Police and Buyers Cooperate
to Smash Stock Raidin9 Rims

East Lansing-The streamlir.
ed version Of rural rustling In
Michigan Ii going into the pages
of history with the records OF
similar operations Of the wild
and wolly west.
The Michigan State Police
constitute the keystone in q CO.
operative program that Is fast
erecting a wall of protection
around the live stock, poultry
and grain stocks of the farmer.
Safeguards are comparatively
new and came out of an emer-
gency created during the depres-
sion of the late twenties when
foraging parties could realize
quick and easy money from raids
on the rural communities. A
bag of chickens brought q dol
lar each at almost any market,
and there was always a market
for q head or two of livestock
or q few bagfulls of grain.
The raids became systematic
ed and bold bands of rural
raiders made life miserable for
the farmer. Organized gangs
who had prospered by racket
eering in prohibition days turn
ed readily to this new easy
money thievery.
The Michigan State Police, or
ganized primarily as a rural pro-
tective agency. began combating
this development with night
patrols. A watchful eye was
turned toward granaries, chick
en- houses and cattle barns. The
truck on the road late at night
was stopped and the driver re-
quired to furnish more than a
drivers license.
The night patrol was supple
mented with a tightening of the
check on markets for this type of
merchandise. When motorized
cattle rustlers drove up beside a
farmyard at night and stole a
few head of cattle, finding a
market for them became in
creasingly tough.

cases died while facing appar-
emily good quality hay and grain
during winter stall feeding pc
RODS, yet some of the secret now
seems to be solved with research
by four men at Michigan State
College.
They announce that what has
been known as Grand TRAY
erse' or Lake Shore disease"
gives way to remarkable recov-
cry in sheep and dairy and beef
cattle when minute quantities of
cobalt salt r provided.
Indications are tnat the dis
ease is essentially due to a cobalt
deficiency, which leads to loss
OF appetite and a low concentra-
ton of red coloring in the blood
of the animals. Corn and hay
grown on farms in the affected
areas has a lower cobalt content
than that grown on farms in un-
affected areas.
Apparently normal hay con-
tains one-eighth part of cobalt
in a million parts of hay, on a
dry basis. In cobalt deficient
areas the cobalt is present in but
one part Of cobalt in 33 million
to Is million parts of hay.
Just why cobalt produces bet
ter appetite is to be studied by
the men, who include A. c. Bait
ger, extension dairymen: B. j.
Killham, extension veterinarian:
G. w. Duncan, research assistant
in chemistry: and c. F. Huff
man, associate professor of dairy
husbandry.
Preliminary recommendations
have been made to farmers in
the area. Tests indicate the sug-
gestions r correct. Affected
cattle or sheep are given access
to q mixture containing one
ounce of cobalt sulphate mixed
well with 100 pounds of salt. In
extreme cases, injections of the
cobalt salt have been made by
veterinarians.
Symptoms include general
emacation. incoordination in
gait. and depraved appetite. The
condition is termed salt sick"
in Florida, meek ail' in Massa-
chusetts and coast disease" in
South Australia.

Summer Crops
Add viiamins

It's easier to get a supply of
vitamins in summer. One of the
most plentiful is vitamin G, pres
ent in most of the vegetables and
many of the fruits soon in the
peak of harvest for the sum-
mer.
Members of the home econom-
les extension staff at Michigan
State College remind the cooks,
however, that vitamin c is elus-
i've. Foods must be fresh and
properly cooked, if cooked. to
retain a plentiful supply in the
food on the table.
Vegetables offering a goodly
supply of vitamin c include new
cabbage, green lima beans,
green peas, summer squash or
any of the leafy vegetables.
Plump red tomatoes, canta-
loups, raspberries and watermel-
ons or lemonade are other
sources.
Most important of the cook
ing rules is to use as little water
as possible and to serve this
cooking water with the vege-
tables. The vitamin c dissolves
in the cooking water. Losses
occur when the water Is drained
off and discarded, when vege-
tables are cooked too long or
when soda is added to the cook
ing water.

