FLOCKMASTERS SUFFER HEAVY TICK TAX
BY FRANK LENHENz Agricultural Experiment Station unve
sy Wisconsin,

Many Wisconsin flock owners are as
yet not aware of the loss they suffer
when they allow ticks 10 feed on their
flocks.
Quite often flocks are allowed to
run for q number of years before they
are given an opportunity to swim
through the dipping vat, thus freeing
themselves of these day and night
boarders feeding on them. The poor
sheep arc indeed to be pitied, and can
be called poor. because sheep infested
with ticks are poor.
Ticks Denied States Feed.
At the Wisconsin experiment station
the entire flock is dipped every year,
and no ticks are allowed to feed on
the states feed. For the last few
years carloads of Western lambs have
been purchased and fed experimentally
for market. On their arrival at the
college they were Immediately sub
jected to an examination to ascertain
if ticks were present, and each time
1t was found that the lambs were in
tested with these pests. AS late as in
November on fairly good day they re-
ceived their bath, and when feeding
began they made the most satisfactory
gains in proportion to the amount of
feed they consumed. With the pres
ent prices of feeds of all kinds, no

GOVERNOR Phillip URGES
MEN TO TRAIN FOR FARMING
Says Agricultural Education Pays Individual and State

the Wisconsin plans of training for
the business of farming.
Il would like to see every young
farmer in Wisconsin get a good educa-
ton in regular agricultural school,"
he declared. ut would be a great
personal boon TO the young man re-
ceiving ii, as well as a benefit TO the
state. am firm believer in the good
that arises from excellent courses in
agriculture, such as Wisconsin pos
sesses.
II repeat / would Ike to see every
young farmer who can avail himself
of the chance TO get an agricultural
education-not necessarily a course in
volvlng several years of continuous
study. but at least one of the short
courses given during the winter
months when work is not so driving on
the farm.
Here is why / think such course
would help the young farmer-it
y 0uld teach him how to study. 1t he
didn't get anything else out of it he
would be ahead. We live to learn.
Everyone who is growing is learning
something every day. Life is just a
big school. But we must have two
things before we can learn every day,
and those things are these:
1--WE must know that we don't know
as much as we thought we did, and
that others can teach us something,
and
1--WE must know how to use books
of reference and where to go to get
information on special subjects.
young men who have been well
trained in a technical agricultural
school and have learned those two
points are in shape to do better work
for themselves and the state than they
ever would have been able to do with
out that experience"

NOTED STOCKMAN PRAISES
STATES FARM RESOURCES
Dean Carlyle of Oklahoma Praises the
Output of Badger Stockmen.

Wisconsin has natural possibilities
for raising live stock of all kinds
which the farmers of many other sec
tiOns can never enjoy"
That is the rating of w. L. Carlyle,
who since serving Wisconsin as the
head Of its animal husbandry depart
ment has been at the head of agricul-
tural colleges in three Of the Western
and Southwestern states.
"There is no other state" said Dean
Carlyle, that has ever produced a
Bonnie Brae Hereford, the blood of
which has gone into every state of the
Union where Herefords are kept.
"There is no other state that has
ever produced a family of Red Polled
cattle that are known wherever Red
Polls are kept.
'T'iere is no other state and no 9TH
err country which has sold crop of
Shorthorn calves at an average of over
81 900 a head to go as seed stock into
IL other states In the Union.
81 have had some experience In the
corn belt in the Southwest, and I know
that they cannot produce the cattle
that you can In the northern climes.
That is true the world over The
northern countries that are not too
far north, where good grasses and good
grains and leguminous crops can be
raised. produce the best class of stock.
The tendency is for live stock kept in
warmer sections to grow. in two or
three generations, lighter in bone.
lighter in weight and smaller in size.

veloping many more great breeding
herds, and becoming to a still greater
degree the nursery for the breeding

Americans Best Farmers
in World, Says Houston

The point has been reached
where war is waged literally by
whole nations. Every man,
woman and child is involved, and
nearly every adult, and most
boys and girls, can be efficient
factors. We are in this war for
the purpose of defending our
rights, of makIAg sure that, as
a nation, we shall be able to live
the sort of life and to have the
sort of institutions we desire, of
making democracy persist in the
world, and of safeguarding the
world against the recurrence of
such a war as this. To accom-
plish this the nation must aim
at the perfection of organization,
and therefore each individual
must recognize the necessity of
making sacrifices for the COM
mon good and more than ever
of working under limitations
of doing teamwork. Our people
have q genius for organization,
and they will not fail in the task
they have assumed. Our farm
ers, on whom a great response
bility rests, are the most efficient
turner's in the world when they
do their best. They will not be
found wanting in this crisis.-D.

Credentials for Doctor Lundblom will
also be cabled to him. The proposal
by the British embassy that the
pouches be opened in the presence of
swedish and British representa-
hves, or of Swedish and American
representatives, made to the Swedish
minister, was rejected by the latter.
The British contention is that the
case is parallel to that of a Swedish
pouch which was dispatched from
Washington at the time Count Johann
Won Bernstorff was leaving America.
The pouch was taken in charge by the
British authorities In Halifax, diverted
to London. where the Swedish Legal
don's counsellor, in the presence OF
representative of the British for
eign office, examined the contents. II
Is asserted by British officials that,
while all documents were turned over
TO the Swedish legation in London,
some of them were of an irregular
and questionable character.
