Livestock Does Not
Pollute Watershed

Since the beginning of 1925 live
stock has been excluded from the
range composing the watershed of
Mill Creek on the Umatilla National
Forest, as this creek contributes to
the water supply of the city of Walla
Walla.
This exclusion was made in COM
pliance with the request of city off
Gals, who feared pollution of the
water supply from the presence of
livestock on the range. This decision
was not acceptable to the stockmen
who previously held ranging permits,
so protests were filed.
Walla Walla being in Washington,
and the source of the water supply
in Oregon, the problem was an inter-
state affair, with jurisdiction conferred
in the federal government, so upon
the protest of the excluded stockmen,
backed by national livestock organiza-
lions, the case was referred to the
United States Public Health Service,
which directed DR.. H. D. Holman in
charge of it's northwest division, to
make an examination, and the follow
ing is taken from his report:
II. Tests of the water supply for
the year 1925, when livestock was ex-
cluded, differ but little from those of
1924 and 1928, when grazing was
practiced, and when the water
showed high degree of purity.
q. In the judgment of most SAM
tarians, domestic livestock does not
transmit water-borne diseases to
human beings, and the presence of
livestock on the watershed is there
lore not menace to the health of
The community.
SO. Unrestricted occupancy of the
watershed by human beings creates
the possibility of dangerous pollu-
ton, for which the exclusion of live
stock is no remedy.
a. Absolute safeguards against
contamination of drinking water are
provided only by filtration and chlor-
nation plants, such as the city of
Walla Walla is now operating"
DR.. Honman's decision is undoubt-
eddy victory for the rangemen and
will no doubt lead to the re-opening
of this range to grazing, if the Walla
Walla city authorities can be induced
10 release their contract with the
United States department restraining
the stockmen.

Nous the Time to
Syat the Fly
BY PROF. r. w. ATkESON,
Head of Dairying,
University Of Idaho.

Late in the year much publicity is
always given to the Swat the fly
idea. If people only realized that by
destroying natural breeding places at
this season and by killing the few
that appear first, they can do more
effective swatting than it will be
possible to do later in the summer,
the idea would get much better re-
suits.
Each year during the latter part of
the summer many inquiries from
farmers are received at the dairy
husbandry department, regarding fly
repellants or sprays. These repel
lants give only temporary relief and
do not materially reduce the number
of flies. Attempts to screen against
flies in dairy barns have also re-
suited unsatisfactory. In too many
cases the flies follow the COWS inside
and the screens act as method of
caging the pests in the barn rather
than a means of keeping them out
Many other schemes have been
tried to give COWS relief from the
torture caused by flies and to remove
this source of contamination where
milk products are handled, but no
measure, except destruction of nat
ural breeding places has proven ef-
fective.
have been on farms where the
cattle barn walls, milk utensils, lit
orally everything, was covered with
swarms, and control seemed impos-
sible. Other farms in the same COM
munity, not far distant, were COM
paratively free from the nuisance.
Such differences usually depend upon
general sanitary conditions around
the farm.
Flies breed in manure, especially
horse manure, and in all moist debris
such as old stack bottoms 1t re-
quires only an average Of 81 to 25
days for the fly to pass from the egg
to the adult stage and in some cases
it natures in as few as Ia days. II
the dairy farmer would be careful
to clean up thoroughly all manure
piles, scrape his barn lots, burn old
straw piles, and remove all other
possible breeding places, such as
Gil hn nf
would be greatly reduced. Lime
scattered around damp places which
have formerly been manure piles,
ETC., will tend to prevent use as
breeding grounds. Flies cannot breed
in dry places and 1t Is essential that
all debris be well scattered SO that
it will dry in summer.
No attempt is made to screen

Clallam Co. Farmers
Plan Weekly Luncheons

The first Of the weekly farmer
luncheons promoted by County Agent
Holland at Port Angeles, proved a
great success. Forty farmers sat
down together and pleasant and
profitable hour was spent. These
luncheons follow the example Of city
business men, where groups, In par
ticular callings, gather once week
for social time and to discuss some
Of the problems confronting their
business.
AS 1t Is almost necessary for farm
ers to go into town at least once a
week. this lunch Is an excellent idea
of Mr. Hollands, and the setting
aside of time for luncheon for Ger.
tain day of each week gives the
farmers an opportunity to arrange
their trips to town for that day.
Nothing will tend to bring the farm
ers closer together, or to solidify
their interests better than will this
weekly visiting around the luncheon
table.

Legion Trophy Conceded
To Idaho Department

INDIANAPOLIS West Vir-

gain over the year before. number
of cards from the Idaho department
were found to have reached Indian
apolis before midnight, February 20,
the final day for filing, but we're held
up in delivery, Legion officials said.
West Virginia regarded this as a
sound reason for claiming the trophy
when it was shown the disputed bal
lots would put Idaho ahead. Idaho's
gain to March 1 was 40 per cent and
West Virginia's 124.98.

$l2, 544,9O7 Paid AS
Bonus to Soldiers

OLYMPIA.-Total of $12,544.907
had been paid out as compensation to
veterans in settlement of 57,799
claims under the soldiers bonus act
at close of business April 80, at which
time the veterans compensation bu-
reau, operating under State Auditor
G. W. Clausen, wound up it's business,
and funds under appropriation ceased
to be available for further claims.
This will not, however, bar any just
claims for soldiers bonus, as one of
the bonus bureau experts will be re-
tanned permanently with the clerical
force of Auditor Clausen, and any sub
sequent claims will be handled to
point of final proof as heretofore, and
then relief appropriations be asked of
the legislature to provide the bonus
payment thereon.
In all 4,168 claims were disalloWed
and ninety-two are classed as pend
ing, although in most of these, all
track of the claimant was lost after
the application was made, and will
likely not be carried to final proof, it
is said. This makes the grand total
of 62. SOB for all claims presented.
In addition to the $12,544,907.31 paid
to the veterans as bonus, administra-
tion expense amounted to $114262.42;
capital outlay $5,380.50, while a pur-
chase of $4,000 of it's own bonds was
made from the compensation fund,
making total expenditures under the
bonus act of $12,679,55