GARDENING IN JUNEAU;
 TIPS ARE GIVEN ABOUT
 RAISING SOME PLANTS

for it's green and white foliage which is very attractive. And an other gardener reports success With a perennial baby's, breath and a Philladelphus. Mrs. Richardson, of Thane, highly recommends peonies. She has tried several varieties and has had very good success with all of them.
 Thane Flower Garden
 And speaking of Mrs. Richard son, no garden article on Juneau gardens would be complete without mention of her and of the numer- GUS things she has tried and of those she has found satisfactory. l am glad to see the number of gardeners who have the inquisitive mind, increasing as they seem to be. It will take many gardeners, trying different things, to eventu- ally prove what will or will not stand our climate. Thus the scope of our gardens should broaden each year as more gardeners find new plants that will do well for them
 And now back to some more bf the plants found successful by Mrs. Richardson. With the peonies, sne uses Bellodona delphinium as a background It's light, clear blue flowers contrast beautifully with the red and pink of the peonIes This delpiinium is better for cut ting as it branches freely and IS not, so tall. Instead of only the common yellow globe flower seen in almost every garden, she has twt new ones that are very worth while. A very early variety, earlier even than the common one, is the variety Orange Prince. A later one ! is Meteor, a deep brilliant orange And in addition to the common orange-red Oriental poppy, Mrs Richardson has pink variety ano red one which are very desirable Another plant she has that have admired, is 9 five-foot tall Astilbe with salmon pink blossoms. The
 interesting thing about this plant l Is its flower buds, which are g 1 lovely shade ofared, opening to a salmon pink color. Two lphlox, low growing and suitable for rock gar dens. borders or beds, that she has found hardy, are phlox stibulata and "a variety of phlox canadensis She also has a vine that has win tered for a number of years ant has blocmed, that should be oi : value to others.

 New Plant Tryout
 The Juneau Florists have new plant they are trying out this year, which, if it will survive the win ter, should be fine addition to local gardens. It is a patented flow CT, called azaleamum. This name is composite of the word azalea and chrysanthemum, both of which the plant is supposed to resemble. It is supposed to resemble the aza- lea in habit and it's flowers are like the chrysanthemum. But. like all new things, it is quite expens- i've. satN Afeas :
 Ann Coleman had a beautiful plant of the Christmas Rose in her garden this spring It bloUned tin March and had over 30, iarge, single, pure white blossoms with long, heavy yellow stamens Its blooming periodlis long too. It is just now finishing. This was an- other plant that Mrs. Richardson first tried out ta and gave Ann en start of. several years ago. It takes a few years for it to getsestablished but once well started will last 'in- definitely. a lalt,D HNt i9s- Nt
 Mrs. Charles Forward has been successful with regal lilies out-of- doors. She has them close to the house and they are multiplying. Next fall she is going to put a few Of them in the borders away from the house and see if they will sur vive without the heat from the house.
 Anemone and ranunculus bulbs are started indoors and transplant ed outdoors after danger of frost is over. These are tender bulbs and must be dug and stored each win ter. The flowers come in shades of yellow, red and blue and bloom for long time.
 Window Boxes
 The action of the Rotary Club in building and planting window boxes for the down town district is to be greatly commended Now if the residents in general, would supple ment this by adding window boxes to their places wherever possible we should have town that would not only impress visitors and tour ists but one that we ourselves would feel more proud of living in.
 As this is the wrong season tC plant bulbous stock, other than what I have mentioned, 1 shall only name them now. Daffodils narcissus, crocus, hyacinths, scil- lias, chinodoxa, squills and tulips are very satisfactory here. These are all planted in the fall.
 Perhaps I've given you lot oi dos and donts in these articles but that doesn't mean that is tht only way to do it. For instance, have my pet recipe for devils food cake, let's say, while you make it quite differently, yet we prob ably both have a good cake. So il is with gardening works fol one person may not work for tht other But generally speaking, whai I have given you should make fol better garden. I hope so anyway

Overseers old Timers

"These commandants don't repre-
sent the cruel, upstart type bred by
National Socialism. They are old
timers
Mr.. Maloney said the schooling
going on among prisoners is true
also of British camps.
AT one Canadian camp I visited
after returning from Europe" he
said, II found a former captain Of
the liner Europa, who had been cap
tured taking a supply ship to Nor
way from the port of Bremen. teach
ing navigation to fellow prisoners,
many of them sailors formerly in
his command"
Fifteen difficult subjects were
taught at this camp, Mr.. Maloney
added. The former Europa skipper,
incidentally, is serving as a liaison
man between the prisoners and the
camp overseers.
Britain has been able to take care
of her prisoners much more ade-
quately than Germany, largely due
to the much smaller number, Mr..
Maloney said. He estimated that
the British are holding approx
mately $4,000 prisoners in camps on
the Isle of Man, Canada, New Zea-
land and Australia.
Lauds Taylor's Work.
Mr.. Maloney has completed a book
describing the high lights of his
European observations-a volume
entitled LET There Be Mercy" 1t
is off the presses today. In it he
pays high tribute to Wayne Chat
field Taylor. under whose direction
he worked while in Europe.
'Mr. Taylor did an almost super
human job on the continent" Mr..
Maloney said. He was the first to
negotiate with Germany for relief
OF civilians in Paris, and everywhere
death and destruction broke out, Mr..
Taylor's guidance in bringing relief
was felt"
Mr.. Maloney has just completed a
lecture tour which took him into %
principal cities across the country.
He said he was impressed most with
the general apathy of the American
people to any sense of danger"
However, we apparently are grad
ually-but still too slowly realizing
this war is going to be a long war;"
he added, land we are putting more
thought on preserving those things
necessary for decent humanity"

today, and a third criminal court is
expected at an early date. One of
the IL juristS of District Court, now

criminal court work or the visiting
jurist may sit on the criminal bench,
as was the case during part of the
