ready gone. Soon there will be none
left OF the old guard of the road de-

through. Widemann was the only man
out of the crowd who resigned. He

of Guy H. Tuttle to succeed II. H.

gus to succeed Carl Wfdemann as
chief clerk Then, discussing re-
trenchment in. the road department,
he told of Richardson's discharge by
Fred Meyer, the Waianae road over
seer, and declared that his place
would not be filled. Richardson was
a road luna.
News of the dismissal of Bright and
Oliveira came next This was declared
a retrenchment measure, but mas
much as Bright and Oliveira both have
been talking loudly about the faults
of the administration, it might be pos
sible that it is well-directed retrench-
ment .- '..:- ...:s.-.
Clark will also be through at the
end of the month, Collins said. Jones
has not vet been notified that his con.

but there has been so little money to

CONDUCTS FEED EXPERIMENTS
College Of Agriculture Finds Stunted
Steers Can Be Made to Grow.

Highmark, College of Agriculture
Hereford steer that won a blue rib
bon at the State Fair at Sedalia last
year, was born on the same day as an
other well-bred Hereford.
Highmark was fed for maximum
development. When two years old he
weighed 1,610 pounds, and shortly
afterwards won the prize. The other
animal was fed the minimum amount
of food required for life He weigh
ed 361 pounds when 2 years old.
The object of the experiment with
the stunted animal was to find out
what permanent effect stunting an
animal would have on its subsequent
development.
A stunted animal raised under con-
ditions similar to those mentioned
above was later fed a full ration and
gained weight rapidly. The College
Of Agriculture has gone far enough
with the experiment to find out that
an animal does not lose its capacity
to grow as a result of stunting
This experiment has demonstrated
that it is sometimes possible for a
farmer to feed wheat straw and corn
stover or silage to beef animals, even
,hough these are not ideal materials
to produce maximum of rapid growth,
