Gestures in Ivory"
Not Genuine Ivory

THE poetry Of Mr.. Harold Hersey,
i editor of The Thrill Book, as ex-
emphfed in Gestures IN Irory, must be
RELOCATED to a rather minor place in the
list Of contemporary poetical achievement,
but it is interesting as fair application
of a certain trend in modern verse. The
poets of Greenwich Village who sing not
wisely but too passionately are
bitten alternately by two demonstrate
ealism, which is not so old; and art for
arts sake, which went out of fashion with
the dear dead Cos Mr.. Hersey, admittedly
q bit more coherent and restrained than
most of his brother artists, displays both
passion and radicaiism in his pieces, many
Of which are written in an extremely loose
free verse that consists for the most part
Of prose sentences divided into a rough
line sequence.
That he does approximate a certain
poetical ardor at times may be. readily
conceded, but bis themes are so amor
phous in structure, so disdainfully weak
ON their metric legs and so lacking in the
ift and throb of genuine inspiration that
be leaves an uneasy sense of Incomplete
ness and failure Time and again he
appears to be at the point Of taking
fight; the moment passes and his wings
have failed him.
Greenwich Village, particularly that
minute blind alley known as Patchin
Place, and the life of drafted man who
had the Ill luck to remain on this side of
the ocean during the late war, are the two
paramount subjects in the book. The vii
lage pieces are often musical and cow and
then have their poignant moments; wit
ness The Half Baked Ones. A dreadfully
archaic sonnet sequence "to Miladi" dis
figures this part of the book, however.
It must be admitted with genuine regret
that Mr.. Hersey belongs to the vast
army Of mediocre poets who almost but
never quite arrive.

BETTER HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Under Federal Supervision Production
Has Increased and Quality Has
Been Improved.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Less than I per cent of hog cholera
serum manufactured under federal
supervision during the last year was
found to be unfit for use and it's sale
prevented by federal officials. OF 271,-
402530 cubic centfmeters of serum
made in licensed establishments, 2,488,-
661 was declared unfit. Corresponding
figures for last year were 238 1851; ;279
cubic centimeters of serum produced
and 5,036,S75, or more than per cent.
was unfit and likewise withheld from
market.
This comparison shows that federal
supervision has increased the produc-
ton of serum for combating hog ehol-
era in the United States and has inn
proved the quality. Serum declared
unfit is not, however, necessarily IN
jurious; it is frequently condemned
merely for lack of potency. Hog
cholera virus used simultaneously with
serum is subject to similar control.
In it's supervision of hog-cholera
serum and virus manufacture the bu-
reau of animal industry prevents eth
er product of doubtful quality from
leaving the establishment in which 1t
is mnde. A knowledge of this policy
by swine raisers Of the United States,
1t is believed, will cause more herds
to be vaeeinated and result in greatly
reduced losses from hog cholera.

SCOUTS IN INDIA GROWING

A letter from the director of the
boy scouts Of Mysore in India to ma
tiOnal headquarters of the Boy Scouts

"Our strength has increased to about
forty troops with membership Of
over nine hundred. I have had fine
scoutmaster's training classes at Ny
sore City and Mt Bangalore, with
model troop of scouts for demonstra-
ton purposes.
"Scout work for Indian boys Is de-
velOping rapidly all over the country.
In Calcutta we have the Boy Scouts of
Bengal. which is doing good work
both under Indian and European lead
ership. The great native state of Ba-
roda and the British Central provinces
want to start boy scout work, and the
government of the native state or
Travancore Is now considering the In
PRODUCTION of scouting among its boys

go. as there are over thirty million
boys of scout age in India and we have
difficulties here that are unheard OF

hundred languages, very deep-seated
religious divisions and the ever-pres-

participate in the distinction.
report recently published by the
Alberta Department of Agriculture
shows that in 1918, in spite of adverse
conditions of labor and the high cost
of feed. there was no decline in the
industry. 1t will be interesting to
know that the average number of
mich cows per farm is Sc. The total
production of creamery butter in the
provinces in 1918 was 100000. as
against S.944,000 pounds in 1917.
No better evidence of the growth of
Western Canada can be given than by
the fact that i'm ten years the produc-
ton of butter has increased from
100000 pounds and of cheese from
$3.50 pounds 10 650,000 pounds. When
it is known that in the production of
grain so much energy was placed. and
through which bank deposits were
increased. homes made comfortable
farms carefully titled. it will be real.
ized that the increase in dairy produc.
ton has been remarkable During the
past four years the price OF the pro-
ducer increased 75 per cent.

| industries is found in recent bull sales

in Manitoba Il few days ago gave fully
as good an average. or better. The
sales were attended by farmers from
all parts of the country. The high
prices paid show that good stock was
required. and, no matter the price, the
farmer had the money to pay for it.
AS evidence of this we find that at a
sale recently held at Carman. Mani
toba, buyers were present from all
parts of the province, besides some
from Saskatchewan points. Five head
of Herefords brought $500 each. A
Shorthorn bull was sold for $500 and
registered Shorthorn cows brought
$500 each.
The establishment of creameries
and cheese factories throughout the
entire West is Oh the increase. and it
will only be within the period of n
very few years before Western Can
ada viii occupy position in the first
ranks in the dairy production of the
continent.
There is complete government su-
pervision over creameries and cheese
factories. The government takes care
of the sales, looks after the manufac-
turer and employs as heads of the in
stitutions highly paid and efficient
managers.
1t may well be said that the dairy
| industry of Western Canada is rapidly
coming into its own. At present it is
but an adjunct to the parent or fore
