Investment Men Plan
Fight on Power Bill

SPOKANE.-War on the Bone pub
lie power bill was officially declared
here by the Pacific Northwest Divi-
sion of the Investment Bankers of
American by adoption Of a resolution
which declared the bill mot in the
best interest of the state" Passage
Of the resolution came in the closing
session of the annual spring conven-
ton over which r. H. McMichael of
Seattle presided.
The action followed the reading of
a letter from William Hatch Davis of
the Washington State Bankers AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. McMichael said: "a
similar bill was defeated in Califor-
mia, largely because Of the opposition
Of the investment bankers. The Bone
Erickson bill is as bad as the Califor-
MIA bill"
A. S. Blum Of Spokane offered the
resolution opposing the bill, supple
menting his remarks with state
ment that the association had opposed
the Erickson bill.
McMichaeTs suggestions that mem
bers Of the organization write letters
for statewide circulation on the bill,
and throw their mailing lists open to
circulation of such letters, met with
the approval of the bankers.

Washington Held to
Lead in Water Power

WASHINGTON-"W coal" has
possibilities Of future development In
the United States eight times its pres
ent development, the geological sur
yer announced in a statement on
developed and potential water power
Of the country.
The present installed capacity OF
100 horsepower or more is 9,087,000
horsepower, an increase Of about l..
100000 horsepower, or nearly Is per
cent, over 1921.
The country's water resources were
roughly estimated at 72,000,000 horse
power.
In its new estimate of potential wa.
ter power resources the survey placed
Washington first among the states for
power available, with 7,871,000 horse
power. Washington is closely pressed
by Oregon, California and New York.
New York Is the leading state in de.
veloped water power.

Business Recession
Slight, Says Hoover

WASHINGTON.-There is no eco
nom1c reason for the recent business
recession, Secretary Hoover said
blaming the condition on the cutting
down of inventories which caused
some unemployment. The recession
was only slight, he said, and general
production in the country has not
been seriously affected.
Business in the country today is
moving by fits and STARTS" Secretary
Hoover said, land just at present ii

SHEEP TICKS

"Tom, what ails our sheep? They
rutland scratch themselves on trees,
posts and buildings and their wool Is
beginning to loosen up and fall off,
They are looking thinner every day.
The lambs look the same way"
Tom was Of the opinion that they
ought to catch sheep or two and
give them the "once over" AS he ex-
pected, they found that the ewes and
lambs were covered with numerous
ticks busily using their sucking appa
ratus. eff each one of those ticks
sucks drop or so each day, how
much blood will hundred ticks dr. in
from each eve over winter" thought
Tom.
"This tick explains the loss Of wool
and the poorer condition of the flock.
They are losing so much blood that
they are going down in flesh, causing
their wool to fall off. As soon as they
are shorn every tick will probably
leave the ewes, and gather on the
lambs"
S,.sow, the little tick Is really not a
80 at all, solIs MS a ktad of wingless
fly. 1t has six legs, while tick has
light legs; nevertheless they call them
ticks and they are found on the wool
and skin of sheep.
These insects are reddish or gray
brown in color, average quarter of
an inch in length and work hard all
the time. The egg Of the sheep tick
is retained in the body Of the female
until it develops into larva, when il
is deposited and attached to the wool
Of the sheep by a glue-like substance
1t takes young tick batween 10 and
"a days to develop.
These enemies of our wool crop may
be conquered by dipping the sheep in
either coal-tar creosote, cresol or nico
tine dips. Where there are number
of farm focks nearby community
dipping vat may be constructed ant
used comparatively.

Congress Passes Bill
To Preserve Fisherie:

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The Alas.
kan fisheries bill, urged by President
Coolidge and Secretary Hoover as
necessary to save the salmon industry
from destruction, was passed by the
Senate. 1t previously had been ap
proved by the House and provides au
thority for the Department of Com
merce to establish closed areas In AL
askan fishing waters and to enforce
other measures designed to conserve
the fish as food supply.
Passage Of the measure was marke:
by sharp debate during which Secre
tary Hooyer's Alaskan policy was as
sailed.
"The passing of the Alaskan fish
cries conservation bill by the Sen
ate," Hoover said, practically as
sures the most important step vel
accomplished in the preservation OF
our sea fisheries"

