to small domestic animals also.
Latah County Farmers Urged TO
Report
Latah county farmers who have
had success in controlling rats on
their places are urged to write to the
farm bureau office and relate their
experiences. In response to a similar
request published in the January
issue of the News, l.. A. Sheldon, of
Princeton, submitted the following as
as method which he used successfully
in controlling rats in an eastern
state:
The rats moved into the place and
took up quarters under the barn and
other buildings. The buildings were
so situated that run-off water could
be run under the buildings. This
was done and the rats were driven
out. AS they came out from under the
buildings they were shot and those
that escaped alive left the place. Mr.
Sheldon commends this method to all
who have buildings situated so that
they can use the method.

than 2-3 of these patients have one

are $500 of these patients. For these
patients there are / 200 beds at the

$500 beds in other institutions, but

There are 9,94S beds for these but

The remaining patients, 1858 are
suffering from tuberculosis. The
present facilities to take care OF these
are 1000 beds in the soldiers home at
Jackson City, Tenn, and 7,431 beds in
Public Health Hospital, but of these,
5,251 beds are not satisfactory.
Patients of all classes are increas-

praised the bulk of the work done by

said, to get prompt relief or hold any

WILL INSPECT CATTLE

| Most of the communities of Lataf
county that have had their annual farm
bureau business meeting have adopt
ed tuberculosis eradication as a par
of their livestock improvement pro
gram for 1921. The county agent has
written to DR.. j. ID. Adams, director
of the Bureau of Animal Industry OF
the Idaho Department of Agriculture
to learn when an inspector will be
available to work in Latah county
and to get a statement of the extent
to which the state and federal gov
ernments will indemnify owners who
have animals slaughtered in the tu-
berculosis eradication campaign. fol
lowing is a letter received by the
county agent from DR.. Adams and
dated January Goth:
Mr.. o. S. Fletcher, County Agricul-
tural Agent, Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
In answer to yours of the 9Th in
slant you will please be advised that
the state and federal governments
will pay two-thirds of the appraised
value, less the salvage, provided that
amount does not exceed $4,000 on a
grade and $4,000 on a purebred ami
NAL.
This, of course, is on herds whose
owners sign up the agreements pur-
suant to accrediting their herds.
Definite plans will be announced
concerning this work as soon as the
bills are passed How
ever, there will be a man in Moscow
soon to start accredited herd work.
Arrangements will be made to test
other cattle at owners expense, hut
no indemnities will be paid on herds
not wanting the accredited herd; but
all reactors must be disposed of by
the state, and arrangements will be
made to salvage those reactors when

70 SAVE Fish
ALONG COAST
Pollution of Water and Catching
in Nets Is Cause of Serious
Condition.
new JERSEY STARTS MOVE
Experienced Fishermen Say That Sup
ply of Migratory Fish Has Been
Seriously DepIeted-Other Sea
board States Are Sufferers.

| Newark, N. IA movement ha
| been started in New Jersey to saw
| from determination the migratory fisl
which spawn in one place and NOV
along the Atlantic coast with the
mackerel, menhaden, herring and nu
merous other varieties peculiar to GER
tain localities on this coast. Expert
enced fishermen declare that the sup
ply Of these migratory fish has beer
seriously depleted by the pollution OF
the areas in which they spawn and by
the reckless manner In which they
have been caught in nets.
The method proposed by the New
Jersey Fish and Game Conservation
league to prevent from determination
is to induce the United States govern
ment to take control of and regulate
the catching of these fish and stop pol
luton of the spawning areas. 1t is
contended that only in this way can
the increasing cost of fish food to the
consumer be checked or reduced.
Four Fundamental Points.
The four fundamental points In the
New Jersey leagues proposal for ma
tional legislation are:
Protect spawning areas against poi
luton.
Prevent fishing in spawning areas.
Regulate the size OF the meshes of
nets so the immature fish cannot be
caught
Protect the natural food supply of
eatable fishes.
The fourth point has to do with one
of the most perplexing phases Of the
salt water problem-the matter of the
menhaden industry. The menhaden,
otherwise known as mOssbunker, which
once swarmed along the coast In meal
culable numbers, attracting hordes of
edible fishes that preyed on them, have
been. slaughtered right and left to pro-
duce oil and fertilizer. In the view Of
experts their end is not far off, and
with their passing will disappear from
coastal waters many OF such
edible species as now remain.
Fisheries Board Breaks Down.
Efforts to cope with the problem
through state regulation here have
failed utterly, the last straw being the
complete breakdown Of the state board

METROPOLITAN HAS
.12% BLACK POLICY
HOLDERS - ENOUGH

NEW YORK, Dec. H. That the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany does not encourage Negroes to
take out policies in their institution,
and in fact prefers not to write up
Negroes at all, has Just been dis
closed by Mr. Woodward the Presi-
dent of the Company in an interview
with James H. Hubert. Executive
Secretary of the New York Urban
League.
Mr. Hubert has approached this
company more than once with a view
of making opening for members of
the race. Mr. Woodward admitted
that 12ee of the company's policy
holders are colored; stating that to
employ colored agents would stimu-
late more business among the race,
which is not desired. The law
forces us to give the same policies
to Negroes as we give to whites
while the rating due to the high
mortality among Negroes is almost
twice as great. Mr.. Woodward did
not hesitate to urge that Negroes
organize and support their own com
panies instead of seeking policies
with this company. While this com
pany has refused to employ colored
men and women in any of its depart
ments. this is. however, the first time
that it has gone SO far as to express
its adherence for colored business.
In statement given out yester
day Mr. Hubert said. THE Negro
has proven his ability to conduct
business enterprise. This attitude
of the Metropolitan should be known
not only to our colored insurance
companies but to every self-respect-
ing Negro who holds policy or con-
templates taking out insurance in
the near future. Even at a sacrifice
even if a policy with colored
company is few dollars more.
Until the Metropolitan realizes
that the Negro has place in this
enterprise not only as a beneficiary
but as benefactor. our ministers,
newspapers. social and civic organic
ations should urge a large patronage
and support of our colored insurance
companies he said.

BRITISH RULE
IN SO. AFRICA
HORRIBLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Accord-
ing to Solomon Platte, native Afri-
can editor and lecturer, the British
Rule in South Africa is worse than
Americas race prejudice.
In speech made here several
nights ago he said
Nowhere in the civilized world
were natives so barbarously treated
as in British South Africa"
Referring to the Arms Confer
ence he said there were societies for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
to children and to cats, but nobody
ever thought of preventing cruelty
to child races.
South African natives have also
made the supreme sacrifice for de-
mocraCy and characterization
which they will never know. The
bones of their dead warriors lie bur
led in the sand dunes Of German
Southwest Africa: in the malarial
forests of German East Africa; in
France and in the English channel
where transport ship went to the
bottom with $50 natives ON their
way to France. But he and his

He went on to tell how native ter

land were cut up into farms which
were granted to white settlers; the
natives thereon being literally forced

pass law to cultivate these lands
for the benefit of the grantees.
Further. these poems, he said, are
taxed by the Government, who
loaned the money to settlers to start
sugar plantations with no obligation
to pay interest until three years af
ter they have garnered their first
sugar crop; but severe fines and
terms of Imprisonment prohibit the
sale or lease of such parts of Zulu
land to the Zulus. So that Queen
