SHEEP ON FEED NOW
SHOW Big INCREASE
REPORT SHOWS MONTANA HAS
INCREASED SHIPMENTS
OVER 10000 HEAD

There were about three per cent
or 10000 head more sheep and lambs
on feed for market in the corr belt
and western states on December 1 !
this year than on the same date last
year according to an estimate given
out Monday by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The total
estimated number on feed this year
is $4,000 head of which 1888, 900
head r in the cornbelt and 1882, 900
head are in the West as against
100000 head on feed last year of
which 2,624,0OO head were in the corn
belt and 2,376,O00 head were in the
West. In the cornbelt states there
were about 10000 lambs more on
feed than last year. Of this increase
over 10000 head is in the states east
of the Mississippi and 10000 in
those west. The states showing on
siderable increases are Indiana with
5000 more and Iowa with $4,000
more, while the two largest feeding
states, Michigan and Nebraska, show
little change. The farm feeding in
Illinois shows an increase of around
10000 head but this is more than
offset by a decrease of 10000 head
at feeding stations adjacent to Chi
! cago.
The western feeding areas show
a decrease of some 10000 head from
last yea Colorado however shows
an incres1.e of 10000 head from
1,40O,O OO last year to 1,440,0O0 head
this year. This increase is due to
10000 head more in Northern Colo
RADIO, the. Arkansas Valley showing
a decrease of 10000 head and the
San Luis Valley practically the same
number as last year. Idaho shows
a decrease of 10000 head while Utah
shows the same number as last year.
California and Nevada show decreas-
es of $4,000 and $4,000 head re-
spectively while Montana and Wyom-
ing show increases of 10000 and
$4,000.
While the total market movement
of sheep and lambs from cornbelt
pastures and western ranges this
year shows an increase of around
300, 900 head over last year, this in
crease has been due to the increased
marketing of western lambs. The
marketings from the cornbelt states
during the months when the native
grass stock moves show a decrease
of over 100000 head form last year
and every state shows a decrease. The
m~arketings of western lambs from
July 1 show an increase of over 800,
900 head. The shipments of stockei
and feeder sheep and lambs into the
cornbelt through markets show an in.
crease of around 100000 head from
August 1, to November 1. This de
crease in marketings Of native stocl
may indicate either an expansion o.

SUBSTITUTE RATION DEVISED
FOR CALVES OF DAIRY HERDS

In dairy heards whose entire out
put is sold as whole milk at high
prices, there is need for a means of
raising the calves on other feeds. A
number of substitute rations have
been worked out at various expert
ment stations which have proved fair
~ satisfactory. On the experimental
farm of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, at Beltsville,
Md, a mixture has been devised as
the result of experience, which is sug-
gested for use in raising calves where
the whole milk is more profitably dis
posed of through other sources.
The departments recommended ra-
ton is as follows: Take so parts fine
Iy ground corn, Is parts linseed oil
meal, Is parts finely ground rolled
eats, 10 parts dried blood flour, 10

COMES
IN RECLAMATION

Washington, Nov. 24.-The annual
report of the Secretary of the Inter
ior shows that department has been
living up to the letter and the spirit
of the economy program of the Re-
publican administration. During the
last year its routine expenditures
were $22,584,OOO less than the pre-
vious year. Notwithstanding this
large reduction in expenditures, the
department. has transacted more bust
ness in practically every one of its
bureaus than in any previous year.
In conveying his report to the
President and to the Congress, Sec
rotary of the Interior Hubert Work
discusses at some length the crisis
now confronting reclamation work.
Upon this point he says:
'There are several matters of pub
lie moment, however, that should
command the prompt attention of the
President and Congress. l refer to
a critical situation that has develop
ed in the expenditures of the govern
ment running into a sum near $780,
000, 900 in the construction, and main
tenance of projects for the reclaming
of arid and semi-arid lands.
"The reclamation law provides that
the cost of construction of each pro-
ject shall be paid within a 2O-year
period in installments of fixed
amounts, and also provides the an
nual maintenance cost, including OPP
GRAFTON shall be paid annually by the
water users. Out of the % projects
constructed, or in the course of con-
struction, only one of these projects
has fully complied with this require
I ment Notwithstanding that relief ex-
tending time of payment on three oc-
casions has been granted by Congress,
A number of them are in a state OF
financial insolvency, making it i'm
possible for the government to recov-
er the money invested in them, while
other projects are in such a dubious
state that it is difficult to presage
at the present time whether they
will ultimately pay out.
GIN order to ascertain the true con
ditions 1 have appointed a specia
committee of advisers composed o.
d~isinterested citizens of nationa
prominence, familiar with irrigation
; matters who have begun an exhaus'
tive analysis of the entire reclama

