is in living condi-
ton with a supply Of food in strong
wooden box, although they may be
sent in alcohol in a mailing tube. By
preference the experiment station or
agricultural college nearest the farmers
locality should be applied to first, as
more particular and intimate knowl-
edge may be obtained regarding the
present activities of the undesirable in
sect. The bureau at Washington,
however, also answers such inquiries,
its particular sphere being to deal with
such pests as are doing injury over
larger areas than represented by sin
gle state.
Harmful insects are not the only
ones about which information may be
had by writing to the departments
Bureau of Entomology or the various
experiment stations in the states. If
some strange looking creature arouses
the farmers curiosity he may write to
headquarters and learn as much as is
known about it. No return postage
need be enclosed.
A general idea of the scope of the
departments bureau may be gained
from this list OF its Offices dealing with
insects attacking special crops:

is being gathered on large number
of orchard insect pests at present Of
minor importance in the United States
and should these pests at any time be-
come dangerous the information will
be Immediately available.
Cereal-Insect Investigations. - Such
dangerous creatures as the Hessian fly,
the corn-leaf aphis, cutworms, root
worms, wireworms, army worms, and
the white grub are having their fields
of action greatly limited by the activi-
ties OF this office.
ForageInsect Investigations. Pests
infesting alfalfa, clover, soy beans,
cowpeas, etc., are OF interest to this
office.
There also are specialists detailed to
help the grower OF such truck crops as
potatoes, onions. spinach, tomatoes,
melons, cucumbers, beans, peas and
lettuce. Sugar-beet pests receive spe-
cial attention. Even the busy pests
that seek out agricultural products after
they are stored are fought by other
specialists, who make up special
office devoted to this purpose. New
methods of sterilizing such products
are being devised as we'll as for making
insect-proof cartons and containers for
cereals and dried fruits.

COURT OF INQUIRY
FINALLY ADJOURNS TODAY.
Result Goes Forward to Washington
Where Decision Will be Made Known
Later.

AT 10.45 a. m. today the Court of
inquiry, of which Capt Samuel r.
Russell was president, and which has
been in session at the Naval Academy
since June 2, adjourned.
The findings of the court will go for
ward to Washington and the result
will be made known from the Navy
Department
Other members of the court besides
President Russell, were Commander
S. r. DeStegeur and Commander A. #.
Long, with Commander W. C. Watt as
Judge advocate
The court was convened to probe
the "crihbing" of examination papers
with which seven midshipmen were
charged, and had been recommended
for dismissal by the Naval Academy
authorities.
The lawyers here to look after the
interests of the accused students were
Congresmen G. G. Carlin, and James
Hay, of Virginia, Judge Harrison, of
Chicago, whose son, T. w. Harrison,
of the second class, was among those
implicated, and Robert Moss, of this
city, in behalf of his son, James E.
Moss, third class, also among those
recommended for dismissal.
The sessions of the court covered
some six weeks, and the testimony of
witnesses was voluminous, and is said
to have filled five thousand pages OF
typewritten copy.
All of this had TO be reviewed. as
well as the argument at the close OF
the court, which finally adjourned al
quarter of eleven this morning.
The result will probably be made
known from Washington in the next
few days.
During the investigation by the court
of inquiry it was developed that haz.
ing is still in progress at the Nava'
Academy and a second court was con.
vened to probe hazing, and is still in
session, sitting eight hours daily.
