Against Decision

Nothing In Congressional Debate To
Show Anyone Meant Law To
Reach Vessels - Most
Serious In Pacific.

Washington.-A plea that American
ships cannot justly be prevented from
serving liquor on the high seas under
the prohibition laws is set forth in
a brief filed in the Supreme Court by
The international Mercantile Marine
In support of its appeal from the in
depreciation given the Daugherty
"bone.dry" ruling by Federal Judge
Hand at New York.
The brief also declares II Is not
unlawful for vessels 10 bring their
ship stores Of liquor into American
territorial waters, In this respect the
position taken by the Mercantile Ma
rine Is similar to that set forth by
the foreign shipping concerns in n
brief filed recently with the court,
Declaring that should the decision
Of Judge Hand be sustained I'll would
be impossible commercially to operate
American flag steamers in the ua..
senger trade Of the world" the hrat

METHODS OF CONTROL FOR
STOCK POISONING ON RANGE

lBy VIM. May, in Colorado Extension
Bulletin, No. l6s-A.)
The methods of control for stock
poisoning on the range is based large
!y upon the condition causing poison
ing. II should always be borne in
mind that with the exception Of loco.
animals do not like poisonous plants.
The following principles may be given: /:
l. Know the poisonous plants on
the range used. A knowledge of the
thing TO be fought and 10 guard
against must be had at the outset
2 Prevent overgrazing I) by
limiting the number of stock, (2) by
using the entire range as equally as
possible. so that some sections are not
oyeTgrazed, while others are under
grazed, (3) by not sailing at the water
holes but away from them, as the for
mer course tends to overgrazing about
the water hole.
3. II the range is overgrazed for
one class Of stock. practice rotation
grazing. lie. change from cattle to
sheep and vice-versa.
4. Do not allow hungry stock to
go onto poison patches. II it is nee
essary to drive thru such an area, feed
well before starting. Always before
stopping for noon or at night, ex-
anime the ground to be grazed and
make sure there are no quantities Of
poisonous plants present
.. Do not use ranges too early
where the poisonous plants appears
before the other forage, and stay off
until palatable forage has 4 good
start.
6. In eases where the poisonous
plants are exceedingly thick about
water holes or along driyeways that
must be rsed, eradication of the plant
Is the only practicable method Of con-
tIol.
Remember: An animal with n
stomach full Of good forage is not
likely to be poisoned.
