PALMER EXCEEDED POWER ougar investigation committee c ports Attorney General Violated His Oath of Office. Washington, C The sugar Inves tigating committee, In a majority re port presented to congress, declared that Attorney General Palmer had used his powor as chlof prosocutlng of Hccr of the government for the pur pose or uxing maximum soiling prices 3f sugar in Louislnun, and In so doing. ictod wholly without authority of law nnd In violation of his own construc tion of his offlclnl duty. The report charged that tho legalis tic method ndopted by the attorney general wns wholly Ineffective ns a means of price control, nnd- that it gnvo apparent governmental snilctlon o extremely high sugar prices, which excited the cupidity of Cuban produc ers and caused an advance In the Cuban market. There were eight Hndlngs In the ma- orlty report, the resolution Introduced by Representative Tlnkhnm, repub lican, Massachusetts, calling for nn In vestigation, concluding the committee Inquiry to Louisiana transactions. The nttoniey general was advised In October, 1010, tho majority held, that exceslve prices were being cliargcd by Louisiana producers, and ho directed United Stntes Attorney Mooney to make every effort to reach tin 'agreement with producers nnd re finers to establish n fair price for tho new crop.

It snld, by tho statement of Mr. Moonev that he was satisfied from his Investigation thnt at 15 cents some producers would bo mnklnir good profit, "and at 17 cents would be making n very large profit," The majority report declnred thnt while tho attorney conerr.l considered 17 cents "unrensonnble" and "rather high." he concurred "In mnklng maxi mum prices of 17 nnd 18 cents." nnd Instructed Mooney "to Immediately prosecute any violator of this agreed price."

BULL HAS MADE ROWAN IU i i w in n m .-' n -m - Antoinette's Itchen Rose King, tho $15,000 Guernsey Dull Owned by the Rowan County (N. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of ABriculture.) Who discovered Itbwan county? Was It tho county ngejit, the state and dairy division Held men, or the farmers theinsvlves? All of those peo ple had a hnml In putting ltownu coun ty on the cattle breeders' map. Hero Is how It huppened. In Jnnunry, 1018, two field men rep resenting the state of North Carolina and the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture, held a series of meetings In North , Caro lina, going out from the towns to the country sclioolhouses ami talking about bull associations. The county agent of Howan county becatnu Interested, and an association wns organized at Salisbury, with a progressive and prac tical farmer ns president, for the pur pose of purchasing nnd owning high quality, purebred Guernsey bulls In common. That bull association hns made How- nn comity famous; nnd the fame Is based on actual beneficial results. At the beglnnlnj there were only 15 pure bred Guernseys In the whole county: now there nre 200. Over $75,000 worth of purebreds were brought Into the. county In 20 months. The membership of the nssoclatlon has gradually enlarg-1 ed until now there are members In ev ery township of tho county. TluMr number now is 219, nnd they own 070 cows. Those men nre not experienced breeders, but the breeding operations nre guided by a mnn who Is perhaps the most experienced breeder in the community. The assessment per cow whs at flrst $5. It was thought advis able to ralsxj this to $7.5C, hut before doing so tho fnct was made public that up to a certain date new members would bo accepted nt the old rate; and at the time 45 persons Joined tho ns soclatlon. Inquiries for Stock Pour In. Ueforu 'the nssoclatlon was, Htarted Itnwnn county hud no wide reputation; It had no special reputation at all ; but very soon after the organization was formed It began to get Inquiries for stock. These came from ninny parts of the country, and It kept the county agent busy to take care of the corre spondence. As this took place before any attempt hnd been made to adver vniue. me nreeoers wuen wih-kiuk singly undoubtedly had good surplus stock for sale, but they found dlllleulty In selling, because they had only the local market ; but 'the bull association opened up the whole country ns a nmrkt't. The reputation made for the county reached distant states. Five graduates of the college of agriculture In Ar kansas are tanking Inquiries with a iov to going to Itowan county to live, because they want to Uvu nnd farm In this progressive locality. A lumber of soldiers returning from tho war-nro looking to Itowan county as n good place to engage In dairy farm ing. Getting After