Big Power Scheme
On the Colorado

Washington-An outline of a 3,0OO,-
900 horsepower hydro-electric power
development project, now under con-
sideration for the Colorado river, in
Utah and Arizona, is contained in a
memorandum issued recently by the
Federal Power Commission, composed
of the secretaries of war, interior and
agriculture, announcing receipt of
additional power-development applica-
cations up to December is. With
these included, the commission now
has 1923 applications before it.
Six of the eight new applications
were on California projects, the others
coming from Idaho and Alaska. The
memorandum adds, however, that in
the 129 proposals submitted are pro-
jects ranging from ten-horsepower
plants for summer cottages in Wyom-
ing to "the tremendous" Utah-Arizona
5000, 000-horsepower scheme.
"This projct contemplates,' the
memorandum said, "the construction
of a high dam at Lees Ferry, Arizona,
just south of the Utah line. The dam
will form a reservoir or inland lake
300 miles long, backing up the waters
of the Upper Colorado river and it's
tributaries, and having sufficient ca
pacity effectively in control the an
nual run-off of the Colorado river
above the dam, thus giving a constant
source of power in the river below the
dam and virtually eliminatin gthe dis
astrous floods that periodically cause
so much damage in the irrigation dis
tricts along the lower stretches of the
river.
1t is proposed to develop the power
by series of installations, beginning
at the dam and extending along the
river to the western boundry of Ari-
IONA, with the exception of part of the
river lying within the Grand Canyon
National Park, which is excluded from
the proposed Development"

"RedS" Chances
Poor in France
Says Leder

That France today is immune from
Bolshevist propaganda is the opinion
of Emile Leder, French hotelman,
on visit here. Moncieur Leder, who
has a European reputation as host
and is proprietor of the Hotel Europe,
at AiX-les-Bains, frequently enter
tanned Queen Victoria.
"The Bolshevists have no chance in
France" said Monsieur Leder, for
the great mass of peasants are against
them. The pesantry is getting rich
and farmers are gettin gbetter prices
for their products than ever before.
They have never been so prosperous.
"And while they are becoming pros
porous they will never join the labor
elements of the towns and cities. If
city labor should come into the coun-
try and talk bolshevism they would
be driven away"
When asked how reconstruction is
being effected he said: work in re-
construction is slow and the effec+s are
already felt In the mining regions
the flooded coal mines are rapidly be-
ing drained and repaired. We will
soon have enough coal to increase
train service"

DARK BUILDINGS
ARE DANGEROUS

Now that the fall work is practically
completed and the season for rush
work over, farmers will find more time
to devote to the things usually ne
elected in the busy spring, summer
and fall months.
Zone of the things most frequently
neglected or overlooked is farm build
ing sanitation and nothing is more i'm
portant," says T. e. Munce, head of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture.
st too frequently happens that much
time and hard earned money are spent
in buying good stock with the view of
building up good herd, only to place
the newly acquired animals in a dark,
badly ventilated and frequently damp
stable, to become exposed to the dis
eases that usually Turk in such places.
aside from the question of health,
it is known fact that oxygen is re-
quird to produce milk and beef. Herd
owners who have not yet come to rea-
lie that it does not pay to raise and
feed diseased stock certainly know
that it pays, from a milk-producing
point of view, to stable their cattle
in quarters provided with plenty of
fresh air and sunlight. Remember
that fresh air (oxygen) and sunlight
are absolutely essential in milk and
beef production; also that they are
the best and cheapest disinfectants
known. Since they cost nothing and
are essential to food production, why
exclude them from the barn, hog pen
and poultry house? Why not use
them?
ut is important, therefore, during
the winter months for the breeders
and dairymen whose barns are defect
i've in this repect, to place them in
proper cor at least better shape. 1t
will pay to do it. The Pennsylvania
Burau of Animal industry, Department
of Agriculture, will give advice, on
how this may be most economically
done"

PENNSYLVANIA STANDS HIGH IN
TUBERcULAR TESTED CATTLE

Pennsylvania is rapidly forging to
the front in the number of herds of
cattle that are officially accredited as
being free from tuberculosis. Reports
of DR. T. e. Munce, head of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture show that
there are 4O2 full yaccredited herds in
Pennsylvania, which rank fourth in
the United States in point of numbers.
The greatest satisfaction to the Of
ficials of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment however,, is the fact that the
quality of the inspection work done is
showing up exceptionally well. OF the
65 hrds that have passed thir first
year under the accredited plan, every
herd has passed its annual examina-
ton with perfec score. This con-
dition can only be obtained when the
first testing work is done in thor
ough and scientific manner, as herds
that are free of tuberculosis when
finally tested, may easily acquire tu-
berculosis in years time, unless the
surrounding conditions are almost per-
feet

The Only Way to
"Get In" With
Big Men

The question is most frequently
asked me, especially by salesmen,'
says B. c. Forbes, famous business
writer, lis how l have been able to
get the very biggest financial, indus
trial, railroad. and mercantile lead
ers in America to open up and talk to
me unreservedly.
Briefly, you must earn the repu-
tation for unimpeachable truthfulness,
for accuracy, for fairness, and for
knowing your job Win the confidence
of one leader in any line and he will
gladly recommend others not to be
afraid to have dealings with you. The
richest man in the world gave me as
the most important step to success,
First earn a credit, a character, a rep
utation'
"The only way to earn a reputation
is to fill your job better than it has
been filled before, to tell the truth,
and to save enough money so that you
can be able to tell anyone who tries
to put anything over on you to go
plumb to where he belongs. Be cour-
teous; be gentlemanly; be obliging;
do everything you can for others; but
lick nobOdy's boots. KOw-tow to no
one. Fear no one. Every real man,
whether he be multimillionaire EN-
ployer or day laborer, admires man
who neither swaggers nor crihges,
who respects himself too much to
show disrespect to others worthy Of
respect"

