Labor Shortage Acute.

State College, July Al. o. Miller,
farm specialist at the State college,
has lust recently returned from a trip

Of special activity on the part Of the

against vagabonds, idlers and oil
others who are trying to dodge work,
as there is a big shortage Of both
farm and ranch labor over the east

are facing much worse conditions
than the farmers. Mr.. Miller says the

When the combined allied nations
decided upon systematic campaign
TO exterminate the trench rat. when
they decided to select an expert TO
have charge Of these operations, they
looked not TO some distinguished
savant of q university in Paris. Lon
don or Rome.
Instead, they gazed over the broad

A. Goldman, Of the United States bio
logical survey, poisoning prairie dogs
in New Mexico, and made him ''Maior
E. A. Goldman. Of the sanitary corps,
chief Of trench rat determination in
Europe"
This was three months ago. Major
Goldman has been in France about
that length Of time studying the pred
atOry instincts Of the animal he in
tends to kill. He is to receive assist
ance from a number Of men connected
with the biological survey and well
known in the state for their work in
poisoning rodents. The survey is now
in a position to furnish experienced
men for this work.
Major Goldman was active in ex-
termination Of the prairie dog in this
state. His headquarters when in this
part Of the country were at the bio
logical survey office at Albuquerque
II was in New Mexico that he did his
best work and received much Of his
knowledge Of pests here. Later he
extended his operations 10 Arizona.
The trench rat. better known as the
Norway or brown rat, has wrought
much havoc to food supply, and tor

United States alone the official est-
mate is that rats do more than $780,

Compare this to warfare conditions

necessity for eradicating the animal
can be had.

DESTRUCTION OF sOAPwEED
vaMahls Range Feed BsInu Utilized
by Fiber Company.

Soapweed for years past has been
the salvation Of the cowmen. MANY

but sOapweed. The country is very
arid. and were il not for the browsr
ing obtained on this land md thb
utilization of the rest Of the great
areas for the production of stock
would be utterly impossible, and a
valuable industry in promotion OF
wealth and food for the country
would be seriously crippled. Vast
areas Of government land have this
soapweed growing. This land has
been used BY cattlemen from time i'm
memorial, and since the recent dem
onstration Of its value as a stock food
when cut up and mixed with other
foods, its protection is vitality neees-
sary.
Recently a well-known concern of
ST. Louis which manufactures fibre
and sells a great deal of its output
at this time to the government has
secured a permit to cut this fibre
from government land. Bear grass,
soapweed and other kindred plants
belonging to the yucca family can be
utilized for this fibre. There are also
many other things that can be used
ITO make fibre, but this company has
been turning its attention to yucca
plants, and their permit covers the
cutting of as much as 5000 acres

To All Residents Of the State of New

The members of these boards have

have. in each instance, made the
proper classification on the evidence
presented by the QUESTIONABLE.
There are. no doubt. cases where
the missionaries failed to present

cases the boards have. of necessity
been unable to do Justice.
Il now becomes the patriotic duty
Of every resident Of this state havinl

classification TO report TO Capt. h. c

in the case, giving the name and post

spite the magnificent effort of our agri- cultural population in planting much increased acreage in 1917, not only was there very large failure in wheat, but also the corn failed to mature prop erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
 q am sure," Mir. Hoover wrote in concluding his report that all the millions of our people, agricultural as well as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel very definite satisfaction that in a year of universal food shortages in the north. ern hemisphere all of those people joined together against Germany have come through into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained but with only temporary periods of hardship

 Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year 1917-1S to Allied destinations were Wheat 131, ,000000 bushels and of rye 13,900000 bushels, a total of III, ,900,- GOO bushels.
 The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1916-17 were: Wheat 135,100,000 bushels and rye 2,3O0,000 bushels, a total of 137 100000 bushels. In addition some 10,000000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port for Allied destinations or en route thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about III, ,000- GOO bushels, or total of 154,900,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs In ad- dition to this we have shipped some 10,000,00o bushels to neutrals depend ent upon us, and we have received some imports from other qNarters.
 "This accomplishment of our people in this matter stands out even more clearly if webear in mind that We had available in the fiscal year 1916-17 from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about 00,0O0,00O bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf Mir Hoover said. "This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the l9l7 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and imports only just about our normal consump- ton. Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent ap-- proximately savings from our own wheat bread.

URGES BILL TO
COURT MARTIAL
FOR ESPIONAGE
Measure to Put all Violators
in Military Court Strong
ly Urged.

Washington. April 1.-THE bill of
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. to
make violators of the espionage act
subject to trial under court martial
was urged today before the senate
military committee by w. p. Blood
good, a lawyer of. Milwaukee, Wis.
as means Of giving the government
power to stamp out German propa-
ganda.
"The direct effort of this propagan-
da," he said. lis to slow down the
production of every department that
is working for the government ]
think it is having very unfortunate
effect on shipbuilding. airplane con-
struction and production in the ord
nance department" ..
Mr.. Bloodgood charged that as a
Dart OF German propaganda in the
Seattle district, union cards have
been purchased for unskilled work
men who have been placed in ship
yards where they are paid the same
wages as the skilled workman. This,
he said,- slows down production.
/. Representatives of the department
of justice, Mr.. Bloodgood declared,
have told him that German propa-
ganda cannot be dealt with by the
department or in the civil courts, AS
an example, he charged that Victor
Berger since he was indicted for dis
loyal utterances in Chicago, and re-
leased on bail, has multiplied his ut
teralfces in bitterness. In view of the
fact that %, per cent of Wisconsin, IS
people endorsed the Berger platform
in the recent election Mr.. Bloodgood
said. he did not believe it possible to
get jury in Wisconsin that would
convict Berger.
