of Ssattle Club.
A fnst baseball club for Seattle Is
one of the alms of John J. Sullivan
of Seattle, an actlvo member of tho
American Legion. He has "Joined
Wade Klllefer, formerly manager of
the Lns Angeles club of the 1'aclflc
Coast league, and Charles .1. Lockard,
well-known Washington business man
In the purchase of the club. Harry
Wolverton, nco-of-mnnugcrs of pen-nant-chnslng
ball clubs In the West,
wur selected to lead the club.
Sullivan was born In Massachusetts
but preferred the thrilling environ

roundlngs of Cape Cod. He arrived
In Seattle In 1SKV1 and set nbout to
John J. Sullivan.
complete his education in law in the
University of Washington. A poor
boy, Sullivan paid his way through
the school by holding down ii Job In
the post ofllce. After his admission
to the legal profession, he became as
sistant United States district attor
ney, nnd later assistant to the attor
ney general In Washington. In this
legal capacity he served as counsel
In many of the most Important cases
In the West, among them being tho
prosecution and ultimate conviction of
I. W. W. members, who shot down
four members of the American Legion
In Centralla, Wash., on Armistice day,
1020. Eleven of tho thirteen accused
aien were convicted. Another case of
importance with which Sullivan was
connected was that of the defense
of Madalyn Ohenchaln nnd Arthur
llureh, accused of the slaying of J.
Helton Kennedy, who were freed after
three juries had failed to convict
them.
Sullivan's connection with hnsehnll
originated when he participated In tho
case of the Seattle Pacific Coast
league club against gamblers who
fought damages from park owners for
their ejection. The Supreme court
ruled against the gamblers, the de
cision now being frequently used to
tnvoke the right of eviction in other
cities. On winning this case, Sullivan
asncintod himself with the new pur
chasers of the Seattle baseball club,
and Is out to help win the pennant.
During the wnr Sullivan was an
enlisted mnn In the military Intelli
gence section, plnylng n prominent part
in tho settlement of strikes among gov
ernment workers in the Northwest dur
ing the wnr. He was one of the In
corporators of the American Legion,
when congress olllclnlly established
the organization. He wns the author
of tho "alien shirker" resolution
adopted by the Legion, nnd was nnmod
to head the Legion's first nntlonal
committee on the Japanese question.
LEGION IS AN AID TO LABOR
President of Illinois Federation
Praises Work of Former Service
Men's Organization.
Praise of the work of the American
Legion In behalf of the laboring man
was voiced by President John Wulkcr
oT the Illinois Federation of Lnbor nt
a recent state conference of Legion
commnnders nnd adjutants of Illinois.
"Unionism is Indebted to the Legion
for the fight you waged against unre
stricted immigration which prevented
the dumping of foreign hordes upon
our shores to destroy the standord of
living and of wages," he said. "No
Union man can help but feel grnteful
to you for this."
President Walker showed how much
n part of one another the Legion and
Federation are by quoting some tig
urea: "In the Inst wnr," he said, "there
wore OSO.OOO American lighters bear
ing union cards. But If there had not
teen n trade unionist In that war,
union men could not help but stand
for tho same principles that are con
tained in your constitution.
"You havo pledged your co-operation
in two endeavors of unionism to wipe
out Illiteracy from this country, and In
the campaign for Americanism. A bill
has recently gone through the legisla
ture raising tho educational require
ments of children who have to work
from the sixth to the eighth grades.
Another law provides kindergartens fo
poor chlldrcu and another an educa
tion for crippled children. There Is u
bill now ponding to reclaim the men
tally defective children."
President Walker declared that nt
the next convention of the Illinois Fed
oration of Labor ho would mil to the
attention of tho executive committee

Sterilizing Cans
Is Big Necessity
Groat Care Must Be Taken
to Prevent Spoilage and
Insure Good Milk.
(Prepared by tin) I'nltnl Slain Depnrttnent
of AgrlruKuro.)
If bacteria wore largo enough to bo
visible to the uakud eye, and still re
tained their remarkable powers of In
creasing, their multiplication in nn tin
sterilized milk can on a warm summer
day would probably produce an effect
much like nn explosion. Under favor
iible conditions the Increase In num
bers In 21 hours, even on the walls of
an empty can, Is almost beyond belief.
