. INJUNCTION ASKED Ifekflf ifiimiOT p,uc onnv fr"" AGAINST PINE BODY Government Alleges fonspir acy in Restraint of Trade By Association. f Washington, D. C. Injunction pro ceedings asking that the federal courts put an end to certain operations of the Western Pine Manufactured' associa tion, comprising ahout fif'y corpora tions, were filed by the federal gov ernment in St. Paul, Minn., at tlia direction of Attorney-General Daugii erty. The petition charges that the asso ciation is a "combination and conspir acy in restraint of interstate commerce and trade" in lumber, operating by means of a basic price list arrang -rnent which "never purported to reflect the actual market." The result, it is declared, is lo eliminate competition and form a fictitious price level. Eighty-six individuals are named as defendants in the case, which was sub mitted after long and careful investiga tion by the department of justice. The petition states that many of the defenda-.f rr." Mifacturei !: 'orpor- ated uUwvl' l... laws of EX.i a, and maintain their principal offices within that state, although a large amount of the lumber manufactured by them is shipped in the course of interstate trade and commerce from the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon tant, in which it is produced, into tha Minnesota district, and there sold to wholesalers and retailers who in turu ell it to consumers within this dis trict or again ship it into the neigh boring states for sale to dealers or consumers. i Turin Noton from O. A. C. Eiyerl MM .Station.) Tim Hint drawn milk from the udder 1h vury poor in fat, tsnerally leas than one per cent. The last drawn milk is very rich, often testing from 8 to 10 per coin or even Uglier. - O. A. C. When the Interval! of time be tween milking are unequal, cows generally yield a smaller amount of milk after the shorter period, but this milk is slightly richer in fat and lotal solids.- O. A. C. SOVIET CONFISCATES I AMERICAN PROPERTY Washington, D. C. Confiscation by the soviet authorities of America a property interests in Vladivostok has greatly complicated the situation with regard to the status of the American consulate in that port, according to official information disclosed here. Property valued at several hundred thousand dollars belonging to Ameri can firms has been nationalized undi r the soviet law of 1917, which declares all private property to belong to ths state and efforts of American officials thus far have proved unavailing In restoring this property to its owners. The American government as yet has not actually ordered the consu late at Vladivostok closed, and the state department is at present without 1 advices as to whether the consul intend to leave. The soviet government has given j notice to the American officials that j they have until May 20 in which to ; regulate their position and obtain new exequaturs recognized by the soviet government. 'i li" annual yield of both milk and fill by a cow normally Increases form the first lactation until the is ma ture, ' The maximum yield la us ually reached at 7 to !l years of age. ( A dairy cow on the average an a 2 year old may be expected to produce about 7tl per cent; as a three year old around SO per cent; ;i:kI as a four year old about 90 per cent of the milk and butter fat she will produce under the same treat ment when mature. O. A. C. More than 9,500 farmers since the in con;im have placed their breed ing operations on a strictly purebred slre basis and are following the me thods leading to further improve ment, records of the United State? Department of Agriculture show. This has been a developement of approximately three years. At the present rate of enrollment the num ber will pass the 10,000 mark within 'he next three months. This number of livestock owners represents the ownership of more than one million head of stock, all of which is improv lg by the use of purebred sires. An additional Vequirenient fori enroll ment in the campaign is that sires must be of good quality in addition to being pure-bred. The department issues an attractive emblem of recog r.iiion to live-stock owners who co operate in this activity. AMERICAN SHIPS MAY SELL LIQUOR AT SEA Supreme Court Holds Dry Law Enforcement Ends at the Three-Mile Limit. Washington, D. C. Intoxicating liquors, even under seal, cannot law fully he brought in American or for eign ships within three miles of the shores of the United States, the su-ur.-ine court held In a decision which declared, however, that outside the three-mile limit American vessels can legally sell intoxicants to passengers. The right of foreign ships to do so had not been questioned. The effect of the decision was to affirm that of Federal Judge Hau I in New York insofar as it sustained the opinion of Attorney-General Daugh erty that intoxicants could not legally be brought into American ports and to reverse it with regard to the right of American vessels to have liquor aboard on the high seas and in foreign ports. The court pointed out specifically that congress has the power, if it sees fit to exercise it, to forbid all ships flying the American flag to carry and serve liquors outside the three mile limit. Although the question was not directly presented in any of the cases, the court completely interpreted that much-discussed question Of the -territorial jurisdiction of the United Statet It distinctly confined such jurisdictioi to three miles oftshore, holding tha the prohibition amendment and th. enforcement Ca uld be forced to that ex tent and to that extent alone, excep. that congress could, as stated, makt American ships dry at all times. Secretary I .Ikes Plan Secretary of Agriculture Wallace I has approved the divided-payment plan for the grazing fees on national forests where the amount due ex ceeds $10. The stocknun of the west have been hard hit in the recent business depression and many have failed. The national forests support and 18 per cent of the cattle graced in the eleven western range states. At a recent meeting of district for esiers at Ogden measures of relief were considered, as a result of which Chief Forester Greeley recommended I thai the users of the national foresl j range be allowed to make their pay ments in two equal parts, with in I tervals of six months between. Secre tary Wallace's approvel of the mea sure is for the 1923 season. umiiiMiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiimininiiimiiiii' The Austral an tcmato weevil (Desiantha nociva Lea) has bpen found by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture to be established : at a number of points along the coast of Mississippi in addition to' the pre vious inland infestation. It is now reported from five distinct places in Harrison county, and one in Jack on couty. This idicates that the origial introduction occurred presum ably at an earlier date than was here tofore supposed. As a prize for the township killing th? largest number of gophers, Lin den Township won a purebred Hol stein bull given by Cavalier county, N. Dakota, in its 1922 gopher cam paign, according to reports to the r,r,i!ed States Department of Agri culture. The gophers were well cleaned up, saving the county 410,000 bushels of grain on a conservative estimate, and every farmer in Linden Township has the privilege of breed ing to the bull for a small fee charged to help defray the expense of keeping him. The prize promises to be of much benefit to the dairy Industry of the township. FRENCH SEIZE RUHR COKE Five Hundred Furnaces Close Down; Baths and Industries Affected. Essen. A sweeping order, provi.l-! lug for the confiscation of all coke in the Ruhr was issued by General de Goutte, head of the occupation forces. ! All coke by-products are included ( in the order, which explains the action j is taken because Germany refused to fulfill the clause of the treaty of Ver sailles providing for deliveries of coal and coke and because there are indica tions that the available coke supply is diminishing. In consequence of this order, it was announced all public bathhouses in Essen, Bochum, Dortmund and other industrial cities in the Ruhr will be closed. About 600 furnaces already have been shut down and the German. say it is only a question of time when others, along with big manufacturing plants, will also close.

Control work against many insect pests centers about securing insect parasites which in themselves are not injurious. In the effort to obtain beneficial species of parasites to aid In the fight against the gipsy and hrowntail moths, the Bureau of En tomology of the United States De partment of Agriculture sends its scientific assistants to Europe to im port, breed and colonize beneficial European parasites of these two in sects in this country. Parasites of the gipsy moth are also obtained from Japan and shipped here to be propagated and distributed. Other parasites procured from Japan have been found useful in checking the Japanese beetle. The last shipment of th"e parasites arrived in December, 1922.
