MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu-
Iosis Is Being Carried on At
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
tiOnal Association for the Study and
Prevention OF tuberculosis show that
nearly 1900 agencies are now listed in
the fight against tuberculosis in the
United States, an increase of /. 600 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from a new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association.
The list includes 55T sanatOria and
hospitals, 15S tuberculosis boarding
houses. 90 hospitals for the insane and
% penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensarieS. 80 open air schools, and
1924 anti-tuberculosis associations
and committees To these are added
15S Canadian institutions and associa-
lions. making total Of 3,0S7. The di-
rectOry also gives a summary Of mu-
nicipal and state legislation on tnber-
culOSiS.
When the national association was
formed in 1904 and the first list Of
agencies was printed. only 1S3 orEani-
cations and institutions were found
The second edition OF the directory In
1905 reported 64e different agencies !;
and :, lao were listed in the third edi-
ton published in 1911. On the basis
of the latter figures. the number OF
agencies in the anti-tuberculOsis move
ment has increased 115 per cent in the
last five years.

there are white buttons, in several odd,

All the feminine world is running
after stripes, and those who weave
hats OF straw have governed them
selves accordingly. Wide-brimmed sun
hats and midsummer sailors are Of

black and white to the most vivid OF

Reservation Montana

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
The gradual but steady decline in
the carrying capacity OF native pas
lures presents a serious problem for
tile livestock industry. The aver
age carrying capacity OF the 100000,
600 acres of public lands outside of
the national forests, which are practi-
cally all used for grazing purposes, is
today estimated at % per cent less
than what it once was. The privately
owned pastures show the same de-
cline. On the other hand, the carrying
capacity of much of the unfenced
grazing lands within the national for
ests has been increased in recent
years by the adoption of what is
known as deferred grazing.
This system is explained in an arti-
Gle in the new Yearbook of the de-
partment of agriculture, Improve
ment and Management of Native Pas
lures in the West" This article gives
as the causes of pasture deterioration
Overstocking and premature grazing.
1t has been the general belief that if
stock came off the range in satisfac-
stocked. In the majority of cases,
however, this is not true. Animals
which are allowed to Craze the green
feed OF the choice forage plants near
" as fast as it grows may for the
time being get enough to eat, but to
rob the plants continuously of this
forage rObs them also of their labora-
tory for manufacturing plant food, and
they are gradually starved out of ex-
istence. In the course of five years or
so, the better forage plants are gradu-
ally reduced and their places taken by
less desirable grasses and weeds. The
condition of the stock, therefore, is not
in itself a safe wGy to judge whether
a range is Overstocked or not.
Premature grazing is injurious not
only because the vegetation, when soft,
is badly damaged by trampling, but be-
cause the plants are not allowed to
mature their seed In practice, some
part of the range must be grazed
early in the year. When deferred graz
ing is adopted, however, a part of the
range is set aside and the seed al
lowed to mature before the plants are
grazed.
Deferred grazing was first practiced
by the forest service OF the United
States department of agriculture in
studies on the depleted ranges of an
area in northwestern Oregon. An area
with One-fOurth the carrying capacity
required for a band of sheep for an
entire season was protected against
grazing until the important plants on
If had mofI1rad seed After which If
was heavily grazed. This caused the
sheep TO aid in planting the seed by
trampling it into the ground. The fol
lowing year the same area was again
protected until after seed maturity and

KANSAS NEEDS HARvESTERs
Federal Employment Bureau Sends
Out Call for Men to Help Handle
Wheat Crop.

a call of relief, an appeal for re-
cruits, has gone up to the country
from Kansas, and it is not a war call.
The demand that has been voiced
from the heart of America is for re-
cruits for the harvest fields; q call
upon unemployed men, young men on
their vacations and patriotic men pre-
pairing to join the United States
troops on the border. The call is for
them to save the Kansas wheat crop
and save it now. Just as imperative
is the entreaty as is the call to arms.
Both are important to the nation.
G. L. Green, in charge of the Kan
sas City branch of the Federal En-
ployment agency, has sent out the
Macedonian appeal with view to en-
listing more men to enter the Kansas
wheat fields and save the grain that
is fast ripening and ready for har-
vest. The government is using Mr..
Green's arguments in the literature
being sent out by the department Of
labor. His plea in the main is that
failure to harvest all the crop this
year will mean a loss of millions of
bushels of grain, a tremendous fnan-
cial loss to farmer, miller, merchant
and to the consumer, who will have to
pay more for what is harvested and
prepared for use.
The situation is critical, Mr.. Green
says, and the demand for wheat belt
labor is more urgent than in any prev
ious year. The calling of the state
troops to the colors has taken many
from the fields. The exceptional de-
mand for skilled and unskilled labor
both East and West has called many
others away from what usually is
their SINNERS windfaIl OF wages.
Kansas alone is from 10000 to $4,000
men short of it's required number for
the present harvest.

was then only moderately grazed. This
gave the Seeding plants from the first
years seed crop a chance to develop
good root system. By following this
course on each quarter of the range
in turn the entire area was reseeded
naturally without depriving the stock
Of the forage on any part of the range
in any year. The results obtained
under this plan were compared with
similar ranges grazed throughout the
season each year and with fenced
areas that were not grazed at all
1t was found that deferred grazing
resulted in a much greater reprOduc-
ton from seed than either Of the other
methods and that the production of
good forage species was particularly
great With lands totally protected
against grazing the seeds terminate On
the surface of the ground, but, not
being planted deeply, the root systems
of the resulting plants are unable to
reach the moist lower soil and the
plants die from drought later in the
season.
The principles of deferred grazing
are being applied to national forest
ranges as rapidly as possible, and the
results in practice bear out those Sc
cured experimentaIly. In the Year
! book article already mentioned, a pas
ture of 600 acres is taken for the pur-
pose of illustrating the practical ap-
plicatiOn of deferred grazing. This is
divided by cross fences into three COM
partments Of approximately 200 acres
each, arranged so as to give the best
distribution of water and shade. Be
ginning in 1916, No. 1 should be grazed
| first; No. . second; and No. not un-
til the important forage crops have set
seed. 1t may then be grazed heavily.
In 1917 area No. should be grazed
| first, area No. l second, and area No.
3 again protected until after seed ma
! turity, and then grazed moderately.
The following table shows the manage
ment of the three areas for a period
of seven years:

FARMER ARGUES FOR
CALVES IN AUTUMN
Every Condition Is Better for Dali
ryman Then-Young Animals
Get Better Start.

Here are some arguments that a
thoughtful farmer puts up for having
the cows freshen in the fall instead of
spring:
1.-THE fall calf usually gets a better
start in the world than the one that
arrives in the spring. The farmer
will have more time to take care of
the calves in winter than summer !;
the fall pastures are coming on, fur
nishing the COW an abundance of good
green stuff that produces a large milk
flow. The fail pastures are more nOur-
ishing than the spring grasses, owing
TO the fact that they do not contain so
much water. There are no flies or
heat to bother either the cow or calf,
and if dropped early enough the calf
will get a good start and learn to eat
well before cold weather sets in.
milk products are much easier
taken care of in winter than summer
and milk and butter prices are at
their best at this time"

By following this plan the various
portions Of the range will have not
only an equal chance to reseed, but
equal protection against grazing dur
ing the forepart of the growing sea-
son. Should one part of the pasture
be in greater need of building up
than another, it may be advisable to
vary the plan to secure a maximum

practicable. A knowledge OF the in
