CROWDED OUT, AS IT WERE Under the Circumstances, Batter’s Complaint Did Seem Just a Lit. tie Bit Unreasonable. An Englishman was persuaded to act as umpire in a ball game between an American and an Australian team In France. In the first inning, with three men on bases, the star batter of the American team stepped up to the plate. “One ball,” called the umpire. “Two balls,” called the umpire. “Three balls,” called the umpire. “Four balls, batter out,” called the umpire, who was Immediately mobbed by the members of the American team. “What d’ye mean by calling me out, you big boob,” shouted the irate vic tim of the ruling. “But. my dear fellow,” explained the Englishman, “can't you see I have no place for you?” Patience is a necessary Ingredient of genius.

CO., NO. 1-1923 JAIL FOR OWNERS OF SCRUB SIRES By M. Gian Kirkpatrick. “The organized farmers of Ontario have asked for legislation against the use of grade bulls* for public service, which is absolutely wliat every state ought to have.” The foregoing state ment appeared in the Farm Journal last winter, in an article presenting both sides of the question regarding laws against the use of any but pure bred bulls. It is-gratifying to know, after ham mering on this question so persist ently, that one state, al a meeting of its last legislature, passed just such a law as we advocated, prohibiting the use of scrub or grade sires for public service. West Virginia passed a law last spring, which makes it un lawful for any person in West Vir ginia to keep for public service for pay, any stallion, bull, boar or ram W'hich is not a purebred, and which is nbt properly registered. The penalty is a fine or jail sentence, or both. The drive to improve the livestock of West Virginia only began to make real headway two or three years ago, when one or two counties put on campaigns to eliminate Scrub bulls. This movement has spread, until now there are a score of counties working along this liqe. One county more than a year ago was confident of go ing over the top and grabbing the banner offered by The Farm Journal to the first county to get rid of all scrub bulls, but the last six or eight scrubs could not be moved. At pres ent there are several counties that have visions of cleaning out all the scrubs before the year is over. But the livestock men of the state were not satisfied with the efforts of these individual counties to have only purebred bulls. They saw that the state-wide effort should be to make a clean sweep an'd build up the live stock of all kinds, so the measure that was put through the legislature is much more sweeping than a pure bred bull law would have been. There are several provisions in the West Virginia act which concern the sale and transfer of animals within the state, but the vital parts are as follows: “Provided, that it shall be unlawful on and after January 1, 1922, for any. per son to keep any breeding animal for public service for pay which is not pure bred and which has not been properly registered in accordance with this act. ’ "Any person who shall fraudulently represent any animal, horse, cattle, sheep or swine to be purebred, or any person who shall post or publish, or cause to be posted or published any false pedigree or certificate, or shall use any stallion or other male breeding ani mal for public service, exchange, or transfer any such animal for service within the state of West Virginia, rep resenting such animal to be purebred without first having such animal regist ered, and obtaining the certificate of commissioner of agriculture as herein after provided or who shall violate any of the provisions of this act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine or not more than |l00 or be imprisoned in the county iail not exceeding 30 days, or by both fine and imprisonment, and it is hereby made the duty of the prosecuting at torney of the county in which the vio lation takes place to prosecute the ac tion.” The state of Oregon passed a law last winter, which provides for regis tration of all dairy bulls which are offered for sale for breeding pur poses,-and prohibits the sale of any but purebred registered bulls for breeding purposes. Under the pro visions of this law, the dairy husband ry department of the Oregon Agri cultural college acts as registration board. Any one in Oregon who wants to sell a dairy bull for breeding pur poses within’ the state must get a license from the registration board. A fee of $1 is charged for each bull registered. The fine for violating the law is not less than $50 nor more than $100, or imprisonment for not less than 30 days nor more than six months. In deciding whejther a bull is fit for registration, even though a pure bred, the registration board is em powered to set a definite standard of milk production to be required of the dam of each bull enrolled. This will weed out the scrub purebred, whose only merit is a pedigree, and which would tear down herds instead of buildirig them up. The registra tion board has power to lower the standard, in case there is a scarcity of good bulls, or Het aside the re quirements of the law if good pure breds should become too dear in price. The law became effective last May. What will these laws accomplish? Will they be dead-letter laws, or will they help the livestock indus try? That all depends on the men who are entrusted with enforcing the laws, and a great deal on public sentiment. Some people are opposed to such laws, just as a few owners of scrub stal lions were opposed to the stallion reg istration laws a few years ago. Says H. G. Myers, one of Our Folks in Missouri: “Your article in the February Farm Journal, ‘Shall We Outlaw the Scrub Bull?' is something that needs thinking about from two sides. The breeders of registered stock are the ones who are trying to get such a law in existence, so that they can sell their stock for any price they . ask. They have sold to mostly all that have more money than brains or money to throw away, so they want a law to force others to buy their high priced stock. Do you remember how the doctors worked to get laws so that nobody could doctor the sick without a diploma? Now, they are some of the best legalized robbers there are, if I am not mistaken; they can charge what they want *o. WJjat are poor people going t:. do when their lives depend on medical treat ment and they haven't the money? That will be the same way with the scrub bull, when they get that law 8ome must follow, and some com mand, though all are made of clay.— Longfellow. “Th’ one ambition o’ my whole life has been t’ walk in my own home an’ eet down t’ a dinner I hadn’t been identified with,” says Mrs. Em Moots.

