MORAN STRONG BACKER
OF MERGER MOVEMENT
Former Commerce Chamber Head
Would Have Headquarters Building.

That the Forward WASHINGTON move
ment will be best advanced by a merger
OF all the trade bodies of the District and
the construction Of a modern building to
cost AT least 100000 as a headquarters,
Is the opinion expressed by p T.. Moran.
former president of the Chamber of
Commerce, 'ast night
Friday night will mark a notable point
in the Forward Washlngton'' campaign.
with a meeting of the 400 old and new
members OF the Chamber at the Ebbitt
House and S three-minute speeches from
business and professional men,
The three-minute program will be
strictly followed. for any orator en-
croaching over the allotted time will be
gently reminded to ring on by the
sounding of a large electric gong con-
trolled by the chairman.
Nine new members were added to the
roster yesterday. They are C. c. Cal
houn, Isadore CHASER, Richard F. c.
Barber, J. B. Branigan, Ned Lbesles.
Arthur ]. MAXWELL C. r. MiIliman,
Charles H. Cross and Henry s. Adler
and Son.
Mr.. Moran. in advocating a consoli-
dation of all the trade bodies, said
that the matter would probably be
brought up for formal discussion by the
Chamber of Commerce at its meeting
on June IL.
Stronger influence on Congress.
I cannot say how strongly I endorse
the plan Of bringing the various bust
ness organizations together" he said.
Personally have been advocating such
action for several years. I am pleased
to see the suggestion take life again.
and trust that it viii crystallize into
definite action.
"One large central body representing
the entire business life OF the city would
have far more influence with Congress
than two or three, each representing
only particular part Of the commu-
nifty"
Apart from that. a merger would be
great stimulus to increased member
ship. As 1t is at present many business
men neglect to affiliate with business
bodies because they do not wish to Join
them all and are undecided which one to
join. AS consequence they do not join
any and their influence and interest is
lost. With one large body hundreds of
these men would affiliate and am con-
hdent that we would soon have a mem
bership list upwards of 5000
''I have no issue with those who op-
pose this proposed merger. but I am glad
that The Washington Herald has become
interested in the matter and am salts
fed II you push II with your customary
vigor the consolidation will soon be a
reality"

might lead to compaction and death
even in dry cows and heifers. Some
grain is needed in every dairy ra-
ton"
This dairy specialist also declares,
"Choice alfalfa hay at $50 ton is
cheaper than bran at $50. Our expert
ments show that soybean hay is in the
same class as alfalfa, and clover is
third. With corn at 81 bushel, Glow
er hay should be worth about $50 a
ton, or IS more than it is now quot
ed"
Timothy hay is recommended for
milking cows only in small quantities
to replace such grains as corn and
hominy. Leguminous roughages have
proved far superior in numerous eX-
periments to timothy for COWS in
milk.

HOW TO RID SHEEP OF WORMS

Sheepmen having flocks infested
with stomach worms and tapeworms
may free the animals of such pests by
treatment before turning out to
spring pasture. For this purpose a
drench of copper sulphate has been
found most satisfactory in the fiocks
at the Ohio experiment station.
Two fluid ounces Of solution made
by dissolving an ounce OF copper sui
phate (blue vitrioD in two quarts of
water is sufficient for a yearling, and
a twoyear-old sheep needs three fluid
ounces. A long-necked bottle or a
rubber tube and funnel may be used
TO give the dose Most effective re-
suits follow when the sheep are fast
ed for a day both before and after
treatment. Water should not be Civ
en- for a few hours preceding and fol-
lowing the dosing.
Digestive disturbances, poor appe-
tite, loss of flesh and general weak
ness indicate the presence of worms.
Lambs are most seriously affected,
the experts say. Kidding the sheep
OF worms in the spring will result in
fewer losses in the lamb crop.
