The monkey from which the gland
was obtained will live and will be
closely watched for developments.
The operation, according to DR.
Sigmund krumholz, specialist in
neurology. will start Mary. who, he
says, has the mind of n 6-months-
old baby, "on her way to live"
Crouched in a chair at the Amer

Mary, a mere mass of bones and
skin, stared. vacantly. Her weight
Is exactly SO pounds and according
to Krumholz, she Is incapable OF
thinking, speaking and walking.
"All she can do is to sleep and

What Uncle Sam L.
Doing for Farmers
GET THAT WOLF-TERSE
ORDER AGAINST
$4,000 MARAUDER

Get that wolf" is the sole order
under which H. F. Williams, of Custer
one of the most experienced hunters
in South Dakota. is working for the
Biological SURVEY of the United States
department of agriculture.
"That wolf" is q wicked veteran
with the cunnir- of criminal human
and with an account of SIS. 900 charged
against him for cattle and sheep de-
stroyed in the six or seven years of his
|depredations.
This big cattle thief has defied ali
efforts Of the local hunters. One oi
the tactics credited to him is that after
making kill of fat calf or steer and
eating his fill he makes a long trail
from his kill and back tracks on a
parallel line few rods away. He then
lies in wait at a point convenient to
the sheltering timber.
When hunters trail him with dogs
he watches them from his cover safely
to leeMard to avoid his scent being
carried.As the pack passes on the scent
he quietly sliDs into the woodland and
makes his getaway.
Stock raiscrs had about decided that
it would be necessary to board the old
"varmint" for the rest of his natural
life. or until he died from overeating;
but the Biological Survey IS deter
mined not to be defeated by a wolf,
and Williams promises to bring in the
marauder before another season is
ended.

CRUSADE AGAINST MOLES
NET FARMERS PROFIT

Moleskin obtained from animals
killed in the crusade fostered by the
Biological Survey. United states de-
partment of agriculture. against crop
destroying animals have netted $780,
600 to 10000 a year to farmers for
Oregon and Washington. Moles do
serious damage to grass and grain, and
a campaign of determination was
started against them through coopera-
ton of the Biological Survey and the
States Relations Service. As by
product of determination the fur of the
mole was found Of value. The pelt
of the northwestern mole is superior
to that of the Scotch mole. which is
generally used for fur garments. The
northwestern moleskin have recently
sold at from so to so cents apiece and
have been in great demand.
The total annual damage by rodents
to crops and grains in the United
States is estimated roughly at $500, COO
600. This is being cut down by sys-
tematic poisoning campaigns in var
ipus sections. The territory covered
in these campaigns in the last year
amounted to about 34.OOO.OOO acres.
The saving to crops in the destruction
of molcs and of such rodents as prairie
dogs. ground squirrels. pocket gophers
and lack rabbits is estimated to be
$lO.OOO.O0O year.

These facts were explained to the
members of the association and they
quickly saw the advantage of handling
the forest in the manner recommends
I'm order to save the young growth
they agreed to sacrifice 80 cents pei
thousand on the stumoage price.
Farmers in general who own small
bodies of timber will find it profitable
TO cooperate with their neighbors in
marketing their grown timber. In
many cases the individual amounts are
too small. as in the above instance, to
make it profitable for their owners to
advertise for bids or for sawmilis to
come in. When care is taken in Sc
lecting and cutting timber a woodlot
may be made source of income to
its owner for an indefinite period OF
years.

