CAMPAIGN FOR
CROSSING SAFETY
Pennsylvania Railroad to Post
Warnings For Autoisls;
Plan New System

The Pennsylvania Railroad will con-
vent grade crossing accidents. In
addition to the usual warning signs
posted 100 yards on each side of a
crossing, circulars will be distributed,
and posters placed in railroad sta
tions and along prominent highways.
One plan suggested by the safety
first committee which will probably
be taken up this year will be q series
of warning signs along highways,
touching grade crossings.
Cautlonary Signal
The first sign will be a cautionary
signal, telling of the near approach to
a crossing. The second requests auto
lists to stop, then look and listen; and
the third informs the drivers that the
crossing is 100 yards ahead. This
plan is similar to that adopted by
the Long Island Railroad which is
using large posters along highways,
reading as follows
Stop Before You Cross ..
I've know you want to help us.
I'VE tried hard last year to go
through the summer without fatal
automobile accident at grade cross
ing.
I'VE put up huge signs and we ad-
vertised extensively in the news
papers, warning people against reck-
less driving.
''As a result, no one was killed, but
there were several serious accidents
and many hairbreadth escapes.
I'VE are redoubling our efforts this
year. We hope to go through the sum-
mer without a single serious accident.
1--WE cannot do it without your help.
please! Stop Before You Cross"

DOES TILLING AID RAINFALL?
No More Moisture Could Be Evapo-
rated From Cultivated Soil Than
Had Already Fallen as Rain.

Many very optimistic persons have
been comforting themselves with the
idea that the arid conditions in the
West will be improved by increasing
rainfall as a result of tilling larger
acreage of land. Such persons claim
to have seen ] change in climate In
'KaLcas and Texas from this cause
However, the agricultural extension
service states that no more moisture
could be evaporated from the culti-
waited soil and crops than had already
fallen in the form of rain, which is
the only source Of moisture in re-
gion far from large bodies of water
Hence. the moisture thus given on
would not increase the rainfall. be-
cause the rainfall itself had not sup
piled the additional moisture in the
first place.
Weather records in the East kept
for over one hundred years show no
increase in rainfall during that time.
However, it is true that irrigation has
increased the local humidity of arid
valleys perceptibly. but this increase
in local humidity has not increased
the local rainfall The fact Is that
improved methods of moisture conser'
vation by tillage. the growing OF
drought-resistant crops and the plant
ing of trees has utilized more fully the
existing rainfall. so that flourishing
crops in place of barren plains give
tho oonorol improSciOn that the rain
fall has increased and the climate
changed
The arid-region farmer should utl
lie every source of moisture, includ
ing rainfall, flood waters and pumpee
water, to insure the success OF MS
crops. And then he should always
farm as if the next year were gong
to be the driest in the history OF this
region.

SUMMER FALLOW is FAVORED
Keep Land Free From Weeds During
Uncropped Season and TIL to Pre-
vent Formation Of Crust.

The success of dry farming has been
dependent on following out certain
we'll defined practices. One OF the
practices found most necessary is the
summer fallow, by which crops are
raised only during alternate years and
the land titled during the uncropped
summer in order to aid in holding the
moisture. Some farmers think tnat
if they leave the land uncropped tney
are doing all that is necessary. They
allow the weeds to grow in great pro-
fusion These remove much mois-
ture as crop, so nothing has really
been gained by the so-called fallow.
The only safe way is to keep the land
free from weeds during the uncropped
year and to till often enough to pre-
vent the formation of crust. Tillage
should begin early or the weeds can
not be killed by the harrow or disk.

SEED WHEAT BADLY DAMAGED
termination Tests Show Much of It
Is of Low Vitality-Make Selec-
tion With Unusual Care.

There is little or no seed wheat COM
ing into the markets owing to the
damage by dampness. 1t is moldy,
sprOuted, shrunken, rusted, smutted,
and much of it rotten. Reports of
heating in the bin come from every
direction. termination tests show
that much of the seed is of low vital
ity and should be selected with un-
usual care.
Therefore, it is necessary that every
farmer should test all seed grain for
vitality and every farmers club and
every commercial club in the winter
wheat belt must sound the alarm in
each locality and locate. good seed
which will grow. Select the variety
best adapted to the soil and climate
If it is necessary to import seed into
the country get as many as possible
to grow the same variety. Fan out
all trash, weed seeds and treat for
smut with formaldehyde.

Navajo county has one OF the
longest road systems in the state,
having about 600 miles surveyed
for public high ways. Road build
ing, however, is only in it's in
fancy and the highway is in great
need of Improvement. Other
counties have bonded for that
purpose and Navajo cannot well
afford to delay the development
of a good road system any longer.
1t is a standing joke that the
bounds of the county can be de-
termined by the condition of the
roads. No one in particular is
responsible forthis state of affairs
but it is a liability no county can
afford, and it is high time the
public was working up and cor
recting the mistake.
The only feasible way to raise
the money for the necessary i'm
provement is by bonding. A
commission should be appointed
to go over the roads and make
an estimate Of the minimum
amount of money that will be re-
quired to put them in first-class
condition. And as soon as the
required amount is ascertained,
bonds should be voted to raise
the necessary money.

A Paper for the Home Circle.
WHERE WE GET OFF

A few people seem to THINK
a country newspaper which has
attained a subscription list OF
: or 6 hundred subscribers is
making money hand over appe-
tite. and that the price of the
paper should be cut down to
that of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat or some other big
weekly. They do not stop to
consider that these great big
papers have lists of 100, ,OOO or
or more weekly subscribers, en-
abling them to be printed at a
small price, as the work OF get
ting out the weeklies is practl-
cally nil, they being made up
from their daily issues. 1t takes
about 8 or 10 years for the aver
age country newspaper to get
on it's feet"-that is, to where
it really becomes paying propo-
sition. The subscription list OF

why small papers are constantly

flung up one Of his windows and

VALUE OF BEET PULP RATION
Made at Massachusetts, Station
Gain Made In Weight.

In a test for five weeks conducted
by the Massachusetts station, six cows
were fed by the reversal method on
q ration Of hay, bran and ~cottonseed
meal to which was added 4.3 pounds
of either cornmeal or of beet pulp
daily. The herd lost in live weight 33
pounds on the cornmeal ration and
gained 81 pounds on the beet pulp ra-
ton.
There was no substantial variation
in the yield or average composition Of
the milk. 1t required for the cornmeal
ration 112 pounds of dry matter to pro-
duce 100 pounds Of milk and POSI-
pounds to produce one pound OF
milk fat. fol- the beet pulp ration
110.72 pounds and 20.54 pounds respec-
lively. In a similar experiment to the
above, molasses, beet pulp and corn
meal were compared.
The amounts of digestible nutrients
in each ration were approximately the
same. The herd gains were similar.
There was no wide variation in milk
yields and only a slight advantage in
the production Of milk-fat with the
corn meal ration.
1t required for the corr meal ra-
ton 104.4 pounds of milk, and 1872
pounds to produce one pound Of fat;
for the molasses beet pulp ration
1851 and 1887 pounds, respectively.