T. B. Tuberculosis, that bane of cattle raising, Is being attacked In earnest. Thefjo farmers, with their lino stock and fine reputation, are not going to run the rlwk of losing both from this disease. Testing Is going on accord- Ing to the accredited herd plan, and the test for tuberculosis has been ad ministered by the federal authorities to 1.000 animals. That tho disease has nut gained n foothold In that region Is Mhown by tho fact that only a fraction of 1 per cent reacted. Last fall the association members ex hibited 100 head of purebred Guern seys at the Salisbury fair. There wero 1(1 heifers in one class. Breeders from vurlous sections of tho country who hud herds of the w.uno lino of breeding as the herds In tho association wore Incited to tho fair. Offered $15,000 for One Bull. Among other visitors to the county was a prominent brooder from New York state, who was looking for n herd bull. Ho was Interested In one of tho association bulls, who was the son of a $20,000 bull, nnd who had himself sired a number of good heifers. None or these heifers had as yet mnde a rec ord, but their conformation Indicated Unit thoy were of excellent quality. The visitor saw tho bull and his dough- i.TS, and Hnnlly offered $15,000 for liim. The association .members thought this was a pretty good offer, and were Inclined to accept It; but the county remonstrated. "North Carolina," . ho snld, "needs for Its own use tho wry best breeding stock It can get, and vp ought not to part with this ex cellent niilmnl." The price, however, was so attractive that It was hard to hold them buck. Tho New York- breeder wnnted the COUNTY FAMOUS- C.) Dull Association. bull, nnd finally succeeded In securing the use of the niilmnl for two years for a payment of $1,000. In addition to this ho gave the nssoclatlon the use of his own herd bull for two years, presented tho nssoclatlon with two young bulls aged seven and eighteen months, respectively, and Insured tho association bull for HO days, to cover the period of transportation. Ho will Insure It ngalit for the return trip at tho end of two years. He also paid the expenses of a man to go with the hull nnd the cost of transportation of nil four bulls. The association still has other good bulls, Including one for which they refused $2,000. This exchange Is an extension of the principle of saving tostod bulls and using them nn other herds. If this principle could be fully applied by In dividual fnrmers working swpnrntoly. It would serve the purpose; but tt Is too dllllcult for the Individual to find other Individuals with whom to ex change. Then, again, buyers apparently have more confidence In breeders selling through nn association. The associ ation Is known ; It has Its reputation to protect, and the Htrnnger feels safe in buying stock through an orgnnlzn- lion. Too Late The Butcher Got Him. Tim success of tho Hownn county ns soclatlon In exchanging nnd marketing Its tried bulls Is In marked contrast with tho common experience of breed ers who send tholr good bulls' to tho block because they do not know how good .a bull's daughters are until he Is dend. The following Is n typical In stance of such u loss: The son of one of the greatest breeding bulls In tho country, and out of one of the great est breeding cow, was sold for a large price at a recent annual sale. Later, a prospective buyer who was looking for n good herd bull found that another son of thls'grent breeding bull, and out of the dam of tho great breeding cow -thnt Is, out of the grandnm of the bull mentioned before had been sold to n fnrmer In Kansas, llecauso of the extraordinary breeding nblllty of tho sire and dam of this second bull. It was thought that their son should also become u great sire, and the buyer approached the Kansas farmer, but found, alas, that the farmer had sold him, nnd tho latest owner of this prom- Islng young bull was a butcher, who did with him nS butchers do nnd thnt was the end of tho matter. There nro numberless Instances of this sort, but they do not occur In bull associations. WEIGHT OF BUSHEL OF CORN Most State Laws Recognize 70 Pounds of Ears or 56 Pounds of Shelled as Standard. The laws of most of the states recog nize 70 pounds of ears or 5(1 pounds of shelled corn as a bushel of corn. These weights are' reliable, says the United States department of agricul ture, when the ears or shelled corn contain only 15 per cent of wnter. About one-thlrd tho weight of ear corn ns customarily harvested In the north ern states is water, while that harvest ed In tho drier sections of the South contains less thnn 15 per cent of wa ter.

