Hog Cholera Is
More Prevalent
Many Farmers Failed to I'M
munize Herds-Incorrect
Diagnoses Made.

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture,)
Reports received from various sec
tons of the country by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
dictate that hog cholera is becoming
more prevalent than in any year since
the decline of the last extensive out
break, which reached its height in
1914.
During the spring and early sum-
mer isolated outbreaks appeared here
and there In various states. Owing to
the comparative freedom OF most
states from cholera, the expense of
procuring serum, virus and veterinary
service, the high price of corn and the
seemingly low price of hogs, many
farmers failed to have their herds I'M
muniZed last spring-as a consequence
there is in the country an unusually
large proportion of susceptible ami
mails. Reports show that cholera mas
appeared recently in communities
which have been free of this disease
for % years. In many localities II
gained considerable Roadway before
hog raisers realized the real nature
of the trouble. In toe many instances
the disease was diagnosed as henfor-
rhagic septicemia, influenza, indiges-
ton or some other trouble than
cholera.
Breeders Confuseu:
The large amount of advertising lit
erature sem out by commercial con
Germs supplying hog remedies has had
the effect Of producing much doubt
and confusion among swine growers
in regarl to the diseases of swine, and
also considerable indecisiOn among
veterinary practitioners in some sec
lions in regard to diagnosis. No doubt
many herds in which breaks Oc-
Cured this fall have beer allowed tor
die from hog cholera because veteri
nary practitioners have been reluctant
to diagnose cholera in herds which
had previously received the Simultane-
Gus treatment. Bureau veterinarians
who are cooperating with the state
authorities and devoting their entire
time to hOg-chOlera work often have
difficulty in convincing farmers that
the disease from which their hogs are
dying Is hog cholera instead of worms,
indigestion, hemOrrhagic septicemia,
mixed Infection" or some other dis
ease concerning which they had OBJ
timed Information from advertising
literature.
Continues Great Menace.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said of other swine diseases, hog chOl-
era continues TO be the greatest men
ace to the swine industry of this
country and both hog producers and
veterinary practitioners should keep
this in mind. The active virus of
cholera is present in the country con
tinuOuSly and ii Is not safe when one
or more hogs In a herd get sick to de-
lay from day to day In seeking as
sistance In the hope that the cOndi-
ton may disappear. Most of the
losses this fall were due to the neglect
of farmers to call their veterinarians
in time to administer the preventive
treatment before the infection had
had time to reach all of the swine In
the herd. Remember that the serum
treatment Is a preventive and not a
cure. Unless hog wne and vet
Urinary practitioners are on the alert
and act promptly, the losses will be
unusually heavy this winter.

Head of Union Pacific Says:
Western Wheat Grower !,
Must Change Crops.
BY. Cosmopolltan News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Farmers
who are faced. with the prospect.
of selling their wheat for dollar.
a bushel or less must learn the.
lesson of crop diversification. Carl
Gray, president of the Union Pa
cific railway system. said today,
following a tour of the West.
discouraged" he said, "but they
have been advised repeatedly TO
diversity. AS it is they probably.
will hold their crops. hoping for
an upward turn in the market.
THE future of the western farm
er lies in diversification. This
years severe experience may be Z
lesson. The western farmer needs
to get into dairying. He has the
land, he can get the stock and
has the markets for dairy prod.
ucts. Various stock interests are
eager to tour the grain States with
special educational trains in an
effort to get the farmers inter.
ested in dairying. Sections that
have taken it up have experienced
greater and steadier prosperity.
The president of the Union Pu.
cificf found conditions in the sugar.
beet, potato, apple, fruit and corn
districts good and in many in
stances exceptionally so. Potatoes,
he said, promise good quality, and.
fortunately, less quantity than last
year when there was over sproduc-
ton: The corn crop in Union Pa
cific territory, he said, should be
excellent. Oregon will have a bet
ter and greater crop Of apples,
and the fruit crop generally is the
best in several years. The same
outlook prevails for grapes These
generally favorable conditions were
referred to as indicating what
freight movements might be ex-
pected this fall. He expects Union
Pacific and other western carriers
to handle the heaviest traffic the
west has ever experienced when
the movement gets. fully underway.

