BAD CEMENT.

There Is probably nothing used today
so easily made good or bad as cement,
and contractors may be relied upon to
not put any more cement into 1oo
than they are paid for. or than watch
full inspection and chemical test will
enforce.
In the end, there is no test for ce-
ment but the chemical test, and that
should be applied to every job where a
specified proportion of cement is de-
manded. 1t goes without saying that
amount to anything where the proper
ton and quality of cement are not spe-
officially set forth.
The contractor who laid footing for
the foundation Of the college of liberal
arts at Iowa City was compelled to
tear 1t all out. a!tho it almost took
dynamite to do it, because the test
showed that he had skimped on ce-
ment.
There is no reason why the cement
pavements and roadways In Des
Moines should be peeiing and crum-
bling any more than why the cement
sioewa lks down town should be peeling
and crumbling. The cement has not

GOODBYE. PECK MEASURE.
rroc NJoipeS CaDitall

1t will take some time to become ac-
customed to buying all dry measure
articles by weight. But weight is the
honest system and both producer and
consumer will be benefited IL the long
run The farmer will get paid for the
total amount ne offers for sale and the
buyer will not get cheated by false
boxes. incorrect measures or pay for
the air spaces. A bushel Of potatoes
sold by weight is sure to be bushel.
Potatoes sold by the bushel measure
may cheat the seller or the buyer. The
same is true Of apples, and almost all
products which have usually been sold
by the quart, peck, half bushel or
bushel. Buyers will soon become ia
mil.ar with weights and the Jumping
it off" plan will be abandoned. Then
trade in such products will put on as
accurate a basis as figuring interest
on loan. In a few years the peck
measure will be relic like the cradle
or the spinning wheel.

Farmers Praise Harris
Pure Fertilizer Law

Atlanta, April g. Farming
and fertilizer conditions in Geor-
gia, reflected in reports to the
state department of agriculture,
show that Georgia's pure fertili-
ger bill is accomplishing some
what the same thing for the acres
of Georgia that the pure food law
is accomplishing for the stomachs
of the nation.
Reports to the state depart
ment show that the sale of fer
tilizer tags this year will equally
be as large, and will probably ex-
coed that of any preceding year.
Trading in fertilizer materials has
been particularly brisk during
the past two or three weeks.
The weather is as fine as could
be asked for blowing, and a great
amount of fertilizer is being used
in every part of the state.
The law under which fertilizer
is now made and sold in Georgia
is the measure of Senator w. j.
Harris, of Cedartown, and which
earned for him the appellation of
Pure Fertilizer Harris" TIE
measure is operating successfully
and has proven a splendid safe
guard for the farmers. Many
of them have written Senator
Harris, saying that the passage
of this one bill alone would be
sufficient to make his service to
the state notable.
The pure fertilizer law requires
that each sack of fertilizer shall
be distinctly labeled showing just
exactly what proportion of the
contents is true fertilizer material
and what proportion of it is q
worthless filler.

Cold Weather For
Week Is In Sight

Washington, D. c., April 81
Moderately cool weather will pre-
vail the greater part of the week
in the northwestern states and
early in the week throughout the
north central and eastern states
with temperatures averaging
near normal throughout the south
and southwest, according to the
weather bureaus weekly bulletin.
"Frosts are probable Monday
and Tuesday in the region of the
Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley
and Tuesday and Wednesday in
the North Atlantic states" the
bulletin said. The precipitation
during the week will be generally
below normal. A disturbance of
moderate intensity that is now in
the northwest will move slowly
eastward, crossing the great cen
trail valleys about Thursday and
the eastern states near the end
of the week. 1t will be preceded
by warmer weather and local
showers and thunderstorms and
be followed by colder weather
over the northern half of the
country.
Another disturbance will ap-
pear in the far west about Thurs
day and prevail over the middle
west at the close of the week.

Grade Crossing Law
Will be Worked Out

Atlanta, Ga.-The railroads of
Georgia will be asked to cooper
ate with the legislature in franz
ing an intelligent and effective
Embarrassing that will work no
unreasonable hardship on the
roads and will fully protect the
public.
The legislature will not take up
the Embarrassing legislation in
a spirit of antagonism to the
roads, but it will insist that dan
gerous crossings be changed.
A proposition under considera-
ton in eliminating the grade
crossing is to divide the expenses
between the roads and the terri
tory that will be benefited by
the changes.

Progress At TaI!uIah

Atlanta April 28.-Members of
the State Railroad Commission
have just returned from TaIlulah
Falls where they viewed the won
derful power development now in
progress. They consider the work
that is now going on there a strong
illustration OF the difference be-
tween useless reservation and true
conservation, as recently set out
by the new attitude of the Nation
a! Conservation Congress. II e Ma
tional Congress has recently issued
statement explaining its position
on conservation, and declaring that
in future "the natural resources OF
the country must be developed and
mot neld in reservation. +"
1t is a source of qualification to
the members of the railroad COM
mission that the view they took
of this development, though Bit
terlv criticised by few extremists
in the conservation ranks in Geor-
gia, is justified by the formal ut
terances of the larger organization.
Georgia economists are already
beginning to estimate the wonder
full value of the Tallulah develop
ment in building up industries and
declare that it will eventually be
worth even more to the people
of Georgia and to the common
wealth than to the developers
themselves. Atlantians who have
seen the gorge recently agree that
while the landscape has been
charged, its beauty has not been
married.

Important DeSiCiOn
From The Court
Of Appeals.

Atlanta, Ca, April 28-The
State Court of Appeals has just
handed down an important decision
bearing on the relation of the
farmer to the hired man and crop
per. 1t is decision in which com
mon sense and equity happen to go
hand in hand with the technical
law. The substance of the decision
is that if a farm err hires a man un-
der contract as cropper, and the
man leaves. and his wife and chill
dren carry out the contract. the
employer cannot plead no liability
because the contract was made
with the husband and father.
This decision was rendered in
the case of Mrs. F. E. Randall VS..
Mrs. Emma Daniel, sent up from
the city court of Reidsville. The
higher court decision affirms the
action of the lower court.

This false idea, that because
animals will live through the win
ter without feeding and that be-
cause of our mild winters we do
not need to feed or do something
ourselves to supply feed for live
stock except for about three win
ter months, is largely responsible
for our failures in attempts to
raise animals of size and high
quality. Our longer growing seas
onsand mild climate are advantages
only if we make use of them. They
will enable US to grow more feed,
but if we do not grow this feed
these so-called advantages result
in material disadvantages. TAFT
