years I., the forecast of the United
State Department of Agriculture
in its mid-summer sheep and wool
outlook report.
The department says that lamb
| production is at high level and poor
range is expected to cause western
[ sheepmen to market more than the
usual proportion of the lamb crop
and to hold hack fewer ewe lambs
for breeding. The report also states
that world production continues
large and the clip this year is not
expected to be much different from
the record clip of 1928. The increase
in the United States clip over that
of last year amounts to abut 25,-
000,000 pounds, or 7 per cent.

The United States Department
of Agriculture is planning an in-
tensive campaign of information
ami demonstration to aid livestock
owners in controlling infestations
of liver flukes thut have injured
large numbers of sheep, goats and
cattle in the West and Southwest.
In order to multiply, this internal
parasite must si>end part of its life
in snails, which frequent overflow
lands, stagnant buck wuters, pools,
marshes and similar wet places, ac-
cording to the departmental inves-
tigators, who point out that this
offers the most convenient time for
attacking the flukes.
Recently, effective methods have
been developed for eradicating
flukes from animals and for de-
stroying the snails which live in or
near water and are resj onsible for
the spread of the flukes. The cam-
paign will first be conducted in
California, Arizona, Nevada, Wash-
ington and Idaho, and will later lie
expanded to include about 15 other
states.
A mimeographed circular on liver
flukes and fluke diseases has been
prepnred ns one feature of ihe de-
partment's informational work. The
circular discusses losses caused by
this parasitic worm, describes

gests treatment for infested ani-
mals. As the most important con-
trol measure, it urges particularly
the destruction of snails, which are
hosts of intermediate stages of the
fluke.
Liver flukes are not only espec-
ially injurious to sheep and goats,
hut also affect cattle. They are
flat, leaf-shaped, and pale brown
in color, and live in the bile ducts
of the liver, usually remaining
there from 9 to J2 months.

couched in a patronizing manner,
saying that New York’s interests
would be carefully watched. The
governor thereupon gave his letter
out to the papers, letting the pub-
lic judge as to the merits of the
controversy. The net result has
been to make it appear that Mr.
Hoover is using the project as a
political fooball, the one point he
tried to avoid by handling the situ-
ation in an informal way. The fault
is laid at the door of one of Mr.
Hoover’s advisers but, politicians
here say, it will not aid Mr. Hoover
when he asks for votes from New
York’s upstate farmers.

The entire country is watching
Governor Roosevelt's other contro-
versy. the one with Tammany. The
latter demands that the legislative
inquiry now on foot, uncovering
Tammany’s political sins, be en-
larged to cover the entire state,
and particularly the upstate repub-
lican cities. The Tiger hoped to stall
off action by the state legislature,
which has been called into an extra
session with the aim of increasing
the powers of the inquisitors. It
looks as if the governor’s action
would result in adding to the
troubles of Tammany and reprisals
on Mr. Roosevelt, are being expect-
ed by the politicians. The governor
is gaining prestige nationally by
this controversy and observers
