TREMENDOUS HERDS WILL
CRAZE ON U. 5. LANDS
Approved Allowances Provide for
Pasturing of Eight Million Sheep
and Two Million Cattle and
Horses.

Washington, March 31.-Approved
grazing allowances for the national
forests during the coming season pro-
vide for the pasturings of 8.400,155
Sheep 2, 120, Las cattle and horses, and
81, $50 swine. These figures, com
pared with those of last year, repre-
sent an approximate increase of ILL.,
600 cattle and horses and a decrease
of about 100000 sheep. Grazing ex-
perts of the forest service figure that
for purposes of range allotment one
cow is equal to five sheep. Conse-
quently the increase of Ill, 900 cattle
and horses is held to be equivalent to
net increase of $4,000 sheep, or Of
$1,000 cattle, over the total number Of
stock grazed last year.. :.
The decrease in the number of sheep
is said to be caused by the action of
owners who are disposing of their
fiocks in order to buy cattle. In most
cases the Sreason, is not because Of
greater profits in handling cattle, but
because the rapidly changing condi-
tions on the open ranges, where sheep
have been handled in the past, make
it increasingly difficult to find feed for
this class of stock during the months
when deep snow prohibits grazing
on the national forests.
It is stated that the capacity of the
national forest range is gradually be-
ing increased by protection against
overgrazing and improved methods
Of handling the stock. New areas
are also being brought into use by the
development of watering places, while
the eradication of poisonous plants
is reducing the losses suffered by the
Stockmen.

Stop Food Crop Wastes
By improving Methods

Washington, d. c., March 31.-The
Secretary of Agriculture, D. F. Houston,
has issued the following statement:
Both for economic and patriotic
reasons the American farmer should
strive this year for the highest standard
Of efficiency in the production and con-
servation of food. But production ac-
complished by wasteful methods does
not make for efficiency, and careful
thought. therefore, should be given to
the steps that need to be taken.
AT this. the approach of the grow
ing season, 1t Is pertinent to consider
steps which should be taken during
the starting or the growing OF crops
to prevent or eliminate wastes. In the
case of the great staple cereals, which
constitute large proportion, Of our
food supply, conspicuous production
wastes result from failure to give
proper attention to the selection and
safeguarding Of seed for planting, the
preparation Of the land, and the care
of the crop. For instance. only vsrie-
ties known to be well adapted to the
region where planted should be select
ed, SO that in case of such crop as
corn the grain will not fail to mature
properly In a normal season. The
planting Of seed that will not terminate
often results in great loss of time, labor
and money which could have been
avoided by testing the seed for germ
inability before planting.
In some sections the damage to
crops by destructive diseases and i'm
sects is the most conspicuous crop
waste. Economically sound and eff
Gent production necessitates protec-
ton OF crops against these pests. Dis
injecting dips for seed and sprays and
spraying for growing crops now have
been developed to a point where they

surance that farmers can not afford to
neglect.

"The question came up at the NOM
mating convention in Fargo last
March. The delegates thought best,
at that time, to continue the organiza-
ton, and 1t will be continued till the
next nominating convention to be held
in March OF next year. At that time
the 80 delegates who will make up the
officers for the succeeding two years.
First 70 sign up.
But, back to the organization work.
The first seventy-nine farmers that
we visited, signed the roll without a
skip. Think of 1t! Seventy mine
farmers whom we called upon thought
the same as we did on this problem,
and they paid us, most Of them, in
post dated checks.
automobile at that time. We had
gotten into three townships somewhat
removed from Woods home, where
there was no snow.
I'VE were, as / say. getting post
dated checks all. the time, and were
not getting enough money to pay for
the. gasoline. So ] said to Howard
Wood, after we had about $4,000 in
post dated checks, that we would have
to devise some plan for handling the
finances.
"As means of getting a league
automobile, Howard Wood signed a
note for $1,000, which used at a
local bank in Deering to obtain cash
for the purchase of two automobiles.
| signed the note with Wood. 1t didn't
bother me any, for I was broke. and
had been so in the habit of signing
notes for the previous eight years
that I didn't hesitate. But we paid
that note" At that stage the note
was exhibited to the crowd.
Cooper His First Organizer.
Then, needing help, I sent a letter
and telegram and $40 expense money
to Ray Cooper, out in Williams county.
He came to Deering, took an automo-
bile, and became league organizer.
1t took two or three days to properly
train him.
I'VE next went over to Glenburn, N.
D., where we raised $3.50 and bought
two more cars. Next we went to
Bottineau county where we were able,
after some little time, to interest L. L.
Stair. In a short time we had 81 400
more, and we got four more automo-
biles.' IT
And SO, related Townley, the work
went on in earnest. Forty thousand
dollars was spent for automobiles be-
fore that. year was over, and all cars
were paid for. Most of the funds
were raised in the northwest section
of the state, and all the western
farmers had to rely on, in backing the
league, was the prospect that the
farmers down in the eastern part of
the state would join the league, and
thus take care of the finances.
Townley also told the story Of how
Bert Starry, a Conway auto dealer,
had faith in the league movement, and
delivered cars to them on notes
signed by farmers in the Conway
section. The fall of 1915 the league
paid Starry $4,000 for cars, and the
next year $4,000 worth of cars were
bought in the same way.
During the 1915 summer season,
Townley said, it was necessary to bor-
row $4,000, the loan being handled by
a Valley City bank. That, he said,
had also been paid up.

