What Is Left of Our Vast Elk Herds

THE estimated number Of elk re-
= naming in two large groups in the
United States at the present time is
only about $1,000, according to the
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture. To insure
the pernanence of these splendid
game animals, which are among the
largest and finest of all deer the CO.
operation and coordination Of federal
state and all other interested agencies
Is needed.
The elk Of the Yellowstone park
region constitute the only really large
herds Of the big game remaining in
the United States, and although these
number about $1,000, they are a mere
remnant of the great herds which
formerly ranged from Maine to Cali
fornia. The northern group, which
ranges within the Yellowstone Ma
tiOnal park in summer and migrates
northward, suffered greatly from the
adverse conditions of the winter of
1890.
The elk in the southern group are
scattered in summer at high elevations

MILDRED is something of a holy
AVA name, since ii has heritage
closely associated with religious
orders. Though said to be of Teutonic
origin, il was exclusively Saxon in it's
early use; indeed ii may be said to
be almost Mercian, since its first APP
pearance was in the family of King
Merowald.
Mild was n Saxon word meaning
mild" and by the addition of "thyth",
another Saxon term signifying com
mand", the feminine name Midthyth
was formed. Because it was trans
lated to mean mild speech" it was
much used as a name for gentle dam
sells with religious inclnations.

to a survey of the situation by julius

formerly an expenditure for a pair OF

without the error being detected, un-

authorized appropriations could have
gone undisturbed before the Inaugural

EXTRACT PH0sPHORlC ACID IN
OlL.BuRNING FURNACE

With the installation of Il new high
temperature oil-buIning furnace now
being installed on the experimental
farm nj Arlington, Va, the Bureau OF
Soils, will continue Investigations INTO
the extraction of phosphoric acid Tor
fertilizer from phosphonc rock by the
application of heat.
Experimental runs with an old fur-
mace several months ago apparently
demonstrated the practicability of the
new method developed by the depart
ment scientists of separating the phoS
phoric acid. The present commeTial
method Is by the application of sui
phuric acid to ground phosphate rock
II is not practicable for low-gnde
rocks and makes necessary the ship
ment of large proportion of inert
material with the phosphate. Early
experiments in separation by heat
were made with electric furnaces, but
the expense seemed a serious obstacle
10 the introduction of the new method
II was found, however, that the pc
troleum- burning furnace could be
made 10 do the work at much less eN-
pense. IA.
Experiments will be continued with
view to establishing methods which
will permit the use Of much phosphate
rock which now goes to waste, and also
10 material reduction in freight rates
on commercial fertilizers.
