The Norfolk q Western railroad of
which Il. Gilbert Wood is Agricultural
Agent (Roanoke, Va.,) was directly
responsible for placing orders for GO

the month of September 1918. A four
page livestock bulletin issued by this
railway on March 1, 1919, had result
ed IN placing orders for G2 carloads of
Agricultural Lime by March 18th.
The arguments which sold this lime
were these:

Says w. C.. Il. u. Hopes to Have Con-

New York, Aug. 2.-After two
months inquiry conducted in this city
Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere
to determine whether there was a
concerted campaign to bar the use
of tobacco now that liquor has gone
by the board, the Association opposed
to National Prohibition ISSUED a state

Women's Christian Temperance Union
was backing a movement to have anti
nicotine laws enacted in every State
in the Union.
The w. G.. II. u. will celebrate it's
Gftieth anniversary five years hence
and that organization is hopeful Of

the cultivation, sale, use or export of
the weed for smoking or chewing
purposes, the statement charged.
TO Crush Nicotine.
The $5,000,00 drive begun last
March by the White Ribboners, it is
alleged, has for its object the crush
ing Of demon nicotine and to this end
the anti-prohibitionists say 100000
will be expended ostensibly on "child
welfare" "health and morality" "ed-
ucation and information" and other
propaganda methods by means of the
churches and public schools.
The Association opposed to National
Prohibition further charged the w. c.
II. u. with planning to finance it's
campaign against nicotine without
appealing directly for funds or nam
ing the purposes for which the money
is to be expended. In support of this
it asserts that already, "in the guisc
of public school recitation books
which fiagrantly violate the sancity of
home and final DEVOTION" fathers who
use tobacco are portrayed as "flthy
and unfit for children caresses."

this year to furnish pasturage for
many head Of cattle from drouth-
stricken sections of the west and
northwest. as the gulf states did last
year and the year before to cattle
from western regions where drouth
prevailed.
Experts of the department Of agri-
culture, as well as others familiar
with conditions in the southeast.
realize that there is ample pasturages
on the cutover lands of the coastal
plain area for many thousands OF
cattle This pasturage is SO situated
as to permit convenient shipment of
cattle to market at the proper time.
Some of the drouth- threatened cat
lie viii be moved TO pastures in
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas. Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Michigan, but the
number to be moved is reported to be
quite large and may overflow into
the southeast.
Assistant secretary of agriculture
Ousley is keeping in close touch with
the situation. He explains that the
department does not move cattle to
escape drouth conditions. but that II
collects information as to where
pasture can be had and offers its ad-
vice and assistance in connection with
moving them Mr.. Ousley added that
sometimes the cattle owner leases the
new pasturage. but that frequently
the stock is sold and shipped from
new pasture to market
Unless moved from the regions Of
drouth this summer and fall it is
feared that thousands of cattle will
