ripping DOES NOT
REDUCE MILK YIELDS
IN CONTRARY, SAYS u. S. DE-
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
IT WILL BE INCREASED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"Dipping
COWS to kill fever ticks actually in
craases milk yields" says the United
States department of agriculture in
- statement issued today. "This is
rroved in actual experiment and in
tho results obtained in thousands of
dairy herds the owners of which are
thorough believers in tick eradication
by the dipping-vat method. Careful
records prove that lightly infested
COWS produce 1876 per cent. less milk
than free cows, while cows heavily
infested produce on an average 42.4
npr cent. less milk than similar cows
freed from ticks. This was establish
ed by records of yields kept over
considerable periods for ticky herds
before they were dipped and for the
same herds after they were dipped.
A herd of 20 lightly licked cows
produced 20 quarts less milk per
dav. or a loss of $500 quarts in 200
DAYS milking, than 20 tick free
cows Of the same kind. Twenty heav-
ily licked cows produced 81 quarts
per day less, or a loss of 13,400
quarts in 200 days milking, than 20
tck-free cows Of a similar breed.
The monetary gain from dipping of
the lightly infested herd would have
been $3.50 a year; from the heavily
licked herd a dipping would have in
creased profits of $3.50 a year
"Here is an actual record from a
dairy herd: A dairyman in heavily
infested territory dipped his cattle.
One week after dipping, his herd of
AZ COWS gave 10 gallons of milk a
day more-an increase of 1876 per
cent. from the start. The milk sold
for SO cents a gallon, and he got
$3.50 more per day from his herd
from one dipping. He had begun to
feed the cows instead of the ticks.
Those who assert that dipping di-

PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLMENT


Enrolment in American public
schools has been affected by the war,
but not to the extent of making it
less than last year, according to fig
ures compiled by the federal bureau
Of education. figures from AL cities
and 696 counties on districts show
an increase of close to the normal
amount of two and one half per cent.
in elementary schools In high schools
however, the increase is only one
fourth of The usual nine and one half
per cent. z y 4
Such increase as tHere-sis in high
school enrolment is caused by the
girl students. Fewer boys are en-
relied this year I'M every class in
high school except the fourth; appear
entity there is healthy tendency for
boy! in the senior Xe.gsrcgt!o. remain mai!
and graduate.
In city elementary schools the in
crease in enrolment is actually some
what above normal; but in the city
high schools there is a marked fall
ing off, especially among the boys.
Country schools show some gains
over last year both in elementary and
nigh school enrolment, but not as
great as would be expected under nor
NAL conditions Rural high schools
show increases for doth dogs and girls
despite the war.

many would do with the American
forces what was done with the Rus
sian armies were it possible. But
she would have to, catch our troops
with poor equipment and little ex-
perience in the kind of fighting that
has been resorted to in the west.
Here in this country the report of
serious dissatisfaction in Austria is
taken as literally true, and it is even
believed that nothing like the worst
OF it is ever getting to the outside
world Cotton wire reports are cir
cuated carrying the rumors that
German and Austrian troops were
fighting each other on their borders.
The whole story has been taken to
mean the worst in Austria.
The American people might well
take the English view of it if they
play safe. The English know the
news sources,-even know when a
report looks as if it has been doc
tored." They know the point of ORR
gin of "doctored statement, in most
cases, and when England warns the
rest of the world to take the reports
OF serious strikes in Austria with a
pinch of salt, there is more than like
ly a reason for so advising
The English idea is to hurry, hur-
ry with more men and more guns to
the fray Let Austria devour herself,

CoRDELE'S COMMERCIAL BODY


The Dispatch has taken a poll Of
the young business men of the COM
munity in rough manner and finds
them enthusiastic over rejuvenated
business organization for 1918. 1t
is deemed one CT the most vital bust
ness necessities and those who dis
oussed the project very generally were
enthusiastic and high minded about
business ideals for the New Year.
Reference was made specially to
young business men because the young
men have practically volunteered to
run business body for the communi-
ty and there is now little left to do
but to make the start. 1t should be
a deliberate business start not flashy
high-corored rocket rising today to
decend tomorrow.
Plans discussed up to the present
time include a shedule which will
provide for as many as four presi-
dents of the body each with a three
months period in which to work,
Each head of the body might be eXpec-
ted to make his term the livliest
with usual effort in such manner as
he and his board of assistants deem
wise.
There is prevalent desire to in
corporate a social intermingling at a
public function at least once during
the three months which an officer
holds This will provide an oppor-
tunity for fellowship of the right
kind where those of one business line
will have opportunity to mingle with
the men of other lines, and even those
in the same lines of business may have
an opportunity to show themselvs all
aiming at one common purpose

ume for the new Year,

ness system be called to join the ranks
