WORK AGAINST HOG CHOL-
ERA EXTENDED TO
OTHER STATES.

The United States Department
of Agriculture this year extend
ed it cooperative hog-cholera con-
troll work to South Dakota, Wash
ington, New Mexico, and West
Virginia, making a total of "a
States in which work is being
done in cooperation with State
authorities. Cooperation among
the different agencies is now at
it's best, and is therefore more
effective than ever.
The object of the work with
the various States is to prevent
and control outbreaks of hog
cholera, and to prevent the
spread of the infection and to re-
duce losses.
During the year, hog cholera
has been kept we'll under con-
troll, but special care must be
taken in October, November, and
December, when usually there is
an increase in it's prevalence
Farmers will save more hogs and
prevent disastrous losses if they
do not delay reporting immedi-
ately to the State veterinarian
the county agricultural agent,
the representative of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, or local vet,
Urinary practitioner any suspi-
cious cases of sickness among
their hogs. Anti-hog cholera
serum is not a cure, but pre-
ventive treatment, and should be
applied as soon as possible when
the disease appears in the herd
or in the neighborhood. The pre-
yentive treatment is a good in
surance against losses from hog
cholera.

MAP WILL SHOW PRODUCTION
OF DAIRY COWS BY
COUNTIES.

Are you proud of the cows in
your county ? is the question
asked by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture on a
map on which is shown the
average yearly production of
dairy cows in practically every
county in the country. This
large map will be shown in the
departments exhibit at the Ma
tional Dairy Exhibition, at st.
Paul, October 7 to IA. Dairy
men may thus see at a glance
just how the cows at home COM
pare with those in any other
part of the United States.
The map shows that 7 counties
have cows that average more
than 5000 pounds of milk year.
Three of these counties are IN
Washington, while Oregon, Cali
fornia, Nevada, and Texas have
one each. The exhibit also
shows an analysis of the census
figures made by the Department
of Agriculture, in which it is
brought out that the States which
lead in average production per
COW are those in which the high
est percentage of dairy bulls are
purebred. The States are mark
ed off into four groups accord
ing to the production of the cows.
Those in the first group have an
average production of 4,427
pounds of milk a year and 42.5
per cent of the dairy bulls are
purebred. In the fourth group
the average production is only
1906 pounds of milk and only
ID per cent of the dairy bulls are
purebred. In the the first group
there is one purebred dairy bull
to every 10 dairy farms, while in
the other groups there is only
one to every 80 dairy farms.
The 48 States are arranged IN
the order of the percentage OF
dairy bulls purebred. Arizona,
where the dairy business has
been of recent development, is at
the top of the list, with 81 per
cent,

VERMONT A PIONEER.

ture helped start the Good Roads
movement in the United States.
Here, as in so many cases, Yer
mont played the pioneer. There
had been too little official recog-
milton by state governments that
there was a need of radical
changes in road laws and policies,
demanding the most serious at
tention of the members of state
legislatures.
But the Vermont Legislature
was awake to the fact, and hence,
authorized the appointment of
three commissioners to make an
examination Of the highway sys-
tenn in this State and to make
such report as in their judgment
may be deemed expedient.'
Vermont Highway Commission
Report Was OF National
Significance.
The report of the Highway
Commission published in 1894
was a document of national signi-
ficance; but it was one of the in
fuences which Led other states
investigate and to act. Thus
Maryland authorized an investi-
cation in 1898 and Maine in
1905.
The subject of the Vermont re-
port was Highway Improve
ment," and the report was made
by Commissioners George w
Hooker, J W Votey, and O L
Kinds.
They desired that the public
regard the report "as a prelim-
mary statement of the situation
or a first step in the direction of
the improvement of Vermont
roads. 1t will accomplish, in at
least small degree, the object
for which this Commission was
appointed, if it secures for the
highways hereafter the attention
which their Importance de-
mands."
The Keynote Of The Report.
The keynote of the report was
given in the first words of the
/ introduction as follows:
We'll built and carefully main
tanned highways, affording rapid
and easy transit, are essential to
the prosperity and full develop
ment of any community; while
neglect to provide and care for
such lines always prevents or re-
tards the growth Of any section.
The more widely separated the
industries of any community, the
more their success depends upon
the excellence of these lines of
transportation. No sections of a
country feel the injurious effects
of bad roads as do the farming
communities. Hence the inhabi-
tants of Vermont, where the
leading industry is agriculture,
should be especially interested in
any measures leading toward the
improvement of the highways on
which they are so largely de-
pendent.
Abstracts of Road Laws of Ii
Other States.
The commission has studied,
and wanted the public to study,
the road laws and policies of
other states; for they incorporat-
ed in their report a series of alb
stracts of the laws of 13 states,
as follows: California, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Miss
ouri, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, New York, North Dakota,
Oregon, Tennessee, Washington
and Wisconsin.
Another note from abroad was
the description by Engineer Will
liam S Bacot-then at work on
the road system of a Vermont
city-of the Richmond County,
New York, road system and the
road Improvements in the town
of Lenox, Mass.

INSECT CONTROL IN NORTH

In it's insect-control ork in

ture treated 69,710 acres; 1919
trees containing 6,672,490 board
feet were felled and the infested
bark containing the broods of
destructive beetles removed and
burned. It is thought that re-
duction in the infestation of at
least SO per cent will result.
The production of crimson

VermOnt's EpOch-Making
Changes in 1892.

CndnSeS In 1917.
But the Vermont Legislature
of 1892 did not confne itself to
authorizing an investigation. II
acted.
One law (No. 56) did three
things. a. 1t created the office
of Road Commissioner in every
town of the State. (2.) 1t sub
stituted for the old method of
working out road taxes a 20%
money tax in the towns. (3.) 1t
established the SO State High
way Tax.
Another law (No. sly enabled
towns, cities and incorporated
villages to issue bonds for the
purpose of purchasing road-mak-
ing apparatus and for building
permanent highways.
Altogether, 1892, thirty years
ago, was a great year in the
development of Vermont high
way legislation and policies.

Many Noted Executives
Attend Dinner at
White House.
LINES EARNINGS
HIGHER, HE SAYS
Business Needs Stimulus
Of Such Reduction,
Presidents Plea.

Leading railroad executives of the
country attended dinner at the
White House last night at which the
President sought to obtain agreement
on a plan to reduce freight and pas
senger rates and thus assist in slim
ulating a revival OF industry.
Mr. Harding pointed out that rail-
road earnings are increasing steadily
and that latest reports showed they
were very near the 6 per cent guar
antee of the Railroad Administra-
ton. Business. backward for about
two years, needs the stimulus OF de-
creased rates. he told the diners.
Would Help Business.
Decreased rates. he said. would
help revive business. thus giving the
railroads more traffic and consequent
ly more profits. At the same time.
the benefits of this prosperity would
extend to all lines and bring the
country back once more to sound
economic footing, he believed.
The dinner was patterned after the
one given by President Harding earlier
this week for steel manufacturers
when leaders in that industry indi-
Gated they would accept the Hard
lhS pan lot abOllSnIng the Twelve
hour working day in steel plants.
