SAVE MILLIONS BY
FORCASTING FLOOD

Heavy rains in the Mississippi val
ley and along it's tributaries have
caused the third largest flood ever
known in the lower reaches of the
Father of Waters. The years when
the water rose to greater levels, but
not uniformly, were 1912, 1913 and
1916, the record rise being In 1913.
The Ohio, which has contributed much
to the volume of water now in the
lower Mississippi, has been higher
only twice since records have been
kept of its flow, namely, in 1912 and
1913.
The estimates of the probable rise
of the two rivers this year by the
weather bureau Of the United States
Department of Agriculture have been
accurate, and there is every reason to
believe that the stages predicted for
the next few weeks may be reid

MORE BARLEY USED.

Barley as a hog feed is coming on
the markets in increasing amounts,
probably for the reasons that its use
for brewing purposes has fallen off
and the hog industry has been NOV
ing into the barley producing dis
tricts. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has taken up the
problem of finding out the relative
feeding value of light and heavy bar
ley. There are no federal standards
for this grain, but light and heavy
grades are recognized on the market
During 1921 the department made
feeding tests of the two grades, and
the trials will be repeated. Not
enough data are available for defin-
tie conclusions as to the relative mer.
it's Of the light and heavy grain, but
the results have shown that high-clas:
barley has a feeding value only slight
ly lower than good shelled corn. Wher
these tests are completed the depart.
ment will have additional informa
ton on the methods of feeding bar
ley, whether or not it should be fec
whole, rolled, dry, or soaked.
1t is expected that barley will b,
used much more in the future as
hog feed, especially where there is
scarcity Of corn and when barley i
comparatively cheap.

rennet and pepsin were the first sub
stances of this nature produced un-
der commercial conditions. Shortly
after the introduction of these first
products came the manufacture of
~pancreatin and later extract of the
thyroid gland.
Pharmaceutical houses making
these and other preparations get the
raw glands from the packers, but q
number of the latter are now making
the finished products in their own
plants.
Glands and tissue used in making
these products are obtained from cat
tie, calves, sheep and hogs. From
cattle are taken the ovarian, pituit
airy, pineal, prostate, orchic. supra
renal, pancreatic and parathyroiC
glands; from calves, the thymus
from sheep, the thyroid, ovarian, ans
orchic; from hogs, the pituitary, ov

Farmers OF the United States not

single class of consumers of Rnished
products Of all kinds, and the largest

this, Il is essential, In order that the
country as q whole be prosperous, that
the farmer as a class be prosperous.
When the Republican Party cane
into power in March, 1924, the agrtcal-
tural sections Of the country were In
the midst Of the greatest depression
they had ever experienced.
In response to a general demand
from the agricultural interests the Re-
publican Congress, on May 81, 1921, 40
days after the session convened, en-
acted the Emergency, or Farmers
Tariff. This stopped at once the inAux

the American farm producer his home

fact that since i<s operation Canads

The department has received data
from the Tanana Valley Association

this region in 1921. The estimated
value of the products is placed at
$4,000. This was from 1,499 acres

PLANS NOW UNDER WAY.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The
United States Department of AgTicul-
ture is already planning the Worlds
Dairy Congress, which will be held in
this country in 1923 at the same time
and in the same city as the National
Dairy Show. The meeting place has
not yet been selected, and there is the
keenest rivalry among several cities
for tn privilege of entertaining the
World Dairy Congress which will last
two weeks and will undoubtedly at
tract hundreds of thousands of visit
ors and be the center of attention of
the dairy and stock-raising industry
of the world.
Under a special act of Congress
President Harding has been author
lied to invite foreign governments tc
send delegations to this information
al show. This will be the largest eX-
hibit of an agricultural character ever
held in America. The dairy industry
represents American farms worth
$50,000,000, 900; it represents live
stock valued at $4,000, 000, 900, anc
represents creameries, cheese ice
cream and condensed milk industries
milk distributing plants and plants
which manufacture machinery for tht
above industries which run into tens
of billions of dollars.
The executive committee, which
will have the arrangements of thi
congress in charge recently met il
Washington with Secretary of Agri
culture Wallace. The Department 0
Agriculture is expected to play
dominant part in arranging for thi

Edward L. Allen. 55s West 1SSth

announced yesterday that an "Ex-Ser-
vice Mems Anti Bonus League" has the
backing of a group of world war vet
erans. The organization Is designed to
give expression to views Of veterans who
do not believe in a cash bonus. 1t will
stand against any future proposals of
gratuities for healthy ex-service men.
The members OF the new league have
Grawn up resolutions which explain that
they are opposed to n bonus because
most men joined the service under the
force of compulsion, not patriotism; be-
cause 90 per cent. of the men came out
of the army in better physical and mem
tai shape than they were in when they
entered it: because thousands of SOL
diers learned more net money while in
the army than ever before: because the
present OF any possible sum Of money
would only mean "a short period Of re-
lease from labor. and royal good time
while the money lasted" and because
the bonus should have been paid. II ever,
