Active Fight Waged
on Bots and Worms
Illinois Farmers Organize
to Conduct "Drive." +"

More than half of the 1000 farm
ers in Woodford county are having
their horses and mules treated for
internal parasites, such as bots and
worms, in the statewide compaign
which the College of Agriculture,
University of Illinois, and cooper
ating agencies are conducting to re-
store horse power, according to
report by Farm Adviser H. A. de-
Werff. There are about $500 horses
and 625 mules on farms of the
county.
Local veterinarians who are CO.
operating with the college and
Farm Adviser deWerff are conduct
Ing an organized cleanup in practi-
cally every township of the coun-
ty. Liquid carbon disulphide is be-
ing used in the treatment, this ma
terial having proved most effective
in preliminary tests made by the
college.

free from parasites of one kind or
another. Although the injury often
is unnoticed, the loss in feed bills

a period of years than an attack of

Ration for Lambs

Corn and wheat have about the
same feeding value in a ration for
lambs. Alfalfa hay as feed to
lambs produced gains at about 10
per cent less per 100 pounds than
sudan hay.
Bearing out the results obtained
from similar trials last year, lambs
fed cut alfalfa hay made faster and
cheaper gains than those fed whole
alfalfa. There was no appreciable
difference in the results obtained
from feeding sudan hay ground and
whole. These are the results of
Oklahoma lamb-feeding trials.-Suc-

The statement points out that
promoters of these fake schemes

of unclaimed estates are left on de-

memorandum observes. "This in

claimed property"
In general. the consulate general
statement advises all persons con-
templating such action to consult
expert legal opinion first. And 1t
warns that even If unimpeachable
evidence of genealogical claims Is
furnished, the probability is that
the estate will prove too small to
pay for the suit, even in the event
of success.

Potatoes in the Ration

Potatoes may furnish half of the
dry matter in the ration for cattle
and sheep, and one-fourth for
horses. Dairy cows should not re-
ceive more than thirty-fve pounds
per day, as larger amounts may i'm
pair the quality of butter produced.
For fattening sheep, from two to
three pounds daily may be fed with
the grain. For cattle and sheep
feeding, the potatoes should be
chopped and mixed with the grain.
For cattle and sheep, potatoes
should be fed raw and may be fed
raw to hogs, particularly brood
sows, if time and labor cannot be
spared for cooking.

The loyeliest forms of life naturally

times is almost startling TO see
light blue eyes looking out of deeply

Denotes Preciousness

The original application of the
phrase "apple of the eye" is not
clear, some supposing it to be per-
version of pupil of the eye," and
others adhering to the theory that
it originated in the notion that the
pupil of the eyes is a round solid
ball like an apple. At any rate
'the apple of the eye" is the SYM
bol of that which is cherished and
most precious. The expression re-
fers to anything extremely dear,
greatly beloved or highly valued. 1t
is very old and occurs number of
times in the King James version of
the Bible.-Pathfnder Magazine.

Recently we met Daniel Howley,
who spends his summers managing

sponded Mr.. Howley. whose equa-

Mythical Fortunes in Eng

LondOn.-The biggest piece of in
ternational bait ever dangled before
suckers AT home or abroad still finds
poor FISH who swallow the hook, the
line. and the sinker. It's that old
morsel-the ancestral estate in Eng
land.

into buying shares in such ventures

Another warning has just been
issued by the American consulate

We have, on various occasions,
gone so far as to discuss the mat
ter of diet. No man or woman in
the world is difficult to talk to If
you start one of three or four sub
jects. Just mention operation in
general, sinus trouble or diet, and
both strong, silent persons and bash
full. inarticulate persons become as
babbling brooks. The question of
diet loosens the tongue beyond the
power of strong drink. Everyone
either has tried or thought of try
Ing some diet and is anxious TO dis
cuss it. Moreover, everyone is tanat-
ical in his desire to convert you TO
the particular diet he happens to IA
vor Diet, after all, is a simple
matter. All you have to do is to
stop eating everything you like.
To be sure, there are some who
favor the exercise method. This
is as bad, or worse. Prof. Artie Nc
Govern, for instance, likes to get
some dignified citizen extended on
a hardwood floor and then induce
him to take long imaginary rides on
a phantom bicycle. 1t certainly is
a silly looking pastime. Prof. vii
liam Muldoon used to get unsuspect
ing clients, miles from food and
shelter. on horseback and then re-
move the horse. Prof. William
Brown has many of the same ideas.