Bose.e Oct. 21.-"Canada is rushing
wheat into the Minneapolis market
at the rate of million bushels week
and making a profit of so cent a
bushel offered by the exchange rate,
stated Chairman John Thomas of the
Republican state central committee. in
respons to a question as to the status
Of the grain situation in the inter-
mountain country.
MANY inquiries" he added, "have
been received at headquarters relative
to the disastrous collapse in the wheat
market; in fact so numerous have been
the inquiries that it has been impossi-
BILE to answer all of them with a per-
sonal letter.
"Thc collapse has been due to the
fact that Canadian money is at dis
count of approximately twenty per
cent. that the United States is an
open market with an unimpaired cur
rency. and that Canada has a surplus
of zoe. 100000 bushels Of wheat for ex-
port purposes.
Contracts Future Deliveries
Canada has not been slow to take
advantage Of the situation, and in or
der to parner good United States dol
. lars, has invaded the markets of the
United States with contracts for flu
ture deliveries. issued against her
great wheat crop. and is rushing wheat
to Minneapolis at the rate of million
bushels week. and thereby making a
profit of fifty cents bushel offered
by the exchange rate. in excess Of
what can be realized by exporting to
Europe
"The result of this inflow of Can
adam wheat has been to break the
spot and future markets fifty cents a
bushel. and as the movement has only
started will doubtless drive the price
TO lower and more disastrous levels.
In plain words the break in the wheat
market and consequent ruin Of many
farmers is directly attributable to the
lack of adequate protective tariff and
the criminal apathy of the Democratic
administration"

CAREFUL CUTTING OF TIMBER
MAKES WOODLOT VALUABLE

With the help of the forest service
and the county agent, a number of
farmers who live in Hangman Valley,
Wash. lust north of the Palouse Div
ision of the St. Joe Forest, are CO.
operating this year in the sale of about
SOC. OO0. 900 feet Of timber.
Last fell the forest service was re-
uuested to aid these farmers in dis
posing of a considerable amohnt of
timber on their claims. 1t developed
that there were approximately zoo set
tiers who owned about 30O,OO0,OOO feet
of timber which they desired to dis
pose of as = unit in order to attract
some company capable of handling the
entire proposition. They were, how
ever. unable to agree upon a salts
factory price. The project had been
worked up by the local county agent,
. former forest service man, from
whom the request for help came.
The forest service agreed to make an
appraisal of the timber and to assist in
drawing I'D contract and sale condi-
tions. The appraisal was made last
spring and price fixed of about $3.50
per thousand feet. Although the land
is we'll adapted to agriculture, it will
not be possible for the owners to put
all of it into cultivation for a number
1t wears. Consequently it is to their
advantage to devote it to groing timber
until such time as it is needed for
raising crops. The stand consists of
yellow pine of good quality and con.
tains large number of trees Just be-
low merchantable size which will make
rapid growth when the old timber is
removed. 1t is distinctly case where
1t will pay the farmers to grow trees.

Do More Than Talk.
1t remained also, for the Davis ad-
ministration to bring to realization
the much talked of and often PROMISE
north and south highway. Former
administrations made it hobby for
conversation, but never accomplished
anything, except plan. By early spring
a good highway will connect the Pan
handle of the north with the southern
portion of the state.
Despite the increased cost Of mater
ial and living and despite the increased
cost of organized machinery of the
highway department for the extensive
work amounting to over $4,000, 900,
this department has reduced engineer
ing expense to minimum. The rules
and regulation of the United States
Bureau of Public Roads require an al
lotment of 10 per cent for engineering
and contingencies. but the department
of highways during the past biennium
has never reached that figure, but in
all cases has been great deal lower.
Because the standard of construction
under the regulations of the Federal
government entail an unusual heavy
engineering expense and as most of the
state work has been done with federal
cooperation, this fact becomes a re-
markable achievement.
This vast construction work on state
highways came at a period when our

CAMPAIGNS INCREASE USE
OF MILK IN MANY CITIES

Milk consumption was increased 80
per cent in a recent milk campaign
put on in Spokane, Wash, by the
state agricultural college and the Spo-
kane farm bureau. The work was sup
ported by almost every civic. organiza-
ton. with the assistance of represen-
tatives from the dairy division Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
During the week of the campaign
27.91l children heard talks on the value
of milk in the diet of the child, and
large number of these children helped
personally in various ways to make the
campaign success. The fifth. sixth.
seventh and eighth grades in the city
schools made clever milk posters. The
primary grade put on play "The
Milk Fairies" and all the children in
the graded schools wrote essays on
Milk is perfect food" A survey
made before the campaign showed
that milk did not enter into the regu-
ular diet of 4.77O children in the Spo-
kane city schools. or II per cent of
the whole. and that 8.846. or 3l.7 per
cent. drank tea and coffee regularly.

immediately following the campaign
with the corresponding month in the
previous year. The amount of butter
used in the cities after a campaign has
increased from IS to 70 per cent
