Animal Facts

The "spadefoot" toad lives in the
marshy land east of the Appalachian
Mountains. He's ''spadefoot" because
inner bones OF his ankles are covered
with a sharp. horny sheath, a first
class tool for digging. He's also noted
for his extra loud. clear song in the
spring. "Spadefoot" hides by day and
hunts by night.

The states hardest hit by the rural
depression have from the first been
those OF the near northwest with
Montana and the Dakotas the center
OF the strain. As long as only indi-
vidual farmers. ranchmen and mer-
chants were going to the wall, the ma
tional policy OF hands off agriculture
prevailed. A sudden change now takes
place.
The predicted cracking of the f.
nancial machinery of this section un-

stance OF a moratorium is to be ar
ranged, a funding of the farmers
debts and extensions OF credit to save
tottering banks. Extensions OF credit
to enable wheat farmers to go into
dairying and other lines of agricul-
ture are recommended.
This will give temporary relief.
But it will leave the farmers and
ranchers as heavily in debt as before.
They cannot pay those debts with live
stock and grain sold at present prices.

Values OF the crop remaining ia the

weather and less feeding livestock
than usual probably viii result IN
much hay remaining uuied.
For FIVE years now the situation
has been as il is this winter. For
five years the price OF hay las been
set in the fall at a fairly high price
and the spring has seen that price
dwindlc away while the hay remained
unsold.
crhaps another year it might be
advisable to reverse the process. Why
not make the fall price OF hay at
t~raciive enough to bring large hocks

is an ideal feeding country. But lower
prices in the upper Snake river val
ley have taken large hocks OF sheep
to that territory each fall.
Here we start with fair hay prices
in the fall and no price in the spring
Let's try once TO see whether low
prices in the fall may not attract
livestock feeders here. That meth
Cd might pave the way for higher
prices for hay and should dis
pose of the years crop.

Q. Can you furnish me a list OF

a County Manager To what extent
is this form OF county management
used, and is il a success?
A. There is no county management
in North Carolina, nor so far as in
vestigations disclose, anywhere else in
the United States. The Legislature
OF Montana has recently made it pos
sibIe for its counties to adopt the
system and the matter is now up in
Silver Bow county, which contains
the city Of Butte. Steps were taken
in the direction OF county management
in Westminster county, new York. but
they were faltering and failing foot
steps. A similar attempt was made
in Maryland to-include the county
in which Baltimore is located. But
it did not go through. Alameda coun-
ty and Los Angeles county. California,
were bitten by the County Manager
but they did not carry it
through. A cursory investigation OF
this subject following the receipt OF
the above interesting question dis
the fact that students and ad-
OF civic and political improve
nents regard the structure OF county
governments as "ramshackle." and one
Of the Suggestions for improvement
has been to adopt the county manager
who would function in about the same |
fay as city managers are now doing.
The claim that the present form OF
government is not democratic
it is in the hands of the chos-
N few seems TO be rather inconsist-
'ntly met with a cure-all that would
reduce the management to
individual. The form OF county
commissioners. usually made up OF
hree officials is quite common thru
the United States. Many states
nd counties prefer it to county
'oards OF supervisors. even though
the standpoint OF numbers it is
ess democratic than the supervisor