MELLON PLANS
TO WATCH PRICES.
REPUBLICAN TAX LEVY OF 1921
HAS REDUCED FEDERAL TAX
OVER $4,000, 100000

Secretary Mellon proposes a plan
for reducing federal taxes in the sum
of 1928, 000, 900. If carried into effect
it will be the second reduction in
federal taxes by the Republican par
ty and Congress during this admin
~istration.
The Republican party came into
power pledged to reduction and equal
ization of federal taxes. That pledge
is being faithfully kept. The first
year of this administration the Re-
publican Congress enacted a federal
tax law which has resulted in relieving
federal taxpayers of a load of near
ly $2,OOO,OOO,OO
An analysis of the returns of the
income tax under this new law shows
the greatest reductions were enjoyed
by that class of people which has the
smaller income and by those sections
of the country where there is the
least concentration of wealth.
In all the agricultural states the
reduction in income tax under the Re-
publican law has been in excess of
so per cent as compared with col,
lections under the Democratic law.
This fact answers the demagogic
charge that the Republican tax law
of 1921 was framed in the interest of
the wealthy while the mn of ordinary
income was not benefited by il.
Secretary MELONS proposition
would still further lift the load from
those of small earned income,
which is income expressed in terms
of wages and salaries as distinguish
ed from incomes from investments
OF the total reductions in the income
tax under Secretary Melons plan Al
per cent would be saved to those with
incomes of less than $4,000, while less
than 5 per cent would be saved tt
those with incomes of 100000 OIL
over.
In addition to the savings in In
come tax under the Republican Law
of 1921, the American consumers were
relieved of paying approximately
S240, 100000 a year by the repeal O.
a great number Of the miscellaneou
taxes, such as tax on drugs and toile
articles, soft drinks and candy, pas
senger tickets, freight and express
shipments, merchandise, etc.
Secretary MELONS second propos
ed slashing of federal taxes include
the repeal of taxes on kilograms, tel
Lephe2eGs, theatre and amus0Sent tic
kets, so-called luxury taxes, such a
that now imposed on watches an
~silverware, and a number of othe
nuisance" taxes. The repeal of thes
taxes would mean a further reduC
ton to the consumers of the countr
of 800, 100000 a year.
Secretary MELONS plan, like tn
Republican tax law of 1921, is com
mendable from every standpoint.
is not sectional. It does not penaliz
one class of citizens at the expens
of another class. It is equitable i
that it lifts the greatest load froI
those lest able to pay. 1t is with
out partisanship. It is justified b
every business practice and by tn
principles of sound political econom!

DENVER, Col, July 17-After an
albright vigil due to swollen riv-

APPOINTMENT OF new
TEACHERS CAUSES TILT
tcontinued from page

Mr.. Clark then asked for the vote
of the appointments and Mrs. Oliver
and Mr.. Sheehy voted yes, while Mr.
Andersen voted no.
At this point Maxwell Sosin re-
quested permission to say a few
| words, and declared he did not SEE
| where the rules came in. He sale
his sister had an application before
the board for an appointment FOL
the past seven months and that hei
| appointment had been put off. HI
said he could not see how marks
had anything to do with 1t, anc
stated his sister had been n o
the substitute teachers Mr.. Anderson
referred to.
Mrs. Oliver informed Mr.. Sosir
| that his sister would be appointed
to a position in due time, but failed
to see why the rules should b'
changed in this particular instance
| SO she might become a teacher, Mrs
| Oliver again declared the teachers
| committee works under the rule!
and regulations as they r and sh'
| recommended the appointment IL
the order of the ratings of the ap'
plioants.
Mr. Andersen spoke of the young
lady as working a whole year as a
substitute and held that even If a
teacher had a high rating it is no
| reason to believe that she is a good
teacher. He said that to his know
ledge some of the principals employ
ed in the schools never went h ugh
college.
Mr.. Sheehy, said the only way to
| arrive at a standard in employing
teachers is by following the mark
ings or ratings of that teacher. He
| continued saying that although Miss
Sosin had been employed as a SUBJ
! stitute she did not have to stay in
| the schools if she could obtain an
other position.
Mr.. Sosin again took the floor
and declared that as his sister had
received her training in Perth AM
boy she desired to teach in the local
schools.
Mr.. Andersen then recalled that al
! a recent meeting Mr.. Sheehy tried
to get a teacher appointed and said
that he went through college, when
he did not.
Mr.. Sheehy informed Mr.. Ander-
| sen that he was wrong and pointed
| out that he did not ask that the
young man he appointed and did
not say the candidate he mentioned
went through college although he
did say the candidate had gone to
Rutgers. He declared that as soon
as he found the man did not come
up to the qualifications he did not
press his appointment.
At this point Mr.. Sheehy left the
meeting and although Mr.. Andersen
Mr.. Sosin and Mrs. Oliver continued
to discuss the matter, 1t was unof-
fetal. Mrs. Oliver did suggest how
ever, that Mr.. Sosin take up the
matter with superintendent S. E
Shull.
Mr.. Sosin intimated that an invest
igation might be carried on in order
to find out just how teachers are APP
pointed.
Following the meeting it was
learned that the two substitute
teachers who failed to obtain ap-
pointments were: Miss Sadie Sosin
and Miss Lillian Goldstein.

BRITISH DRAFT REPLY
TO GERMANY'S NOTE

LONDON, July II CBy The Asso-
ciated Press). - Foreign Secretary
Curzon drew up additional sections
of the British draft reply to the Ger
man reparation note today, and it is
hoped to present the full texts both
of the draft and the covering letter
to the cabinet tomorrow. Copies of
both documents will probably reach
Washington by the end of the week.
The draft and the letter are ex-
clusively British productions, as
neither Italy nor Belgium is being
consulted in their preparation. While
forecasts would be wholly premature,
it may be said that the two leading
features of the proposed reply will be
carefully phrased references to Ger
many's passive resistance and the
American suggestion for appointment
of an international body of experts to
audit Germany's assets. Great Bri-
tain does not regard such an impair
tial commission as necessarily incom-
patible with the Versailles treaty and
hopes to win France around to this.
