Japanese Cotton Industry.

The export Of cotton piece goods
from Japan has greatly increased
since the war, according to the British
consul at Osaka. The mills are re-
ported to have made big profit in the
sale Of shirtings and drills. From May,
1915, the diminution in stocks In
Shanghai created demand for Japa-
ncsc goods, which increased steadily
during the year. Tho mills, however,
adopting the view that prices would go
higher, showed no anxiety to push
sales. This attitude appears to have
been justified ~ results. 1t Is reported
that at the beginning Of 1916 the mills
were In the comfortable position Of
having sold their output for six months
ahead, and there is q general impress
sion that the position thus gained in
the cotton piece goods markets Of
China and India Is ono which will be
held.

In expanding money raised by the
sale Of highway bonds, highway com
missioners should distinguish care
fully between the permanent and the
perishable features of the road.
foundations, drainage structures,
alignment and grades are in general
fairly permanent features which
should be looked upon in the light of
an investment. If these features do
not comply with a certain standard,
it will be poor economy to spend
money on transitory improvements
such as hard surfaces, which must, at
considerable expense, be renewed
year to year. In the same way, it is
manifestly poor policy to build an ex-
pensive surface on defective grades
with poor alignments and short-lived
drainage features.
Even when, much of the money ex-
pended upon a highway has gone into
the permanent features, there is still
danger that the cost of repairs and
maintenance will be overlooked, or at
least sighted, in the calculations of
the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money it is, of
course, especially important to avoid
this error. On the other hand, how
ever, it is not necessary to regard the
total cost of surfacing a road as
temporary Improvement. Much of the
surfacing may be classed as per-
manent investment, for it is becom-
ing more and more common to have
surfaces built in two courses, the
lower of which is as much a perman-
ent feature of construction as the
grading itself. This is particularly
true of those types of road that are
built with concrete foundations for
bituminous macadam, brick or asp
halt surfaces. 1t is probably conser-
vative to regard 40 per cent of the
frst-construcfon cost of macadam
or more enduring pavements as
permanent investment. 1t is seldom
nowadays that hard roads are per-
mitted to wear into the foundation
course of the surfacing.
Where proper maintenance is as
sured it is safe to say that an aver
age of about 81 per cent of the total
cost of a well-built macadam road
may be considered as spent for per-
manent features, and with bitumin-
Gus macadam roads, about Sc per
cent. This method of estimating can
not be applied to any gravel or ma
tural soil road in which no part of
the surfacing can advantageously be
considered permanent, for under most
systems Of maintenance it steadily

ments resting on concrete founda-
ton, are sometimes regarded as per-
manent, but this is hardly safe. 1t
IS not yet definitely known how long
the best concrete surface will last.
The best vitrified brick surfaces may
last number of years, but even with
them repairs will be required.
1t should be borne in mind by those
charged with the expenditure Of high
way funds that the initial cost Of a
road is never the final cost; that no
surface is permanent and that re-
pairs and maintenance charges will
always be necessary. On the other
hand many features of good road
are to be regarded as permanent in
vestments. When roads are built
with borrowed money, the distinction
between the permanent and the tenn
porary improvement must be carefully
observed in order that the county may
have something in exchange when the
time comes to repay the loan.

Land to be planted to corn the fol-
lowing spring, especially such land as
has laid in grass for considerable
time and Is likely to contain cut
worms, should be plowed in midsum-
mer or early fall about the time the
eggs are laid, for then vegetation
which is suitable for the moths to lay
their eggs upon is removed. The
earlier the preceding year grasslands
20 be planted to corn are plowed, the
less will be the probability that the
cut worm moths will have laid their
eggs thereon, and the less, conse-
quently, will be the danger of injury
by cutworms the following year.
Late fall and winter blowing of
grasslands, although not as effective
as early blowing, will destroy many
of the alternating cutworms, as well
as such other important corn pests
as white grubs, and should be prac-
ticed when earlier blowing is imprac-
ticable.
Pasturing hogs upon land supposed
TO harbor cutworms is beneficial
practice, as these animals root up and
devour insects of many kinds, includ-
ing cutworms, in large numbers.
Farm poultry, if trained to follow the
plow, will prove of inestimable value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use of the
poisoned bait is recommended. This
may be prepared as follows: Mix so
pounds Of wheat bran, pounds of
paris green, and finely chopped or
anges or lemons. Then bring the
whole mixture to the consistency of
stiff dough by the addition of cheap
molasses, such as is used in cattle ra-
tons, adding water when necessary.
Distribute this bait over the infested
field in small Jumps, taking care to
sprinkle it sparingly around each hill.
In case bran cannot be readily obtain
ed, middlings or alfalfa meal may be
successfully substituted.
Frequently cutworms migrate to
cultivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running a narrow
band OF the poisoned bait around the
edge of the field or along the side
nearest the source Of infestation.

through Missouri show an average re-
turn of $3.50 from applying about q
ton of ground limestone once in a
corn, cat, wheat, clover rotation. The
largest return was secured on clover,
second to corn, and lowest of all on
wheat. These tests seem to show that
about SO ton is about the highest
price that man can usually afford to
pay for ground limestone for this pur-
pose. OF course, on a sour soil
where lime is absolutely necessary
and makes the difference between a
clover failure and good stand, the
lime has a still higher-money value.
About 1920 pounds of lump lime, or
1900 pounds of water-slaked lime
furnish the equivalent of 1000 pounds
of ground limestone for this purpose,
but the ground limestone is usually
much more economical to use. 1t
should be applied at the rate of
about two tons per acre under the
average conditions of these tests, but,
of course, this depends very largely
on the sourness of the land. Samples
of the soil and of the limestone to be
used should be sent to an agricul-
tural experiment station which is US
ually willing to examine the samples
and make recommendation based on
them.
Lime is not really fertilizer, al
though it is sometimes called an indi-
rect fertilizer, that is a material
which indirectly helps the crop even
though it is not "a plant food, as are
manure and good commercial fertiliz-
ers. 1t should usually be applied
either in the spring before corn, or
in the fall to land that has been plow-
ed for wheat. The preparation of
the seed bed then works it into the
soil. 1t is sometimes plowed under
but it is usually better to mix it with
surface soil. 1t should not be used as
top-dressing on wheat or other ro-
tated crops although sometimes so
used on grass.

FAR MERS SEND
MONEY TO CITY

Men are seldom more innocently
employed than when they are honest
ly making money.
The value of dollar is to buy just
things. A dollar goes on increasing
in value with all the genius and all
the virtue of the world. A dollar in
university is worth more than a
dollar in a Jail; in some industry in a
temperate, law-abidding community
than in some distant mine, oil we'll or
problematical fruit farm in distant
territory.
The lack of money has brought
many community to state of OBJ
livion, and the community's pauper-
ism is invariably the result of I'M
patriotic residents sending their
money away to the large cities for
supplies.

These merchants pay taxes to sup

If the people must have inferior
goods, such as many. mail order
