~ EMO, New, Aug. o.-lhe rec
X ommendation of the Califor-
~ MIA Association of Practical
Farmers that Herbert Hoover add a
practical farmer to his staff is a
good one.
Mr.. Hoover is big man, but he
can neither do nor know it all. He
thought there was nothing simpler
than the proposition that it is more
economical to turn lambs into food
via mutton than as lamb. Where
fore. he urged the public TO refrain
from eating lamb and appealed to
the growers to sell only mature
sheep.
Now come the Western sheep men
and demonstrate that to cut off the
consumption of lamb is simply TO re-
duce the supply of food. The range
j. limited. The possibilities of win
ter feeding are limited. IT is tne
practice of sheep men to utilize their
entire range and feeding capacity
with breeding ewes. If they carry
through the winter the lambs that
would ordinarily be marketed they
must reduce the number of ewes,
which, of course, means fewer lambs
next spring and fewer sheep there
after. That in turn means less sheep
meat in the end.
The sheep men say that the only
logical way to handle the situation is
to make the range carry every eve
that it possibly can. They have laid
their plans to do so. Nevada will
produce 10 per cent more sheep next
year than this if their plans are car
ried out, but not if the lambs are
held over.

Americans Eat
But Little Mutton

Besides, the American people do
not eat mutton. They don't like it.
Lamb is the standard form of sheep
meat. 1t is the finished product Of
the sheep raising industry. The case
cf veal and beef is entirely different.
Veal is a luxury.
Both the cattlemen and the sheep
men of Nevada and all the range
country are putting forth the great
est possible efforts to increase tneir
output. They declare that their ef-
forts ere largely inspired by pa
tliotic desire to do their part. The
difficulties that confront them are
great. Reliable help is hard to get

Hills and the Sea


". rusbed down rolling highways from the hills
Until the low horizon fattened out
ADD over yellow marsh grass came a wind,
C.,essino. soft, and smelling of the brine
Then up crest Sped and saw the sea
Rlue to the skyline lay its wrinkled plain
"a from the circles edge the blue sky climbed,
pesrl-tnted to the east, with quiet clouds
.Aost above the white winged ships below.
Our engine stopped and in the hush we heard
The ses-song of the surges rolling in,
suroes that come from far adventuring
To Law their burdens on the yellow sands
With cesseess murmur or reverberate boast
tToy GOOD that sound how sweet the brny smell!
How lespt the spirit out to meet the sea
Aud all that night we woke to hear the surf
Booming its way along the beach, to smell
The seaweed and the salt, to feel on sheet
And hair the damp caresses of the fog
Next dav red sun burned the mists away
Til underneath my feet the sands were hot
As walked barefoot and apart, fleeing
The other bathers with their merry shouts,
To let the ocean have its way with me-
The foam-white combers charging up the beach;
The booming surf song, and the steady wind
Which made tiny shrlling in the grass
That marks in clumps the winter tides advance;
The steel-brigbt pathway toward the SUM- the warn
OF sun and sea wind my naked skin;
The far horizons Turing line; the smell
OF seaweed and the sting of spray-all these
NV senses caught in half Inconsistencies
While deep within great emotion came
To swim far out upon that heaving plain
And be forever part of its great bulk
It's vastness, power and eternity.
"The sea 20 | breathed, and childhood memories woke
The memory of wonder and of dreams,
And Youthful Visions too, when agic worlds
Law down below the skyline, and the heart
Was hot with longing for the siren quest
The sea- l cried again, and plunged headhrSt
Into comber's curling green embrace.
Another day;-we sped twixt rolling farms
Or through drab towns where men toled dustily,
Back toward the hills, and saw at length suPine
AGAINST the west our smoke-blue mountain wall
Again our engine stopped and in the pause
The silver trumpet of a hermit thrush
Made elm welcome from the hemlock depths
That fell away below into a vale,
Where wound our road up toward the hills of home.
How vast the smoke-blue rampant lay beneath
4 skv where sunset clouds were gathering;
How sweet its curve like some fair womans breast;
How in its swelling roll and mighty dip
Eternity was pictured by a line
Gods chamber beams are laid upon the deep,
Yet lift we up eyes unto the hills
And 10. again the vastness and the dream
Beyond our rampant, salmon tinted now,
Law the bright mansions of the hearts desire.
Our engine coughed to life, we slid ahead,
Down through the hemlocks in the mountain chill
And raced the twilight, marching from the east,
Rack to a house beneath the mountain wall.

