west which its leaders had not antici-
pated.

Before leaving Washington Senator
Watson was approached by several
prominent southern republicans aNd
asked to use his influence TO obtain the
agricultural portfolios in the Harding
cabinet for the south. The Indiana
senator. promising to serve as friend
at court" impressed upon those making
the appeal the importance of agrees
siveness and the elimination of candi-
dates claims for unity of action. This
advice is being generally accepted.
The dominant note in the appeals now
being directed to Senator Harding from
the south is for recognition of the south
and it's primary industry and the elm
ination of sectionalism from party
councils. "Favorite sons" have been
presented by several states, but in each
instance their sponsors assert that the
candidate will not be permitted to i'm
peril the chances of any man, truly rep
resentative of the south, on whom the
President elect may determine.
The movement headed by Governor
Morrow of Kentucky, Governor Taylor
of Tennessee Senator-elect Harold of
Oklahoma and others high in the
party's councils is being supplemented
daily by non-partisan appeals from
southern business, industrial and egri-
cultural interests.
WISE PRECEDENT
Eugene Lorton, editor-pubiisher OF
the Tulsa (Okla) World, one of those
who conferred with Senator Watson be-
fore the latter left for Florida, in dis
cussing the claims of the south for rec
ognition in the Harding cabinet. said;
Mr.. Harding has the proud distinc-
ton of being the first republican to
really break the south. In winning the
support of Tennessee and Oklahoma, he
made the first breach in democracy's
stronghold.
Ordinary political prudence would
seem TO point the wisdom of in some
way showing official appreciation of
that fact, 1t is one thing to inveigh
against an unreasoning sectionalism
such as has obtained in the southern
states for half century. but it is most
distinctly another matter to prove that
such sectionalism is without some foun-
dation in justice and fact when the re-
publican party, after having been given
substantial vote of confidence by
that section, ignores it in making up
its official family
DELIBERATE SLAP
ITO ignore the south can hardly be
construed other than as a deliberate
slap at that section and q dishearten-
ing rebuke to the thousands of loyal re-
publioans who dared to hold a brief for
the republican cause.
North Carolina has man for the
position, so has Tennessee and SO has
Ok la homa."
Inclusion by Mr.. Lorton of North Car
DINA with Tennessee and Oklahoma

is due to the fact that former Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina has
been given practically the unanimous
endorsements of farm organizations

Sycamore Creek to Be ReStocked With Bass
 As Rains Kill Trout
(From Thursdays Daily)

Sycamore creek, i'll the Sycamore district of the Prescott forest, is to be restocked soon with black bass following killing by recent heavy rises in the creek of its large stock of trout The Prescott office of the national forest service is ordering 2,000 black bass from the bureau of fisheries for this purpose.
 During heavy rains at the end of July, Sycamore creek rose. After wards the trout were found dead by Ranger Walter Mickleson, who rec commended to the forest service that the stream be restocked with black trout. Black bass were decided on instead, due to the fact that trout, requiring clear spring water, are killed by muddy waters washing in from rains. Some of the trout found dead were F inches long.
 Bass grow faster and do better in streams such as Sycamore creek, it was explained at the forest service office. At the same age as trout 1H inches long, they are 4 inches in length. The bass are expected to ar rive soon.

NO Trains on Dry Days, Rule of
 Railroad

A railroad that runs its trains only on wet, rainy days is the road that has been accorded the title of the most unique railroad in the United States, according to information received by the Prescott forest office yesterday, in connection with fire proven ton work on national forests.
 The Kuskequa route, a little mountain railroad in Pennsyl- vania, in it's recently issued timetable, states that mo trains will be run east of Kuskequa on dry days" The reason for this peculiar schedule is given in the fire protection communication. The Kuskequa route is not com pletely supplied with modern railroad equipment, and has no spark arresters. Consequently, it does not run its trains up in- to the heavily wooded moun- tains beyond Kuskequa for fear of starting timber fires by sparks from its engines.
 "The national forest service" the communication states, "does not object to this form of vol untary fire protection"

Requests to congress for reduction in grazing fees, and for a second postponement until December 1, 1921 of payment of the fees this year, will be advocated at a meeting of the advisory board of the Arizona Cattle Growers association in Phoenix Au- gust 31, it was learned in a com munication received here yesterday from F. E. Schneider, secretary of the A. C. c. A.
 Losses sustained by cattlemen grazing their stock on national for est ranges in Arizona, through lack of graze brought on by drouth, and decreased market value of cattle, will form the basis of the requests that congress take the action desired. It has not yet been definitely decided what per cent will be advocated as grazing fee reduction for this year.

 This enormous timber loss, occur ring in forests at the front, many of which were totally destroyed by can non fire and exploding shells, trees being torn, splintered and demolish- ed, amounts to about 10 per cent of all lumber and 61z per cent of all fire-wood available in France before the war.

LARKSPIJR 4 SHEEP
 POISON? NO, SAYS
 FOREST SERVICE
(From Thursdays Dai1vl


 Is larkspur poisonous to sheep That it is, is a belief held by sheep growers III many parts of the coun- try. Yet this theory is denied in a bulletin of the national forest service, received here yesterday, which states that sheep have not only been con- sidered immune to the poison of lark spur (which also goes by the scarify- ing name of delphinium barbeyD, but are particularly fond of the plant.
 Experiments to prove this point, cited by the bulletin, should prove of interest to Yavapai sheep growers, larkspur abounding in the high mountain ranges of the Prescott and other northern Arizona National forests.
 J. N. Langworthy, supervisor of the Ncompahgre National forest of Colorado, directed an experiment with grazing a flock of sheep on a cattle range in that forest, parts of which were thicllly covered with tall larkspur, where losses had been heavy. The band consisted of 1000 animals, which were closed-herded on the forest for a month and a half and then removed.
 During that period, they consumed practically all the larkspur on the range, but scarcely touched the lux uriant bunch grass which grew in great profusion, and thus left the area in excellent and safe condition for the cattle which followed them. No i'll effects whatever were noticed among the sheep. The meat of a slaughtered lamb was found to be ex- ceptionally sweet and palatab1e, and the whole bunch, when sold at Kan sas City topped the market, out weighing and outselling lambs from the same forest that had not had ac- cess to larkspur.
 Poisoning of sheep, believed due to 1arkspur, is often due in reality to combination of that plant with others, Robert Munro, assistant for est supervisor, said yesterday Com binations of different plans are known to produce poisonous effects on cer- tain range animals. Pingue, Munro said, has always been considered a good sheep graze, and sheep have been fattened on it. Yet often there are heavy losses of sheep feeding on this plant, probably due to combina- tions with other plants.
 This, Munro pointed out, Is
