Sheep Laurel Perib Stock.

TIME early Springtime, just before the grass
begins to grow is one of the most
dangerous times to herbaceous animals
- which feed at large for often they fall
victim of the sheep laurel or mountain laurel,
which is highly poisonous to live stock and
game.
With the pickings few and far between the
animals sometimes in their hunger seize
eagerly upon the green leaves of the laurel, with
frequently fatal results.
Cattle, sheep and goats among the domestic
animals are susceptible to the laurel poison,
but are seldom victims as they will not touch
the laurel if other feed is at hand.
Linseed oil has been found to be one of the
best remedies for stricken animals. Castor oil
and lard, purgatives, emetics and balls of butter
have also been found effective, the grease and
oil being particularly successful as treatments.

Land for Agriculture

THE whole question of agriculture should be
considered from the viewpoint of the
500 0000 600 available for agriculture in this
country in the opinion of DR.. Henry G. Knight,
chief of the Bureau Of Chemistry and Soils.
Erosion, fertility adaptability and the future
welfare of the generations to come should all be
considered, in his opinion, in laying down the
broad policies vital if this country is to continue
independent of foreign sources for its food.
Outlying and rainwash alone have destroyed
more farm land in this country than the entire
arabic land of Japan. The making of gullieS
is a serious problem, yet one which can be
controlled by mechanical methods, such as
terracing supplying of proper drainage and
planting of trees to protect the watershed and
prevent the destructive sweep of heavy rains on
barren hillsides.
A proper land policy would take into con-
sideration the question of the crops best
adapted to any particular area. Sections that
make ideal pasture land, for instance might be
profitable only as pasture land and should be
so developed other areas might be found to
be suitable only for forest production These
problems are the ones which DR. knight be-
neves must be solved, and adherence to the
results OF the findings essential to
prosperity.
Nearly million acres of the farming land
Of this country are so-called marginal lands,
which damage the whole agricultural structure
of the country. They are the sections which In
times Of good crops swell the crop to bumper
proportions and depress prices. In drought
times, such as the past year developed, these
same areas produce little or nothing and bring
about acute distress. They are in the feast
or famine" class. Putting these acres to work
on a year in and year out productive basis is
one of the accomplishments toward which the
Department Of Agriculture is bending its efforts.
