Liberty Sportsn,en Turn
Attention to Baseball

LIBERTY, Ind, March 8.-With the
basketball season over the local high
school boys are turning to baseball.
The Scarlet has not boosted a base
ball team for several years. but there
seems to be a demand for team here
now. Some very promising talent
was uncovered last fall when a high
school league was formed. and it is
thought that strong schedule will
be made out within a few weeks. Ac-
tive work will be begun just as soon
as weather permits. Rodefer and Nc
Cashland seem to be the first choice
for battery work, although there are
several other aspirants for these posi-
lions.

FOX Nj SITES
IN ALASKAN ISLANDS

Along the southern coast of Alaska
are hundreds of islands of great va
riety in size and topography, many of
which are ideal for the development
of fox farming. Some are already in
use for that purpose by men who are
pioneering in the f~ur-growing indus
try. Ten of these islands are under
control of the biological survey of the
United States department of agricul-
ture and many that are within nation
al forests are administered by the
forest service. Persons who are rails
ing foxes on these controlled islands
receive permits from the biological
survey or the forest service, but on
the many other islands men who go
into the business are merely squatters.
The safety of their property depends
solely upon their watchfulness and
the strength of their arms.
According to the biological survey,
there is a great opportunity in these
wild and wooded islands to develop
fur farming on a large scale. This
bureau receives many requests from
persons interested in the industry,
some of whom are now squatters, but
only a few have the hardihood to go
ahead on a large scale.
Blue foxes can be turned loose on
some of the islands and viii thrive
with little attention so long as q
sufficient food supply is available
Black and s~ilver-gray foxes, however
must be kept confined. All of these
varieties may be raised successfully
on many of the islands, but it il
thought that the blue fox will become
the most important source of fur n
the region.

AMERICANS ATE MILLIONS
LESS WHEAT LAST YEAR

According to data issued by the gov
eminent, the American people ate
zoe, 200 900 bushels less wheat in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1921, than
in the previous year. On the basis
of the population this means two
bushels less wheat per capita. 1t
takes a fraction over four bushels of
wheat to make a barrel of -four. So,
expressed in terms of flour, the Amer
lean people ate one-half barrel of
flour less per capita during that fiscal
year than in the preceding one. Since
June, 1921, the per capita consump-
ton of wheat and wheat products de.

FREEZING POINT FOR
PRODUCTS OF GARDEN

The freezing points of a large va
riety of vegetables and fruits, which
are likely to be subjected to freez-
ing conditions during harvesting,
handling, or marketing, have been the
object of special studies in the bu-
reau of plant industry of the United
States department of agriculture. Be
tween $4,000 and 10000 determine
tons have been made, including the
freezing points of 25 varieties of ap-
pies, % kinds of strawberries, 10 va
rieties of potatoes, 10 different types
of sweet potatoes, 10 tomato varieties
and many varieties of cherries,
grapes, peaches, plums, blackberries,
r~aspberries, cranberries, and some cut
flowers, particularly peonies, roses,
and lilies. Betsides this general study
the work is being continued with the
principal fruits and vegetables which
r liable to be in danger of freez-
ing either in transit or on the mar
ket. In this work the methods of de-
tecting freezing injury, the rate of
which fruits or vegetables freeze in
constant low temperatures are deter
mined.
The freezing points were deter
mined for 10 standard varieties Of
Irish potatoes, grown under the same
cultural conditions, harvested at the
same time, and stored at the same
temperatures. The freezing point APP
parently varies with the variety and
shows a tendency to vary with the

BIG SLAUGHTER IN
UTAH ANTT-RAT RAID

By using the school district as a
unit and employing the services of
nearly all organizations interested in
the public welfare a very successful
anti-rat campaign was recently put
on in Utah. One of the assistants of
the biological survey of the United
States department of agriculture re-
ports that 1854 rats were caught in
traps and killed by means other than
poison. 1t was, of course, impossible
to determine how many of the rodents
were poisoned, but altogether 1850
pounds of barium carbonate poison
were used, and thousands of the pests
must have been killed in this way.
Dealers reported that great numbers
OF traps were sold.
Various phases of the radiance
work were brought out in the differ
ent classes in the schools, and repair
ing buildings and rat-proof construc-
ton work was taught TO more than
10000 students in the manual train
ing classes. Approximately 10000
essays and $1,000 posters and draw
ings on rat eradication were submit
ted by 61,238 school children. 1t is
estimated that some $4,000 people
were reached by demonstrations, bull
letins, circulars, etc.
A follow-up investigation brought
out some interesting facts concern
ing conditions that foster rats. For
instance, of the residents of Salt Lake
City reporting rats on the premises,
60 per cent kept chickens. A high
percentage of those reporting rats
lived in poorly constructed houses,
kept no garbage receptacles, or had
piles of rubbish, boards, and other
material lying around the place. Such
food supplies and shelter attract the
rodents and give them a good oppor-
tunity to multiply. But such concert
ed action was taken in Utah dem
onstrates the practicability of eradi-
cation.
