"Shrinkage" in bulk carloads Of pO-

cording to a survey of marketing con.

to 100 pounds per carload. The
"shrinkage" is less where potatoes are
sacked, as this reduces pilfering and

Following up the experimental
work conducted by Il. f. Horn OF
the biological Survey during the
months OF August and September,
a small crew was organized and
work commenced to destroy pocket
gophers In the territory lying In
the Malheur Valley between NAL
heur Butte and Vale. This was the
area on which the Valo Bureau haa
asked that the work be done, az
meeting In August. Mr.. Horn work
ed with the crew and kept close
check on the results. He reported
an average kill OF ninety per cent
the first<hme over with the poison.
During the month there came about
a demand for this work for practic-
ally all the land embraced in the
Vale. Cairo and Nyssa bureaus. To
satisfy this demand steps were taken
TO increase the number OF men EN-
ployed and otherwise expand the
work. At the close OF the month
fifteen men were working and near
ly ten thousand acres had been COW
cred, once over. II was evident !
that a much larger force would be \
required to cover all the territory |
for which the communities had made |
requests and that a very much larger |
revolving fund than the one thous-
and dollars originally allowed must
be provided.
The average cost per acre on the
first ten thousand acres for the first
application OF poison was little less
Than nine cents per acre. II is CO
,ulated that the second treatment
will cost somewhat less. This pro-
Iect required very considerable
lime in working out forms for keep
ng records, making maps, employ
ng men and making arrangements
'or them, securing supplies. and pre-
pairing poison and other details OF

LEAGUE ASSEMBLY WILL

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-One of the

be the preparations required to cable
the League TO use, il necessity arises,

and financial blockade contemplated
in Article XVI of the covenant.
a memorandum by Sir Eric Drum
mOnd, the secretary general, now be-
ing distributed to the members of the
league, and received here by the
League to Enforce Peace shows that
this question will come before the
assembly on the recommendation of
the league council in the form of q
proposal to appoint a body to be
known as the international blockade
commission. The Secretary-Gener-
suggests that this commission con-
sist of representatives nominated by
the countries entitled to permanent
membership in the council, with the
addition of representatives of four
other members of the league selected
by the assembly, for the purpose of
studying the problem and settling the
general plan of action, the organiza-
ton of the more permanent machin-
erv required and the principles on
1t should work.

to the United States because one of