"Before long." said the Tussock Moth, "there will be lots more of ns. for soon we will!. be hatching nnd there tiro several generations' of us In a summer. "By that I mean." snld tho Tussfick Moth, "that there. will be quite u few sets of us and before the season Is through. There will be tho grand mothers ourselves nnd tlie mothers who will be our little moth cater pillars. "We're n dangerous lot. We spread like anything. The two worst species belonging to our family are the gypsy and tho brown-tnll. You see we go upon trees that give shade and we destroy those trees of their foliage mid we are not In the least nice. Wo make the leaves look like mere skele tons with the Veins of the lenves -showing, but we take away us much us wo can of tho shade. "We even do It In the cities Where the shade Isn't so plentiful us In tho country. They say that Is one of tho meanest things about us. Trees In tho city are dllllcult to 'grow nnd yet wo don't care. We go after thein! "Wo destroy fruit trees, too. And wo go after forest trees, but I suppose tho inonjiest of all Is the way wo destroy trees which give beautiful shade t people In tlio city who long for shade, too, during the hot summer. "Wo lay from two hundred to three . hundred eggs In a white, cotton-Iook-Ing mass In n Httlo hole In the bnrk6 Look Like Mere Skeletons. of n tree, and then when wo become caterpillars we crawl everywhere wo can. We do all of tbeso things. Ve'ra considered a pest and wo are, I guess. But the folks could get rid of us If they didn't like us; get rid of us be fore wo nro caterpillars. "We could easily bo destroyed when we're merely eggs. 'Flint would, bo the best time, for then It would keep nil tho children nnd grand children froin coming along. If they found thnt all the eggs before them had been de stroyed and thnt they weren't going to hnvo n lot of grandmothers nnd mothers nnd sisters and brothers, they wouldn't bother so much about com ing around. "To bo sure when wo nro caterpil lars they could put sticky paper about tho trees, so we couldn't climb up. But the best of all Is to look out for tho eggs." "Just why,'" asked another moth, "nre you giving all tills freo Informa tion? Do you want to bo destroyed?" "I'll tell you why," snld tho Tus sock Moth. "Do," said tho other. "You see. It probably strikes you ns an extraordinary thing to do." "It docs a bit," snld the other moth. "Hut," Bnld the Tussock Mo(h. 'JI enn't help my ways' and neither, can my family. They've grown to bo hah Its with us, habits wo cannot break. "Still nt the sumo tlmo I feel sorry for people, people who enjoy their fruit trees nnd their forest trees and their lovely trees which shnde them. "And so I'd like to tell them u thing or two to help them out. I'm not such a bad creature after all. I cannot help my ways at all. I'm n pest, but there is something about me which ts to my credit. "I know I'm n pest nnd I know my family Is, and I think It Is a disgrace tho way wo behave, "But. If folks will .only destroy tho eggs before they're hatched out and they'll find them nil together, ns I said before, In the crevices or -hollow plttces In tho bark of trees then that is tho kindest nnd most Humane, way of getting rid of us, for we don't feel anything then nnd we don't know we nre destroyed. "So If ovoryono will tnko enro to sco that tho bark of trees Is In good condition nnd freo from tho eggs of the tussock moth nnd family, they will be doing n good thing for themselves and for tho -trees. . - "There, haven't I told all my se crets?" , "You hnve," "snld tho other moth ; "you most certainly have!" Bald-Headed on His Face. LIttio Eleanoro's father had raised a full beard during a month's absence from home. Upon his return ho at tempted to kiss his little dnughter a usual, but sho wouldn't have It. "I don't kiss strango men," M,o snld. "But you kiss your papa," ho pro tested.
