ness are not moved and swayed by
some of the unreasoning claptrap
which usually is directed against
public utility cororations. Business
men view these problems in cold,
calculating business way. If the claim
of the company is economically sound,
the business man will approve it. If it
is unsound, he will attack it and at
tack it vigorously; and will be justi-
fled in his attack. In all cases, it is
well to understand at the beginning
some of the motives behind such a
corporations application. That will
check false impressions and senseless
alarms; it will also put everyone on the
alert, but wisely on the alert. That
is why, without favor or prejudice
we have presented these facts.

Hog raisers of Clay county, Nebr.,
have built more than 1000 movable
hog houses during the last two years,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
order to keep their herds on clean
ground and prevent roundworm in
festation. Farmers of the county be-
came interested in hog lot sanitation
in 1922, when the county agriculture!
agent arranged with two hog raisers
to carry on demonstrations of the
method and the results obtained by
following the system. The litters
which were narrowed and kept on
clean pastures were in both cases
much more thrifty than those kept il
old, infested quarters. In one case
where IS litters were narrowed in
clean quarters and kept on clean pas
ture, 22S pigs topped the market in
six months, when they averaged 1876
pounds each. Litters on the same
farm which were kept in old hog lots
soon developed runts. A farmers
automobile tour was organized to Wis
it the demonstrations and a number
of individual visits were also made by
farmers from all parts of the county.

AGRICULTURE

Heavy fines are helping to prevent
violators of the Federal game regula-
tons from profiting by their attempts
tc evade the law. AS an instance of
the severity with which violations Of
the migratory bird treaty act are re-
garded, a man was arraigned in the
Federal court at Bangor, Me-, at the
June term for shipping cartridges
from Maine to New York contrary
to State law and in violation Of Sec
ton a of the migratory bird treaty
act. He entered plea Of guilty and
was fined $500. The accused had pre-
viously been prosecuted in State

and costs. The evidence was obtain
ed by Federal Wardens George E.
Cushman and B. E. Smith, Of the

Successful Immigration Of over &
half million bushels Of stored wheat
for the Angoumois grain moth was
accomplished by some $500 farmers
Of York county, Pa, last year, saving
the heavy annual loss previously ex-
perienced from this past. Thru dem
onstrations which the county agent
had conducted for several years the
practice of fumigation the wheat was
we'll known as a control measure. Diff
ficulty was found, however, obtaining
the carbon disulphid used for the pur-
pose. Following plan suggested al
community meeting early in the
the spring of 1923, a dealer was found
who agreed to purchase the carbon
disulphide in bulk, together with a
quantity of screw top cans. each hold
ing enough to funaigate 100 bushels
Of grain. On each can was pasted a
label giving explicit directions for use
and care of the. liquid. These cans,
after filling, were packed into wooden
cases holding "a cans each and shin
ped to warehouses and stores in all
parts Of the county. No objection was
made to carrying carbon disulphid in
the small containers, as there was no
odor or loss from evaporation, and the
disagreeable task of filling containers
was eliminated.
Thru this arrangement fhmigating
material in suitable containers and in
small quantity could be obtained at
so points in the county.

More and more women entering on
work previously open only to men
One of the most recent examples is
that Of Miss Margaret w. Wythe, Of
the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology,
Berkeley, Calf, who was appointed
temporary inspector of foreign birds
and mammals at the port of San
Francisco. The inspection of import
ations Of foreign birds and mammals
for the purpose Of preventing the en-
trance Of animals and birds injurious
to agriculture some of the functions
Of the Biological Survey Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
have both been found effective in con-
trolling field mice which were attack
ing peanut crops in Texas. Because
of this pest one farmer had been un-
able to get stand of peanuts for
several years. Losses would occur
within day or two of planting. This
season, on the recommendation of the
district leader of the Biological Sur
vey, two patches Of five quarts of seed
peanuts were treated, one part with
the standard strychnine and starch
preparation and the other with solu-
ton of creosote and pine tar. On in
spection after 10 days it was found
that the peanuts had sprouted with
out being molested. In spite Of sever
al showers the poison paste was prov
ed to be still effective. The creosote-
pine-tar solution which makes the
seed unpalatable is more economical
of application, but. the strychnine
coating will actually kill the mice,
thus freeing the fields of their de-
structive activities.
