BEEF GROWERS
CAN GET MONEY

During the first week of this month,
packing companies at Los Angeles
bought cattle in the Kansas City mar
ket, paying S400 for several cars of
grass-fed cows. and $500 for about
20 cars of grass-fed steers. Taking
into account freight rate, shrinkage,
and loss due to bruises, this price is
equivalent to at least 800 in Cali
foruia. Due to our shortage of prime
beef as we'll as feeders and stock cat,
tile in California, packers will undoubt-
eddy find 1t necessary to occasionally
buy outside the state. The association
feels, however. that California ctaale-
men should receive first consideration
and should be paid an equal price.
Sales have been reported to us from
San Francisco Bay counties, averaging
6iac for steers fob. ranch One or
two loads have been sold for 7c. These
cattle can be put on the market for
in Tulare county of prime steers now
on. good stubble, are reported for No
vember and December delivery. No
vember deliveries will bring 7c and
December deliveries Ter. They will
be weighed on the ranch and will aver
age about LOO pounds. These are
for local delivery.
Reports reach US that local banks in
the country need considerable educa-
ton regarding the War Finance Cor
poration money to cattlemen. Most
local banks ate cooperating 100 per

reported to appear unwilling TO help

Editor The Press
Dear Sir:-The writer has been ask
cd by prominent taxpayers TO write a
series of articles explaining why the
taxpayer should unite in an associa-
ton.
At first the answer seemed SO SIM
pie il appeared not worth more than
a line, it seemed TO be so obvious, but
the obvious is usually the unseen, and
while it appears about as needful to
tell man to attend when his house
is burning, still you never can tell, so
with your kind Indulgence we will give
a few reasons for uniting.
What other method is available
Can we depend on the tax consumers
TO reduce their "feed" as you are re
ducing expenses at every point to
meet the crisis that is on us; Let me
try to illustrate what Imperial county
will pay this year, S1,97S,350 is the IL
rigation district tax for the year, and
more if they get it, the several water
companies will average about three
assessments totaling about 81 10000,
the county will take another million
and the towns probably as much NOR
or to put it in roupd figures, sa1 S.,
100000 all told, to say nothing of sun
dry other taxes. Now, if Father
Adam had worked from the day tf
creation to the present day at % er
uay and board and not missed a dav
spent penny he would be snort of
this amount by some S674,025. unless
Mother Eve had hit the bail to make
up this deficiency like the farmers
wives are dong now. Does this give
you any grasp of what we have to dig
up yearly? Over six thousand years
of toll burned annually to meet the
tax demands. Is it not enough to JUS
tify the strictest supervision? There
is nothing else to do. you must unite
or be consumer, there is no use pussy
footing around Ia secret but lay these
things bare for all TO see, keep ever
lastingly at il. This requires an office
andsa man on the job all the time ex-
aiming every phase of taxes.

was organized in 1914-15, and the

of the woman's hospital in Madura,
India.
DIR. Parker went to NIadura first %
years ago. Two years before that DIR.
f. Il. Clarke had visited India and
aroused interest in the Christian En-
deavor movement with the result that
a society was established in Madura at
Capron Hall, a mission school for girls,
and this society has had a continuous ex-
istence. DR. Parker expressed her thanks
to all who have helped in the new hos
pital and in putting it up. She told some
thing of the 13 children whom she has
adopted. Several of them are orphans
whose parents have died of cholera or
other diseases. The eldest, Grace Ken
nett, is now % years old and is a Ii
censed medical practitioner. For the two
weeks after DIR. Parker left she had en-
eral charge of the Junior Christian En-
deavor society. The hospital will have
81 beds when all are in. Last year S.
600 treatments were given in the hospi-
tai and dispensary. The work is very
hard because the hospital is badly under
stated.
In closing, DIR. Parker quoted the
motto of the hospital, He gave His life
for us" We must give our lives, and
urged her audience to remember it.

EXPLAINS BOVINE TESTING.
(ContInued from Page IL

that animals from an accredited herd
NAV be shipped interstate for a neriod
of year without further tuberculin test
This SDccial privilege is given to cattle
from an accredited herd by agreement of
theslivc stock sanitary officials of all the
states of the Union. For this reason. the
accredited herds plan is made not by the
bureau of animal industry at Washing
ton or by any one state but by officials
of all the states at the annual convention
in Chicago. Inc officials of the cattle
importing states have always resisted any
attempt made by the officials of cattle ex-
porting states to turn over the test ing of
accredited herds by private practitioners
However, last December an amendment
was made to the rules which provides
that after herd has been accredited it
may under certain conditions be tested
annually by any veterinarian whose name
is upon the accredited list of the veter-
inarians approved by the United States
bureau of animal industry" provided
that before any veterinarian other than
one who devOtes his entire time to the
work of any state e. ne bureau of ami
NAL industry can b. uroyed for accred-
tied herd work, he all have passed an
examination conducted by the proper
live stock sanitary officials of the state
in which he resides, and the bureau of
animal industry. He then shall be elig-
ibl to conduct annual tuberculin tests
credited upon dates approved of by the
bureau of animal industry in the state
wherein the herd is located
You viii see. therefore. that DR.. De
Fossct in inviting the veterinary prac-
titionerS of Vermont to take this exam
ination is only giving them an opportun-
ity to qualify to do accredited herds test
ing under the rules as laid down by the
official representatives of the several
states.
This examination is perfectly volun-
tary and no Vermont veterinarian need
take it if his pride is injured by being
asked to do what is required of all the
veterinarians in the United States \
similar examination will be held in %
of the states on June -.
May | ask You to give publicity to the
facts in the case. so that the people of
Vermont may not gain an impression
which is entirely erroneous?
Very truly yours.
