spread of livestock diseases when an
finals are transferred from one herd
to another or are used In community
circuits, is still another problem. This
matter, however, can be handled by
vigilance in field inspection and by
the adoption by breeders of well recog-
nized preventive measures.
There are other problems also more
or less knotty, but not presenting diff
culties of an insurmontable character.
In connection with the drive on scrub
sires there will also be waged a cam
paign against the scrub pure bred"
as it is called, in the endeayor to eli

served that the plan in no way inter-
feres with any. work in livestock inn
provement now being conducted, but
instead it is expected to make all the
work more definite and effective by
providing official recognition for pro-
gressive breeders, including members
of boys and girls clubs. Friendly CON-
petition is expected to spring up
among communities and entire states,
each of which will seek to excel in the
rate of livestock progress.

GATHERING OF CROP DATA

An outline Of the organization de-
veloped in the department of agricul-
ture through more than half a century
of experience in crop estimating, indi-
eating the care and t~horoughness with
which government crop reports are
prepared, is given in the annual report
of the secretary of agriculture.
For collecting original data the bu-
reau of crop estimates has two main
sources of Observation-Disclosures re-
porters and salaried field agents. The
voluntary force comprises 33,743 town
ship reporters; 2,752 county reporters,
who report monthly or oftener on
countrywide conditions, basing their
estimates on personal observation, in
CURRY and written reports of aids, of
whom there are about $500; 10 special
lists of co-operators, aggregating 1877
900 names, who report on particular
products, such as live stock, cotton,
wool, rice, tobacco, potatoes, apples,
peanuts, beans and the like; and TO-
100 field aids, including the best in
formed men in each state, who report
directly to the salaried field agents of
the bureau. The total voluntary staff,
therefore, numbers approximately 200,-
900, an average of about sc for each
county and 4 for each towship. The
reporters, as a rule, are farmers. They
serve without compensation, and are
selected and retained on the lists be-
cause of their knowledge of local con
ditions, their public spirit, and their
interest in the work. All except coun-
ty and field aids report directly to the
buReau, and each class of reports is
tabuated and averaged separately for
each group and state.

Nations MIX Average Low

For many years this country has
contained thousands of the finest spe-
cimens of live stock in the world, but
in spite of that fact the quality and
productive capacity of the average
farm herd and flock is still low. For
instance, the average dairy COW in the
United States yields about 1000
pounds of milk a year, a figure scarce
ly two-thirds the average production
in some European countries, such as
Denmark. The United States has
thousands OF cows which have milk
yields of more than $4,000 pounds
double the Danish average-but on the
other hand it has hundreds of thous-
ands which are kept for milk and yet
yield only a small fraction as much
product as the best cows, though re-
ceiying nearly as much feed and care.
The difference in milk yield is due
in large measure to a difference in
breeding, but a herd of low production
can be improved rapidly by the use
of a pure-bred sire from a family of
high producers.

BAzAARS OF INDIA

The day of the bazaar In India has
long passed without hope for any re
turn of its glory. Yet the visitor. In
search of novelty, may still be fairly
well satisfied with the results Of the
effort he must make to see what re.
mains of the curious life in those
places which are different from every
thing in this land; their neares paral
lei being the French market in New
Orleans, or a county fair, says the
Christian Science Monitor.
The stranger to India should take
the precaution to secure the services
as a guide and physical protector OF
a thoroughly competent interpreter,
one who is c~onversant with at least
half a dozen of the numerous dia.
lects spoken in midas commercial
circles and who-when it comes to buy
ing or rejecting-knows at a glance
"a hawk from a ~herneshaw'' because,
as a decidedly cynical Englishman
said, "Nine-tenths of the stuff display
ed in those Indian bazaars are spurious
and the remainder utterly worthless
rubbish" An exaggeration, of course,
yet it is a hard matter to find the few
gems that may be there; and, at any
rate, If the purchasabIe inanimate hui

fatiguing hours in a bazaar.

1t is not many years since that the
bazaar at Delhi, to take at random

of ground, covered with all manner Of
ramshackle buildings, the ground

We're a few fairly broad thoroughfares
which traversed the section from side

really interesting and attractive shops

who ventured alone was quickly lost;
and when he betrayed his misfortune
by act or word, was sure to be pounced
upon by a flock of human yultures

More slrIoIn Or WeIl.sred cattIe

Among all classes of live stock a
similar condition exists. Proper
breeding of beef animals results in bet
ter and more uniform stock, having
a greater percentage of desirable cuts
of meat and a smaller quantity of
bone, offal, and inedible parts. Like
wise in swine, sheep, goats, and poul-
try production, the kind of parent
stock largely determines the quality
and market value of the products. The
crusade of improvement now to be n
dertaken is the outgrowth Of investi-
cations In genetics, Of livestock obser-
walton in many countries. and a close
study of public opinion. In most live
stock regions of the world a gradual
evolution toward better live stock has
been taking place for centuries. The
rdpidly of these changes has an inn
portant bearing on world commerce
and on teh prosperity of the nations in
which Improvement has been greatest.
Individual and community efforts in
many cases have resulted in marked
livestock progress in small areas. The
islands of Jersey and Guernsey are
familiar examples of this kind of &C.
complishment, but no large country so
far has e%ndeavored in an organized
way to improve all its livestock sim
u~ltaneousIy.

ply open drains, usually so torpid in
their flow that the stencil was almost
overpowering, and the visitor from
abroad wondered how any human be-
ing could breathe the fetid air all day

the bazaar denizens.
Nevertheless, those were the days
when it was quite possible to pick up
really a r and precious bargains for

many kinds, jade ornaments deftly

treasures such as nowadays never

snapped up by professional dealers
the moment they leave the hands of
their original owner, whom want com
pels to sacrifice, and the dealer knows
exactly where lives the rich Indian

top-most price.
The glory of the bazaar, like that
of practically all that was pictures

of purchasing is not reached even

Livestock Men Equal to Task

Officials Of the Bureau of Animal
Industry and others who have consid-
cred the problem from every angle
are convinced that it is possible to
hasten the natural ourse of livestock
evolution with benefit to the Nation.
They are confident also that the live
stock men of the country are eager
to undertake the task.
The can Of accomplishing most
of the improvement-Which affects
about 200, 000, 900 head of live stock,
besides poultry-will be through wider
distribution and increased use of pure
bred sires and dams.
Once the use of pure-bred sirvs be-
comes general throughout the country
the process of grading up will be rap

cal experience, when good sires are
used. show that within three genera

stock is graded up to such an extent
that for production of meat and 9TH
er animal products, they are practi-
cally as useful as pure-breds. The
chief difference between a high
grade animal and a pure bred is in
the value for breeding. Only the lat
ter can be used in producing pure-bred
breeding stock. Moreover, only pure
breds are eligible to registry.

rs already have signed election blanks
for their freshman work in the local
high school according TO statistics
compiled by City Superintendent OF
schools f. Il. Austin. These. with the
influx OF new students from other
towns are expected to swell the fall
freshman class to more than ice. Last
fall slightly more than ZOE entered the
high school
Eighth grade graduates were asked
to register before the close of last term
in order TO allow the faculty to plan
distribution of courses to the teachers.
Nearly every student completing his
common school work signed the hign
school registration roll and the ma
jority were enrolled in the general
high school course, with several spec
ializing in college preparatory work.
Washington school furnished 81 or
the number which completed gram
mar grades, Lincoln so and Haw-
thorne II. Several Lincoln students
must take one or more examinations
in June in order to remove deficien-
cies due to the time lost through the
closing of the schols.
The number of eighth grade gradu-
ates this year varies little from the
