Suspended Draft Calls
 Now Being Revived

Draft calls, suspended three weeks ago because of the Span- ish influenza epidemic, now are out again in certain zones where the surgeon generals office has decided it is safe to send the men to cantonments. The To- calitles and the exact number of men will not be announced for the present.
 The October program is un- derstood to provide for the in- duction of about $50, 900 men and the number not called out during the remaining days of the month will be added to sue ceeding monthly quotas, all being called as quickly as pre- cautions for safety will permit.
 Prof. Dolman has been asked by the Central War Work Com mittee at Phoenix to make a speaking tour for the campaign which begins shortly, but de- cIined for she present, believing that the local situation more needs his attention.

 Mrs. c. ". Harp, wife of Un der-Sheriff Harp. who has been seriously ill with the influenza at the home of MT. and Mrs. Tee pie, is reported as some better. Mrs. Harp was removed from her home in the court house to the Teeple residence soon after she became sick and much credit for her improved condition is due to the untiring efforts of MT. and Mrs. Teeple, who were greatly assisted by Mrs. Mattie Peters.

SEVEN 0RCHARDISTS
ARE INDICTED

Following a charge by Circuit Judge
W ilson, who emphasized the import
ance Of a rigid enforcement of horti-
cultural laws, the grand jury Monday
indicted seven of the valleys most
prominent orchardists for an alleged
failure to obey law that requires all
prunings to be burned 80 days after
they are cut. The growers indicted
are c. X. Bone. j. f. Mclean, E. n.
Benson, c. N. Ravlin. Albert Meier,
Aug Paasch and w. H. Chipping.
Fruit Inspector Angus states that he
has repeatedly warned growers to obey
the law
Although they pleaded not guilty on
arraignment, the seven orchardists re-
considered and entered pleas of guilty
Tuesday Judge Wilson assessed the
minimum fine of $25 against each.
The defendant growers declare that
an effort VII be made to secure amend
ments of the pruning law.
II think, said H. f. Davidson, that
if the law were rigidly enforced that
nearlv all the growers of the valley
would be brought before the court. If
man prunes his trees in January,
even though a two foot snow is on the
ground, under the law he must burn his
prunings in 80 days A man is subject
to fine if he cuts down large apple
tree and saves the body for wood for
more than 80 days. 1t is law that no
practical orchardist had anything to do
with drafting"

What will the Hood River boys in

And Hood River county is not going
to disappoint them. This county has
not yet taken War Stamps as seriously
as they should be taken. 1t is true
that out of an estimated 400 families
in the county total of 1897 pledges
have been received by soliciting com
mittees. Just one thing remains, how
ever. Those pledges must be increased.
This is the birthday of Liberty. viii
you salute the Flag today with a con-

As an individual you will know

increase your pledge.
The record of Hood River county
must be maintained.

SALARY MATTER
TAKEN TO COURT

Jasper Wickham, county assessor,
through mandamus proceedings filed
against the county court clerk, is en-
deavoring to secure payment of a back
salary claim Of S1,097. Since 1914
county salaries have been paid in ac-
cordance with terms Of a bill initiated
by the local grange and pruning the
amounts formerly allowed officials.
Mr. Wickham contends that counties
cannot initiate bills, and that the
grange law, which also made severe
cut in the salaries of county clerk and
sheriff, is invalid.
In a case involving the issue, su-
preme court handed down decision
last Tuesday ruling that counties do
not have the power Of initiating bills.

VALUE OF SILAGE FOR SHEEP
Reduces Cost Of Raising Animal and
Supplies succuIence, PaIatability
and Variety.

The addition Of silage to rations for
all classes Of sheep reduces their cost
and supplies succulence, palatability
and variety. Likewise, rotten, moldy,
sour or frozen silage should not be
used. Pregnant ewes should receive
from three to four pounds per head
daily during the winter. This should
be supplemented with two or three
ounces per head daily of cottonseed
cake and some hay. After the lambs
are born silage increases the milk
now OF the ewes. In the fattening of
lambs and yearlings for market the
cheapest gains have usually been
made when silage constituted part
OF the ration. Rams winter well on
sllage as a part of their feed.

MARKETING OF BROOD SOWS
Good Animals Sometimes Sacrificed
When Little Forethought Would
Cause Retention.

At this time the marketing of q
SOW that can be or has been bred is
fairly comparable to ''killing the goose
that laid the golden egg" Although
the fecundity of swine is we'll appre-
ciated by farmers, at times sows are
sacrificed when a little forethought
would cause them to be retained.
Breeding sows multiply five or six
times as rapidly as other meat ami
mails. They have an average litter Of
five or six pigs and may be bred twice
a year, although three times in two
years accOrds more with current farm
practice. The litters increase in size,
on the average, until sows are five or
six years old. However, a large pro-
portion of the sows are sold after pro-
ducing one or two litters and before
they have reached the period of great
est productivity.
Jackson County journal., 1918-01-04

the material is too good conductor
Of heat, and the health of the animals
suffers from contact with these floors.
In poultry houses, dry soil or sand may
be used as a covering for the cement
floor, and in stables a wooden floor
resting on concrete is just as satisfac-
tory so far as the exclusion Of rats Is
concerned.
The common practice of setting corn
cribs on posts with inverted pans at
the tops often fails to exclude rats, be-
cause the posts are not high enough to
place the lower cracks of the struc-
ture beyond reach of the animals. AS
rats are excellent jumpers, the posts
should be tall enough to prevent the
animals from obtaining a foothOld at
any place within three feet Of the
ground. A crib built in this way, how
ever, is not very satisfactory.
For a rat-proof crib well-drained
site should be chosen. The outer walls,
laid in cement, should be sunk about
twenty inches into the ground. The
space within the walls should be
grouted thoroughly with cement and
broken stone and finished with rich
concrete for a floor. Upon this the
structure may be built. Even the walls
of the crib may be concrete. Corn will
not mold in contact with them, pro-
vided there is good ventilation and the
roof is water-tight.
However, there are cheaper ways Of
excluding rats from either new or old
corncribs. Rats, mice and sparrows
may be kept out effectually by the use
of either an inner or an outer covering
of galvanized-wire netting of half-inch
mesh and heavy enough to resist the
teeth of the rats. The netting in COM
mon use in screening cellar windows is
suitable for covering or lining cribs
AS rats can climb the netting, the en-
tire structure must be screened, or, If
sparrOws are not to be excluded, the
wire netting may be carried up about
three feet from the ground, and above
this belt of sheet metal about foot
in width may be tackled to the outside
of the building.
Complete working drawings for the
practical rat-proof corncrib may be OBJ
tanned from the Office of public roads
