SETTLERS LOSE FEDERAL LANDS IFROMFAILURES Lack of Production Causes Tracts to Revert to Government. BY MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.— Uncle Sam’s great “farm” of 195,000,000 acres in the West is getting bigger and less valuable at the same time. The “public domain" is land held by the Government and open for settlement. Due to failure of settlers, this great area lying mostly in the eleven western States is increasing. In 1925 it included 183,743,949 acres. In 1926 it embraced 195,043,294 acres. Because oi sheep grazing and unregulated trampling by cattle herds the range is becoming less productive of grass each year. Four suggestions have been made to meet the problem of the deterioration of the public domain. They are: Offer T. That the Government should turn these lands over to the States; 2. That the Government should cell them.in large tracts to private Individuals; 3. That the Government should lease them in large tracts; 4. That the Government should set them aside as it does the national forests, improve them and regulate their use. The last plan is considered the Jnost feasible. Near State of Ruin , “The public lands must be controlled, and that at once, if they are to be saved from absolute ruin,” said William Bailey of Utah, expresident of the National Tax Association. “The best method to control them is still a problem, however.” Here arc the public domain acreages in the various western States: State Acres Arizona California 20.667,431 Colorado <.398.407 Idaho 10.990.470 Montana rS’Sof’SnJ New Mexico 16.399.031 Oregon 13.256,430 Utah 26.872.218 Washington 896.207 Wyoming 19.849.762 STUDY PEACH DISEASES Experts Will Tour Georgia to Inspect Curative Methods. Bii Srimre Sere ire WASHINGTON, May 11.—Members of the American Phytopathologies! Society, who are specialists • in the study of the diseases of plants, plan to make a three-day trip through the famous Georgia peach region, to see the latest things in peach ailments and the methods used to cure them. The party will assemble at the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station on July 11. There they will see the research work being conducted not only on peach diseases, but on the ills of cotton, peanuts and other southern crops. On the following day they will drive to Ft. Valley to see the work of the United States Peach Insect and Disease Laboratory. On July 13 they will witness an airplane attack on the insects of a pecan grove, using a poison dust in lieu of the gas employed in warfare of a more serious sort.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CORINTH GREW FROMQUAKES Moved to New Ground in 1858: Now Levelled Again. It ii Science Service WASHINGTON, May 11.—The city of Corinth, completely shaken to pieces by earthquakes in April, had its beginning as the result of an earthquake. . Ruins of the modern Corinth lie three miles away from the ruins of the famous old Corinth of classic Greek fame. Old Corinth suffered from earthquakes at intervals in its history, and in 1858 it was so completely leveled by the rocking of the earth that the people moved to new ground and built anew city.. Now, the new city is so badly wrecked that hope of salvaging any of its houses is practically given up. Reports from the ancient city indicate that the shocks there have not been serious, so that, the task of archaeologists who arc excavating there will not be made more difficult than it is now. Ancient Corinth already is buried under forty feet of soil and debris. The city was sacked and razed by the Romans and then a century later was rebuilt by Julius Ceasar, and from time to time in its history the city was a storm center familiar with warfare and invasions and new buildings set over the ruins of the old. * Archaeologists have removed thousands of tons of earth to reach a theater or villa buried forty feet deep, and some of the most remarkable wall paintings of Greece has been discovered lately by the digging.
