animals to leave him alone, but re-
quires them to give up their own prey
and permit him to tisfy his glut-
tonous appetite.
THE wolverine has no winning
bursts of speed to catch his food sup
ply, nor has he the gift of stalking his
quarry. His lack of speed and skill
has forced the animal to be scaven-
ger and eat anything In the way Of
flesh that is captured or found dead.
He often follows the trap lines of fur
trappers, eating or destroying the
catches, and, at times, dragging away
the traps
He will invade rangers or trap

the roof or side wall, destroy the food
contents, and what he cannot eat or
carry away, he will destroy in man.

However, despite the destructive

Wolverine, Big Weasel Of Evil Fame

~ AN FRANCTSCO.-The Sierra

his fierce and bloodthirsty dis
position, is making his last stand in
the high Sierras, according to Walter
Fry, head Of the nature guide service,

The wolverine, Mr.. Fry says, Is being
killed off by man, his natural enemy,
and by his own gluttonous habit of
killing and eating the porcupine. The
latter's quilts puncture the wolverines
intestines, causing him death of
agony in from seven to ten days.

Aid Eradication
of tuberculosis
Pugsley Signs Amendment
to Regulation of Ac-
credited Herds.

Valuation of cattle in localities
where animals are practically free
from tuberculosis will, no doubt, in
crease rapidly with the federal govern
ments Q. X. on modified accredited
areas. Cattle breeders have advanced
from the accredited herd unit to the
point where the government is ready
to accredlt areas that are almost COM
pletely free from the disease.
Acting Secretary of Agriculture G.
w. Pugsley has just signed an amend
Sens to the federal regulation having
to do with the eradication Of tuber-
culosis among cattle in which provision
is made for classifying certain areas
where the disease has been practically
eliminated as modified accredited
areas"
Work Shows Progress.
Secretary Pugsley's announcement
of the new regulation, which is now
in effect, states that there are many
counties In various states where the
cattle plague has been practically
eradlcated, and many others in which
cleanup work has gone far. As re-
suit, these areas will be recognized
and freed from certain inhibitions
which are necessary in other terri
tories
Last winter the United States Live
Stock Sanitary association adopted the
provisions contained in these new reg
ulations. They have also been adopted
by various cattle breeders assocla-
lions. The bureau Of animal industry,
In cooperation with state live stock
sanitary authorities, will carry them
out, maintaining guarantees to protect
designated areas from the introduce
ton of INFESTED animals from other
counties or states.
Under the amended provisions a
county may be designated as modi-
fed accredited area when a complete
test Of all cattle in the area shows
less than one-half Of per cent to be
reactors--that Is, affected with tuber-
culosis," says the acting secretary's
announcement. "Those few herds In
which infected animals were found
will be quarantlned and carnot be re-
tested within less than sixty days
from the date of the original test.
"Once an area Is put into this modi-
fed accredited classification, no cattle
can be brought in unless from an
accredited herd or after having passed
satisfactory tuberculn test. How
ever, under certain conditions they
may be brought in for slaughter or for
feeding and grazing"
Washington Gives Rules.
According to the announcement
from Washington, when an area is des-
ignated by the cooperating state and
federal authorities as a modified ac-
credited area, 1t will remain In this
classification for three years, provided
there is no indication, through ami
mails slaughtered or in other ways, that
the percentage Of tuberculosis does not
exceed one-half Of i per cent at any
time. If it is found that / per cent
or more reacts, all cattle must be re-
tested; If the infection Is between
one-half Of l per cent and ! per cent
only infected herds must be retested,
and when the percentage of reactors
is reduced below one-half of / per cent
the area must be classed as a modified
accredited area.

A certain proportion of farmers,
who apparently have signed every
thing that has come along since the
Declaration of independence, are hes
ltant about signing contracts with the
cooperative marketing organizations.
They have been "stung before" they
explain
Despite the fact that these coopera-
tive organizations have the backing Of
both the federal and state govern
ments, and despite the fact that the
managers of the associations are heav-
ily bonded, these farmers side-step at
the idea Of tying up their wheat or
beet production by contract.
They point out that service, rather
than contracts, should be the founda-
tion on which cooperative associa-
ton is built. And as a second point
to back up their unwillingness to join
with the majority, they say that the
contract interferes with their Ameri-
can right Of liberty of action.
There is perhaps grain of truth in
both these statements, but there also
Is another side to the question.
Pioneers in the cooperative market
ing movement long ago discovered
that contracts were an absolute ne
.cessity. Cooperators who didn't COOP
crate did more damage to the move
Ynent than any other cause. Herman
Steen, in his new book on cooperative
marketing, tells of how the bluegrass
seed growers in Kentucky formed a
cooperative association in 1908.
The season. that the association was
formed. the buyers raised their bids
on the seed from SO cents to $1.1O.
The growers had never gotten t h t
much before. They broke out of their
organization and sold. The dealers
lost 20 cents pound on every pound
they bought at $1.10, but they gained
in the long run. The cooperative or
ganization was broken up, and the
buyers paid what they pleased again
for the next IA years.
This story, repeated over and over
again in communities where coopera-
tives were organized without binding
contracts, has proven that the con-
tract is necessary-as protection
against the outsider who is trying to
smash the organization, if for no 9TH
er reason.
AS for the American right of liber-
ty of action that he signs away when
he joins the cooperatives, there is
nothing much that can be said. CO.
operative contract is in itself a little
declaration of independence. 1t is a
declaration of independence from the
factors that have been automatically
debating what the farmer should get
without giving him the slightest
chance of even vote in the matter.
at is a serious question whether a
grower has any liberty at all under the
ordinary system of marketing" says
Steen "Certainly he doesn't have
enough to be worth fighting for
