Pleads For Railroad Control.

Accomplishments of railroads un-
der Federal control in the last
twelve months and arguments for a
five-year continuance of Government
operation to provide fair test Of
unified direction were recited by
Director General McAdoo, testifying
before the Senate Interstate Com
MERGE Committee. After citing re-
forms effected under unified control
the Director General said:
II believe that even under the
handicaps of war conditions a suf-
ficient showing has been made to in
dictate that all the reforms Il have
mentioned are desirable as perma-
nent peace measures. Yet it is clear
that the general public has not had
an opportunity to appreciate this
and to weigh the real value of what
has been accomplished In view OF
the far-reaching Importance of any
solution of the railroad question
which may be adopted, the public is
entitled to have, before the present
Federal control shall be terminated
reasonably fair test under peace
conditions of the advantage to be
derived from these reforms.
1T seems to me that anyone who
wishes a fair and dispassionate study
made as to what is the best ultimate
solution must be anxious to have a
reasonable period of Federal control
after the war conditions calculated
to make for tranquility and single
mindedness upon the part of the
Federal railroad organization.
Referring to the increase in
freight and passenger rates six
months ago, Mr. McAdoo said that
similar action would have been
necessary even under private man.

and said it should be possible tc
lower rates materially this year

Amendment Likely To Be Ratified In
Short Time.

The probability is that the Federal
Constitutional Prohibition Amend
ment will be ratified before February
Il, 1919. The following Is states
have already approved the amend
ment: Mississippi, Virginia, Ken
lucky, South Carolina, North Da-
kota, Maryland, Montana, Texas,
Delaware, South Dakota, Massaclru-
sets, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana,
Florida. The following states which
have not ratified are considered GER
tain to do SO: Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, North Carolina. Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washing
ton, West Virginia. Wisconsin and
wyoming. All of these Legislature:
meet in January. The list includes
every state which has pot already
ratified except New Jersey, New
York and Pennsylvania and of these
three Pennsylvania is hopeful; New
York an even proposition and New
Jersey probably opposed to the
amendment.
Alabama, where action on the
amendment was thought doubtful
elected dry Legislature of rs to 10
in the Senate and rs to s. in the
House. In Connecticut there is a
Identification majority in the House
and the Senate is considered safe. Ii
Illinois there will be about 10 major
ity in each House for ratification. In
Rhode Island, only recently consider
ed against the amendment, the vote
in the Legislature will probably be
% to 16 dry in the Senate and SD to
45 dry in the House. The Wisconsin
Legislature, which would naturally
be considered uncertain, will ratify
by % to IL and SO to Al.
During 1918, Congress passed the
food stimulation bill with so-called
war prohibition section, which was
signed. by the President November
21st. Congress has enacted prohibi-
ton for Hawaii and the President

DOCS STILL AT TT.
Cannot False Sheep II Ours Are
Allowed To Run AT Large.

Allowed To Run At Large.
The farmer had visions last spring,
yhen the State Dog Law went into
effect, of future for his sheep that
would be. both profitable and safe.
His patriotic instincts led him to
stock heavily, to give more care to
his flock and introduce better blood
hat the worlds supply of wool and
mutton might be enlarged. The
Government was calling for more
wool and more meat, and in the
same spirit that he added to his
wheat acreage at the call, his sheep
program was at once enlarged. The
yoal for the State, as fostered and
announced by the State Sheep Grow
,rs' Association, was zone Million
Sheep on Maryland Farms" This lie
still the goal. Even though peace
s close at hand the worlds larder is
till short Of meat, and the needs for
clothing are such that wool produc-
ed at home will not lack for al
market, at a good price, for years.
But it avails little, even though
re have one of the best dog laws
in the United States, if that law Isl
rot enforced Some localities have
made the times rather strenuous for
logs whose owners do not think
enough of them to spend dollar
so for license tag. Others have

in, but no effort has been made to|

What 1t BATS Decides Whether
Bird Is Beneficial or Injurious.


Bird Is Beneficial or Injurious.
whether bird is beneficial or in
furious to growing crops depends al
most entirely upon what it eats. Ii
it consumes harmful insects the bird
is an ally of the farmer; if it feeds
largely on growing crops it may be
an enemy Not all birds are bene
fetal, but the useful kinds far out
number the injurious and SO great is
their value as insect destroyers in
the United States that to them the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
gives credit of being one of the
greatest controlling factors in limit
ing the development of insect pests
and in preventing many disastrou
outbreaks.
In the case of species which are
abundant or which feed to some ex-
tent on crops, the question of theii
average diet becomes one of suprem
importance and only by stomach
examinations can it be satisfactorily
solved. Field observations have
proved to be inconclusive. Birds
are often accused of eating this or
that product of cultivation, when an
examination of the stomach shows
the accusation to be false. !
The Biological Survey of the U. S
Department of Agriculture has con-
Quoted in the past few years a sys-
tematic investigation of the food Of
the species most common about
farms and gardens and offers to sup
ply information to any farmer il
doubt as to whether his birds are al
asset or liability.
Within certain limits birds eat the
kind of food that is most accessible
especially when their natural food is
scarce or wanting. Thus they some
times iniure the crops of the farme

their natural food in his improve

growers arises from this very causf

The great majority Of land birds

during the first few weeks. Many
species live almost entirely upon

when other subsistence fails. 1t If

of birds, however, remain during the
cold season and are able to maintain
life by eating vegetable food, as the
seeds of weeds. Here again is
another useful function of birds in
destroying these weed seeds and
thereby lessening the growth of the
