Rail Board Against

HELENA.-The state railroad and

the interstate commerce commits
sion not to grant the request of rail
roads operating in Montana for an
extension in recently increased coal
rates.
Increases ranging from three to
ID cents per ton on coal were grant

ago and are to expire December 81,

BY a decided vote of the Farm

welcome competitors and that the
exhibit should be an affair in which

part.
Last week letters were sent to
farmers in the surrounding territory
asking them to lay aside their dis
plays of field and golden crops, their
fancy work and canned goods. They
were asked to begin to plan their
baked goods and other exhibit ma
terial, a full list of which will ap-
pear in the Western News for next

some fowls by DR. c. J. Martin was
one OF the features OF the fair. 1t

Joughin, and will occupy a large

SINCE in many of our own States,
particularly those bordering on
the Great Lakes, the majority of school
children are afflicted with goitre, the
importance of some work along this
line, of a nutritional nature. becomes
apparent. Here again the technology
cal experts of the Bureau of Fisheries
came forward with interesting and
valuable. information with regard to
sea food and its effect upon the health
of man. They pointed out that the
sea has for ages been collecting the
minerals which have been leached
from the land. Rains and melted
SHOWS and ice have since time i'm
memorial been teaching away the
soluble salts of iodine from the soil
and carrying them away to the sea,
until in many areas today the soil is
practically depleted Of this important
mineral Iodine content of the soil,
for instance, is very low in the Great
Lakes region of the United States, ex-
tending eastward to New York, south
into Kentucky and Missouri and west
ward to the Pacific Coast. Aid be-
cause the plants cannot contain what
the soil does not furnish, the snimals
feeding upon those plants do not OBJ
tain necessary iodine.
This leaves the sea as the great pro-
wider of iodine for the human race
dwelling in these goitrous regions. The
sea contains most OF the iodine that
was originally distributed on the sur
face of the soil, and it Is from this
great storehouse that the Bureau Of
Fisheries asks us to utilize available
foods. Plants and organisms that
grow in the sea- they state, are able to

1890, the first year of the great de-

gists of the Fisheries Bureau have
made important contribution is in
ascertaining the iodine content of
fishery products and their application
to the treatment or prevention of
goitre.
Simple goitre is one of, the oldest
diseases known to mankind and re.
cords as far back as 5000 B. c. indi-
cate that the disease was prevalent
and was treated by the Chinese by
feeding the afflicted with thyroid sub
stances from animals, and also with
the ashes of certain marine products
such as seaweeds and sponges
Physicians have long known that there
is connection between goitre and
iodine and that goitrous conditions are
apparent in those sections of the
world where iodine is not available.
And since the greatest source of iodine
today is the sea, inland sections are
found to suffer most.
Coindet physician in Geneva, first
suggested, in 1920, that the beneficial
effects of marine products on goitre
might be traced to their iodine con-
tent, and he effected the disappearance
of goitres in certain of his patients,
by administering tincture OF iodine
Later, Chatin, a professor of pharmacy
in Paris, made extensive analyses of
food and water from different locali-
ties and concluded that soitre was
prevalent when the diet of mankind
contained an inadequate amount Of
iodine. In the public schools of
Akron, Ohio, 10 years later, Marine
and Kimball showed that goitre could
be prevented and frequently cured by
treatment with small amounts Of
iodine.

Of the fisheries have been the food
products for human nutrition
through the efforts of Government
scientists in the Bureau of Fisheries
additional industries are developing OF
real economic importance through the
utilization of by-products, prepared
from the waste of the fish-food in
dustries. Out of such material, hith-
erto discarded or little utilized. un-
surpassed feedstuffs for farm animals
are today being manufactured.
While in early times the household
dog or tribal cat undoubtedly enjoyed
the head. tails and viscera of the
fish. as agriculture developed, the sol
also received at an early date its share
Of such waste. In fact, as DR.. Man.
ming points out, when Squanto. the
friendly Indian ally of the Pilgrims
in 1921, according to Gov. Bradley
showed the first settlers how to use
fish as fertilizer in planting corn
he indicated primitive appreciation
Of the value Of marine products as
food for the soil. Later, in 1901, Ezra
L'Hommedieu, Long Island land
owner. published the results of his
experience in the use of whole men,
haden fish as fertilizer.
From such beginnings grew the
fishery by-products industries, from
fertilizer to animal feeds Today
there is growing in this country,
largely due to the experimental work
of Government scientists, an increas-
ingly important by-products industry
the manufacture Of fish meal.
THESE meals are manufactured
from the waste or inedible parts
of fish and shellfish accommodating IN
large quantities at various concentra-
ton points of our fisheries industries.
Some fish meals, such as the menha-
den, are produced from whole inedible
fish. If the fish or fish waste con-
tains much oil, it Is both cooked and
pressed and the remaining so-called
green scrap" is dried and ground.
The Bureau Of fisheries is much inter-
ested at present in investigations Of
the relative nutritive value of fish
meals produced by various methods
Of drying. Fish meals are an ex-
cellent source Of proteins and min
erals in animal feeding. Fifteen years
ago, more or less, very little FISH meal
was used by the animal industries.
Out of the sea comes another prod
uct that the Bureau of Fisheries has
studied for possibilities OF developing
or expanding industries. This is kelp,
a seaweed. that, dried and ground, is
now used In animal and human nu-
triton. Many other products of sea-
weeds serve as ingredients of various
food, drug and chemical prepara-
tions, such as agar-agar which is
used in medicinal preparations, blanc
mango made from Irish moss, the use
Of the gelatinous extract of Irish moss
in toilet lotions, the use Of alginates
