GOTHAM AROUSED
BY FOOD COSTS
DISTRIBUTING STATIONS TO BE
ESTABLISHED TO ELIMINATE
PRIMARY CHARGES

tBy Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. ga central
market so located that steamships
could load directly under its roof and
with connecting spurs for railroads,
was advocated today by John ].
Dillon. commissioner of the state de-
partment of food and markets, as the
most practicable means of combating
the high cost of living here.
BY eliminating the excessive cost
of handling and rehandling food prod
ucts, Mr.. Dillon said 1t was his belief
the prevailing prices for food com.
modities would be materially reduced
Pending the necessary regulations for
the establishment of the central mar.
ket, Mr. Dillon suggested that co
operative organization be formed at
once to finance three stores In diff
ferent parts Of the city. These stores,
he asserted. would receive their sup
plies directly from the producers and
sell directly to members of the CO
operative organization at cost.
That the problem here has become
acute was further emphasized by
Deputy Assistant Attorney Mako
WITT. He announced he was pre-
pairing to submit to the grand jur.
evidence he has collected concerning
the increased cost Of poultry. So fa
as the producer is concerned, Mr.
Markowitz declared, he has been un
| able to find any reasonable excuse fo
the advance. The producer price fo
the last six months, he added, has no
been changed, although housewives
now are paying from four to fiv,
cents pound for poultry.

COLOR BLINDNESS.
The Incident That Opened John Dal.

y
toms Eyes to His Affliction.
John Dalton, the famous English
chemist and natural philosopher, with
out whose discovery Of the laws of
chemical combination chemistry as an
exact science could hardly exist, was
wholly color bliEd. His knowledge of
the fact came about by happening of
the sort which we call chance. On his
mothers birthday, when he was'a man
Of twenty-six, he took her a pair Of
stockings which he had seen In shop
window, labeled, silk, the newest
fashion"
"Thee hast bought me pair of grand
hose, John" said the mother but
what made thee fancy such a bright
color? Why, can never show myself
at meeting In them"
John was much disconnected, but he
told her that he considered the stock
ings to be of very proper go to meet
ing color, as they were dark blush
drab.
"Why, they're as red as cherry,
Johnv' was her astonished reply.
Neither be nor his brother, Jonathan
could see anything but drab In the
stockings, and they rested In the be
lief that the good wife's eyes were out
of order until she, having consulted
various neighbors, returned with the
verdict, "varra fine STUFF, but uncom
mon scarcity"
The consequence was that John Dial
ton became the first to direct the at
tention of the scientific world to the
subject OF color blindness.

tract disease. However. there are many
advantages to be derived from wallows.
A cool bath is very soothing to hog
during the hot weather. 1t cleans the
scurf from the skin and protects the
hogs from flies. Crude oil. sufficient to
form a thin layer on top OF the water
may be poured into the wallow about
every ten days. This will tend to keep
the hogs free from lice and other skin
parasites. If the skin becomes irri-
tated from the oil. its use should be
discontinued, Small quantities of coal
tar dip are sometimes added. to the

ON some of the larger hog farms

Of Marking Concrete

There's just one thing that will
really waterproof concrete" says J. b.
KirSham. concrete expert at Iowa

cation of Cunningham mixture, which
is not extensively used IN Iowa and
about which builders are peculiarly
ignorant"
The mixture is made by heating thin
coal tar, the cheaper the better. TO
boiling; to a bucketful at time pour
one-eightll part of kerosene, but be
sure not to stand close in the pouring
process. Then stir in one eighth part
of neat cement. Apply mixture with
a brush to the concrete slab to be
waterproofed. 1t will penetrate to

also dissolve out and leave the con-

Adding more cement. of course,
makes the concrete more waterproof
and If an external waterprooffng mix
ture is not applied it is the best
method OF waterproofing. There is a
limit to the amount that can be added.

Make Excellent Combination Produc-
ing Larger Yields.
A mixture Of oats and Canadian held
peas makes one of the best hay crops
which can be seeded and harvested in
the same season.
The mixture will produce larger
yields than either crop seeded alone.
Peas. being legume, make the hay
richer for feeding purposes than oats
alone and improve the soil Also. the
oats support the pea vines so that
harvesting is much easier. g.
The mixture should be sown two to
three inches deep at rate Of two
bushels oats and one bushel peas per
acre Use OF the grain drill is the best
way to seed the crop. but IL drill Is
not available the seed may be broad
casted and covered with a disc or mar
row. Sow at oat seeding time or as
early in spring as land can be pre-
pared. .t'

DISC CAT LAND BEFORE SOWING.
Is as important an Item as Early Seed
ing Of Crop.

Altho it is most important to sow
oats early. yet no matter how they are
sown the seed bed should be well pre-
pared by disciBg, say the farm crops
men at Iowa State College.
II oats are to be drilled it is best
to disc twice and then harrow before
sowing. On hard ground three disc
ings may be needed. DiscinG cuts up
the stalks and mikes them with the
soil, They win decay more quickly
and the drill Will work better. Going
over the ground once and tapping the
disc half leaves the surface level.
II oats are to be broadcasted they
can be better covered If the ground is
disced at least once before sowing. It
is also advised to disc once after SOW
ing followed by the harrow. A heavy
growth OF stalks or hard ground may
require two disCings.

Prevent Land WASHING,

On sloping land try planting and
cultivating across the slope where
possible in order to reduce soil wash
ing. When corn is drilled with the
slope burrows are made which are
sure to increase washing While
checked corn is usually preferred by
the best farmers on land that is not
subject TO washing. 1t is usually more
important on rolling land to cultivate
in one direction only. and tina, around
the slope. The greatest damage Is
done on steep slopes because the faster
the flow of water the greater the
amount of soil it will carry away. If
you double the rate of flow of water,
it will more than double the amount Of
soil removed.

REsEED PASTURES AND MEADOW
Stand Can Thus Be Thiekened This
Sprino

Pastures and meadows which are
failing can be made more productive
by seeding early this spring. Thin
stands not only decrease the yields of
pasture or hay. but also give noxious
weeds a better chance TO get started.
The best method of improving such
fields. says the farm crops department
at Ames, is to scatter a mixture of
timothy and clovers early this spring,
using one-third to one half the amount
OF seed per acre recommended for new
seedlings. \ disc drill is good for this
purpose. permitting the seed to fail in
tO the gashes made by the discs. If
a drill is not available the ground
should be disced, the seed hroadcasteG
and then narrowed. Manure applied
at his time will increase the growth.
