THE RIGHTS AND
WRONGS OF CHILDHOOD
The state promntlv lntervpn...
when a plague strikes anv section nf
the land, though plagues usually die
out with the coming of the winter
months. Little is then said in de
fense of state rights, for national
health and security are at stake.
Child-labor is a plague that smites
its immediate victims and strikes at
the heart of the whole nation twelve
months in the year. It is a problem
of the nation, a problem to be met
with courage and wisdom and pre
vision. Democracy and relielon must
unite for the protection of the chil.i
I In a monarchy men are subject to a
l king's will. In a democracy the
child is the object of the govern
; merit's concern. The church of yes
terday persists In childish rites; the
church of tomorrow will insist upon
the rights of the child. This is the
children's hour between the dark
and the daylight the darkness of
tmmrens wrongs that Is passing,
and the daylight of children's rights'
that is dawning. Stephen S. Wise,
Ph. p., i the Pacific Monthly for
August.

In connection with the forest

is now going on for the nrot eet Ion

ous plant Investigations on the vari
ous national forests are being con
tinued during the present senson
For several years the Forest Service,
in co-operntlon with the Bureau of
m i
M,u ministry, has been making
poisonous plant investigations on th
national forests which have been of
distinct value to stockmen. Whii,.
the number of such Investiirntloiw u
of necessity limited, every effort is
made to give prompt attention tn
i '.. itn
localities wnere great or unusual
losses of stock have occurred.
The annual loss from poisonous
Plants in many localities is quite
heavy and some ranges are becoming
practically useless on account of
these plants, or if used the losses
by death are so heavy as to material
ly cut into the profits of the business.
While no general plan of ridding
the range of these plants has yet
been devised, It has been possible
by close study of a poison range to
determine the particular species of
Plant responsible for the trouble.
Many times an exhaustive study of
the plant, has proved that It occurs

been found to be almost harmless at

All instance of the benefit of these

year among sheep being taken over

gry sheep browsed as tliev passed
over the trail. Having determined
the species of plant, responsible for
the losses, the remedy was simple
but effectual. Certain portoH f
of the old trail were abandoned m.,i
along other portions the i bokei,,., ,-,.
bushes were cut out. The n.,.H.m!
of handling the sheep was also
changed. Instead of large bands,
which could bo moved but slowlv
smaller bands were trailed, and so
far as possible they were allowed to
fill up on healthy forage before en
tering the dangerous area. The
trail was also Improved wherever
practicable and by this means It was
possible to Ket the sheep through In
much better Khape and with little or
no loss.
Areas where poisonous nlants am
particularly plentiful are "fliiKged"
by the forest rangers ho that tlm
herders muy have warning of their
condition, and where the area In
volved Is not too great in extent,
fences are built around them ho that
stock like horses and cattle could
not reach thetn. U s believed that
some of these poisonous planls can
be i hoked out by planting cerlaln
