WRECK THE AIR SERVICE.
Junking of Greater Part of 1as Bil
 lion Equipment Considered.

Washington, March I0.-Report. that the War Department contem plates selling for junk the greater part of the aviation equipment pro, duced during the war at a cost oi $1 ,672, 100000, stirred up considerable indignation among Republican mem bers of the congressional military af- fairs committees today.
 According to information of the de- partment plans which have reached senators, the military air service is to be reduced from 30,000 flyers and 30,- 900 mechanics to 5000 flyers and 5000 mechanics and the larger pro- portion of the 7,5S0 training and 6,334 service planes and 10000 Liber- ty motors sold to the highest bidder
 Auction Valuable Material.
 The plan, it is said, also contem- plates the sale to the highest bidder of 30 million feet of selected airplane spruce, valued at 800 million dollars. together with 2 million yards of air plane linen and 30 aerodromes and balloon depots.
 In the absence of Secretary Baker, War Department officials declined to affirm or deny the report. Senator New of Indiana, member of the Sen ate committee on military agairs, said he was looking into the matter and added that if the War Depart ment really intended to wreck the air service and junk the equipment the act will be little short of a crime, in view not only of the valuable materi- al that would be sacrificed. but of the setback that would be given the flu ture of aerial navigation in the Unit ed States.
 While the United States is taking no steps in the direction of the de. velopment of commercial aviation, Great Britain has adopted vast pro gram and has decided that it is i'm perative for her to attain supremacy of the air whatever the cost.

DIPPING SOON ID BRING ITS REWARD
Polk County Cattle Can Be Shipped fo Native Pens and Bring Greater Returns if Right Action Is Taken
 by Local Owners This Year.

Polk county's cattlement and farm ars are soon to realize reward from the tick eradication work that has been carried on in the past years. Within a short time steps will be talk en which should result in local cattle bringing their owners more money when sold and the value of tick eradi- cation demonstrated in way that allowss of no misunderstanding
 Now that the legal hindrance to cattle dipping has been removed thru the dissolving of the restraining or der by Circuit Judge Steel, the bat tie a gainst the ticks will begin in earnest within the next few weeks.
 After dipping has once started it will be possible to ship Polk county cattle to other places than the quar- antine pens ut the great packing cen ters. This opening of a wider mar ket will mean that the local steers, beeves and cows will not have to be restricted to limited place of sale, but will be in position to command and get larger prices.
 This advantage is due solely to dip ping against ticks, . nd is only fore runner of the benefits that will come when the quarantine is finally lifted.
 Grady Hand, inspector in charge of tick e radication work in Polk county, is preparing to get things ready that systematic dipping may start about April l. In recent inter view Inspector Hand stated he was authorized to issue an inspection or dipping pass. after dipping has once been started here, that will allow Polk county cattle to be shipped to clean territory or to the native stock pens in the market. This opportunity of going into the native division is going to be worth considerable to those stoclxmen and farmers having cattle for sale.
 With Polk county cattle ubjeet to release in this manner, Inspector Hand suggests that there is an op- portunity offered farmers and others to start a cooperative shipping plan in cattle, as is being practiced in number of counties in the shipment of hogs. The local county agent. will assist in the cooperative handling of cattle as willingly hogs.
 Inspector Hand is busy man these days as he pushing the work of getting chemicals to all the 82 vats in Polk county and getting them ready for the first regular ipings. He is rying to assist the farmers and stockmen of the county in every manner possible to have the quaran- tine raised and IS asking for the CO., operation of all those who seek better things for Polk county agriculture.
 If dipping of cattle will be followed this year on as close lines as during last season, Inspector Hand is confi- dent Polk county will be released from quarantine this fall.

HOW TO IDENTIFY PLANTS
THAT POISON MEAT ANIMALS

The United States Department oi
Agriculture is directing attention Ia
the great saving OF meat that can be
effected through prevention OF stock
poisoning by poisonous plants OF the
Western cattle range.
Bulletin b75, issued by the depart
mont, tolls how to identify many OF
the plants that have caused thous-
sands OF animals TO sicken and die,
and also gives methods OF treatment
for animals poisoned through eating
the plants. The bulletin also con-
tains pictures OF poisonous plants and
aims TO give help OF such nature
that scientific knowledge will not be
necessary in making use OF the in
formation contained.
Estimates made in many localities
indicate the average loss OF range
animals must be as great as to s
per cent. while in some range states
II rises to much higher figures. In
~ 40 tntimhtSd tho tOooop
amount to $1,000 100000 annually,
while sheep growers in Wyoming
have placed their annual loss as 14.s
per cent. These losses, too, to q
large extent are of mature animals
ready or nearly ready for market
and for the rearing of which large
sums have been spent.
The departments extended inves-
legations of poisonous plants OF the
range Is still in progress. but the
definite results obtained 40 far have
been sufficient to show that the
heavy losses are due to n compare
lively small number of plants. II
the stookmen and herders can recog-
nise these plants and will act upon
the information contained in the new
bulletin and others which have been
published on the subject. 1t is be-
licved that most OF the heavy losses
can be avoided.

Since the last gun was fired on the
18th OF November, 1918, great
deal OF water has run under bridges.
A peace conference has sat at Ver-
sailles, discussing alternately Utopian

ment. France wants an enormous
indemnity from Germany, and Eng

cial advantages, has not consented
