sowing to the lack of laws and reg
ulations making it compulsory for the
registration of addicts, 1t mas been I'm
possible for the committee to obtain
information which would give the ex-
act number of addicts in the United
States.
The causes Of drug addiction in the
order Of frequency were given by po-
lice authorities as follows: Use of
physicians prescriptions, association
with other addicts, prohibition, use
of narcotic drugs for chronic diseases,
curiosity to learn the effect of the
drug, prostitution, use Of patent or
proprietary medicines, use of certain
narcotic drugs as a stimulant, idle
ness, and use by dentists.
"What effect, If any, nationwide
prohibition will have on the situation
could not be definitely determined BY
the committee" che report says. 1.-THE
consensus appears to be that the num-
Der Of addicts will increase as soon
as the prohibition laws are enforced.
This opinion apparently receives some
support from investigations made in
some OF the southern states where pro-
hibition has been in effect for some
years."

Congress Gets Report Of Investi-
cation Conducted by Com
mittee.
PROMPT ACTION IS URGED
Strict Enforcement ef Law and Stop
ping of Smuggling From Canada
and Mexico Is Recommended
Lack of Adequate Laws.

Washington.-The alarming spread
of the narcotic drug habit in the
United States Is about to be called TO
the attention of congress in the report
of an investigation conducted by a
committee appointed by the secretary
of the treasury.
The chief findings of the committee
are:
The number of persons in the
United States addicted to the use OF
drugs exceeds 100000 at the pres
ent tines
Increase of the drug habit in the
dry South leads many authorities to
the conclusion that national prohibit
ton will swell the number Of victims
of narcotics.
Legitimate supplies of opium and
other drugs are struggled from Mex
leo and Canada and along the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts and furnished
to 1900 organized "dope" peddlers.
Summary of Recommendations.
The committees recommendations
INCLUDE strict enforcement Of the pres.
ent federal anti-narcotic act; add.
tional federal legislation; enforcement
of state laws; concerted action on the
part of state and municipal govern
ments to suppress the illicit traffic
stopping smuggling of dope from Can
ada and Mexico.
ut Is also recommended that edu-
cational campaigns be instituted In
all parts of the United States for the
purpose. of informing the people OF
this country including the medical
profession, of the seriousness Of drug
addiction and its extent in the United
States" says the report.

Fish More Scarce in Delaware

Some of the men have not caught
more than FIVE fish this season. while
several were found who have not av-

Records of the Washington Park
fishery show that the highest number
of shad ever caught in one haul was
about 5000, fourteen years ago. The
run of shad started to fall off in 1909,
when the United States fish commits
sion discontinued its steamer, the Fish

to propagate young shad. Since that
time the Torresdale hatchery has

PLAN OF GRAZING FOR GOATS
Give Vegetation Opportunity to Grow

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The production Of more mohair and
meat can be obtained in raising goats
on the range by following plan of
grazing which will give the vegetation
a chance to grow sufficiently to main
tain itself. Most goat ranges are used
throughout the year. This and the
general practice Of driving the goats
out from q corral at the ranch head
quarters and back every day for
months or throughout the year have
been largely responsible for deteriora-
ton of the range. An excellent method
Of giving the forage proper oppor-
tunity for growth is to divide the range
into three areas-one for spring, an
other for summer and fall, and third
for winter.
The number and distribution of the
goats on these divisions should be such

as to secure proper and uniform utili-
zation of the forage. The divisions
should be protected from grazing ex-
cept during the seasons determined
upon. On successive parts of the sum-
mer and foil range grazing should be
deferred until after seed maturity of the
forage plants so as to insure proper
reyegetation. On winter range the for
age close to the sheds should be re-
served for stormy PERIODS only.
The old practice of bedding the goats
ON the same bed ground every night
in the year prevents proper manage
lnent of the range and results in over
grazing, in uneven utilization of the
forage and general depreciation of the
range. This in turn has bad effect
on the condition of goats and the pro-
ductior of meat and mohair. The use
of many bed grounds widely distribute
ed over tire range aids materially in
improving the quality and quantity Of
the forage, reducing the trailing and
driving of the goats, and securing bet
ter growth Of goats and mohair. The
ideal system is to bed the goats wher-
ever night overtakes them, and it is
this system, called the ''bedding-out'
system, that growers of goats are
urged to adopt whatever practicable.
The bedding-out system cannot be
strictly adhered to during kidding, DUR
ing periods Of stormy winter weather.
nor just after shearing; but its use at
other times is practicable and it has
many advantages.
Range to be suitable for goats should
possess a mixture Of browse, grasses,
and weeds, be free from continued
heavy rains and SHOWS, and be well
supplied with bed grounds and water
| ing places. Browse furnishes most OF
the range feed for goats throughout
| the year, so that it should be abundant.
Grass and weeds are necessary for
does and kids during the spring and
summer, and are Of considerable value
at all times to give variety to the for
age.
Plenty Of fresh palatable feed has
marked beneficial effect on mohair pro-
duction, growth of the goats, and the
proportion of kids raised. 1t also re-
duces the proportion Of losses. There
fore, instead of overstocking range
with inferior goats, the producer
should stock it with the number ct
lhigh-grade goats which it can conserv-
atively carry.
The range goat should be the large,
well-built, early maturing Angora, pro-
ducing large quantity of fine mohair.
The body and chest should be relative
" broad and deep, the back wide and
straight, the thighs full, the ribs well
sprung, and the legs short, strong, and
set wide apart: Such Angoras make
possible a substantial revenue from
two sources-mohair and meat.
The does should be uniform, of good
size, have good constitutions, be good
producers of mohair, and should pro-
duce sufficient milk to insure proper
growth of their kids. The bucks should
more nearly approximate the ideal
than the does. They should be large
and vigorous and should produce
large quantity OF high-Quality mohair.
Only those wethers which produce q
very large quantity of fine mohair
should be retained in the herd after
they are two years old.
