Americans Require $3.50
Of Worlds Meat Supply

The people of the United States,
although comprising less than 6 per
cent Of the worlds population and
owning less than fifth Of its hogs
and only a tenth Of it's cattle, eat
perhaps fourth Of its beef and
fourth Of its pork, according to the
Institute Of American Meat Pack
ers. By contrast, in British India,
where the Hindus hold some cattle
sacred, beef production and con-
sumption are relatively low, al
though India boasts twice as many
cattle, including water buffalo, as
does the United States.
In general, the countries and the
continents with the largest human
populations are also those with the
largest numbers of cattle and hogs.
Asia, for example, with half the hui
man population of the globe, also
numbers at least third Of the cat
tie and about a third of the hogs.
And China, which enjoyed sausage
and perhaps also roast pork thou
sands Of years ago, recently pos
sessed practically twice as many
hogs as this country had. Europe,
with about fourth of the worlds
people, has perhaps a fifth of its
cattle and fourth Of its hogs.
1t is now more than 400 years
since Columbus crossed the Allan
tic, but with all our modern growth,
the combined population of North
and South America today is still
less than half of that Of Europe and
only about a fifth Of that Of Asia.
In live stock numbers, however, or
in the amount of meat consumed,
the United States alone apparently
stands much higher, although out
ranked by several nations in meat
consumption per capita.

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Our Constitution grants to every
citizen the right ITO life liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" But.
l must say it is quite difficult for
some Of us to keep these rights for
ourselves. l am referring to the
constant annoyance of having law
less young felix's come into our
yards at night and steal fruit from
the trees we have cherished and
cared for for years.
The writer of this article is an
old lady, quite poor and she needs
the fruit for her own use or to sell.
The old folks have few amuse-
ments. The young folks dance.
swim and engage in all sorts of
sports and games the expenses of
which are paid by the home owners
whose fruit is being stolen.
AS was saying. not being able
to indulge in the amusements of
the young folks some Of us oldsters
have planted gardens where we
can watch the flowers bloom and
the fruit grow and ripen. Fruit
trees are lovely when in bloom and
when the fruit is ripening. They
add to the attractiveness of our
city. Will not cur citizens make a.
concerted effort to have this con-
temptable thieving stopped?
The names of several of the
young folks who have been tres
passing are known to the writer,
and unless it is stopped she will
call en- the authorities for assis-
lance.

During the first two weeks of
October is ideal. After the middle

factory. L. Sando, division Of
horticulture.
Is 1t necessary to have a special
type of cOntainer for vegetables
placed in cold storage lockers?
No. Glass jars will do very nice
ly. Some of the locker operators
keep a supply of fruit containers
on hand to sell to the locker users.
These containers sometimes pack
more compactly than the glass
jars, allowing greater storage
space. -Inez Hobart. nutrition
specialist.
My spring lambs are not fat and
thrifty. They are getting plenty to
eat but do not respond properly.
Can this condition be caused by
worms and If SO is it too late to
drench them?
1t sounds like your lambs may
have stomach worms. BY all means
drench them as soon rs possible
with the standard copper sulphate
or bluestone formula. am sending
you a copy of Folder AZ, Stomach
Worms in Sheep. This gives COM
plete directions.-W. E. Morris, ex-
tension animal husbandman.
The canes In my raspberry patch
seem to be infested with q worm
that causes the tips TO wilt and re-
duces the yield Of fruit. What
might these be and what can do
TO destroy them?
We call them the raspberry cane
borer. Whenever these wilted tips
are seen, the cane should be cut
OF several inches below and burned
with the insect contents. Be sure
to cut out all old canes in the fall.
The worms work mostly on the
bearing canes, so cutting these out
In the fall is the best control
method.-A. G. Ruggles, professor
of entomology.

that has some insects I'm IL. What
are they and how can they be con-
tr0lled?
The insects in the stalk that you
sent are the stalk bcrer that Is
common in cornstalks, often at
lacks potatoes, and sometimes is
found in oats and other plants.
You probably found that the dam
age was worse around the edge of
the field and this gives clue to
the control of the insect. Destroy
rubbish, weeds, etc., around field
boundaries since the insects lay
their eggs in this type of material.
There Is no other cure or control
fer the insects.-A. G. Ruggles,
professor of entomology.

Other notes on dress flay out
at hats and point startlingly at
the fact that women no longer
in the new vogue remove hats
as heretofore. Gowns have an
equivocal shape, which makes It
difficult to say whether they
are really gowns or riding dress
es. Small collars, long waists,
short skirts, flaps on the sides,
says the article, they resemble
much the frocks worn twenty
years ago.
In mems fashions they were hav-