BOY SCOUTS TO
LEND ASSISTANCE
affair GROUNDS

Trees, beautiful IN themselves
and particularly valuable to I'M
perial Valley in affording refresh
ing shade and coolness during the
warm weather, are a welcome addi-
ton To the county.
With this thought in mind and
in connection with the national
tree planting celebration honor
ing the Washington bicentennial,
Scouts in the Imperial-Yuma coun-
Gil are planning a big tree
planting ceremony, February 13, at
10 a. m. at the county fair.
Thirty five Chinese ehns, one for
every troop in the council, will be
planted on the west side of the
fair grounds by the Scouts, appro-
pirate ceremonies being arranged.
The tree planting will be pre-
ceded by a gigantic mobilization of
Scouts, every Scout in the valley
meeting at the fair grounds at a
certain specified time. In full uni
form, the boys will parade i'm
pressively into the grounds to be-
gin their ceremony. M. H. Davis
of San Diego, assistant supervisor
of the Cleveland national forest,
will be distinguished visitor who
will aid the Scouts in their cele-
bration.
Scouts will live up to their
motto, a good deed each day, by
being active workers at the fair.
A regular staff of five Scouts will
be on hand each day to act as mes
sengers, run errands and to assist
in any way possible. The number
will be increased to 25 on special
days.
In addition to the above, the
Scouts, under H. E. Lounsbury
Scout executive, will have a dis
play at the fair which will show
the work of the council in its many
phases.
Special displays by Sea Scouts
the new division of Scouting de-
signed for older boys, will be fea-
tured as will be displays showing

color scheme of two shades of
green which made an excellent
background and which displayed
the many attractive articles to
great advantage, the space allotted
to the domestic arts division has
been SO arranged to secure the most
favorable arrangement of the eX-

Large panels have peen con-

of handwork will be placed on ex-
hibition. Lovely quilts, both those
of our grandmothers' day and their
modern counterpart, colorful rugs,
beautiful laces and exquisite en-
broideries, knit and crochet work
will be arranged in these panels.
Many attractive articles along
the line of arts and crafts work
will be entered; hand painted china
is to be a feature as we'll as hand
made shades and other bits of

IDEAS FROM AN
 OLD FASHIONED AMERICAN TO THE NEW

Editor, The Alaskan:
 When a man is wrong in his past opinions and comes to see the error of his way, the best thing he can do is to admit his fault and strive to correct it. This is the task I have before me. It is not going to be an easy task, but it must be done. I have always opposed the southeastern Alaska pulp sales as a dastardly betrayal of Alaska and the con- fidence of the American people. I have recently seen the light and will do what I can, in this letter, to rectify my past indis- ccetion.
 R. Y. Stuart, one of the men, or rather the man most qualified to know what it is all about is making a valiant attempt, in an article published in the Seward Gateway" to justify the south eastern Alaska pulp sales. His article is we'll worth the reading

whenever man naQ an ldea, ne was at liberty to go right ahead and try it out. Ideas were plenti- ful, some of them worked, more did not, some made money, others went broke. My dad got married on the strength of his prospects from forty acres of spuds and then had to dump his produce in the bay. Grandad had two thousand acres of val icy land and was land poor when he died. Twenty years later dad bought a quarter section of this same land and paid one hundred and fifty dollars an acre and sold it a year later for two hundred. Today it is worth two thousand.
 AS a kid I went to school with a bunch of red readed Irish wildcats named O'Hara-ten or twelve of them. Their dad was a crazy mutt and a working fool he had a bunch of sand land out in the chaparrel country and a six horse team of mustangs not much larger than jackrabbits.
 The harness was mostly baling wire. He used this outfit and a light two horse wagon to cart live oak wood into town to trade for grub. Feeding his numerous brood kept him pretty we'll oc- cupied but every spare moment he had, he put in yanking the greaSebrush out of the sand. The sand was so loose and clean that a child could scoop out a hole to arms depth without trouble. I often visited the o. Hara kids and playing in the sand was our principle amuse- ment. O'Hara planted almond trees where he yanked the brush out. His neighbors laughed at him-called him Crazy O'Hara. ," When he died a few years ago
 his estate was appraised at three million.
 I saw a good portion of Cali tornla before it was improved or rather ruined in the eyes of Iconservationests by the unon- structed advent of people; I strayed to southeastern Alaska tWenty-three years ago and was so much impressed with the pO- tential possibilities of this coun- try that I could not be induled tn leave.
