CROPS and
EXPORTS CAUSE
HIGH GRAIN PRICE

Washington, Nov. 17.--With an
increase OF $50 per cent In exports
Of meats since the outbreak Of the
war, and with a constantly greater
proportion Of her grain crops leaving
the country, America is assuming an
even greater share Of the burden Of
feeding stricken Europe.
This. in the wake Of short crops.
Is given by government officials q
one Of the foremost reasons for high
prices on fpodstuffs.
During the first eight months Of
this year. ending September /. the
United States has shipped abroad
more than $200.00O.0 worth Of
meats and dairy products. This
presages total expectation OF these
products for the year OF nearly q
third of a billion dollars.
During the same eight months
period Of 1914. just preceding the
outbreak OF the war. the exports to
tailed but $50. .OO0, 900.
Even with season OF unusually
poor crops in practically every grain
the United States has contributed 4
greater share this year., proportions
ately. than at any time during the
period Of the war, and ever before
in its history. Expectation Of the
six major grains--wheat. corn. bar.
ley. rye, oats and buckwheat-thus
far has approximately doubled since
1914.
+. Shipments OF vegetables abroad
also have jumped by leaps and
bounds. During the eight month
period of this year, $11.75S.2Si
worth OF vegetables have left Ameri
can ports, against s7.911,21s lasi
year and s5.413.271 in 1914--a rise
Of more than one hundred per cent
during the war.
The American hen also has been
called upon to do her bit. Against
an expectation OF $2.ll7,ooo in the
first eight months of 1914, the United
States has shipped $3.50. 1000 worth
OF eggs during the like period this
year.

COMMON TAPEWORM IN LAMBS
Not Believed That They Are Respon-
sIbIe for Many Deaths of Animals,
Says Western Expert.

(By l. f. NEwSOM. Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
The common tapeworm of lambs Is
one that has a habit Of getting into
the duct leading from the liver, and
for this reason many who have exam
ined sheep, dead of disease, have sus-
pected the tapeworm of causing the
death. 1t might be well to state that
more than 60 per cent Of all western
lambs have these tapeworms, as evil
denced by finding them on the kill
ing floors at the large packing houses.
While 1t must be admitted that in a
few instances they may cause some
trouble, yet it is not believed that they
are responsible for many of our lamb
losses.
horse disease some man unfamiliar
with the normal conditions in horses
for the first time found Palisade
worms in the abdominal arteries of
dead horses. He at once jumped at
the conclusion that these worms were
responsible for the disease. Had he
known that approximately 95 per cent
Of all horses have these same worms,
his reputation might not have suffered.
1t is rather common for veterinarians
to diagnose tapeworms in dogs, and in
about 95 per cent these diagnoses are
correct, but that the tapeworms in
these animals are responsible for dis
ease is not at all evident, except in q
very small percentage of cases. So 1t
is with these tapeworms in lambs.
They can always be found in posting
any large number of animals, but that
they are responsible for any serious
disease is evident only in few cases.
