BETTER STOCK DRIVE BRINGS FINE RESULTS
Pure-Bred Sires Gives Gratifying Advantages In Live Stock Raising

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Farmers who have joined the better slres- better stock" campaign, and by so doing pledged themselves to use only purebred sires of any kind on their farms, now number more than 12. 0e0. according to the latest figures published by the United States depart ment of agriculture. This campaign was begun by various states and the department four years ago and mas been gaining hearway ever since. During the sixteenth quarter of this period, the three months ending Sep tember 30, 469 pers ms enrolled from II states. Each farmer who signs the pledge lists the numbers of diff ferent kinds of livs stock owned, and the records now show that those taking part in this movement for live stock improvement own nearly 500,000 animals and close to 1,000,- 000 head of poultry.
 The states now having the largest membership are Ohio, with 2,75S; 1,50S, and Nebraska, with 1,439. Ken lucky and Vermont made the largest gains in the last three months. The counties making the best showings In this period were Windsor county, Vermont, and Union county, Ken lucky, but Pulaski county, Virginia, is still far in the lead. of all counties, with a membership of 57S farmers and breeders During the last quar- ter 20 new members were added in that county.
 The records kept by the depart ment of agriculture show some in teresting facts concerning the live stock owned by those who have signed the pledges. All the males kept must be purebred; but females may be purebred, crassbred. grade or scrub There are more purebred females among the swine kept than in any other kind of animals listed 62.9 per cent. Cattle come second in this respect. As high as 72 per cent of. the mares are grades; sheep come next in this respect. Only per cent of the swine are classed as scrubs; 1.2 per cent of the sheep; 3.3 per cent of the cattle. and al per cent of horses. These figures, it must be remembered, apply only to these farms where nothing but purebred sires are used
 Many of the farms or the members of the better sres-better stock" campaign may be identified from the highway by a sign, supplied by the department, which bears the words 'Purebred Sres Exclusively Used on This Farm" Each sign bears the owners membership num- Der.

BALDWIN OUTLINES TAXATION PROJECT
Points Out Benefits Expected From Imposing Duty On
 Manufactured Goods

LONDON, Nov. 17.-(By Associated ss.)-Prime Minister Baldwin to- day issued an address to the voters in the Bewdley division of worcester shire, which he represents in Parlia- ment, informing them that the con servative party purposes imposing duties on manufactured goods with the following objects:
 "To raise revenue by methods less unfair to our own home production, which at present bears the whole burden of local and national taxation, including the cost of relieving unem- ployment.
 ITO give special assistance to in- dustries which are suffering under unfair foreign competition.
 ITO. utilize these dutIes In order to negotiate for the reduction of foreign tariffs in those directions which would most benefit our export trade
 ITO give substantial preference to the empire on the whole range of our duties, with view to promoting the continued extension of the principle of mutual preference which already has done so much for the expansion of our trade and the development, in cooperation with the other govern- ments of the empire, of the bound less resources of our common heri- tage."
 The address continues that such a policy would enable the government, when more normal. conditions re- turned. to secure a greater measure of real free trade within the empire and with fcreign countries. Trade subject to the arbitrary interference of every foreign tariff and at the mercy of every disturbance in Eu rope, he said. was in no sense free and certainly not fair to the British peo- pie.
 He reiterated his promise for the exemption of certain foodstuffs from taxation, said raw materials would be exempted and incidentally stated that IT light cruisers would soon bs constructed.
