TALK ON CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS
WILL BE BROADCASTED
continued from 1rst pageJ

continued from nrSL pageJ
Husbandry of the New York State
Department of Farms and Markets,
will be the speaker.
DR.. Faulder has charge of the
states campaign for the eradication
of bovine tuberculosis, fight which
is regarded so important for the
public health. Authorities now hold
that bovine bacillus may enter the
systems of children and as the years
pass undergo change into the human
bacillus resulting in later years in
tuberculosis. This fight by DR.. Faul-
der is not only important as
health measure but it is of great
importance from an economic stand
point since the losses in cattle re-
sulting from the disease are enor-
nous. DR.. Faulder has been success
full in establishing the area system
of testing cattle. Under this plan all
of the cattle in a given district are
given the tuberculin test and then
only tested cattle are allowed within
the area.

MAKE COW PAY YOU WAGES

spent on each of their COWS. The
two lots of COWS bringing home the
fattest pay envelopes were better
bred than the others, although the
right kind of feed and better care
would have done much toward max
ing the others profitable employees.
The amount of milk produced annu-
ally by each of the COWS was found
to have a direct relation to the num-
ber of hours of labor and the care
which they received, in each in
stance the animals with better care
producing the greatest income.
1t is a costly error for the farmer
who uses family labor to assume
that whatever the cow produces is
all to the good, according to the In
stitute. He should not be satisfied
until his careful record keeping in
dicates that he is receiving at least
current wages for his efforts. The
record will further point out to him
the improbable members of his
herd, and these he should aim to re-
place with animals that will pro-
duce on an average of $50 to 325
pounds of butterfat each year. With
the nOn-prOducers cut out and the
good stock left put on balanced ra-
tiOns and given proper care, there
will be no reason why the farmer
should not receive full pay enve-
lope from each COW in his dairy
herd.

as boats are concerned.
Preparations have been made for
any emergency which may arise if
the landslides are serious or last any
great length of time, according to
Colonel Brown. A fleet of dredges
Immediately will be rushed into the
canal to dig out the channel without
delay.
In the meantime there have been
dozens of inquiries from interested
shippers and from steamship COM
panies about the opening of the
canal.
The Ericsson Line, which now Op-
crates steamships through from
Philadelphia to Baltimore, recently
made a contract for two new pala-
tial steamships to be placed on that
run when the canal is opened, and
other plans are in course of con-
summation.
The work of dredging out. the
canal has been substantially COM
pleted by the removal of approx
mately 100000 cubic yards of
earth. There still remains a small
amount of dredging to be done at
st. Georges and Chesapeake City
and at two bridges which cross the
canal at Deep Cut and Summit Cut.
! Four steel highway bridges and
one railroad bridge across the wa
terway are now being rushed to
completion. The st. Georges and
Chesapeake City bridges are virtu-
ally finished and the steel work on
the others has been started.
While the new canal and long
chain of which it is part are built
primarily for the commerce of peace
times, the Government engineers are
also making the proposition one
which will dovetail perfectly into a
plan of coast defense.
/ Colonel Brown pointed out that
scores of forts, arsenals, powder
plants, navy yards and shipbuilding
plants are along the long inland
water route. He explained that
through the canals a great defense
fleet from all ports along the coast
could concentrate at one point if
necessary, to repel an enemy with
out sailing along an exposed ocean
route.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-King George
and Queen Mary have just moved
into Sandringham House, the Nor
folk estate of the Windsor family,
which has become the personal
property of the sovereign by the will
of Queen Alexandra.
Sandringham is now the only one
of the many properties visited each
year by their Majesties, which is
owned by the King and not by the
state. King Edward bought the
country mansion when he was Prince
of Wales and willed it to his queen.
Sandringham was the favorite resi-
dence of King Edward and Queen
Alexandra, as it is with the present
sovereigns. At Buckingham Palace,
Hollywood Palace, Balmoral and
Windsor Castles, the Royal family
must hoist their standard above the
roof and live in the luxury which
the state provides, but at Sandring-

new RULING In
MARRIAGE LAW
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES
DECISION I'm GEORGIA
YESTERDAY
fBx Associated Pressl

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 19.-Hun-
dreds of couples in Georgia are at
fected by decision rendered yester-
day by Attorney General George NJ.
Napier to the effect that marriages
performed in other states in avoid
anee of Georgia's marriage laws are
voidable.
A law passed by the Georgia As
sembly in 1924 provides that notice
of five days, except in certain cases,
shall be given by couples intending
to marry, before a marriage license
can be issued. The purposes of the
law, as stated on the floors of the
legislature by its proponents, was to
reduce the number of marriages by
minors
Following passage of the act,
counties in South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Florida and Alabama have reap
ed a harvest from couples clipping
to get away from the five day notice
law.
Mr.. Napier ruled that where
couples leave the state to wed with
the express intention of avoiding the
Georgia law, the marriage is void
able He pointed out that the SUI
preme court of Georgia has refused
to recognize the laws of other states
in regard to marriages where they
conflict with Georgia laws.
The ruling by the attorney general
was made at the request of the or
binary of Chatham county, the officer
issuing marriage licenses. The re-
cent elopement of a minor couple is
said to have been the cause of the
request for the ruling.
