TO PROVIDE EQUIPAGE
FOR RURAL CARRIERS
Representative Smith of Idaho
Would Allow IS Per Cent
Of Salaries. ~. 49,

A bill to reimburse rural delivery car
riers for expenses incurred in providing
and maintaining their equipment used in
carrying the mails, particularly in view
of the large amount of parcel post pack
ages they must carry, was introduced in
the House today by Representative Ad-
Olson T. Smith Of Idaho. The bill pro-
vides that the carriers shall be allowed
an amount equal to % per cent of their
monthly salaries for this purpose. Dis
cussing his bin. Mr.. Smith said today:
1T Is not surprising that the parcel post
system is being managed at a profit to
the government, in view of the fact that
no provision is being made for trans
portation equipments for the rural deliv-
cry carrier. In my Judgment. there is no
good reason why rural carriers should
not be furnished with ample equipment to
transport the mails. inasmuch as their
present salary does not afford them more
than a living.
Many of the city carriers are provided
with conveyances in collecting and de-
livering the mails. but the rural carrier
is expected to provide his own equip
ment. Now that the regulations have
been amended so as to provide that pack
ages weighing UP to fifty pounds shall
have entry to the mails at parcel post

MOUNT RAINIER. January Il. 1914.
This town. the youngest municipality
in Princes Georges county claims the dis
tinction, unusual if not unique among
Incorporated towns or villages of the
country, of having not single de-
linouent taxpayer within its bounda-
ries. The town also lays claim to an
other distinction, in that its municipal
debt is exactly $35, and even this. it
is claimed, is not legally chargeable to
the town.
IT was found last May that a large
number of residents of Mount Rainier
were from q year to five years oehlno
in the payment of their taxes and
come we're found who had never PAID
nenny of taxes during their residence
in the town. A debt Of S70O was also
shown by the towns books.
Under the provisions OF the law
Mayor William H. Vanneman proceed
Cd TO advertise for sale the property
of the delinquent taxpayers.
Hurry to Pay Taxes.
AS a result the delinquents fairly
stumbled over each other in their
haste to pay up. January l it was
found that every person living within
the corporate limits of Mount Rainier had
cleared off his or her tax Indebtedness
The towns debt Of $500 has also been
paid. with the exception of the item
Of s35, the legality of which is ques-
toned.
Mount Rainier has population OF
about $500, and the number Of homes

some provision to be made for the relief
of the rural carriers, inasmuch as they
must procure larger and stronger equip

Not only the retail merchant avails him

but the manufacturer Is shipping into the
rural sections his products. which here

Care Should Be Permanent.

I'VE should secure legislation whereby.
whenever inmates of institutions for
other classes are found to be feeble
minded. they may be kept permanently
In public care.
I'VE should provide by law for the
establishment Of separate departments
or colonies in connection with prisons
and with adult and juvenile reforma-
tories.
I'VE should convert existing institu-
tons which are no longer needed for
their present purposes into state insti-
tutions for defective delinquents.
We should undertake a comprehen-
sive campaign for the care of all fee
ble-minded girls OF collaborating age
The problem of the feeble-minded girl is
much more acute than that Of the fee
ble-minded boy. If society will take care
of the feeble-minded girls of child-bear-
ing age we shall soon see a visible de-
crease in the number Of defective delin-
quents.'

JANUARY WORKING CALENDAR
Good Time to Mate Breeding Pens to
Insure Fertility by Spring-Clean-
Illness of Importance.

Begin trap nest records so that you
may know the individual value of
each hen on the place.
Start an account with the hens.
Now is a good time to mate your
breeding pens to insure good fertil-
ity by spring.
During inclement weather keep the
fowls indoors, and If you have pre-
pared scratching sheds or places for
them, you will be surprised how little
difference confinement makes to their
health or product.
Hens compelled to go out in the
snow, and hug the corners Of build
ings to keep warm, are profit
able. That is why so many farmers
fowls do not lay in winter.
Perfect cleanliness is especially
necessary during the winter, as the
hens will not thrive if they must in
hale foul air. Clean up the ~droppings
each day, and thoroughly disinfect the
houses once a week.
Keep up the supply of fresh water,
and several times a day look after the
vessels to SEQ that the water does
not freeze.
During severe weather it is a good
plan to water several times a day,
throwing away the water an hour or
so after given to them. II the houses
are singly built, watering twice a day
will be sufficient.
Keep the floors heavily Uttered so
that the hens will be busy the whole
day. A busy hen is always in the best
of health.
At night give a more or less liberal
amount of corn especially during very
cold weather, as this will add heat to
their bodies. Corn digests slowly and
SO long as there is food in the crop OF
the fowl it will not freeze.

Locating Farm Land.

The prospective farmer can usually
get information about the lands in any
of the states by addressing the state
commissioner OF immigration and agri-
culture at the state capital. Several
of the eastern states maintain a list
of farms for sale, and this list usu-
ally gives a good deal of information
about various farms. One a also
secure a good deal of information by
addressing a request to the industrial
department of any of the large rail-
road corporations. The prospective
purchaser, however, is strongly urged
not to buy land without seeing it and
making inquiries amongst neighbor-
ing farmers.

RETAIN THE SOIL MOISTURE
Conservation Of Water Is Quite Inn
portant Factor in Growing Large
Crops of the Small Fruits.

Conservation of soil moisture ! re-
gard as the most important of all the
factors having to do with the produc-
ton of large crops of small fruits.
Under present methods the question of
weeds does not concern me at all, for
in the process Of ideal maintenance
tillage weed growth is suppressed in
its infancy. The only time that weed
growth is likely to prove a factor OF
any considerable consequence is dur
ing seasons of extremes in precipita-
ton and, in the case of strawberries,
during the blooming and fruiting sea-
sons, says q writer in the Horticul
turist.
During the first years Of my expert
ence as a grower of strawberries !
thought that the n great purpose of
cultivation was to kill weeds. Since
that time the weed question has been
eliminated as a factor of Importance in
fruit-growing operations.
Where the dust mulch is zealously
maintained there is little chance for
weeds. A few may escape, but such
are easily disposed of.
The plan or methods Of culture
followed has much to do with the ease
earth mulch. That method which per-
mits of the stirring Of the greatest
amount of surface with horse-drawn
tools is the methods the most to be
desired.
II is essential that this mulch be
maintained close around each indi-
vidual plant, for If this is not done the
aggregate area thus left open to sur
face evaporation is considerable.
Then, too. the moisture content of the
soil directly under the mulched sur
face is considerably reduced by capil-
larry action of water toward the dried
soil under the unmulched surface.
Close around the plants the soil
should not be stirred to a greater
depth than one inch. One-half even
will work wonders in conserving soil
moisture.
How frequently should cultivation
be given? This depends somewhat
upon the nature of the soil, and fire.
quency of showers. AS a rule, once
a week will be sufficient. In case OF
showers, the ground should be gone
over as soon as the soil is dry enough
to permit of cultivation. Where show
ers are of daily or frequent occur
renee this rule cannot be followed. II
then becomes a question of Judgment
with an element of luck, perhaps, as
to which shower is to be the last.
