DEPARTMENT
Br D. W. Roberts, Cossrfy Aet
T Bay P-Brd Animals
Mr. George Evans, sheep extension
worker of the Agricultural extension
service, has just returned from a trip
to the farms of pure-bred sheep
breeders in different sections of the
country, where he purchased 140
grade ewes and 40 pure-bred rams
and ewes at prices ranging from $50
to tlOO ver head.
This is one of the largest orders I1
for sheep that as ever oeen piacea
by North Carolina farmers at any
one time. Mr. .Evans had orders for
several more, but, because of the
great demand for better sheep by
farmers all over the country, he was
unable to secure the animals desired
at the prices which he was commis
sioned to pay.
This purchase demonstrated the
growing popularity of pure-bred
sheep in th eState, says Mr. R. S.
Curtis, and is an indication of the
growth of North Carolina as a better
livestock State.
Mr. J. W. Sloss, beef cattle field
agent, is also away on a trip at this
time, trying to buy a carload of pure
bred milking Shorthorn cattle for
farmers in the western section of the
State. Most of the orders have been
given by men it Ashe and Buncombe
counties.
Frown on Marring Nature with Sign
The Rock County Banner, of Clin
ton, Wis., in a sensible editorial ob
jects to glaring signs which so often
mar an otherwise, beautiful outdoor
view, on the ground that nature is
desecrated and in most cases the ad
vertiser is wasting his money.
Savs the Banner:
"Several of the English counties
prohibit under heavy penalties the
disfiguring or fences, country build'
ings and other places with advertis
ing signs. They do this on the two
fold ground that such doings disfigure
the landscape, and offend the good
taste of most Tieople. They are right
There is something deeply offensive
to see some Spot naturally beautiful
to the eye and refining to the senses
mad hideous by some loud-appearing
advertisement. And as for returns,
it is the poorest kind of advertising.
No doubt many who resort to it have
the ildea that because a man can be
hired for a day or two to go around
execrably about the virtu of some
patent medicine warranted to cure all
the ills that mankind is heir to, or
the iron-clad qualities of sbme article
to wear, that it is very much cheaper
for him and that the financial returns
are better for him than if he had put
a local or display ad in his home pa
per. But it is a costly mistake which
most business men have in the long
run realized. All things considered,
there is nothing in advertising that
pays like an attractive, well-written
announcement regularly inserted, but,
occasionally changed as to wording,
and which appears conspicuously in
the paper that the people contiguous
to one's place of business read. And
in so doing the business man also es
capes the reproach of offending good
taste by disfiguring the scenery."
Well-Fed Cow Make the Profit
Records of cow-testing associations
go to show that it is the well-fed cow
that makes the profit. Often the
man who is keeping ten cows would
make more proht if he sold two or
three of the poorest and gave all the
feed to the others, say the specialist
of the animal industry division, agri
cultural extension service.
Owners should see, first of all. say
these dairy specialists, that the dairy
cow has the necessary raw material
from which to make milk. It re
quires a long experience for some
cattle owners to realize that it pays
to feed a cow well. The fact is that
the dairy cow is a milk factory, and,
like all factories, requires consider
able of what is called, in connection
with business enterprises, "overhead
charges."
The cow first takes out enough
from the ration to maintain her body,
and this is about the same, whether
she is milking heavy or giving only
a few pounds. She can produce milk
only with that part of her ration that
she receives above what is required
to support life. A cow of medium
quality uses at least half of a full
ration to support her body, and the
second half of her ration is the only
part she can use to produce milk. If
she does not receive a full ration she
does the only thing possible to do
cuts the milk flow to fit the feed.
The point is that, after going to
the expense of feeding the cow
enough to support her body, and do
ing chores for her, and giving her a
place in the barn, it is anything but
wise to fail to give her as much feed
as she can use for producing milk.

MEMORIAL FOR TROOPS WHO
FELL AT CANTIGNY
The memory of the American sol
diers who fell at Cantigny is to be
perpetuated at Montdidier by the es
tablishment of a municipal hospital
constructed from American Red
Cross barracks. Over the entrance
to the administration building will be
an inscription reading: "Gift of the
American Red Cross to the Town of
Montdidier. In Memory of the
American Soldiers Who Fell at Can
tigny."
Contigny, in the valley below
Montdidier, was the first American
battlefield in France. In the begin
ning of the allied advance last sum
mer the American captured Can
tigny against tremendous odds, ad
vancing further than any other troops
in taking it Many Americans lie
buried on the hillsides about the
town. The French country people
are keeping the graves green, many
of the families having "adopted"
American graves.
In the country surrounding Mont
didier the soldier-peasant is returning
to the soil. Crops are growing where
in January there were hundreds of
shell holes, dugouts and trenches.
Nearly half of the devastated fields
in the district have been reclaimed.
But while this has been going on the
villages have in a large measure been
neglected. Social life, however, is
bing rapidly restored. Churches and
schools ar springing up everywhere,
and in many cases Red Cross bar
racks are serving for this purpose.

HITCHCOCK WENT ARTER THE
G. O. P. ELEPHANT
Senator Gilbert H. Hitchcock,
Democrat, of Nebraska, who is lead
ing the fight for the German peace
treaty and the league of nations in
the Senate, threw real fear into the
Republican leaders last week when he
declared that defeat was better than
inaction. The agreement to dispose
of the so-called Fall amendments was
arranged. Senator Lodge did not like
the charge of deliberate filibuster to
defeat the treaty.
Responding to a dare from Senator
Fall, Republican, of New Mexico, Mr.
Hitchcock said: "The Senator can
defv until he is black in the face, but
he knows, and all the Senators know,
who are here holding up this treaty
and delaying ratification by a hlibus
ter, in spite of the will of the people
of the United States, that the su
preme council exists in Europe, and
will exist until the nations are at
peace."
CONFERENCE ASKED TO EN
DORSE ARBITRATION PLAN
Concrete proposals designed to
bring about better relations between
employers and their employed were
laid before the national industrial
conference last week by members of
the various groups making up the
gathering. The proposals included:
Arbitration of the nation-wide
steel strike with return of the men to
work pending settlement; an indus
trial truce starting immediately and
continuing three months; creation of
an arbitration board by the President
and Congress and including among its
members all ex-Presidents ; and a
comprehensive plan for adjudication
of industrial disputes through boards
of arbitration in the various indus
tries.
The conference also took its first
concrete action in adopting a motion,
offered by Thomas L. Chadwick, a
representative of the public, provid
ing that a committee consisting of
three members from each of the
groups of employers, labor and the
public be appointed to investigate the
high cost of living.
The proposals were all, under the
conference rules, referred to the gen
eral committee, composed of five rep
resentatives of each group. It was
generally believed that the proposals
would be in the hands of the commit
tee for some time.
French authorities estimate that
one in every 30 of the allied soldiers
who entered that country married a
French bride.