Dropping of Lee, Higginson
Company Revealed in Re-

Rv MERRYLE S. RUKEYsER

BY MERRYLE 3. KUhEHSER
rconvripht. 1928, by Star Co., ana dis
trtbuted by Cosmopolitan News service.)
NEW YORK, Aug. behind
the sedate announcement Of new
$40, 900 900 three-year loan to Swift
zerland, insiders in the Wall Street
bond community saw a story which
did not appear to the layman's eye.
The routine circular revealed
that the country has changed its
bankers in the United. States.
J. P. Morgan and Company,
whose name has hitherto not ap-
peared in Swiss financing, headed
the underwriting syndicate. In
Switzerland's two previous dollar
loans sold to American investors,
Lee, Higginson and Company of
New York and Boston. not only
headed the underwriting syndicates,
but also acted as the fiscal agency
where interest and principal were
payable. Lee, Higginson and Com
pany' did not participate in the
new offering of the new threo-year
s per cent notes, offered at
price to yield per cent. The
notes raised funds apparently to
pay for Swiss purchases in this
country.
No official explanation Of why
Switzerland changed money lenders
was offered.
In 1919, Switzerland borrowed
$50 900 900, by the sale of bonds
with a 5h per cent coupon rate at
a price to yield 6 per cent, but in
July, 1920, with interest rates at
the peak, Switzerland sold $25,00O,-
900 Of 8 per cent bonds at par,
which was close to the rate at
which France and Belgium bor-
rowed.
Investors recognized the new
offering as a bargain and the bonds
quickly went to high premium.
Unlike France and Belgium, Swift
zerland was not saddled with a
large war debt.
On account Of the high interest
rates exacted in 1920, all borrow
ers were more or less resentful.
There was not a little criticism in
Switzerland over the payment of
such a high rental for borrowed
funds and possibly this feeling was
factor in the shift of bankers
]. P. Morgan and Company has
greatly been increasing the scope
of it's foreign operations since the
war. More than any other indi.
vidual banking firm it has been
benefiting from Americas new po-
sition as great creditor, or lend
ing nation. The turn of political
events in Europe brought to the
house of Morgan the assignment of
heading the American group under
writing the recent Austrian loan,
and in the financial district many
heblieve. that if the allies accept a
formula. which will make loan to
Ge%many. feasible that Morgan, in
stead Of the houses with long-stand-
ing Teuton connections, will be in
vited to take a place at the fore
front, of the banking group.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Firmness
characterized the first two hours
trading on the stock exchange to-
day. The market showed plainly
that it was paying more attention
to the news in the domestic sltua-
ton than to developments overseas,
which were decidedly unfavorable.
Hope Of an understanding between
England and France faded material
ly following the announcement by
Premier Baldwin in the house OF
commons that the French and
Belgian replies on the British notes
offered no prospect Of joint allied
answer to Germany. In the foreign
exchange market this unfavorable
turn in the European affairs was
reflected in further drop in

year. ="

Of business activities despite talk
OF seasonal let up, report of
failures in July showing the small
est total for any month since No
vember, 1920, and the better feeling
created by the returning strength
in wheat and cotton accounted for
the upward movement in the first
part of the session. Doubtless the
closing out of short contracts con-
stituted the larger part of the
transactions, although certain
amount of investment buying was
unquestionably attracted by the low
levels now prevailing.
The upward trend was discern
able from the start, but traders felt
their way cautiously and were not
inclined to bid up prices rapidly.
Trading was fairly active, but
slowed down after the initial de-
mand was filled. The. complete alb
sence of selling pressure, accom-

buying in the second hour, and

MOTHER READY
To DIE WITH
BABES
Refuses to Leave When Trap
ped With Children in
Burning Home.


HAGERSTOWN, Md, Feb. %
A mother stood ready to sacrifice
her life with her loved ones yester-
day when fire broke out in the home
of John Kunkelman, in the western
section Of the city, trapping Mrs.
Kunkelman and her six children
in upstairs rooms.
Four the the children who hung
from the windows until the fire
men reached the scene were res
cued. The mother, who was Sleep
ing in another room with an infant
child and a crippled twelve-year-old
son, did not awaken until the other
four children had been rescued.
When she was aroused by the
smoke, she refused to leave the
crippled child and the infant to
burn to death, so she locked the
door and awaited her fate There
firemen found her and the two
children when they had extinguish-
ed the blaze in the lower floor. They
were unframed except suffering
from the smoke.
The fire started when the father,
from work early in the
lay down upon a couch
on the lower floor and fell asleep
while smoking a cigar. sKunkelman's
clothes were burned from his body,
but he will recover
