since 1900 the river has exceeded

greatest discharge on record was IN
1908 when the flow was 10000 feet

WHEAT PRACTICAL
LIVESTOCK FEED
Dr.. shepperd Of Agricultural
College Says Wheat Com
pares With Corn

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 27-Because
wheat is commonly too high in price
compared to other feeds to use for
livestock feed. many think it is not
good feed. That idea is a mistake,
according to DR.. j. H. Shepperd,
president Of North Dakota Agricul-
tural college and internationally
recognized livestock Judge.
"At the present prices of wheat
and corn. wheat is cheap enough to
use as feed. Wheat and corn are
about equal in feeding value, pound
for pound, but it takes 60 pounds of
wheat to make bushel and only 56
pounds of corn, difference of four
pounds in favor of wheat. This ex-
ira four pounds will just about pay
the cost of grinding the wheat" DR..
Shepperd says.
F. w. Christensen, professor of
animal nutrition, recommends that
the wheat be coarsely ground or
rolled before feeding to horses, cat
tie and hogs. Sheep apparently do
just as we'll on the whole grain as
on the ground wheat.

The experience gained in the han

business in Montana on the 1929
crop, but a few weeks ago A. H. Stat

Montana, in charge of farm storage,
and Farmers Union Terminal execu-
tives, conducted q school In Great
Falls at which inspectors from vari-
Gus counties, who had been selected
at county wide meetings by the farm
ers themselves, were trained as to
how to make farm storage loans.
Each of the states provides appli-
cation blanks for farm storage. The
farmer must fill out these blanks as
well as an application to the Farmers
Union Terminal association. The
bins then are inspected. samples Of
the grain taken and grades fixed by
the state officials, and the bin sealed.

DOCTORS

Good doctors are scarce every.
where. Country doctors are under
paid and overworked. Peekskill,
N. Y, physicians have agreed to
charge 81 for telephone consulta-
tions. If advice on how to treat a
cold is worth telephoning for it is
certainly worth a dollar. In Eng
land the fees of rural physicians are
fixed by the Government. We may
come to that in America. The fees
must be high enough, however, to
encourage well trained young doc
tors to settle in small towns and to
stay there.
Several Eastern towns where doc
tors have failed to make a living
have agreed to pay a salary out of
public funds to a good doctor, for
public health work, which still
leaves him time to engage in gen.
eral practice. That way of insur-
ing doctor a living and at the
same time safeguarding the public
health is sound, American method
and should be more generally
adopted, as it will be.

AtHAgain

The recent attemp to form a taxpayers protect
i've organization smacks considerable of mining COM
pany control-so much so that the Maricopa dele
CATION representing the agricultural interests walk
ed out of the meeting openly declaring it had been
"packed' by the mining interests.
It would seem that the big mining companies of
the state who had paid their just share of the
tax burden, are at it again, in attempt to have
the burden shifted little more onto the backs of
the smaller taxpayers
The muddying of the waters by few newspa-
pers who are known to be owned controlled by
the mining companies, with their hoWls of "tax
survey board, protective associations" and like eX-
pressions, is only effort to divert the mind of
the smaller taxpayer from the true subject.
The minig companies have been responsible for
much tax legislation in Arizona since statehood most
of which has redounded to their benefit at the ex-
pense OF others who do pay taxes a equit-
able valuation on their property.
The mine tax bill, which was fought down in
the legislature in 1912 and again in 1915 might just
we'll have been made into law because the same
method of taxation which would have been used un-
der the mine tax law, used by the State Tax
Commission which adopted practically the same
method as provide for in the mine tax law.
We agree that Arizona does need some kind of
revision of the tax laws but in every move there ap.
pears the fine hand of the mining companies, who
are interested for purpose.
Some day the mass of taxpayers they who pay
