no new diseased herds have been
found since. Because of the highly
infectious nature of foot and mouth
disease, the absence of new cases for
period even as long as a week is
considered favorable evidence of era
dication. In still two other counties
nearly week has passed without new
infection.
The remaining counties now con-
stitute an active "battle ground" in
which State and Federal inspectors
are exerting the utmost efforts to
suppress the foreign plague. There
was only one herd of diseased cattle,
numbering 46 animals, on hand May
27. AS fast as diseased herds are
found they are quickly appraised,
slaughtered, and buried, all these
operations occurring generally within
48 hours.
Weather Conditions Favorable
Hot, dry weather and bright sun
light are considered highly favorable
agencies in reducing the vitality OF
the virus on pastures and premises;
sunlight is particularly effective as
a disinfec6ant. With season ahead
in which the longest hours of day
light occur, veterinary officials of the
United States Department of Agrl-
culture regard conditions extremely
favorable for suppressing the disease
in the counties still affected.
Slaughter Method Proves It's Value.
Owing to the highly infectious ma
ture of the virus of foot and-mouth
disease, department officials have
conducted no scientific experiments
with it, although they have studied
the research work which has been
done in foreign countries for nearly
200 years. The difficulty of keeping
the infection out of Control" animals
has made experiments everywhere
extremely hazardous, and research
work has produced no satisfactory
practical method of control, aside
from the slaughter method.
Meanwhile this slaughter policy,
which is known to be effective, is be-
ing continued. Steam shovels, dy-
Mantle, and other rapid means of dig
cling trenches for the burial of diseas-
ed herds are in use. Inspectors work
long hours to control the disease
so that CALIFORNIA; livestock and
agricultural industries will be restor-
ed to a normal basis at the earliest
possible date.

FERTILE EGGS CAUSE LOSS
TO FARMERS EVERY SUMMER

A large part of the loss caused by
eggs spelling in warm weather can
be prevented by producing only in
fertile eggs during the late spring
and summer. This loss, which is con-
servatively estimated at mole than
$15,000,000 a year, falls almost en-
tirely on the producer. Not only does
he lose the value of the eggs which
spoil, but the producer suffers a fur
ther loss in the reduction of the num-
Der of eggs consumed caused by peo-
pie getting bad eggs among those
they purchase.
This loss can be entirely prevented
by producing only infertile eggs dur
ing warm weather. This is accomp-
lished by taking all male birds out
of the flock after the breeding season
is over. The rooster has no influence
on the number of eggs produced, and
should either be marketed or killed
the meat can be canned-or he should
be kept penned up.

ready for market about July Is. Only
IS acres of the melons were planted
last year, largely for experimental
purposes.
The meat of the new honey melon
is similar in texture to that of the
Honey Dew, liz inches thick, and is
covered by smooth, thin rind, fairly
well netted. The chief merits of the
melon are its shipping qualities and
flavor. Shipments can be made with

DESERTERS HAVE
RIGHTS RESTORED

WASHINGTON, March Pres
ident Coolidge by proclamation to-
day restored the right of Ameri-
can citizenship to all deserters from
the army and navy during the three
year period between the armistice
and the formal ending Of the world
war.
The proclamation issud upon
the recommendation of Secretaries
DENLY and Weeks affcts in no wise
those who deserted in the face of
the enemy or at any time before
the armistice, and does not remit
or commute the coUrtmartial penal
ties of those who deserted after the
armistice and prior to the technical
ending of the war.
The president acted to clear up
a situation whereby under the law
those who deserted after the fight
ing ceased suffered the same loss Of
citizenship as those who left the
military forces during the war pro-
secution. The war was actually over
on November II, 1918, but all who
deserted after that date and before
the last proclamation of peace, No
vember II, 1921, were deemed I'M

linquished and forfeited the rights

he declared. due to the period of

While Mr.. Sapp was optimistic
over the outlook for this seasons
crop of peaches, he sounded warn

on their fight to control curculio,

The best way to make a good
