BUSINESS.

Extract from the Farmers Ex-
change Bulletin, Poison, Mont: IF
you are not a member, of the Lake
City Egg Circle we want you to come
and join and get busy with the poul-
try game. There is more real mon
ey in poultry today than anything
you can do on the ranch. Feed is
cheap and while eggs may be cheap
er than for a few years past, they
are not down as low as other prod
ucts, and we believe there viii be a
real demand for them and they are
cash. We know you are not accus-
toned to getting cash for eggs, but
since the Farmers Exchange is do
ing business you get spot cash for
every dozen. Come in and talk the
matter over and it is about time to

HERDERS SHOULD EXERCISE
CURE TO PREVENT DISEASE

Death camas causes heavy losses
of sheep in the spring and early sum-
mer. 1t is not unnatural for sever
al hundred to die within a day or
two. The plants frequently grow in
thick patches, and because of their
graSs-llke leaves are overlooked. If
sheep are close-herded in such places
many Of them will be poisoned and
most of those poisoned are likely to
die.
Especial care should be used when
sheep are taken from the cars and
released for grazing. If they have
not been fed, as is frequently the
case, and are turned out on a range
where death camas is abundant, the
resulting losses may be very heavy.
There have been many cases of this
kind. If death camas is present that
part of the range should be avoided.
If it is necessary to trail sheep where
death camas is known to grow, the
animals should be well fed before
coming to that place.
Sheep herders should learn to rec
Ognize the plants and avoid them.
The United States department of ag-
riculture has published department
bulletin 125, Zygadenus, or death
camas, which tells about the plants
and their chief effects; it has also
published Bulletin 575, Stock Poison
ing Plants of the Range, which gives
illustrations, many colored, of the
principal poisonous plants of west
em United States.
There are several kinds of death
camas and until recently it has been
supposed that all were equally poison
GUS. As the result of recent expert
mental work, which is in course of
publication, it has been found that
the death camas which in the west
ern mountains grows at elevations of
5000 feet and upwards is only slight
~ poisonous and probably never in
jures range sheep. All the forms
growing at lower attitudes are dan
| gerous, but this mountain death cana
as probably never does any harm. 1t
has thin and rather erect leaves,
grows in meadows and in damp
ground, sometimes among the as
pens, while the other kind, which APP
,proaches the lower limit of the noun
tain death camas, grows in dry places
and has thick, spreading leaves. The
herder need not fear the mountain
death camas, but should shun all the
other forms. Ii1la @ io4

this matter the study its great inn
portance demands, particularly from
the standpoint of the wheat grower.

Il have had no trouble in getting
opinions and advice In this matter
of wheat grades, but have had a
great deal Of difficulty in getting the
sound facts upon which these opin-
ions are based. The study l have
given the matter makes it very plain
to me that hasty or ill-considered ac-
ton might result in great injustice to
the wheat grower, who is least able
to protect himself in such a natter,
and throw our wheat marketing sys-
tenn into confusion, to the injury of
everybody who grows or handles
wheat. 55t r
while I,make no chages in the
grades at the present time, the criti-
cisnn of the present grades warrants
thOrough-going investigation, espec-
tally as to their practical application
at country buying points. 1 shall
make such investigation during the
coming wheat marketing season, and
If changes are justified they will be
made well in advance Of the market
ing season next year.
During the hearing it was strong
ly urged that the words good color
be substituted for the word bright
in the spring wheat grades. 1t was
commended that the word bright was
used at times in technical sense to
the disadvantage of the wheat grow
er. The descriptive term bright was
used IN the old Minnesota grades
and was carried over into the fed
eral grades when they were estab
lished. Very few cars. of wheat have
been graded down solely because OF
failure to meet the requirement

the term may be used improperly tC

WORLD PRICES LOWER FOR
MEAT AND LIVESTOCK

The recent declines m livestock and
meat prices in the United States ap-
pear to be part of worldwide move
ment toward lower price levels, says
specialists of the Bureau of Markets.
United States department of agricul-
ture. According to a report of the
consul general at Auckland, recent
ly received by the department, rump
steak in New Zealand brought on
April 1, 20 cents a pound; sirloin
steak, Is cents; corned brisket, 8
cents; legs of mutton, IL cents; NUT
ton chops, 13 cents; neck and breast
of mutton, z cents; side of mutton,
10 cents; and veal cents. These
prices are based upon the normal
rate of $4.8665 to the pound sterling.
The report also shows that be-
tween March L, 1920 and March L,
1921, fine steers in New Zealand
dropped $3.65 per 100 pounds, SELL
ing at S10.46; prime and choice steers
1882 at $9.49 to $10.21; plain and
ordinary steers, $4.01 at $3.50 to So;
cows and heifers. 1922 at $4.s7 to
S9.73. Best wethers last $2.71 per
head, selling at $4.6z TO S7.47; ewes.
81 cents at $3.50 to $6.O8; AMI lambs,
$1.82 at $S.40 to 1914. |
Comparisons of these prices with
prices in American markets is i'm
possible because of a difference in
standards of grading in the two coun-
tries. For example, choice steer in
New Zealand might be placed in some
other grade in the United States.

I'D the following statement May 16
On the proposed changes in the feder-
nj grades for spring wheat:
ION April y27 and. %, 1921, delega-
lions from Minnesota and other cen
tral northwestern states met in my
sffice and requested certain changes
in the federal grades for spring
wheat, During this hearing an east
exn delegation asked to be heard on
grades for garlicky, wheat, but were
requested to defer their presentation
until a later date, and were heard on
Nay Is, 1921, at which time delega-
h0ns from Missouri, Pennsylvania
and Maryland also were heard on the
same subject. General hearings have
not been held, nor have interested
parties in other sections of the coun-
try had full opportunity to present
Sheir views upon the changes propos-
ed or the other changes in federal
wheat grades which might become
necessary if the proposed changes
should be granted. 1 have, however,
received great many kilograms and
letters on the matter from other Sec
tons, most of them expressing strong
sppOsition to any changes in the pres
Snt wheat grades.
i listened attentively to all that
vas said at the hearings, have read
she letters and kilograms received,
and have gone to some trouble to
consult many people who favored and
opposed the changes suggested, not
