why NOT Use WHEAT
IN FATTENING LAMBS

GAS a feed for ~fattening lambs,
wheat has been used only in a very
limited extent" says Howard Hacker
horn, professor of animal husbandry
at the State College of Washington.
"Some lamb feeding trials were re-
ported a number of years ago from
the Montana experiment station,
wheat and red clover hay being used.
In these tests p black-faced lambs,
weighing an average of 20 pounds
each at the beginning of a 95-day
feeding test, gained over 25.34 pounds
"a little over a quarter of a pound
a day. That is a good average gain.
The lambs consumed an average ra-
ton Of 81 pounds of wheat and 2.04
pounds of hay per day. They were
fed about a third of a pound more OF
hay than they consumed. 1t required
TO pounds of hay and 1902 pounds OF
wheat per 100 pounds gain, on the
basis Of feed eaten, or about a thiro
more hay On the basis OF hay eaten.
These results compare very favor.

lambs were fed u pound of shelleC
corn and all the first cutting Of alfalf:
hay they would eat, which averaged
2.68 pounds per day. These lambs
100 in all, made an average daily gain
of 2.75 pounds each for go days.
"The cost of feeding a lamb 95 day

experiments) and assuming the cos

THE NEW TARIFF LAW AND
THE AMERICAN FARMER

The battlecry upon which Mime
sofa was carried by the socialists in
the recent election was to the effect
that everything the farmer had to sell
had gone down in price, and every
thing he had to buy was going up be-
cause of the tariff.
1t is not true that on the whole
there has been a drop in farm prices.
There was a tremendous increase IN
the aggregate amount received for
farm products in this country in 1922
v e 1921, and an increase in 1923
over 1922 is indicated by government
statistics.
1t is not true that the tariff is re-
sponsible for an increase in the price
of what the farmer buys, and that
fact should have been pressed home
upon the Minnesota electorate.
1t was particularly complained that
the price of agricultural implements
had gone up under the Fordney-Mc'
Cumber tariff law But agricultural
implements under that law are on the
free list. The same complaint wa:
made as to the effect of the new
tariff on the price of binder Irvine
fertilizer, building materials, leathe,
gloves, barbed wire fence and coal
All of them are on the freelist. Thos,
who claimed that the indcease 6n
| price of these commodities was du'
to the tariff, and made thousands o
voters believe it, were either ignoran
or willing to distort the facts to max
a political point. The situation prove
that taking the tariff off a manufact
ured article helps the importer and tn
! distributing concerns, but does tn

ultimate consumer no good whatever.
The farmer was also told that the
low price of wheat proved that the
tariff did the farmer no good. The
low price of wheat is due to the fact
that the American people are con-
Stunning less wheat than they did a
few years ago; that there was a big
wheat crop this year and reviving Eu-
rope is entering the world markets
as a competitor. But wheat is sell
ing today in Canada for 7 and 8 cents
less per bushel than in Chicago and
Minneapolis. But for the tariff
wheat would be selling at the same
price, and probably the low price, on
both sides of the border. Seven cents
a bushel on the American wheat crop
of this year means a saving to the
American farmer Of fifty-seven mil
lion dollars.
These are facts that should nave
been put before the Minnesota farm.
ers instead of apologies for and de.
nunciations of the Fordney-McCum
Der tariff law on the theory that the
claims and charges of the socialis+
politicians in Minnesota were true.

GENEVA BARGAINS.

1t appears that membership dues
to the league of nations are decidedly
flexible, and fixed according to the
willingness and ability of the mem

Nicaragua is three years in arrears
and owes $6O 10000. She has been in
formed that the bill has been cut to
$10,675, which may be paid in ten an
nual installments, and that her an

$4,000 to $5.047. Now we will see il

If Nicaragua thinks her league mem
bership benefits her to the value Of
$4,000 a year she may pay, but the
probabilities are she will consider
it a luxury at a dollar a year.

MIDLAND empire
wheat CROP BIG

BILLINGS, Aug. 18.-Wheat has
been pouring into local elevators for
several days, and reports show the
earlier predictions of an abundant
yield in the Midland empire are am
ply justified in theactual returns.
From 35 to 40 bushels to the acre,
is the usual yield reported from irri-
gated fields. Threshing has not pro-
crossed far enough in the non-irri-
gated sections to maze a definite
statement, but the crop will undoubt-
edly be much larger than last year.
According to- E. D. Calvert, mana
ger of the Occident Elevator company
wheat has started to come in fairly
large quantities the last few days
and about 5000 bushels have been re-
ceive&, including both winter and
spring wheat. The wheat is of fair
quality, we'll filled out and fairly
heavy. Much of it weighs from So to
so pounds, with some weighing 81
and 81. Better quality is expected
with the later wheat, but the quality is
perhaps not quite as good this year
as in some previous years.
Nearly all the wheat secured thus
far has been from irrigated land and
has varied from Is to 40 bushels to
, the acre. The non-irrigated wheat
thus far marketed has run about Is
to 16 bushels to the acre, but the
farmers state these fields were not up
to the average and that the best has
not yet been threshed.
l Owing to the wet weather, thresh.
> ing operations had only got under
. fair Roadway the last few days. Many

grain in bins for better prices. Th'
Y company expects to handle from 3,

Observation-Disclosures faces an newt

United States department of agricul-
ture declare, in a recent report on
the timber situation printed for free
d~istribusion.
However, if timber crops were to
be grown and intensive forestry
methods observed on all forest land In
the country-some 470, 100000 acres
the nations timber problem could
be alleviated.
"Three outstanding measures are
necessary to bring about the growing
Of timber crops on forest lands" &C
cording to the report. "The first
step is to stop unrestrained forest
exploitation and the denuding which
is a direct result Of timber mining.
The second step required is to reduce
waste in the use of timber, and the
! third objective of paramount import
ance is to increase timber production
to the full capacity of the land. Pro-
lection from fire, insects, and dis
ease, of course, must go hand in hand
with all reforestation projects.

be done, many years must pass before
we can make our forests produce

now yearly taken from them, and 3

Cross ss-examination of third negro witness had just begun by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for Mrs. Stokes, when court adjourned until tomorrow.
 The trial was resumed after a three-day recess when Mrs. Stokes returned from Missouri with deposi- tions refuting testimony of two wit nesses for MT. Stokes that she had been in Bunceton, Mo, in 1904, with Edgar T. Wallace, chief correspond ent. One of the documents alleged that MT. Stokes offered the deponent, Hayden, Moore. a grocer, s1,o00 to testify against the defendant.
 After Mrs. Stokes had returned she charged that a dictograph had been found yesterday in her hotel suite by W. c. Nannenberg. Chicago in vestigator It was attached to an extra wire in the wall, but was not connected at the other end. Charles E. Erbstein, Chicago attorney for Mrs. Stokes, declared.

 Ten months ago, the commission. in formal statement, declared that there was merit in the Warriors in sistence that it be given a share of the profit from transportation, but urged the railroads voluntary to make concessions. It promised, how ever. that if the railroads continued to ignore the justical claims of river service it would again investigate and put in fair rates by Q formal order.
 The concessions that the Southern made were inadequate, according to MT. Brent, and the appeal to the com mission to make good it's promise was necessary. It is feared that the decision of the commission, even if favorable, will be greatly delayed. There is hint that congressional &C., tion may be sought by the Warrior management.