If it were not for that law, the farmers would have a ready market for corn at $1 a bushel.” Ono of Our Folks in Ontaria, F. R. Mallory, thinks education will solve the problem. He says; ‘‘I do not think that the govern ment can do very much. One thing that it can do is to offer a bonus for good bulls to be used by farmers in a certain community. I was at a railway station the other day when a drover was shipping a bunen of canners, and I saw one man come in with a cow that I presume would bring $25; that man has been on a good farm all his life and his father and" grandfather were there before him. He turned th’.s cow into tee sta tion yaref and he saw a little spotted bull there an ! he took him home for the next year. Ho never asked vho the bull's mother or father was and knew nothing about his family his tory. I looked up the history of that bull. I found that he was sired by a EO per cent. Holstein bull, and the dam was a mixture of a Jersey, Shorthorn and Ayrshire. Two of that man’s neighbors Intend to use that bull, and that means that three herds 4 are’going to be affected by this poor mongrel. That man has money, and he could buy a $2,000 bull If he want ed to. That is the kind of man that we apparently can not reach. The only way we can get rid of the scrub bull Is by a policy of education.” Plainly, education is necessary; and. so is legislation We can not make laws to forbid the use of scrub siren in an owner’s herd, but we can and should prohibit their use for pulill* service. In Canada, legislation is be ing used to Induce farmers to use bet ter bulls. In Nova Scotia a scrub bull act was passed in 1919, providing that the owner of a scrub bull must not permit such an animal to serve any cow within certain limits except a cow owned by himself, and he must not permit the bull to wander from a properly fenced enclosure unless under the control of an attendant. There are evidences that this has accomplished much. Mr. Wilson’s Human Side. J. W. R. Smith, In Collier’s. A great crowd was cheering Woodrow Wilson as he left a theater. A little girl, the child of one of the cast, wa. trying to push her way toward the fo jr.er president. Seeing her, he stoppv,. hts party ar.d sent Mrs. Wilson to fetdh her. And while the crowd watched, the white haired man engaged the rosy cheeked little girl in earnest conversa tion, the gist of which. It turned out afterward, was that Mr. Wilson asked | her what her name was, where she went , to school, and particularly how many dolls she possessed. When Mr. Wilson was automobillng the other day in Rock creek, three'little boys In wading, Just to be smart and. with no idea of being accommodated, yelled out, recognizing the car: "Hey, Woody! Take us home, please!” To their uter amazement, the big car came to a stop and they were told to climb in. Hearing recently that a soldier at the Walter Reed hospital, wearing still the scars of French battle fields, had said the one ambition of his life was to see Wilson, Mr. Wilson sent word that he would be glad to have him come to his home. A billion dollars a year, Sir Fred derick B. Maurice points out, would be released to pay debts and restore industry in Europe if all the conti nental powers disarmed. But the powers, suspicious of one another, will not disarm without a league to enforce peace that would turn eco nomic ostracism and armed forces, if necessary, against any violator of the peace. This country is not ready to take the leadership in creating a strong association of all nations, hence matters drift and we will probably in the end be forced to can cel the $10,000,000,000 and more due fiom Europe. The cancelled debts, of cofirlle, will be added to taxes. We have now 4.000 prohibition enforcement agents, anti the presi dent’s conference with the gover nors brought out the fact that they have been very, very lax in the per formance of their duties. It is pro posed, however, that their numbers be -increased, the intention being, perhaps, that there may be more agents to ne more lax. Why wouldn’t it be better to weed out the present force, and see what 4,000 up-and coming agents might accomplish with actual aid from state govern ments? There’s s Raisin. From the Los Angeles Times. An 1,100 acre vineyard In Merced county—Hid to be now the largest in the country—has just been sold for $1,100 an acre. This is possibly twice as much as it would have brought in the days before prohibition. The grape growers, who were supposed to be brought to beggary by the 18th amerid isent are fattening on their punish ment. The payment of $1,200,000 for a single vineyard Is an example In fact.
