ALLEGE FOUL PLOT TO
CRIPPLE FOOD SUPPLY
Official Says Hawaiian Cattle
Were lnoCuIated With
Anthrax.

+. Honolulu. T. H.. June Federal
authorities here were investigating to-
day tho theory of DIR. Victor Nor
gard that an inoculation plot with a
deliberate intent to destroy the cattle
industry of Hawaii and thus reduce
the food supply was the cause for the
recent outbreak of anthrax, which
resulted in the death Of 28 cows in
two days.
DR.. Norgaard, territorial veterin-
arian. presented his theorw In q re-
port to the agricultural forestry board.
DR.. Donald Currie. head OF tho lep-
rosy investigation board and a noted
anthrax expert, said he had no other
theory to supplement DR.. Norgaard"s
statement. and asserted the outbreak
Of the disease was undoubtedly the re-
suit Of q deliberate plot.
Information has been given the ter
ritorfal federal authorities to the ef-
feet that suspicious characters were
seen In the vicinity OF the dairy In
which the outbreak occurred two days
before the incubation period. An
thrax is infectious and resembles the
"hoof and mouth" disease. q wave OF

Provost Marshal General Enoch H.
Crowder has officially denied the
runor which gained considerable cur

charge all married men from the Sc
lective draft. The story grew from
the remark Of Secretary Baker OF the
war department. that he hoped 1t
would be possible to exclude from the
daft all married men whose depend
ents were solely dependent" 1t was
found that q number Of married men
not only were under the impression
that marriage will prove an exemption
from draft. but that It obviated even
registration itself. In order to cor
rect this Misunderstanding General
Crowder has issued the following
statement:

made for keeping the inspection of milk
up to standard.
The necessity Of absolute obedience
to quarantine regulations ought to be
brought home to every parent. Cele-
brating baby week while carelessness
permits contagion to increase right along
is something of a contradiction.
The Westinghouse movement should
be fortified, and arrangements made
whereby all mothers can avail them
selves of reliable instruction in nursing
and free medical advice when necessary.
The mothers pension law should he
applied wherever there is need or justi-
fication, and its purposes made plain to
all mothers who might core within its
provisions.
Special thoughtfulness should be de-
voted to backward and deficient children
in the schools and medical inspection
should be emphasized and extended.
These are some of the practical obi
cations presented by baby week. They
affect our children directly and vitality
and concern the entire community. Read
ing pretty sentiments and wearing baby
ribbons form one way of keeping baby
week. Helping to do something real for
the health and happiness of the children
right here in our own city-in our own
blocks-forms another.
Let's make something practical out of
baby week.

N. E. MILK PRODUCTION.
BosroN, April 2e, 1917. The

BosroN. April 26. 1917. The best
creamery butter is quoted in Boston and
vicinity at between IS and 60 cents per
pound and the chances are that it will
not 60 much lower even when the cows
begin to Craze on sweet "June" grass.
This is because of the fact that the Gus
tomary summer surplus of milk is this
year likely to be lacking and the ''sur-
plus" is most important consideration
in the manufacture of butter, especially
where it relates to the cost of production.
No other single fact affords SO positive
demonstration of the marked decrease
in the production of milk on the farms of
New England as this, and no other so
adequately presents evidence of the ne
cessity of a change in the situation
which will result in an increase of the
dairy herds of this territory. The gen.
eral public has been slow to realize the
rapid decline in the number of cows from
Aroostook to southwestern Connecticut.
While it is true that the principal reason
may be attributed to the high price of
grain, it is a fact that the usual relief
experienced at ''grass time" will be
much less this year than usual. The
lesson to every thoughtful citizen is that
there must be cordial and hearty encour-
agement rendered the producers in order
to maintain the supply of milk at its
present standard and this must be con-
tinued in order to increase the amount.
1t may sound paradoxical. but it is
nevertheless true, that higher than pres
ent prices for milk mean better pro-
duction and better production means
more and cheaper milk. In the present
state of affairs that, and nothing else,
will lead to more satisfactory rates on
all hands for all kinds of dairy products.

acres on the National Forests of the
Yellowstone region. This, according to
the forestry people, includes by far the
larger part of the remaining available
winter elk range on these forests, which
can be reached by the elk. The most
serious feature of the situation is that in
the past the elk have been in the habit
of wintering largely in open country out
side the National Forests and the yell
lowstone Park, on land which is now in
homesteads. Working out the right
policy calls for expert study of the whole
subject along the lines already under
taken by the officials in charge.
1.-The entire elk question is now being
thus studied, and very carefully, by the
Forest Service, National Park Service,
and Biological Survey. ] believe that
outsiders should await the formulation
of plan by these bureaus, which will
soon be in possession of the information
necessary to solve the problem correct
ly. First of all the present size of the
elk herds must be accurately determined.
1t must then be found out how many the
available winter range will support.
This will fix the maximum size of the
herd to be conserved.
''As the animals multiply above this
maximum, some of the surplus should be
used to restock areas in other States
which are suited to the elk. What meth
cd should be adopted for the disposal of
the further surplus remains to be decid-
ed''
Officials of the Department of Agri-
culture point out that, deplorable as are
the losses which the elk herds are nov
suffering, the situation is not essentially
different from that created among do
nestle livestock by seasons of unusual
severity. The natural increase will,
they say. gradually bring the herds back
to their former size If they are properly
protected. Both the Forest Service and
the National Park Service are deeply in
terested in the perpetuation of the elk,
and are working together in an effort to
find consistent, workable conservation