DEPARTMENT WILL AID IN
SECURING COAL
FOR POULTRYMEN

Poultry breeders in Pennsylvania
are faced with difficult situation as
a result of the shortage of anthracite
coal in many sections of the State.
Breeders everywhere complain that
they face heavy losss unless an ade-
quate supply of coal is secured for
their breeding pens.
Under the regulations governing the
anthracite trade in Pennsylvania, it is
impossible for the poultrymen to buy
their coal direct from the mines. In
every case it must go through the
hands of a local dealer or jobber.
While it is impossible for the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture
t ochange the stated order of things
in the anthracite trade, the depart
ment will use its offices to assist the
poultrymen who are unable to secure
sufficient coal to carry on their bust
ness. Breedrs who find themselves
in this predicament should communi-
cate with the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture at harrisburg.
A prompt effort will be made to assist
in relieving the conditions as they are
reported.

FARMERS ORGANIZATION TO BE
TAKEN UP AT STATE FARM SHOW

Much interest is being shown by
farmers business organizations
throughout the State in the meeting
that will be held in connection with
the Farm Products Show which will be
held in Harrisburg, January 24-2S-
This meeting has been arranged for
discussion of one of the most impor-
tant problems that are before such
organizations at this time. While the
meeting is being called for the pri-
mary benefit of managers and officers
of such associations other interested
persons are invited.
Mr. F. S. Ruggles, who is in charge
of the organization work of the United
States Bureau of Markets, will discuss
ways of securing better organizations.
Mr.. w. B. Connell, of State College,
will explain the work which has been
done in the selling of wool in Pennsyl-
vania, and Mr.. B. B. Mason, of State
College, will report on the account
ing systems which are in use by farm
ers organizations.
There will also be an explanation
of the future work of the Burau of
of Agriculture with such organizations.
The balance of the program will be
devoted to a genral discussion of the
problems which individual associa-
tions have at the present time. This
portion of the program will be of par
ticular value to everyone attending the

SEED SAMPLES BEING TAKEN
THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA

Samples of seeds are now being
lifted throughout Pennsylvania, by
special agents under the direction of
Dr. E. M. Gress, recently appointed
as State Botanist by Secretary of Ag-
riculture, Fred Rasmussen. The work
was formerly done under the direc-
ton of the Bureau of Chemistry of the
Department of Agriculture, but DR..
Gress and his assistants have been
attached to the Bureau of Plant In
dustry.
A complete laboratory for the test
ing of seeds, both for purity and ger
mination, has been fitted up in the
State Capitol and the seed samples
taken will be thoroughly analysed.
A movement is on foot among Off
Gals of the Department of Agricul-
ture of the various States, to adopt a
uniform seed law, with provisions for
the ample protection of the farmer
against the agent selling not only inn
pure seeds but seeds in which the
vitality is low. The uniform seed law
will likely be adopted before January
1, after which it will be presented to
the Legislature of the several States
for their approval.

Economists Praise
Federal Reserve

Federal taxation and the Federal
Reserve banking system were the out
standing topics today in the national
convention of the American Economic
Association.
Fred Rogers Fairchild, professor of
political economy in Yale University,
in urging an early abandonment by
Congress of the corporate income tax
asserted that it works an injustice to
thousands of small stockholders, and
actually deprives a number of small
scale shareholders of the beneht of
exemptions and the low normal rate
to which they are entitled. He advo-
Gated that dividens be taxed exactly
like other income and, assuming that
the excess profits tax is to be repealed,
that tax be imposed on the undis-
tributed income of corporations.
Conditions under which the Federal
Reserve Board has worked up to this
time have been so extraordinary, that
six years at least of trial under normal
conditions will be required to deter
mine the full possibilities and the
shortcomings of the system. O. M. w.
Sprague, of Harvard University told
the convention.
1T is one of the inestimable advan-
tages of the Reserve SYSTEM" he said,
that the brakes were applied bfore
the supply of credit was exhausted
and before the trade activity had cul-
minated in a crisis. We are still in
the midst of period of necessary re-
adjustment and liquidation, but the
immense superiority of the Reserve
system is compared wit hour former
means of meeting similar situations
is already conspicuously evident"

Bolivian Cocaine

The most profitable agricultural
product of Bolivia is the coca plant,
from which abe anaesthetic cocaine
is derived. The world depends mainly
for it's supplies of coca leaves, says
the Kansas City Star, upon that South
American country.
The Bolivian natives commonly
chew it for it's narcotic effect 1t en-
ables the Indian burden-bearer to go
witout food for a long time, and to
work long stretches without rest. I'm
fortunately, it's continued use is in
furious to the nervous system, and is
supposed to have much to do with the
degeneration of the native race of the
Bolivian plateau.
The coca plant is shrub three or
four feet high. It's leaves are of an
oval shape and light green. The shrub
is grown on terraces, built up on the
hillsides. These terraces are about 10
inches wide and are protected by ram
parts of earth faced with stones or
cement. The terracing prevents the
heavy rains from washing the whole
plantation down the mountain side,
and also holds the moisture about the
roots of the plant.
Young shoots are grown under a
cover of dried banana leaves, and
when sufficiently advanced are trans
planted to the terraces. The plants
begin bearing when two years old
After the leaves are picked they are
dried in the sun on a floor made of
