STUDY EFFECT WHICH FORESTS
EXERT UPON STREAM FLOW

Investigation of the effect Of forcsts
upon stream flow Ia being made jointly
by the Forest Service and Weather
Bureau, ut station in the comparas
lively light forests OF the Colorado
Rockies. "When completed" says the
department, "this investigation viii

Significance for this and similar sec
lions of the United States where agr1-
cultural development IL dependent up

Somewhat similar work has been done
in Europe, notably ut Zurich, Switzer,
land Observations, extending over III
years, were made upon two small wa
tershcds, one wholly, and the other
one-third forested.
"On proportional basis" the For,
eat Service says, "the total annual
stream discharge was approximately
equal on the two Zurich watcrsheds.
IN short, heavy rainfalls the maximum
run of, per second in the forested wa.
tershcd was only one-third to one-hnlf
that on the lightly foreSted Watersheds
and the total food stage discharge US
ualy onc-half Although as result
of very long, heavy rains, the run-oit
was the same after the forest soil had
become saturated, the forest cover APP
preciubly stabilized the stream now
and reduced the extremes Of both high
and low wnter. The forest cover was
also beneficial in preventing landslides,
which were common on steep, unI0rest-
ed slopes during heavy rains, ana In
preventing erosion, which greatly In

MARKED DECLINE IN HOG
CHOLERA LOSSES
Progress Made During Past Year In
Controlling Disease

That well defined progress IL being
made in the control Of hog cholera in
the State of Maryland is indicated in
the annual report of DR.. |. X. Ather-
ton, Federal Inspector in Charge of the
work. This report covering the year
1921, shows that there was reduction
Of $3.50 in the number Of hog cholera
outbreaks under the previous year of
1853 cases AS compared to GA in 1920.
There has been steady decrease in
the losses from this disease since hog
cholera control work was inaugurated
in the state five years ago by the U. $.
Bureau Of Animal Industry in cooper
alton with the State Board of Agricul-
tule. Swine losses have been reduced
from 10 per thousand prior to 1917 to
10 per thousand in 1921, resulting IN
an annual saving Of l7,l76 head. With
an average value Of $40 per head for
the five year period, the total saving
in dollars aud cents has been SEA-,
10000 per AMMAN. In contrast to the
saving effected, the approximate cost
of the work has been $4,000 n year,
borne equally by the Federal govern
mcnt and the state.
II Is also worthy of note that during
the above period, Maryland has ad-
vanced from ninth to seventh place In
the number of hogs per square mile,
being exceeded only by Iowa, Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Georgia.
This shows that Maryland farmers ARE
raising more hogs as the menace of
hog cholera il gradually eliminated.
Four veterinarians assigned by the
Bureau of Animal Industry devote
their entire time to the work, the state
being divided into four districts, the
headquarters of which are located re-
Spectively at College Park, llagers-
town, Elkton and Salisbury.
The work of controlling the disease
IL conducted under the Maryland Plan
for Hog Cholera Control" this plan he
ing founded on the principle of proven
ton, hurboring and spread of the infcc-
ton. The success of this method rests
with the individual farmers and de-
ponds upon the extent of the coopera-
ton obtained from him. No compul-
sorry regulations are maintained and
his compliance with the provisions of
the plan must necessarily be entirely
voluntary.
In general IL may be said that the
IuIIncIS ulc RiNlHR tntil iuii'"' w
operation and approval of the work.
However, the greatest difficulty en-
countcred has been In obtaining early
reports of sick hogs and In numerous
instances widespread outbreaks have
occurred with resultant heavy losses
before the authorities were aware OF
the presence of the infection. On the
other hand, when an outbreak has been
promptly reported, not the slightest
difficulty has been experienced In stop q
ping the spread Of infection.
The cooperation Of all farmers and
hog raiscrs is therefore requested In
reporting oil cases Of sick hogs Re
ports should be made to your county
agricultural agent or to the Federal
veterinarian In this district, who Is
Dr.. W. II. Wright, Elkton Md. Prompt
investigation will BIO made of these ca
ses aud thus material assistance will
be given to the work of controlling one
of the most serious livestock dsenses.

VALUABLE cow

Some years ago the last remaining
farmer in a prosperous New York sub
urb bcqucathed to his son his only
property, 10 acres Of land, ramshdr'
kIe barn and one COW. The young re
cipcnt had no money to develop the
land, and was at II loss to know what
TO do with his COW, whose habits he did
not understand. lie finally decided to
keep her AZ Il remembrance Of his faith
or, and she grazed away contcntedly. a
Ten years later there came an OPP
po,tunIly to dispose Of the land ut
81 900 a lot Of $i02, 900 for the whole.
BASED on this valuation the taxes dur
ink the ten years would have amount
ed to something like $4,000, whereas,

been given farm classification and
had been taxed during the period OILY

every member of the incoming Legis-

to the leaders in our great political
parties that efficient Legislation bo

the women Of Maryland. Her boy is

power, but the licensed saloon ten
years ago or more stole from her loves
training Of preceding years. She now
calls upon every mother, every woman,

placed the boy Of her passion, her tears
and her love in an early grave. To her
we must listen. This deeply wounded
mother wceps with an agony all untold.
Stand by her all you women who love
our growing boys and girls. Listen to
her sohbing story, men of Baltimore,
