Holstein Breeders to
Hold Sale at Snohomish

The Washington State Holstein
Friesian Association will hold its first
consignment sale of this year on June
rs on the old Snohomish County Fair
Grounds at Snohomish.
In putting on this sale the associa-
ton has started something new in the
way of requirements of its consign-
ors. In times past much complaint
has been heard of the quality Of some
Of the offerings; also in many in
stances In the past there has been
great difficulty in getting registration
papers and transfer applications for
animals sold, so to obviate future an
noyances Of this kind the association
has made ruling that all cattle Of
Tered In the future at sales under its
management. must first be passed up
on as to their quality. by competent
inspection: and secondly, no animal
will be allowed to enter the sale ring
until certificate Of registration, and
signed application Of transfer blank
are in the hands of the clerk Of the
sale. ready to be handed over to the
purchaser.
These requirements faithfully foi.
lowed out will put the sales of the
Washington State Holstein-F riesiar
Association on a higher plane than
usually obtains at purebred cattle
sales.
The consignments to this sale will
all have been recently tested for tn
berculosis, or will be out of accredit
ed herds; and the usual 6O-day retes,
privilege will be granted in all cases.
1t is a number Of years since the
last Holstein sale was held in Sno-
homish, so breeders are looking for
ward with much interest to this sale
scheduled for June 25 on the old Sno.
homish County Fair Grounds when
the management promise a most un.
usual opportunity to dairymen and
breeders to get some of the best rep
resentatives of the breed ever sold
at public auction in the Northwest.

nation was the first of series
events leading up to the opening Of
Yellowstone Park travel through
Utah on June 18. The states interest,
as shown by the unusual guberna-
torial announcement, lies in the fact
that 1t is the gateway to West Vel
lowstone, the principal entrance OF
the wonderland. Government figures
show that through 1t comes more rail
travel than at all other entrances
combined, in addition to the greatest
percentage of total travel, the fact
causing the wide celebration planned
at Salt Lake and other Utah cities.
1t is expected here that points in
Idaho and Oregon, which are also in
gateway positions to the park en-.
trance at West Yellowstone, will fol-
low Utah's lead in celebrating this

USE YOUR GRAY MATTER

That wonderful organ called the
brain weighs about three pounds; Is
shaped like an oval loaf of bread and
is split in the center in two parts
called hemispheres, that look like
large coffee beans.
The most interesting part Of the
brain, and perhaps the most import
ant intellectually, is the gray matter
which constitutes the outer layer.
This gray matter contains cells which
take care Of the important and deli.
cate work of the brain. It is due to
the chemical or physical effects that
they exert on one another that incom
ing sensations and impressions lead
to sending out of messages to the "ae-
ton" nerve ibres.
The rest of the brain is made up Of
white nerve fibers, which are called
white matter. These, like telephone
wires, convey messages to the mus
cles, or from one piece of gray mat.
ter to the next.
Science has discovered few things
about the action Of certain parts OF
the brain. We know there is a small
strip Just above the ear that controls
the movements of different parts O.
the body. When there occurs tumor
Of the brain, or an injury to the skull
in this part, by noting which muscles
are paralyzed, 1t can be determined
exactly where the trouble Is. Then a
hole can be drilled directly over 1t and
the tumor, or bone-splinter removed.
Other parts Of the brain control thu
action Of our senses as well as the
processes Of walking and breathing.
Little, however, Is known about the
way the brain carries on our reason
ing and thinking processes. The
thoughts or experiences are entered
in the brain. They are compared with
each other and with previous expert.
ences. Thus memory, judgment and
thought are developed, but we cannot
tell in which particular part of the
brain each process is carried out. An
ger, JOY, fear, jealousy, and other emo
tions and mental powers are general
effects Of our heredity and environ
ment and are not found in any partic
ular spot In the brain.

MUST WATCH CALIFORNIA
SAYS DIRECTOR FRENCH


It's as dangerous to relax vigilance
too soon after an epidemic of foot and
mouth disease Is believed to be under
control as it would be for physician
to desert a convalescent patient, Di-
rector of Agriculture F. l.. French ex-
plains
That California is rapidly getting
the disease under control, Director
French Is convinced, even though new
outbreaks have been reported COM
paratively recently In what is techni-
cally new territory. The number Of
head of stock affected Is rapidly de-
creasing.
However the southern officials are
impatient for resumption of business
relations with other states and insist
ent that danger Is passing. Director
French says that danger of reinfec-
ton or a fresh outbreak will continue
for some time after the last case Is
reported Because SO little Is known
Of the foot and mouth disease germ 1t
is impossible to tell exactly how 1t is
killed off but 1t cannot live very long
with nothing on which to feed. Direc-
tor French insists this state should
err, If at all, on the side Of overcau-
ton.
AS illustrative of the Impotence of
people to break down the quarantine,
are the demands Of people to be al
lowed to bring pet stock like dogs or
birds into this state and Of people
with tent shows to ship in from the
infected area. Director French will
not permit these violations OF the
quarantine.

SCREENINGS GIVEN AWAY

Nearly 12,0OO,O 900 bushels of screen
ings were produced and hauled to
market by the spring wheat farmers
in four States in 1928, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
After the farmers had paid $675, 900
for threshing their screenings or
dockage 100000 was paid to the
railroads for hauling it to the ter
minal markets. Practically all of this
material was handled by grain deal
ers as a waste, which helped to re-
duce the price paid to the farmer.
The screenings, removed by clean
ers, sold for from So to SIP per ton
and were then ground up and ship
ped back to the farms as ready mix
ed feed. 1t is estimated that in this
way the grain farmers gave away
millions of dollars worth of feed
which should have been removed al
the farm and turned into gain in.
stead of a dead loss.
Spring-wheat farmers who cleaned
their market wheat on the farm il
