ers received no such encouragement
When the loud-mouthers failed to "get
across" big enough from Olympia they
week-ended in Seattle and broke into
still bigger print. Then the legisla-
ture spent the following week wrang-
ling over what the newspaper said
was said.
In his comment Mr.. Wood says:
'But session devoted strictly to bus
mess, as this session promised to be,
presented all the aspect sof tame
session. There are influences at
work in this state, especially journal
istic influences, to which tamesness
makes no appeal. Wherefore the ear
lest Indications Of differences Of opin-
ion among legislators, however mild
ly expressed, were seized upon with
avidity and magnified out of all pro-
portion. Grievances were manufac-
tured and little quarrels which might
easily have been compromised, were
exaggerated and encouraged.
Seekers after notoriety and menu
bers sparring for partisan or fac
tional advantage were quick to dis
cover the way to emminence in news
paper headlines; and newspapers deal
ing with jazz in preference to facts
and fundamental issues have been un-
failing in their appreciation Of the
noise-makers. The give and take of
bunk has been continuous. In this
part of the proceedings Of the session,
a few new members have been star
red. II these members, at the out
set Of the session, knew anything
whatever about the states business or
the condition Of the states many in
stitutions and fixed obligations they
gave no sign Of it. The record Of this
session, now nearly made up, credits
them with no constructive suggestions
or helpful motions. Yet they occupied
.and wasted-a great deal Of time.

Heavy Corn Ration May
Cause Death of Lambs

There are large numbers of lambs
In the cornfields of northern Colorado.
Most OF these lambs have been on the
corn for three or -four weeks. They
have stripped the plants of leaves and
husks and are eating the corn grain
in some instances with vel I, little for
age available to tighten the ration.
Unless the lambs are supplied with
plenty Of forage and arrangements
made so they will consume II, there is
danger from now on Of heavy death
losses. due to a o heavy corn feed.
Lambs are being held in the pens
and fed alfalfa until noon, then turned
on the corn until evening with good
success. They are herded in the pens
over night and held there until the
following noon on hay. This causes
them to take on a good fill Of alfalfa
before going on the corn and so far
death losses on these lambs have been
neglisle.
The lambs need alfalfa or other rro-
tein forage for protection against too
much grain and should be made TO
take 1t in sufficient quantities to regu-

Control Currant Pests
During Dormant Period

San Jose scale. well known to near
~ every orchardist, Is n serious pest
on currants and somewhat less on
gooseberries. but 1t can readily be con
trolled. A good spraying with lime
sulphur solution during the dormant
period will clean this of. If no,
familiar with this disease, II can be
recognized by the small white specks
that grow in the bark, looking ms If II
had been busted with white or gray
powder.
There are several other pests. The
imported currant worm is about three
fourths of an inch long, green with
yellow tips. They appear first In early
spring as soon as the leaves are out,
and there is one other brood, and
sometimes n third later In the season.
They devour the foliage. These are
readily destroyed by an %arsenical
poison. By catching the first brood
there will be little trouble later In the
season.
The currant aptis. n form of plant
louise, sucks the sap and curls the
leaves. 1t is easily controlled by spray
ing with an oil emulsion spray or q
nicotine solution. The insect Is found
clustered on the low. surface of the
leaves.
The currant borer works up and
down inside of the stems of the old
wood, not being visible but showing
evidence of Its presence by the weak
ened, sickly condition of the stem. The
way to control It is to cut out the
weak. sIckly stems each fan or spring,
which should be done anyway, whether
there is borer present or not.

Mutton and Lamb
Most Healthful
More Attention to Sheep
Is Urged.
prepared by the United state. Department,

prepared by the United States en-,
of Agricultural
Inc production of sheep for wool
alone is rapidly on the wane in the
United States. More and more EN-.
phasis Is being placed on the produc-
ton of lamb and mutton for the table,
although only 81 per cent of the meat
consumed by the average American for
h last five years was lamb or mutton.
This proportion should be much lurger
according to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, ms mutton and
lamb are among the most healthful,
nutritious and palatable of meats.
The reason for the limited use OF
lamb and mutton throughout the cen.
trail section of the United States prob
ably had its origin in the days of the
development of the great corn belt re-
gion west of the Appalachian noun
tains. department workers say. At that
time the sheep owned by the settlers
of hat region came largely from the
North Atlantic states and had been de
veloped almost without exception for
wool production, regardless OF the in
herent flavor of the meat. The flesh Of
these animals was no doubt tough, not
so palatable as other meats, and posi-
bly,. owing to the crude methods of car
ing for it. much of it was unfit for use.
There Is a characteristic taste in
cooked mutton and lamb. due to the
chemical contents of the meat fat, that
makes it easy to distinguish from other
kinds of meat. The same Is r of
beef, chicken, venison, or rabbit. In
order to prove that this taste was not
unwholesome and that the meat was
palatable, experiments were made by
the bureau of animal industry Of the
department, in cooperation with the
office of home economics, which proved
hat lamb and mutton are wholesome,
appetizing and economical meats for
family use, ranking well up with other
meats in food value per pound. The
fact hat only a small proportion of
sheep carcasses are condemned under
government meat inspection furthers
the opinion of department workers that
mutton and lamb should be used more
generally.
