reasons for war prohibition there are a. number of specific reasons, ana among them you name food conserva- tion. the diversion of grain from alco- hoI to food; the freeing of cold-stor- age plants of breweries for food stor- age: the diversion of labor from the nroduction of alcoholic beverages to military or industrial purposes, etc.
 Tn response, let me ask if you would make the same contentious Tn favor of prohibiting the manufacture and the production of tobacco. and if not why not?
 eff the food crisis is so great as you depict, why should thousands of acres of good land, andS why should thous- ands of laborers be employed in rais- ing tobacco and in misunderstanding it into cigars. chewing tobacco. etc?
 why should not the government compel the utilization of this land, or of this labor, in the production of wheat and corn?
 What good purpose. may I ask, does tobacco serve?
 "Alcbhol may save a life. but would you contend that tobacco is valuable, even as medicine?
 Now, E do not believe in prohibiting tobacco any more than I believe in prohibiting whisky, wine or beer. but I cannot see how, as an economic pro- position, you can make the contention you do in regard to alcohol without applying it just as forcibly to tobacco, and to the grain used in making starch. and to the saccharine used in making candies, etc.
 s.Futrh I wonder if you can justify prohibiting the use of grain for the making of liquors in this country and at the same. time permitting the exportation of grain for the making of liquors in Europe?
 You speak of nationwide prohibi- ton as 1.-the fiat of law would imme- diately reyolutionize the habits of mankind, but in view of the fact that with a tax of only $1.10 a gallon be- tween lawful manufacture of whisky at the present time and the illicit manufacture of same our government is unable to cope with the n,oonshin- ing business, what probability is there that, if theymoonshiner had no com petition at all from lawful manufac- turers nroonshine distilleries would the country, in cellars along Broad
  Ia few squares of the nations capitol at Washington ~
 What does history tell us happened in the sixties when the government undertook to levy a heavy tax on whisky of $2 per gallon? Was the gov ernment successful, or did the illicit manufacturers underbid her?
 '.Presuming that illicit manufacture would supply the demand for liquors if national prohibition obtained, what advantage would accrue either to the government or to the people? The people would get very inferior liquor The government would lose an inn mense revenue, and it would certainly require a vast army of government agents, men who are strong, brave and alert, if the prohibition law should even be enforced in part.
 ''In your efforts to advance the cause of prohibition you have depart ed, it seems to me- from the high re- gard for exactness of statement that should characterize the. utterances of man in your position, and you seem to speak, not as a philosopher, not as 8 cold logician, but as 2 partisan, as

TESTING OF
DAIRY COWS
Cow Testing Associations
Have Proved To Be
Profitable

Increases of from SO to SIS and
in some cases much higher in the
annual profits from each dairy COW
have universally resulted from the
organization of cooperative cow
testing associations in different parts
of the United States. The expense OF
membership in these associations on
the other hand has been only about
$3.50 per cow per year. The organ
izations therefore have been very
profitable.
Because of the great and obvious
economic advantages arising from
the associations the organizations
are one of the most important fac
tors for the upbuilding and the de-
vei0pment of the dairy industry in
this country. Such an organization
consists generally of twenty-siX far
mers, living within a radius of few
miles, who cooperate to hire an ex-
pert tester to keep accurate accounts
of the amounts and cost of feed con-
sumed by each COW in the associa-
ton, the quantity of milk produced
by each and its richness in butter
fat.
These statistics usually reveal the
fact that some cows are not produc-
ing enough to pay for their keep,
while others are highly profitable.
Acting on this information the own
err of the cows disposes of the least
desirable of his animals and makes
his herd exclusively of those which
produce a considerable profit.
The membership of the association
is placed at 26 so that the tester
can make a complete round each
month ,devoting one work day to
each member, and that he may keep
his records on a monthly basis. II
has been found by careful expert
ments that the averages based upon
lmonthly tests do not vary more than
IL per cent from the production, as
shown by daily observations. Since
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-11-24

the tester is an expert and can make
the necessary tests and computations
rapidly land since he can be depend
ed on to make his observations in
dependently of pressure of work on
the individual farm, the owners of
dairy cows find it cheaper and more
satisfactory in many cases to have
their testing done through the as
ISOLATION than to undertake to do IL
themselves.
There are now nearly $50 cow
testing associations in the United
States, 1876 having been added dur
ing the last year. These associa-
tons have an aggregate member
ship of 5000 farmers owning ap-
proximately 10000 cows.
The COW testing association origi.
mated in Denmark in 1895 and the
first of the organizations in this
country was formed in Michigan in
1906. Because of the value of the
associations to the dairy industry Of
the country the United States De
partment of Agriculture is stimulat
ing interest in them and is assisting
farmers in their organization.
Another and somewhat similar
line of cooperative work which /,
being encouraged by the department
for the improvement of dairying ant
cattle raising is the formation o.
bull associations. The function o.
these organizations is to make avail
able, at slight expense, the services
of purebred bulls for the herds o
the associated farmers. 1t has beer
found that often the total value o
the scrub bulls owned by farmers Il
sufficient to supply through a bull
association purebred bulls for thu
herds of all. A number OF blocks
of the association members are form
ed and a purebred bull placed il
each. The bulls are shifted ever!
two years to prevent in-breeding.
A considerable proportion of thu
nearly % millions cows in the Unit
ed States are too inferior to produce
profitably. Where the bull associa
lions, have been formed the grade o
the stock has been raised apprec

BARRY THINKS RED SOX

Catching on the Boston club is atroci-
Gus. from big league standpoint.
Neither Cady nor Thomas is a capable
receiver for a team of Boston's stand
ing. while Sam Agnew. a really high
class receiver. a hard hitter. and an ex-
cellent man at throwing to the bases. is
doing bench duty
Last year. when the worlds series
drew near Thomas was picked out for
some exceptional praise. It was declar-
ed for him that he would develop some
day into the same steady, consistent
catcher as Carrigan. With this strength
the hose were figured strong in the
catching department.
The loss Of Carrigan however, let
Thomas down with a bump. Cady never
has shown anything more than an abili-
ty to get his hands on the ball when
il came near.
The best pitching staff in the world
wouldn't deliver the goods when the
catchers are unable to handle them
right. This IS the main reason for the
success of pitcher after pitcher who