Californians Want Practical Farmer on

Sheepmen Claim Saving Lambs Means

and sufficient help of any kind is i'm
possible.
The men of the ranges are natural
soldiers, and they have swarmed into
the recruiting Offices. Their places
have been taken by the wandering
hobo type of labor-the man who
carries all his earthly belongings In
a blanket roll slung over his back and
considers ten days in one place long
stay. These men get twice as much
as good men got three years ago.
Feed is costly, and so is every item
of supply and equipment. 1t costs
twice as much to produce beef now
IS it did three years ago, whereas,
the price of beef TO the producer has
gained only one-third. Moreover,
the homesteader has aggravated the
problem by undertaking the hopeless
task of turning the desert into a dry
farm. He spoils the range and pro-
duces nothing of any importance.
Cattle Fattened
Amid Sage Brush
One Of the mysteries Of Nevada is
TIE sight of fat cattle in sage brush
deserts. You can't see any grass ex-
cept, by minute examination under
the sage brush, little punches here
and there. But there is enough feed
to keep a limited number of cattle
fat. Also, the small, white sage
makes winter feed. A section of
land may maintain twelve steers.
That isn't much, but it is better than
a section of dusty plough land that
ends in nothing but disappointment
and loss.
Something like 2O0,OOO,O0O acres
of public land has been homesteaded
in recent years. Much of it viii
never be farm land. Some day 1t
will go back TO the range, but IN the
meantime it produces neither flesh
nor grain. The sheep men are talk
ing of the possibilities of the cut over
end burnt over forest lands of Min
rosetta and Wisconsin as possible
hope for the continuation Of their
pursuit on a large scale.
Neither irrigation nor dry farm
ing will ever conquer the whole Of
the last stand Of the Great Ameri-
can Desert. Thank God for that.
There will always be some place for
refuge from the loneliness Of crowds
some place where Mother Earth
will be free from the use and abuse
Of her mightiest offspring.

Washington, April 6.-How the

A bill prepared by the general staff
and approved by the president for
submission to congress provides for
the immediate filling up of the regular
army and National Guard to war
strength of more than 100000, by
draft unless enough volunteers enlist
quickly and for bringing into the serv-
ice by late summer OF the first 100000
of the new force of young men be-
tween the ages of 10 and rs years, to
be called to the colors by selective

Prospective Army
Nurses Told What
Is Expected Of Them

Surgeon General, U. S. Armv,
Washington, D. c.: With a view to
enlisting as an army nurse, am
writing to inquire'-and with such
? query you are well on your wav
TO become a nurse in the United
States Army Corps. of Women
Nurses" DR.. J. NJ. Banister told the
group OF Red Cross nurses who had
assembled at the Nurses club Thurs
day afternoon. Army nurses are
furnished with cooks, servants, quar-
tiers, rations, travel allowance, and
they are protected by the discipline
OF military hospitals and receive SAL
aries of from $50 to 800 month,
with allowances for any additional
expense to which they are put and
with one month a year leave on full
pay or three months of cumulated
leave during the three years of sery
Ice" he further explained.
. He impressed the nurses. with the
Importance of caring for the diseased
"a war by showing kyw much
greater the mortality from disease is
than from actual wounds or in action.
Citing the example of the Spartan
woman who sent her son into bat
tle with the injunction to come home
with his shield or on it," and of the
Gallo woman who, after fighting
with her husband in battle, was the
first on the forsaken field in search
OF the wounded and the dead. DR..
Banister appealed to the Omaha
nurses to offer their services to the
government. Since, as Red Cross
nurses most of those present are sub
Ject to call for active service. the
meeting was educational and in
spirational rather than calculated to
bring forth actual recruits. A num-
per Of willing nurses are restrained

of the new army.
A year from now a second incre.
ment of 100000 youths would be
called out. another 100000 officers and
ncncommisssoned officers would be
drawn from the regulars, the National
Guard forces or from the first section
OF the new army to officer and train
the second section.
BY that time the machinery that
had been built up would provide
enough trained officers and noncom.
missioned officers to train 100000
or more men at time, il that were
necessary.
The War department bill. however
proposes to authorize now only the
first two classes of the new army,

most.
Much More Needed.
The sum Of nearly 100000 900
asked by congress to carry out this
program deals only with the first
year Of preparation. Behind it stands
the need of an equal sum for service
supplies Of ammunition, cannon and
other war material If the army is to
be employed in actual war.
Included in the present estimates
are the cost of cantonments to
house the troops. Presumably the
previous plans Of the general staff for
sixteen military districts will be car.
ried out. This would provide for
sixteen complete and fully equipped
army divisions, and while 1t is not
to create any additional tao