These large numbers of microorgan
isms hasten the souring of milk put
Into the cans.
Attention to Cans Needed.
To prevent loss through spoilage nnd
to Insure u wholesome product on the
consumer's kiblc, It Is absolutely
necessary to tfve attention to steriliz
ing cans, particularly during the hot
mouths. Mere washing and rinsing will
not do, especially If sevoral utensils
are washed and rinsed In the same
water, ub several million bacteria
usually will be left In a can. The mil
lions soon Increase to billions, and
when milk I put Into the cans It is
Inoculated with the organisms present.
Some recent experiments by the de
partment have brought out llgures
which should add weight to the con
tention that regular dally sterilization
of cans means much In getting milk
on the market In good condition. Cans
were washed and rinsed, and bucterln
counts were made on them both before
and after sterilization, nnd on similar
cans which, were held for 21 and 4S
hours. The lids wore kept on the cans,
which were left under conditions much
the same as those encountered during
shipment to mnrket.
Good of Sterilization.
In estimating the number of bacteria
in the cans, they were rinsed once
with about u pint of 6terllc water. Tho
work was done with four lOgnllon
cans. In one linsterlllxcd can soon
after washing -17,000,000 bacteria wore
found, while the count for a similar
can after sterilization wns only 11,000
bacteria. Another unsterlllzed con
was held for 24 hours under condi
tions similar to those encountered In
shipment and hauling, and It then
yielded 10,000,000,000 bacteria at the
first rinsing. A can which had been
sterilized and dried and held for the
same length of time contained only
10.SOO. The unsterilhed can held 24
hours contained cnongh bucterln to
contaminate ten gallons of milk with
400,000 organisms for e-ich cubic
ccutimcter.
There are about 10 drops In n cubic
centimeter of milk. A wel!-ster!l!zcd
can would contribute only about one
organism to each cubic centimeter of
milk. It is nut dllllcult to sec what an
advantage the can contaminating each
ruble centimeter of milk with only one
bacterium would have over the one
where the milk Is contaminated at tho
start with 400,000 bacteria per cubic
centimeter.
Cut Sudan Grass When
It Begins to Head Out
The most prolltnble time to cut su
dan grass is between the time It be
gins to head until It Is fully headed
out. There is little loss, however,
when the grnss is allowed to grow
until the seed hns reached the soft
dough stage, only one cutting being
then required to hnrvost the crop and
obtain the maximum yield of forage.
When cut earlier more than one cut
ting may be obtained hut the yield per
cutting will not be so Inrge. There
ure few grasses that are Injured so
little by standing beyond the proper
stage of maturity as sudah grass. This
Is duo to the numerous tillers, which,
nrlslng from the bnse, mature succes
sively and provide Immature stalks
throughout the season.
Manure Most Profitable
When Applied to Wheat
In the rotntlon of com, oats, wheat,
and clover, the one commonly used nt
the Ohio experiment station, It has
been found that over n period of eight
years rannure has proved most prof
itable when applied to the wheat. It
was least profitable when placed on
the new clover seeding. The stntlon
has used eight tons of manure to the
acre and hns reinforced It with 00
pounds of ncld phosphate to ench ton.
Tho practice of phosphatlng the
nmnuro Is strongly recommended by
this stn'lon.
Profitable to Give Cow
Rest Before Freshening
It will pay to give your cows n rest
of six to eight weeks before they
freshen again. If they are In good
flesh thy will nerd. hut little grain.
Cows thin In flesh should be fed lib
erally so that they will put on liesh.
A bushel of corn fed to a dairy cow
before calving Is sometimes worth as
much as two bushels fed after fresh
ening. ; Alfalfa Seed Should Be
i Tested for Germination
I Alfalfa seed Intended forplnntlng
this fall should ho .submitted to n
competent seed analyst for n deter-
i mlnatlon of purity and germination.
Many noilous weeds nro spread nnd
Berlous losses occur from failure to
observe this simple and Inexpensive
precaution.
Forests Damaged by j
Insects and Diseases
Big Losses Emphasize Need
for Educational Work.
