TO ERADICATE CATTLE TICKS
Department of Agriculture Will Co.
Operate With State or County
Authorities in Battle.

Ticks take as much as 200 pounds
of blood year from a 1-000-pound
steer; cut the milk production of
COWS nearly so per cent; reduce the
home price Of meat animals from one
half to one cent a pound; prevent
bankers from lending money to pro-
mote the 1.-Two stock industry; keep
down fertility and production OF
farms; and make the southern farm
ers pay $4,000 year to supply the
never-ceasing barbecue of blood"
Thus Carl Vrooman, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture of the United
States, remarked in telling of the new
tick campaign the government has
started.
dip the tick" is the slogan which
the department of agriculture has
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1916-05-05

adopted for a special campaign against
the cattle tick. Blazoned in big let
tiers this legend will stand out in star
Ting relief upon a two-colored poster
which the department proposes to dis
play in every post Office in the tick-in-
tested country.
1T costs less than so cents a head
to dip the cattle of county and free
that county from quarantine" Mr..
Vrooman said, "and enable it's cattle
to compete with free cattle at the
stockyards But before the ticks can
be cleaned from county the people
in that county by themselves or with
the aid of the state, must build dip
ping watts which cost from $50 to S109
each, and must supply arsenic, which
costs about five cents per head, to
make the arsenical bath that kills the
ticks. The people must then join in
seeing that every steer or COW is
dipped sufficient number of times
to kill all the ticks infesting the cat
tie, and prevent the seed ticks in the
grass from finding new boarding
house."
The department will cooperate with
a county that is ready to dip ticks by
sending its expert Geld men to super
wise the building Of watts, to prepare
the arsenical BATH and to take charge
of the dipping Of cattle. The people
OF county and state, however have
to provide the small amount of money
for the actual dipping.

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Impossible to Keep Animals Fleece
Dry If Not Given Some Protection
During the Winter.

1t was formerly quite generally
thought that the sheepla wool afforded
it all the protection necessary during
the winter. If the fleece could be kept
dry 1t probably would retain enough
body heat to keep the sheep warm,
but this is impossible without shelter
When fleece once becomes wet it
takes long time for it to dry out,
especially if the weather is cold.
Much energy that would otherwise
be used for growth or fattening must
be used for evaporating this water.
The wet fleece also gives rise to I'M
healthy conditions.
In Great Britain little housing is
necessary, but in most places in Amer
lea this would result in severe losses.

CORRECT FEEDING OF SWINE
One Scientist Gives voIuminous Fig
ures, While Another Says Let
Porkers Suit Themselves.

A well-known scientific research pro
lessor spent years in experimentation
to ascertain the correct amounts of
protein carbohydrates and water to
feed hogs of varying ages.
He formulated voluminous feeding
tables for farmers to follow that would
cause the average feeder to lie awake
nights to decipher.
Now comes another investigator
who produces better weights and bet
ter profits with hogs by simply allow
ing the porkers to feed and water
themselves just as their tastes die
tate.

Presidents Business

Washington, July 1S.-Pacific coast
senators today were defeated IS to As
in an attempt to provide by amend
ment to the general naval bill that
three of the proposed capital ships be
maintained permanently on the Pa
cific coast.
Senators Works, Phelan and Jones

which Works was the anthor. Senators

ers of the administration, insisted that

ment Of the constitutional powers of
the president as commander in chief
of the army aid navy.
All three coast speakers pointed out
that there is now no first class battle
ship on the Pacific coast despite threat
ened danger from Japan.
"The next battle the United States
fleet may fight" said Senator Phelani
"may be on the Pacific ocean. If SC
the United States has not single first

Think the Strike Is
As Good As Settled

Portland, Ore, July 1s.-Striking
longshoremen in Portland expected to
take action on the proposition OF re-
turning to work ON the wage scale pre-
vailing before the strike, when word
from San Francisco was received. w.
d. Wells, Portland agent of the San
Francisco and Portland Steamship com.
pany, declared he had been informed
the strikers would resume work for his
organization at the old figure-50 cents
an hour straight time and rs cents an
hour for overtime.
Thomas McCusker, of the employers
association, asserts he believes the
strike is as good as settled. McCucker
said he would insist on retaining the
men employed during the trouble, and
that he would reserve the right to Sc.
lect his own employees in the future.
The strikers representatives say that
if they return to work at the old scale
it will be merely pending conference
in San Francisco August !.

