HOG CHOLERA Loss
SHOWING DECLINE
State Cooperation Helps Wipe
Out Destructive Animal
Disease.

Losses from hos cholera declined
greatly In the four years 1914 20
1917 and a further reduction is ex-
pected for 1918. says a letter from
the secretary Of agriculture TO Ad-
Olson T. Smith. member Of the
house OF representatives
The secretary calls attention 20
the necessity for state cooperation in
the federal governments campaign
against this destructive animal dis
ease.
The losses for 1914 totaled 6.304.-
SEQ animals. which. valued at 5000
"a head. made a monetary loss Of
s67,697. 461. for 1917. 2.952.144 ami
mails. valued at S11.73 a head, a
monetary loss of S32475.1g0. Dur
the four years the number Of ami
mails taken by the disease was 49,
S35, 1901. representing a value OF
s1SS.44S.643
Estimates obtained from state
authorities during November. and
reports from our inspectors in
charge Of hog cholera control work.
says the secretary. indicate that
here will be a further reduction Of
losses from the disease during the
present year 1916) except in New
York Pennsylvania and Washing
ton. where no cooperative work is
being conducted by the department.
The monetary loss. however, will
still be great owing to the increased
value OF this class Of farm animals
over that OF previous years.
"A recent article, i'm which con-
ditions in Iowa are discussed. indi-
Gates that the number Of hogs lost
i'm that state from cholera in 1914
was approximately 3. 600. 1000. while
the losses for 1917 amounted TO less
than 100000. Conditions in Iowa,
however. have been more favora bic
10 the efforts Of the cooperative
forces engaged in hog cholera con-
troll work in that state during the
last two years than previously.
The reduction Of losses has been
less i'm certain other states, due
largely to circumstances, which have
handicapped our efforts in control
ing the disease. We cannot hope 20
be so successful in states where hogs
have access to open ranges as In To-
caIities where herds are restricted
20 the premises Of the owner and
kept away from sources of con-
taminatiOn.'

every county has a farm bureau Of
which the County Agent is the mana

the feed dealers are enabled TO know
almost to a sack how much feed is

the same time 10 escape censure

The farmers who order feed in
carloads agree to haul the feed
promptly from the car and TO pay
cash, so that the local food man may
be able to give them the very best
price and to furnish the feed
promptly and adequately.
The feed manufacturers having
access to all sources of supply. are
able TO keep all their brands up TO

MILITARY INSPECTION
TO Be HELD MAY |
Encampment to Be Held Before In.
specion-Afternoon Drills
Likely

Because of the enforced idleness
of the military department during
the flu epidemic, and the failure to
carry on drill during the second quar-
ter, it is likely that drill will be held
on Tuesday and Thursday aftern ions
in order to prepare for the annua
military inspection made by a repre-
sentative of the War Department on
May 3. And because this inspection
is to be some two or three weeks
earlier than usual, the annual en-
campment will probably be held be-
fore that day. The place and dates
for the encampment have not been
decided upon. This information WAC
given out by Lieutenant Colonel
Wall Monday.
Due to the pep that Colonel Wall
and his assistant, Sergeant Chas.
Blake of Camp Lewis, has instilled
into the men drilling, a bugle corps
has been organized, a fife and drum
corps is in the process of organiza-
ton, while students are clamoring
for the establishment of a cavalry
unit, which was suggested by Col.
Wall on his arrival. Nothing def
mite can be announced as to the cav
airy until the board of regents
acts upon the matter. Unofficial ru-
NOR has it, however, that that body
of men is favorable to the PROPOSE
ton, so it Is not at all unlikely that
some celebrated "bay horse troop"
will be cavorting around the Palouse
hills in the near future.

|NTERSCHOLAST|C
WILL Be EXPENSIVE
Backing of Entire Student Body Will
BE Necessary to Make Big Spring
Event Success

One of the biggest, if not the big
gest, factor in advertising Washing
ton State College is the Interschol-
astic High school athletes from all
over the state come to Pullman and
see the college as it is and not as
represented through papers and pam
phlets.
1t takes money to support the In
terscholastic-a lot of it. This year
it will take approximately $1,000 to
bring the different teams here. This
money has to be raised from the stu
dent body, faculty and the business
men of the city.
The biggest item is railroad fare.
Last year fare and a third was al
lowed to all the teams, but this rul-
ing no longer holds good.
Last years expenses were approx
mately 5000 and it is easy to see
where railroad fare would eat up
5000 more.
AS everyone knows, there are only
about 500 students enrolled in
school, so tickets sold at so cents
apiece, as they have been in former
years, will mean that the student
BODY would only raise $500 from this
source, or about one-third of the ex-
penses.
Tickets sold at 81 will raise ap-
proximately $500. This leaves $500
70 lie raised elsewhere-from faculty
and business men.
Another item is the cost of medals
10 be given this year, which has not
oeen done in former years. This cost
will be about SIS.
In order to make this interschol-
astlc success, 1T is up to everyone to
get behind it and support it, not only
financially but boost it with whole
lot OF pep, and show the high schools
mat We are on the map.

Embroidery an Old Art.

Embroidery is supposed to be one Of
the earliest domestic arts, for it IS
argued that ii must have been EN-
ployed for decorative purposes very
soon after sewing was invented. This