ously. Potato diseases of preventable
character frequently reduce the crop
by from 100000 to 100000
bushels. While not entirely prevent
able they should be guarded against
to the fullest extent possible.
Sweet potato losses from black rot.
food rot, and other diseases in the
field result mainly from failure to select
and disinfect seed and to practice sani-
tation in the beds. Bean losses from
anthracnose and other diseases can be
prevented to a large extent by the use
OF disease-free seed. The obtaining of
such seed should receive special atten-
ton this season. '.r
Prevention of Waste. 2.
Some of the most conspicuous crop
wastes occur with fruits and vege-
tables, of which, in normal years,
larger quantities usually are grown
than the producers can market profit
ablv Frequently these losses are due
indirectly to disease and insect in
jury which lowers their market value
without reducing their food value ma
terially If they can be utilized prompt
w bv drying, canning, or other pre-
sentative methods. Under existing
conditions, every practicable step
should be taken to protect these crops
throughout the season and to utilize
sible when they have matured.
ITO the extent that competent labor
is available, either hired, or in the fam
lily, fruits and vegetables which or
dinarily ii is inadvisable to attempt to
conserve should be systematically
saved for use by canning, drying or
preserving. These operations should
not be delayed until late summer and
autumn; and family gardens should be
planned to supply ample quantities OF
early maturing small fruits and veRe-
tables for canning, drying or preserv-
ing. al well as fresh products for the
table. Because Of the scarcity of tim
plate and the high price of tin cans,
1t may be necessary in household

to pack fruit and vegetables in other
for new methods Of preserving or the
improvement and extended use OF old
processes, such as drying.
I'm the southern states. approximate
ly $4,000, 0O0 bushels Of sweet potatoes
are produced annually. and ii is. esti-
mated that at least 100000 bushels
Of these are lost annually by decay.
Frequently wholesale waste occurs at
harvest time, not only Of sweet po-
fatoes. but Of white potatoes and other
underground food crops, through lack
OF proper storage facilities to safeguard
the crop from destructive freezes at
digging time. Early this season plans
should be made and executed In the
building Of suitable farm storage

be done &c relatively low cost Y un-

and to care for them as may be nee,
essary during the season. So
IF seed il Of high quality but short
in quantity, some reduction in the
quantity used per acre sometimes car
be made with profit IL the soil is as
Peciaily well prepared and the seedins

ditions as good a stand Of oats can be
obtained, the specialists Of the depart
ment have found, by drilling ~
bushels per acre as by sowing bushels
broadcast. with resultant increase OF
yield per acre as well as increase Of
acreage planted.
Where spring wheat is planted. and
to some extent barley and the grain
sofahums, varieties should be sown
that do not shatter, especially in the
drier districts. No grain should be
allowed to become dead ripe before cut
ting, because OF the tendency to shatter
when in. that condition. Most farm
.crs probably will find 1t possible to To-
cate and prevent important wastes II

will give the matter serious thought
and undertake to correct such waste

Guard Against Potato Diseases.
Tn the case Of the northern staple
vegetables. such as potatoes, cabbage.
and onions. Of which the supply is short
as the result Of unfavorable climatic
conditions in 1915 In the commercially
important producing districts, it is con
sidered especially important TO reduce
the risk OF waste due TO the action of
insects and diseases during the grow
ing period. With the potato, the seed
stocks or which are low. every precau-
ton necessary to reduce the risk of
disease damage. including the treat
ment of the seed potatoes for scab
before planting and equipment for
thorough spraying while the crop Is
growing, should be taken.

blight throughout tie important po-
tato producing districts, (Which for
tunately, rarely occurs in restricted
areas) might diminish potato produc-

COUNTY AGENT WORK IS
GIVEN GREAT RECOGNITION
Characteristic incident Indicates How
Thoroughly Farmers Are Interest
ed in Movement.

The county agent has proved a
| great help to the farmers. He has
been the first agency that devotes his
whole time to the farmers interests
! The county agent has not only helped
| the farmer on his individual farm, but
| he has also helped farmers in bring
| ing about organizations. AS a rule,
! the more progressive farmers are the
first to take advantage OF the county
agents work. The farmers who need
it the most are often prejudiced
against the work. A good illustration
of this comes in the news item from
Yamhill county, Oregon.
THE farmers Of Yamhill county held
jubilee meeting and banquet recently
in McMinnville to celebrate the sue
cessful conclusion of their campaign
to raise a fund of $1,700 to retain their
county agricultural agent, M. s..
Shrock.
The taxpayers meeting held in
December had voted to disallow the
appropriation for this fork, but the
farmers were not satisfied with the
verdict and Immediately organized to
raise funds by private subscriptions.
Louis Horner of Carlton. was made
chairman of the committee and o. A.
MacGill of McMinnville. secretary
treasurer.
subscriptions ranged from 81 to $50
by farmers themselves. although 6usi-
ness men of McMinnville and other
towns gave substantial donations"
The farmers who had really learned
OF the county agents value were going
to have him even If they had to pay

The Smdebuker SIX
An Evolution

The reliability, the easy riding qualities
of Studebakers are recognized by all ex-
perienced motorists.
Like the Packard and Pierce. the Stude-
baker retains it's graceful, aristocratic
lines from year to year.
The manufacturing methods applied in
the production of the Studebaker Six
have been developed by four years con-
tinuous experience with single basic de-
sign. This fact alone has enabled Stude-
baker to keep it's price remarkably
low.
Last year the entire Studebaker output
was sold early in August. Late corners
were disappointed. This year., too. the
production is limited. Be wise-place
