State Engineer Asks For Big ApDrO-

Government Does

The state highway department will
ask the Legislature to appropriate 81,

winter, it has been announced by e.
NJ. Booth, state highway engineer The
proposed appropriation would cover 81
period of two years, giving the depart

work
In the next two years the federal
government will put up $272,000 for
the building of post roads in Idaho
The state must meet the appropria-
tions dollar for dollar, Booth says
The forest service has appropriated

LONDON, Dec 13.-The terms UPON
which the Allies will enter into ne
gotiations for peace, the United Press
learned from various sources this af-
ternoon, will require Germany to make
the following concessions:
Evacuation and restoration of Bel
gium, northern France, Poland, Serb

for devastation in those countries
the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to
France; concessions to Russia of GER
tain rights in the ConstantinOple
straits, and indemnity ship for ship OF
all Russian vessels destroyed; ade-
quate punishment of all officers re-
sponsible for German atrocities.
Although unofficial, this informa-
ton it is believed, represents the con-
cessions which the Allies will require.
In all quarters it is emphasized that
the only possible negotiable peace
questions will concern the disposition
of captured German colonies, and the
limitation of Germany's future arma-

POCATELLO, Ida, Dec. 13.-Pursu-

of the state legislature a bill repeating
the public utilities act
Speaking of his proposed action, he
said: "It is true that l intend to in

utilities commission in accordance

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles
At any reliable druggists get a jar
of Resinol Ointment and a cake OF
Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex-
pensive. With the ResinoT Soap and
warm water battle the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on thin layer of
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
light bandage-if necessary to pro
tect the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

DEFINITION OF PERFECT SOIL
Sand, Clay, Lime and Organic Matter
Are Named as Necessary lngredi-
ents by Ohio Expert.

Prof. Alfred Vivian. head of the de-
partment Of agricultural chemistry of
Ohio State university. defines a per-
feet soil as "one which contains the
ingredients in perfect proportions;
sand. to enable it to absorb air and
moisture in proper amounts and to
render it warm and friable; clay, to
keep it cool. and prevent a too rapid
teaching or evaporation of water;
lime, to assist in the decay of vege-
table matter, and organic matter to
retain the best amount Of moisture
and to furnish material for the vari-
Gus chemical processes continually
going on in good Soils"

BUILDING A POULTRY HOUSE
Extreme open-Front Structure Fur
nishes Ideal conditions-Roost-
ing Closet Desirable.

A house with large area of glass
and no muslin has a high moisture
content and low temperature, accom-
panied with rapid changes. An ex-
IRENE open-front house furnishes ideal
conditions, providing the birds are pro-
tected from rain, snow and drafts.
A house, the front of which contains
some muslin and glass is very eff
cient type. Hollow tile construction
makes very desirable house, but it is
doubtful whether at the present prices
of tile and mason labor the resulting
increased cost warrants its use. A
roosting closet with double walls is
desirable in shed-roof laying houses.
The providing of ample means OF
properly ventilating shed-roof, paper
covered houses adds greatly in reduc-
ing temperature during spring and
summer. Tongued and grooved boards
for the outside wall when covered
with a layer of building paper are
reasonable in cost and supply in a
great measure the nonradiating quail
ties OF double wall.

however, the soil is deficient in lime
the plant, though appearing fair in
the fall, may lack the vigor to go
through even a reasonably mild win
ter. Two mistakes are often made,
and these should be guarded against.
The young clover should not be pas
tured closely in the fall, nor should it
be allowed to seed. Last fall, owing
to the favorable summer young clover
was found poisoning and seeding in
many fields. This is bad because it
weakens the plants and increases the
number of clover-seed insects, the late
broods finding these flower heads
fine place in which to lay eggs which
hatch into larvae, many of which may
live over the next. winter.
Provided there is lime and phos-
phorus enough in the land, second
year clover should give little trouble
unless attacked by root borers or 9TH
er insects. There are leaf-eating in
sects that do damage locally and some
fungi have been known to kill whole
fields or to reduce yields, but the in
sects working on the roots probably
give more trouble than other insects
or than diseases. When a field be-
comes infested with root-eating in
sects there is nothing to do but plow
it up. The fact that insects and dis
eases of all kinds increase in clover
fields is one of the best reasons why
such field should not be kept longer
than two years.
The principles OF successful clover
growing may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Give the clover a chance to make a
healthy plant by adding lime, phos-
phorus and potash to soils that need
them. In some way add vegetable
matter to the soil and keep up the
supply by turning under clover often
enough.
Give the seed fair chance by plac-
ing it in mellow soil and covering it
from one-half to one inch deep.
If sown with nurse crop, give the
young plants chance by not seed
ing the grain crop too thickly, by top
dressing with manure if practicable,
and by cutting the stubble as high as
possible.

ment of Agricultural
Red clover is commonly seeded with
small grain which is called the nurse
crop. This nurse crop serves two
functions, it keeps the weeds down and
it produces a money crop while the
clover is making its first years
growth. Whether it is wise to use a
nurse crop depends on so many things
that it cannot be discussed within the
limits Of a brief article; it has been
abundantly shown, however, that If
weeds are kept down by clipping, the
clover will make better growth when
sown alone than when with nurse
crop. In dry seasons the nurse crop
is pretty certain to cause the death
of the clover by taking all the mois-
ture and then leaving the young plants
exposed to the heat of a July or Au-
gust sun when in weakened condi-
ton by reason of the lack of mois-
ture. II nurse crop is used care

and leave the soil dry at harvest time.
OF the small grains rye shades the
ground the least and oats the most
and these crops represent both ex-
tremes of disturbances so far as red
clover is concerned. The most fire.
quent causes of the death of young
clover are the drought and heat to
which the plants are subjected upon
the removal of the grain crop. The
amount of injury caused will, Of
course, depend on the season.
Injury will also be worse on soils
deficient in humus since these run to-
gether and dry out more than soils
having plenty of organic matter. Top
dressing the fields with manure during
late winter is as good a preventive of
this danger as can be suggested. The
manure will not only prevent loss of
moisture but will furnish plant food
for the young clover, making stronger
plants, better able to Withstand
drought. It is also advisable to leave
the grain stumble as long as possible
SO as to afford shelter to the young
plants.
If there is good stand Of clover on
a field in September and October
there is every reason to expect a good
stand in spring, barring, of course,
most unusual weather conditions. II,
