prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The livestock industry in the
Southern states is progressing at q
rapid rate. Some of the things beef
cattle extension specialists Of the
United States department OF agricul-
ture are doing TO encourage a COM
bination of livestock production with
cotton growing are described in recent
reports from the field. As a result OF
their activities thousands of pure-bred
cattle are being shipped into every
Southern state and carloads of fat
stock are being sent to livestock mar
kets from farms where cotton for
merly was grown exclusively.
During q recent month the special
lists visited 154 farms in 113 counties
in the states of Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee, and
travelled 32,5S7 miles to give specific
instructions to farmers and to con-
fer with other extension workers on
beef production. They attended ten
meetings, held twelve demonstrations,
and through their efforts a total of
129 pure-bred bulls, 324 pure-bred
COWS, and 1905 grade cattle were
placed on farms In the different
states. During the month also gen.
eral conference was held at Memphis,
Tenn, which was attended by state
and federal representatives of the de-
partment of agriculture, directors OF
state experiment stations and extern
sion workers, state agents, veterinar-
ians, and others interested in promot-
ing more and better live stock in the
South.
Assist in Livestock Shows
Among the many duties Of the beef
cattle specialists is to assist with the
livestock work IN connection with
livestock shows, and county and state
fairs. They assist breeders in max
ing selections of feeding animals for
shows. in arranging judging contests
and demonstrations, and in securing
better classifications and premiums
for worthy exhibits, all of which has
been the means of arousing interest
and making livestock exhibits more
attractive feature at the fairs.

state fair held in Memphis in which
was shown the best methods of feed
ing and raising live stock. Improved
cattle-feeding sheds, feeding hunks
and silos were shown together with
number of instructive placards giving
such information as suitable fattening
rations for 100O-pound steers, and
wintering rations for the breeding
herd. Farmers were urged to Gull
their breeding herds at this time of
the year and dispose of all inferior
animals. Arkansas farmers, particu
larry in the rice-growing sections
where there is abundant pasture ana
plenty of straw, have been good buy
ers of cattle from the drought area

But since, they declare, they have come to the conclu- sion that it would have been better, that peace would have been more last ing and the Germans would have been better sUbjugated, if they had con tinued the fight until Berlin fell. The cost of life, say many of the return ing soldiers, would have been justi- fled.
 Every one of the boys is glad to be back in this district Arizona looks good to them, they declare, and they will remain. Most of them will resume their former positions in the district after a few days visiting and resting and entertainment.

district was one of the most pleasant experiences of the entire enlistment period, according to the returning he roes. In New York the Rocky Noun tain club exerted every effort to make the visit of the Arizonans pleasant. Banquets and dances were features of this program of entertainment, but one of the most enjoyable of the features and one which each of the returned men will remember longest, was an fn- innate tour of the city under the aus pices of members of the club.
 Gov. Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona met the returning soldiers at the docks in New York, remained with them dur ing their stay in the Gotham, and re- turned with them to Fl Paso, travel ing on their train. He was present at most of the entertainments provided for the soldiers in New York and along the route of return to the west.

 Members of the returning S40th Ar tillery, with which most of the Bisbee boys were assigned, report that they saw all the active service anticipated, and more than they wish ever again to see in the future.

Some will arrive today at noon and others at midnight tonight. This is the message which returning soldiers bring back to parents, rela- tives and friends in the district as they are discharged and arrive home.
 Trains into the district yesterday and the day preceding brought back several of the returning heroes who had just been mustered out in Fl aso at Ft. Bliss. They report that organ izations are being mustered out by bat tery in battery order. When the last had departed about four batteries and the headquarters unit had been dis charged. Other batteries will receive their discharges within the next few days.