RAILROADS WANT LAW
HELD UP FOR A TIME
Clayton Antitrust Law and
Threatened Strike Cause
Business Crisis

Washington, July 1S.-Personal ap.
peal to President Wilson for assistance
in what they term Cuisines crisis,
will be made by representatives of the
big railroads tomorrow.
Confronted on the one hand by pro-
visions of the Clayton antitrust ac:,
which thev claim are nazy and compli-
Gated, and ON the other by the threat
of 100000 railway workers to strike
unless granted shorter hours and more
paw, railroad officials declare their sit
uation is serious.
The president will be asked in the
first place to suggest a delay in the
effective date of the Clayton act s
provision, which governs the purchase
of supplies by the roads, until the
railroad officials and the interstate
commerce commission "have had op-
portunity to study it," This is to go
into effect in few weeks unless the
congress delays it.
The four great train men brother
hoods are voting ON whether or not to
strike. Some administration officials
say anything which would tie up the
railroads of the country at this time
would be a calamity. 1t is likely the
railroad officials when they see the
president tomorrow will take up this
question along with the other. They
desire either that their men submit
their claims to arbitration or an in
vestigation of railroad wages by the
interstate commerce commission, or by
a congressional committee.

Chautauqua Closes
Season This Evening

With the appearance of the Kaffir
boy choir at the Salem Chautauqua tent
this evening, the 1916 season closes and
with the closing of the season comes
the assurance that the Salem Chautau-
qua is permanent Salem institution.
Instead of the customary asking for
pledges and having people sign agree
ments to take a number of tickets a
year hence, whether wanted or not at
that time, body of representative
citizens has taken the matter in
charge and has already guaranteed to
Ellison-White the amount necessary for
the 1917 season. Therefore, those at
tending tonight will not be presented
with the necessity of each and every one
signing pledge for tickets. There will
be no pledges to sign nor solicitation.
The Chautauqua for next season is al
ready guaranteed.
With the amount, 1880, already
guaranteed by so representative citi-
bzens, the method of handling season
tickets will be somewhat different next
year. The 600 tickets to be sold at
$3.50 each will be placed for sale at
several stores week before the open
ing of the Chautauqua and general no.
tice be given. After the 600 have been
sold, the sale will be withdrawn and
no more offered. After the beginning of
the season, tickets may be purchased
at the tent for SO.
The following have signed the guar
antee and will have charge of the busi.
ness of the Chautauqua for the com
ing season:

OPPOSE COLLEGE MERGER

Portland, Ore, July 1s.-The move
ment to merge Pacific university at
Forest Grove with Albany college at
Albany, Ore, into Presbyterian insti-
tuition has aroused marked opposition
on the part of Congregational churches.
Practically all the Congregational
churches Of Portland and the state held
meetings after the morning services
Sunday and adopted resolutions on the
proposed merger, and discussed what
measures they would take to prevent
Pacific university from becoming a
Presbyterian school.
Pacific university was founded by
the Congregationahsts September 4,
1S4S, and has been nurtured by them,
except for help that a few of the other
denominations have given il from time
to time. Eight years ago the school
was made nonsectarian, with the full
consent of the trustees. This the Con.
gregationalists are heartily in favor Of,
and also they agree to the consolida-
tion of Albany college and Pacific
university on an absolute nonsectarian
basis.

Merger Plan Fails

st. Paul, Mimi, July 1S.-Prohibi-
tonists who came to ST. Paul one day
in advance of the opening of their ma
tional convention hoped against hope
today that their predicted merger with
dry elements of other parties could be
accomplished. Up to the opening of
the "get together conference today
at which scores of prominent bull
moose, dry democrats and dry republi-
cans had been expected, there were on
ly handful of other party represent
atives here.
National Chairman Hinshaw and
other prohibition leaders sought to
round up all the bull moose in sight
and found one, Col, j. M. Ingersoll, OF
Idaho, progressive national committee
man from his state, who is strongly in
favor of merging the bull moose with
the prohibitionists.
Col. John NJ. Parker of Louisiana
progressive nominee for vice president
was reported today to have turned the
same kind of cold shoulder toward tnt
drys as did Henry Ford. Telegram,
from New Orleans today indicated thai
Parker had refused under any circum
oluhVto " NC plohipitioh cdhuiuat'
for vice president.
At the get together conference ora
tory was to be free and unlimited. De
eeates, including hundreds of womeI
who had spent sleepless nights in ho
hotels, found the hall just as hot wheI
thev arrived and prepared to taxi
plenty of fans to the convention hall
Disappointment at failure of otne
party chieftains to arrive was echoed
early today in statements by SOM
prohibitionists that they. would figh
any move to change the name Of thu
party.
"If we can t adopt the bull moos,
orphan, what's the use of changing
our name to the progressive-prohibitiol
party - was their line of reasoning.
The race for presidential nomination
seemed to have narrowed down to tw'
today. Former Gov. Eugene N. Fos
Of Massachusetts, it was reported, hat
deci.ed not to run. j. Frank Hanly
former governor of Indiana, and vii
liam Sulzer, former governor of New
York, were the active candidates.
