That the effect that settlement of
public lands in the range states of
the west has had in reducing produc-
ton Of beef and mutton in that Sec
ton will be offset in the future by
other forces and that the meat output
should therefore slowly increase is
the opinion of specialists of the United
States department of agriculture This
opinion Is expressed In a report Of an
exhaustive study of the general meat
situation in the United States recent
ly completed. While other forces than
settlement of public lands have op-
Grated In the past to reduce cattle rails
Ing, 1t Is pointed out that these have
been more than compensated by the
fact that high prices have made the
raising of cattle increasingly profitable
and, by the growth of general agricul-
ture In the region, made possible the
feeding of Glttle in winter and graz
Ing on irrigated pastures and cultivat-
ed crops.
The prediction that this decrease
hereafter will give way to an increase
Is based upon the belief that the
amount of live stock on farms and
homesteads will be greater in the fu-
ture, that the stock ranges In the ma
donal forests will continue to improve,
that the carrying capacity of the stock
ranges on the public domain may be
increased by legal regulation and final
ly that high prices of range animals
and better methods will result in a
more efficient utilization of the availa.

Alfalfa For Fattenina Hogs.

Alfalfa hay and meal have been rec
ognized as valuable feeds to be used
in the ration for wintering brood sows,
and trials at the Nebraska station
have demonstrated the fact that they
are also valuable as supplements to
corn for fattening hogs However. be-
cause of its bulky nature alfalfa can
not be classed with high protein con-
centrate. like tankage, and unless 1t Is
very low in price and the tankage ex-
tremely high the latter Is the more
economical supplement to corn for fat
tening swine. The same trials above
referred to also demonstrated that 1t
does not pay to grind alfalfa for hogs.

4 In so far as Kansas is concerned,
points out Mr.. Thompson. Sudan grass
is adapted to practically all soils ex-
cept those which are very wet and
poorly drained or those which are ex-
tremely alkaline or sandy. Soil con-
ditions generally favorable to Sudan
grass are similar to those favorable
to the other sorghums. 1t yields best
in rich loan or to sandy loan soil
that is well drained. Thinner and
poorer soils necessarily produce lighter
yields. although Sudan grass. like the
other sOrghums, Is an extensive feed
er and Is one of the profitable crops on
thin, poor upland soils. Being ma
tive Of the hot. dry climate 1t is nntu
rally adapted to the relatively dry
conditions of western Kansas, and 1t
is in this part of the state that 1t will
prove of most value.
Sudan grass can be used readily In
any ordinary farm rotation. 1t Is an
annual and can be substituted in the
average rotation for corn or any other
sorghum crop. or it can be grown in
the longer rotations instead of the Pc
rennial hay or pasture grasses. 1t is
not a legume and will therefore not
add nitrogen to the soil, although
its extensive fibrous root system con
tributes to the supply of organic
matter. Careful study Of its moisture
requirements under field conditions
and examinations of the root system
at all stages of growth show that Su.
dan grass can draw moisture from
greater depths Of soil than millet. but
1t does not draw its moisture supply
from as great a depth as do the Ordi
nary sorghums

Clipping Pastures.

Clipping pastures after harvest was
found to result in more and better
grasses in survey of the Ohio ey
pertinent station in the southeastern
part of the state. The ripening of
weed seeds is prevented. and briars are
removed. so that clover and blue grass
may occupy the ground Usually there
are only a few places in the pasture
where moving machine cannot be
used. In such cases the scythe is
brought into play.

more than ~ per cent of the new set
tiers had more live stock than was
necessary to supply them with work
and milk animals. The situation in
this respect, however, was changing
even then, and the movement for the
production of more live stock may be
expected to continue because both
market and agricultural conditions
make this indispensable to really sue
cessful farming. The change will be
gradual, it is said, and only a few
head Of stock will be added to a farm.

SHEEP GRAZING ON NATIONAL FOREST.
but ultimately and in the aggregate the
increase will be greater than that
which is likely to be accomplished in
any other way. The problem for the
states and the national government, it
is said, is to aid in the change by
working out a system which will make
such agriculture profitable.
In addition to this increase in the
numbers Of farm stock, there is little
doubt that the carrying capacity of
the existing ranges can be greatly en-
larged. This has been demonstrated
in the national forests, where improv-
ed methods and regulation have in
creased the capacity of many ranges
from Is to 80 per cent. This process
should continue for at least ten years
more and should result in building up
the carrying capacity of the national
forests as a whole by perhaps Is per
cent.
If similar control could be exercised
over the public domain outside of the
forests it is estimated that the capac-
ity of these ranges could be increased
about 80 per cent About half Of this
would result from the improvement in
the range itself after overstocking and
premature grazing were prevented and
natural reseeding facilitated. The re-
mainder would follow water develop
ment, the construction of fences and
the introduction of methods of han
ding stock which are out of the ques-
ton as long as the improvement of con-
ditions on the range merely provides
an incentive for new men to crowd in
and undo by overstocking whatever
good has been accomplished. The car
rying capacity of these ranges has
greatly diminished in the past, and
under the present system there is no
reason for supposing that it will in
crease in the future.

A PROMINENT ATTORNEY
LEAVES FOR HENDERSON

1t is with much regret We learn
that Mr.. Ernest Woodward, one of
Hartford's foremost lawyers and
most popular citizens, will leave
about the first of August for Hen
derson, KY, where he has formed a
partnership with Mr.. G.. Givens Dix
on, son of the Circuit Judge down
there, for the practice of law at
Henderson under the firm name and
style of Woodward & Dixon. The
firm will practice law in Henderson,
Webster, Ohio, Breckenridge, Meade
and Hardin counties. Mr.. Wood
ward will continue to represent the
l.. q n. and L., H. & st. l.. railroad
companies in Ohio county and the
L.. II. & st. l.. in Meade, Brecken-
ridge and Hardin counties.
Mr.. Woodward has for a number
of years been an honored and much
appreciated member of the bar here,
and it is with sincere regret that
Hartford gives him and his estimable
little family up. Going as he does
among absolute strangers, we have
investigated and found out some few
points in his business activity here,
and we feel that it is due these peo-
pie who do not know him, that they
should know these incidents of his
life.
Mr.. Woodward was admitted to
the bar in 1899 when twenty-one
years of age. Since that time he
has defended, or assisted in defend
ing, twenty men charged with MUIR
der, and no man ever defended by
him received a death sentence, and
only one was ever given a life term
in the penitentiary. This man was
released from the penitentiary with
in less than six years. Mr.. Wood
ward has been engaged in many of
the important cases in this section
of the State, in both the State and
Federal courts, and was successful
in relieving Ohio county from a ten
thousand-dollar judgment. rendered
against it by Judge Evans. He had
charge of that defense and argued
that case before the Circuit Court
of Appeals under employment by
Ohio county. He was a candidate
for Office but once in his life, and
was then elected County Attorney
by the largest majority ever given,
before or since, to any candidate of
any party in Ohio county, in either
a county. State or Federal election.
Mr. Woodward's wife is at present
president of the Women's Club, and
he will retain his business interests
here and will remain vice president
of the Kentucky Light & Power Co.
We bespeak for Mr.. Woodward
the same-even more-success in
his new field of labor that he has
so abundantly achieved and so
merited here.
