SIX WEEKS MORE
Of COLD WEATHER
SAYS GROUNDING
Little Animal Saw His Shadow
Yesterday Which Means
That Winter Is Not Over,
According to Old Belief,

If there's anything 10 tbs ground
hog business, you might just as well
defer the planting of your garden for
several weeks and make up your
mind to continue paying tribute to
the coal barous until along toward
the latter part of March. Yesterday,
you know, was grounding day" and
as the aforesaid grounding certainly
saw his, her or its shadow in this
neck o. the woods the little animal
will, according to tradition, retire to
has her or its dugout for another
snooZe of six weeks duration while
we unfortunate human beings wade
around through snow and slush and
eniure more cold weather.
The grounding was not even salts
fled to wait until Sunup to see his
shadow He must have sailed forth
about 3 a. m. with an electric torch,
as about that hour the weather took
a change for the worse and consider
able snow fell. Throughout the day,
while old Sol beamed down bright
ly and tried to do his best to spread
warmth and gladness in this vicinity,
his efforts were only partially sue
cessful, as the temperature hoYered
around the uncomfortable point and
many women were compelled to don
an extra 1avalliere to keep warm,
1t is true that this is not II very
good recommendation for our Italian
climate, but we can't help it. The
truth must be told. We are not to
blame for the existence of the ground
hog. If this little animal insists on
controlling our weather, the respons-
Utility must rest upon its head. New
Mexico we know, is noted for its sa-
luxurious climate, and if pesky little
grounding IS going to be allowed to
raise havoc with our weather we do
not see that anything can be done
about the matter except to suggest
to the United States biological survey
that the war on predatory animals be
extended to include groundhogs.
OF course, there is a faint hope
that this grounding tradition will be
knocked all awry his year. one eX-
pert asserted last night that the sky
was cloudy part of the forenoon,
and if it so happened that the ground
hog made his appearance early he
did not see his shadow. ON the other
hand, If he retired late Saturday
night and did not arise until the mid
die of the forenoon yesterday, he saw
it. The same person, who was in
Santa Fe last week, said robins had
been seen there, and that they were
sure harbingers of an early spring.

Only four men were reported to

deserters by the local draft board for
Bernalillo county-only Il fractional
percentage of more than 100 sent to
he army by the board too small for
any one brt "A mathematical shark

These were men who failed to re-
spond to mobilization orders. Those
who failed to return missionaries
or to report for physical examination

general at Washington, the board
taking drastic action only against
men who were called to entrain and
who failed to appear,
The number OF delnQuents was
comparatively large. but Claud Hut
to, chief clerk of the board. explained
Sunday that the greater part of the
delinquenc'es were only technical and
that the number was not an indict-
ment against the patriotism of the
'egistrants, Many of the delinquents
were aliens or health-seekers who
could not have been indicted. The
board ascertained the status of a
large number of these after they had
been reported to be delinquent and
then assigned them TO Glass V, made
up only of men who We're ineligible
for any kind of military service.
II was pointed out also that some
Of the men reported as delinquents
probably did not earn that desgna-
ton Some possibly failed to get the
boards notices to them. 1t was
known that considerable number

The board will pass out of existence

termination by all draft boards of

lists of delinuuents will be sent to
Capt. II. c. Reid, draft executive, at
Santa Fee with the rest of the board

lists, if anything, was not known at
the local boards offices.

ANTED|LUV|AN LOOMS
UP IN NEW ZEALAND

London. july Baron Munchau-
SEN" says the Daily Express is re.
inearnated in the person of Ivan Levey.
Who describes AN encounter with pre-
historic Moa in the wilds of North
Island, New Zealand. The story reads
like a chapter from Conan Doyle's
Lost World but Levey answers it is
true and renders fgH description
which is now engaging the attention
of London scientists.
He was assaulted. says Levey, by q
fourteen foot Moa. class of beasts
that had been generally supposed to
he extinct Its color was light brown
and its body huge and bulky. There
were no signs of wings; the legs were
disproportionaiiy massive. almost ele-
phantine, and the three-toed feet were
simply pouderous- A small head
rested on a long ostriehlike neck. The
Moa. says Levey, uttered a deep. boom
ing noise.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
ONLY TEMPORARY

The suga: situation in Richmond just
at this time has awakened memories
of sugarless days during the recent
world war. In some stores, 1t is said,
that only brown sugar is availa Bile.
Consumers are requested to use only
necessary amounts, there being they
declare, no necessity for boarding, a
full market being expected soon
The merchants predict that the exist
ing shortage here probably will be re-
lieved within the next few days
1t IS not believed that the shortage.
which merchants insist is only tempo
raray, Will serve TO boost the price OF
sugar in this city as has been done in
Atlanta and some other cities within
recent weeks. One report from At
lanta week or ten days ago was to
the effect that merchants were de-
manding-and getting--twenty cents
pound for white sugar The price
in Richm ond Is ten cents.

says A.. G. Palmer Of Indiana ir
Hoard's Dalryman.
The natural function Of the COW Is
first to maintain her bodily strength
and to produce merely milk enough
for her young. We have made an ar
tificial machine of this COW, and it Is
an unnatural function to produce milk
in large quantities.
Green grass" says Mr.. Palmer,
will furnish the nutrition for a cows
body maintenance. and its appetizing
and stimulating qualities will encour-
age milk production. 1t Is true; but
all too often the stimulating quality
reacts, and by encouraging greater
milk production when she does not re-
ceive a greater supply of feed, her
body makes up the difference so that
by the end Of the grass season--even
a good grass season--her body is
weaker than In the spring"
Mr.. Palmer says that in 1917 he fed
his cows until June 10th and. like his
neighhors, gave them pasture alone
until September 18th, when their
steadily decreasing milk flow made
him hurry delayed feed shipments
But in spite OF all that he could feed
them with rich concentrates, the dam
age had been done, and the milk flow
decreased until time to dry the COWS.

wv " think that farmers
and dairymen would I'M
derfeed their stock, II at all, In the
winter months when feed Is high, 1t is
a fact that the greater part of the I'M
derfeeding Is at the time when more
or less pasture Is available.
1.-THE practice Is to turn the herd on
pasture about the middle of May and
then along about June the cows come
in with their sides bulging. Their
milkf1ow picks up. We look at the
milk pals and the paunches OF the
cows stuffed with the new grass. and
say, We'll, there's no need Of founder
ing them. Wen just leave off the
feed from now on 1t is left off and
it stays of all through the summer !;
nil through the dry August weeks
when grass gets short, and clear on
until frost drives the cows into the
barn.
In consequence many cows 20
into winter insufficiently nourished.
Grass is but wet hay. And while
farmers have an idea that ii is an all
sufficient feed they would consider
lnyone crazy who would feed cows on
wet hay alone in the winter time"
