START FLOCK OF SHEEP NOW
Best Time to Begin With Animals Is
When Prices for Breeding Ewes
Is at Low Mark.

The best time for the farmer to be-
gin raising sheep is when the price is
low, as it, is at the present time. In
addition to the reasonable figure ut
which breeding ewes can be secured,
the fact that there is plenty of hay
and other roughage and short grain
and much waste in the stubble due
to rust, makes this fine year for the
farmer to get started with small
farm flock.

with the grievances were not party
to the national agreement.

.se
Inspired by the conviction that the
United States should have a navy as
strong as that of any other nation,
the senate naval affairs committee re-
ported against the Borah resolution
for a six months naval construction
holiday. The report, presented by
Senator POindeXter, said the commit
tee was as anxious as possible to
bring about reduction of ornaments,
but that no disarmament would be of
value unless it were general and, in
the case of the great maritime powers,
universal. "Unhappily this is not the
case at the present time," continued
the report, "and we must deal with
conditions as they exist. For one
nation to leave itself exposed to at
tack while another is preparing all
the engines of war would be not only
folly, but the greatest danger to the
peace of the world that could be mag
ined."
A temporary suspension of building,
it was pointed out, would cost the gov
eminent immense sums through de-
terioration of material and disloca-
ton of contracts; would throw large
numbers of workmen out of employ
ment, and, by rendering it difficult or
impossible to reassemble these forces
should work on vessels be resumed,
would give an immense advantage to
powers that had not interrupted the
construction of their fleets.
The committee upheld the conten-
ton of the navy board that the capital
ship is not obsolete 1t recommended
that twelve destroyers and six sub
marines, authorized in 1916 but not
yet contracted for, be eliminated from
the building program. These Is ships
were expected to cost the government
about $55,O00,000. The committee sug-
gested the use of this amount for the
construction of two airplane carriers
of the most modern type and OF the
most advantageous size.

Another senate committeeman on
immigration-al took important ac-
ton when it rejected, by a vote of
to 4, the bill passed by the house pro-
yiding for the suspension of immigra-
ton for one year. Senators Johnson,
Washington; Harris, Georgia; Har-
rison, Mississippi, and King, Utah,
voted for the bill, and Colt, Rhode
Island, chairman; Dillingham;, Yer
mont; Sterling, South Dakota; Reyes,
New Hampshire, and Phelan, Califor-
MIA, against it.
Next day the committee began con-
sideration of the Dillingham; SubSti-
tute for the house bill, and the indica-
lions were that it would be acted on
fayorably. This measure provides
that the number Of aliens of any ma
tionality entering as immigrants in
any one year shall be limited to 5 per
cent of the total number of persons of
such nationality already in the coun-
try, as determined by the latest GEN.
sus. The legislation would not apply
to immigrants from the American con-
tinents and adjacent islands, nor to
the Asiatic "barred zone" from which
immigrants already are excluded, nor
to Japan, immigration from which is
regulated by agreement. Some Of the
radical restrictionists will make a
aght to have the percentage cut down,
perhaps as low as per cent. In
Washington it was said there was no
likelihood that the bill would get
through congress before March 4.

sion, meeting here, is faced with the
problem of removing receivers of

nor Nestos, member Of the commission
and also of the banking board, and
Secretary OF State Hall, member of
the banking board, were in Joint meet
ing with the commission discussing
the situation late yesterday.
The expense of receiyership Of
closed banks has become problem
OF serious concern to those handling
the af6airs. In period OF eight
months the cost of receivership was
about $227,000 and the amount of
money collected was about $1OO, 600,
according to banking board members.
OF course, there are other adminis-
trative duties which the receivers at
tended to, such as renewal Of paper,
banking board members say, but the
enormous expense of many receivers
has caused no little concern.
The administration of some closed
banks was characterized by one bank
ing board member as "legalized rob-
berry" 1t is in most cases the receiv-
ers who have been charged with mis-
management and extravaganza who
refuse to resign. Six of them have
gone to the courts to obtain confirma-

The refusal Of some receivers to re-
sign has seriously interfered with the
plan of Governor Nestos to reduce the
expense of receiverships by consoli-
dating them and appointing men of
unquestioned standing as receivers.
With an opinion from an attorney that
the receivers can be removed, how
ever, it is expected that the state
examiner and banking board will pro-
aceed to-, enforce It's consolidation plan
as far as possible. 4