(Prepared by the t'nlloil Ktnloa t)errrtnsnl
of Agriculture )
Foresters nnd entomologists of tho
United Stntes Department of Agricul
ture declare that the losses caused by
Insect attacks upon living trees and
crude, finished and utilized forest
products amount to $1.'10,000,000 annu
ally. The recent report touching upon
this nnd other forestry subjects do
clnres that these vast losses clearly
emphasize the need for educational
work nnd the development of syste
matic control measures which now are
woefully Inadequate.
This report, which formed part o
tho 1022 year book of the department
nnd which may be obtained upon re
quest as a sepnrnte pamphlet, pointed
out that the western pine beetle, the
gypsy moth, the chestnut blight nnd
tho' white pine blister rust are tho most
dnmnglug of the insects nnd diseases
which are. now nttncklng the living
trees and forest products.
"Altogether," It Is stated, "tho most
Important present example of the Im
ported dlscnsc Is the white pine blister
rust. Introduced from Kuropo within
the past 20 years It Is now widespread
through the northern range of tho
eastern white pine, nnd hns recently
been found extensively In British Col
umbia nnd, to n limited extent, In Wash
ington on the western white pine. Tha
very existence of the western white
nnd sugnr pine forests Is threatened."
The destruction of currnnt and
gooseberry bushes Is the means of rid
ding the forests of the blister rust.
Other Insects and diseases nlso take an
enormous toll every year, nnd the cosl
in dollnrs to fight these damaging pesti
would be but n fraction of the loss they
cause, the report states.
Best Grasshopper Bait
From Poisoned Sawdust
Snwdust Is cheaper feed for grass
hoppers than grain crops. With a lit
tie nrsenlc added, one feeding will
satisfy their appetite.
"Grasshoppers annually destroy
thousands of dollars' worth of crops Id
Wisconsin us well us other states
Killing with poisoned bait has proved
n cheap, effective way to tight them
A mixture of sawdust, 2." pounds ; mid
dlings, 5 pounds; white ursenlc, 114
pounds; salt, l'i pounds; nmyl nco
lute, 12 teaspoonfuls, moistened with
water nnd scattered broadcast over tha
field which Is being eaten by grans
hoppers Is the cheapest, surest euro so
far," declares C. L. Fluke of the Wis
consin College of Agriculture. "Tin
salt and nmyl acetate Is the attrac
tive part of tho halt.
"The bait gives best results when
applied Just before feeding time for
the hoppers. TIiIh may be early In tha
morning or In the afternoon depend
ing on the kind of grasshoppers.
"Put the amy I acetate In tho wntei
and add to the dry mixed sawdust,
arsenic und snlt. When thoroughlj
mixed mid the middlings and stir,"
Fiuko directs. "HaVdwood snwdusl
is best."
Way of Treating Softer
Woods for Fence Posts
The best method of trcntlng the
softer woods for fence posts Is to sot
the butts Into hot creosote and soak
them for n time depending on the
kind of wood, letting the creosoto
come about eight or ten Inches abova
the ground level. It is then ndvls
ablo to take them out of the hot cre
osote and then glvo them a cold bath
over the entire post; that Is, soak tin
entlro post In the creosoto. This pre
serves the wholo post nbout cquallj
so that the top will not glvo way b
fore the bottom and so on. The brush
method of trcittlng fenco posts would
help somewhat, but Is not nearly bo
cffectlvo aa the hot and cold treat
menr.
Sodium Fluorid Useful
in Destroying Vermin
A single pair of chicken lice will
number 125,000 In eight weeks. A
simple remedy is to dust or dip tho
chickens In sodium fluorid twice a
yenr. This powder can bo purchased
from most any druggist nnd when ap
plied as a powder should be distrib
uted in small quantities over all parts
of the body of the chicken. Ten to
twelve pinches of the powder Is usual
ly sufficient. It may bo used In solu
tion by dissolving nt the rate of one
ounce per gallon of water."
Alfalfa Used as Siloing
Crop Gives Most Forage
Considerably more forage Is ob
tained when alfalfa Is used ns a silo
ing crop than animals gather by graz
ing. In n trial with dairy cows nt tho
N'ehraskn station only half ns much
feed was secured from a given area
when nlfnlfa was pasture us when tho
crop was cut and fed ns silage.
Where one has a good stand of nlfalfa
that ho wishes to keep It Is a question
whether it is advisable to pnsture it.
Water Adds Materially

washing tho work horso'u shoulder

corn six parts, bran three pnrts, lin