Goats Go to Work

1t Is far cry from Angora goats
to automobiles. yet this species of
goat provides the raw material for
the mohair upholstery found in so
many motor cars. One goat must
thrive and produce for 10 years to
provide enough mohair to upholster
the average five-passenger sedan.
Consequently, because of the de-
mand Of car manufacturers for mo.
hair fabric, the raising Of Angora

charter in lending itself to such
illegal practice; nor could an in
dividual or partnership engage in
such business since the furnishing
of medical care would still violate
the statute as it would amount to
the lay practice Of medicine where
it attempted to control the desig-
nation of the physician.
Subject to Suspension
The board also asked whether
a doctor who participates in such
a plan is subject to suspension or
revocation Of license. Responding
affirmatively, Burnquist asserted:
For a doctor to aid a corporation
or a layman to practice medicine
unlawfully is violation of the
state. The supreme court of this
state has held that a lawyer who
aids a corporation or layman to
unlawfully practice law is guilty of
misconduct.
"A licensed physician should not
aid or abet anyone to unlawfully
practice medicine and it follows
that if he does so, he is guilty of
Immoral, dishonorable and unpro-
fessionaD conduct within the mean
ing of the state"
The legislature has declared
the practice of medicine distinct
from that of OsteOpathy, Burn
quist stressed, after pointing
out that the facts as related
by DIR. Dubois show the money
paid by the corporation is di-
vided equally between doctor
of medicines and a doctor of
osteOpathy, irrespective of
which one attends the patient
Burnquist, in combining his opin-
ion to the facts of the particular
case outlined by the board, held
the arrangement is in violation of
a 1927 law which makes it illegal
for any physician or surgeon to
divide fees with or pay a commits
sion to any other physician or sur
geon who calls him in consultation
or sends patients to him for treat
ment or operation"
In the case in question, the at
torney general held that the agree
ment is between the corporation
on one hand, and the physician and
osteopath on the other.

BIBLE LECTURES

Bible lectures at the Gospel Tab
ernacle have been we'll attended.
Elder DeVon's knowledge of the
Greek and Hebrew enables him to
more thoroughly interpret the orig
inal intent of both Old and New
Testaments. Dealing with the
churches of Revelation 2 and 8 he
showed how corrupt practices were
introduced in various church ages.
These tended to destroy the SIM
plicity and effectiveness of the
Gospel by uniting pagan ceremon-
les with pure Christian doctrine.
Members of the Tabernacle and
friends have thoroughly enjoyed
Elder DeVon's ministry with his
frank and fearless application of
Bible truths to present day living

organized in three main divisions
in time of peace: Foreign, security
and publicity. The foreign divis-
ions consist of the accredited diplo-
matte, military and commercial
representatives of the various ma
tiOns, not only in Washington, but
throughout the continental United
States and its possessions. Through
them a vast stream of information
f1oWes back to offices in the capitals
of Europe and Asia to be evaluated
and catalogued for future references,
or correlated to form an estimate of
all phases of our life, from our re-
serve supply of tin available for
military purposes to the state of
mind of the nation on any specific
question.
To those open and accredited
representatives, some nations MAIN
tain additional forces, as was re-
vealed in the Nazi spy trials in the
Federal ourt of New York several
months ago. when an Army deserter
pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sell
defense plans to German military
authorities. The investigation, ac-
cording to Leon G. Turrou, former
F.. B. I. agent who worked on the
case many months before it came
to light, merely scratched the sur
face of 'Nazi spy activities in the
United States. These agents report
directly to Berlin all items reaching
their ears, the vast majority of
them of little importance of them
selves, but of greatest significance
when added to a report from an en-
tirely different source. They make
up the pattern of vast jigsaw puz-
zle, the outline of which takes
shape as oddly assorted bits are
fitted into the proper place, eventu-
ally to be interpreted by trained
observer.
To combat these foreign services
each government has a security
division to protect its important
military information. This work
is considerably more difficult in the
United States, except In naval gun
factories or Army ordnance plants.

were introduced in battle with the
greatest secrecy tanks and poison
gas. But the secrecy with which
they were prepared frustrated the
hopes fostered by the British and
German StaffS, respectively, for
breaking the stalemate on the West
ern Front. Used only in small num-
berS and on unsuitable terrain in the
Somme offensive of September, 1916
the tanks failed to produce the re-
suits desired. The element of sur
prise was gone, but fortunately the
Germans formed such a low opin-
ion of their value that they made
little effort to develop this new
arm until the final months of the
war, when it was already too late.
Despite the loss of secrecy. the
British retained their faith in
tanks and employed them with
crushing effect In later offensives
up to the armistice.
The failure of the German gas at
tack at Langemarck in April, 1915,
was due. like that of the tanks later,
to unfamiliarity with its use result
ing from secrecy. BY the time tao
tical methods had been formulated,
the allies had supplied their troops
with the first gas masks and de-
veloped gas weapons of their own.
The Army and Navy, then, are
constantly faced with decisions as
to what will be the price of secrecy.
III the new armament program,
plans which long have been kept
secret are being taken from the files
and converted into instruments of
war. Despite all precautions hu-
manly possible, some inkling of these
plans will get out once they are
sent to factories to be manufactured
or later when they are placed in the
hands of troops for use. Yet If the
factories which must produce these
war implements are not practiced
in their manufacture, and troops in
their use, the most destructive
weapon may prove of little or no
value.