ROUND WORMS IN HOGS

Brood sows having the run of old
lots used by hogs for a number of
years often infect their newly far
roWed pigs with stomach worms the
first time the pigs nurse, unless GER
tain sanitary precautions are taken.
Stomach worms cause general I'M
thriftiness, scours, coughing, pneumo-
mia, "thumps," and the like, in the
small pigs, all of which cause heavy
death losses and prevent rapid gains.
The mature worms are often seen in
the feces being six to ten inches in
length. They are round, smooth and
Of watery white color. One period of
the worms life is spent in the air
passages of the lung.
Preventing the worms from gaining
access to the pigs until they are four
months of age or older is the most
satisfactory treatment. The quarters
Of the sow about to farrow should be
thoroughly cleaned and secured out
with boiling water and lye. If port
able hog house is in use, it should be
moved to clean surroundings.
BY carefully washing the sow's nd.
der with warm water and soap, fol
lowed by disinfectant, the danger Of
communicating the newly narrowed
pigs is greatly lessened. The sow and
her litter should be kept entirely away
from old hog lots and pasture and on
clean fresh ground.
Sanitary surroundings and fresh
pastures are the best methods Of con-
troll in the pigs. Practically all old
hogs have stomach worms, but being
mature, they are not apparently af-
fected to any great extent by them.

but he is satisfied that It is worth much
more than it costs Estimates of feed
saved will vary from 10 to so4o depend
ing on the location of the feed yard and
the season of the year The amount of
loss is probably in direct proportion to
the depth of the mud in the feed lot
Two years ago visited the farm of a
prominent farmer in Lyons County, Iowa,
and seeing concrete feeding floor along
one side of his hog house, l asked him
what it was worth TO him. After few
moments of mental arithmetic, he replied
he would not take "a dollar an acre for
it." On further questioning found that
he meant it was worth more than $500
a year to him or one dollar on every
acre in his 100 acre farm. His floor was
16 feet wide by 50 feet long and had cost
a mere trifle. 1t would easily accom-
modate 50 fattening hogs.
Last fall he states, 81 was feeding a
carload of shoats. 1t started to rain and
before long could not find place in
my hog lot, on which to feed them, al
though changed the feeding place a
number of times. | finally got tired
carrying corn all over the place and
seeing it trampled in the mud so built
the floor you see there"
Thousands of feeding floors have been
built in the last few years. In most cases

do the job themselves as feeding floor is

Mr.. Penrose was the same, yet diff
ferent in an elusive way that Mr. Gone
could not define exactly. There was
an air about him which on the spur
of the moment he might have called
"brigandish"-the way he wore his
hat, a slight swagger, something
lawless that surely he never had &C.
quired in his peach orchard in Della

hand across the counter Mr.. Gone no
ticed that he was wearing a leather
bracelet.
AS they greeted each other like re-
united brothers, there was nothing In
the manner of either to indicate that
they had parted on any but the hap
piest terms, though Mr.. Penrose's gaze
wavered for an instant when he
asked
"Is my room ready?"
Since the day before yesterday"
replied Mr.. Gone, turning to the key
rack. Then generously:
What kind of a summer did you
have? / trust, q pleasant one"
Mr.. Penrose's faded eyes grew lu
minous. His voice quavsred with eager
enthusiasm as he ignored the efforts
of the bellboy to draw his attention

his room for him.

There is another point that cannot
stress too much that is using good water
when mixing concrete. If the water is
fit for drinking purposes, it is fit for
using in concrete-otherwisc do not use
it as there is likely to be reaction that
will weaken whatever you may be build
ing.
If | were building feeding floor /
would make it in. thick placing the
full thickness at ono time and using the
same mixture throughout. A wood float
should be used for finishing as it pro-
duces smooth surface, yet one that is
gritty enough to furnish good foothold
for the hogs in slippery weather.
, After the concrete has hardened sew
eral hours, it is good plan to cover
it with several inches Of damp earth and
keep this covering on for a week or ten
days. The earth should be kept moist
by sprinkling Such a covering prevents
concrete from being dried out by the sun
and wind and allows it to harden prop
erly. 1t is a good plan to make the floor
, in sections from to 10 it. square so as
to provide expansion and contraction
joints. By dividing the floor in sections
this way, it is easier to construct For
forms, 2-by-4's set on edge and held in
place by stakes are suitable.