Mir. J. c. Barkwell, who has been employ ed by the Phelps Dodge Corporation as Supt. of the drilling operations on Sacra- mento Hill at Bisbee passed through Fl Paso yesterday enroute to Bisbee to spend a day straightening up his bushes affairs before returning to Ranger to take charge of all drilling operations for the Southwest ern Oil Development Company. Prior to MT. Barkwells going to Bisbee he was con nected with the oil industries of the East He has had unlimited experience in the Pennsylvania and Virginia oil fields and knows the drilling game thoroughly.
 Mi: Earkwell has spent the past three months in the Ranger district and his knowledge of drilling has been gained from his intimate association and acquaintance which he has had with drilling contractors. The Southwestern is therefore very forum ate in securing the services of a man who IS so well qualified to take charge of their work. They are fortunate in being able to commence drilling on their Woods tract next week as they have secured string Of tools and Mir. Barkwen has associated with him efficient and capable drillers and as- sures the company that he will have the we'll on this tract drilled in, in fifty days With his force of drillers he anticipates completing this job in even less time.
 This company has made strenuous ef forts for the past three weeks to get con- tractor who would undertake the work but on account of the great scarcity of efficient labor we would have been unable to get these men started as the jobs which ther already had under way have required more time due to their inefficiency. MT Bark we'll reports fifty strings of idle tools in that district with contractors clamoring for drillers. On account of the great rush they refuse to take on any more work.
 Our representative is in California pur- chasing another string of tools and as
 
 will put them into commission. We have no fear whatever that MT. Barkwell will not carry out his plans, as the men whom he has associated with him in this work are on a profitsharing basis which makes it more attractive than the regular basis of paying per diem.
 The Woods tract on which this work Is to be started needs no especial recommeu- dation because of the surrounding territory. The information which we received today is to the effect that the Perkins we'll the Allen well, the Wright well, and the Boyd well which located from one-half to one and One-half miles from this tract are com ing in big. These wells will be brought in within the next week or ten days.
 Those who are interested in our stock must place their orders immediately as the completion of either one of these wells will cause the public to take up the entire issue of option stock. and after that is exhausted the stock will be s1.00 per share without the option privilege. Place your orders to- day without fail with your broker who will wire in your reservation.

MOSES HARVEY.

Moses Harvey, naturalist, historian and divine, who spent many years in natural history investiga ations in New fOundIand, Canada, Labrador and ad- jacent waters was born in Armagh, Ireland, 99 years ago today. He was a graduate of Belfast College, and en- tered the Presbyterian ministry in 1S43. In 1852 he received and aC
 cepted a call to St. Johns, and in Newfoundland and Labrador aH% Maritime Provinces and their waters he found abundant raw material" for the naturalist. Next to the spread of religion, natural history research was his greatest passion, and he was also a student of history and the author of several historical works. In 1873 he discovered the devilfsh, or at least brought scientific proof of the existence of that monster of the deep, which up to that time had been dismissed by most naturalists as mythical creation of the fervid imag- nations of mariners and fishermen. The creature thus brought to public attention and popularly associated with his Satanic majesty, was given the scientific name of IegaIuthuthas Harveyi, in honor of the clerical nat uralist who had brought it to light.
 Moses Harvey's published works in Clude several of a religious nature, including ''The Harmony of Science and Revelation" a scholarly attempt at the reconciliation of theology and science, and Thoughts on the Poetry and Literature of the Bible,'' which rather unhappy title covered a, work of considerable merit. Besides pub fishing many other books, he contrt- buted many articles to ma gazines and newspapers, reviews and encycIope- dias, dealing with religious, historical and literary subjects, and with the history of Newfoundland, Labrador and Canada.

MISS B0YLAN
 IN FRANCE

Word was received today at the Catholic Charitable Bureau from Miss Marguerite BoyIan, formerly executive secretary at the bureau, that she has arrived in Paris, France on March 8. The letter was writ ten on board the ship and Miss Boy Ian relates a very interesting and delightful trip. She was not sea sick and was fortunate to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenes during the voyage.
 Miss BoyIan is one of a group of ten social workers, the first sent by the National Catholic War Council for work overseas. The work is in the interest of the American soldiers who are still confined to the French hospitals. The social workers will aid in the reconstruction and re-edu- cation of the soldiers and will stay there indefinitely. Miss Victoria Larmour has been appointed eXecu- tive secretary at the Catholic Charit- able Bureau in the absence of Miss BOylan.
