TO DISCUSS MILK DELIVERY
Producers and Distributors to Hold
Conference at Columbia During
the Farmers Week.

A conference of milk producers and
distributors will be held during Farm
ers' Week at the University of Mis-
souri,, Columbia, January IA to IS.
War conditions have aggravated the
problem of the milk distributors es-
pecially in the smaller towns. This
will be the second market milk con-
ference. The first was held last year.
Daily lectures will be given IN feed
ing for milk production, selection and
breeding of cattle, raising calves on
substitutes, and other questions OF di-
rect interest to dairymen. The in
creased cost of marketing milk due
to shortage of labor, slaughter of cows
for beef, and high cost of feed has
seriously handicapped the producers
of milk. The distributors are con.
fronted with similar difficulties in sup
plying the demand for pure milk at a
reasonable price.
The prosram for January Is has
been especially designed for retailers
of milk. Demonstrations of market
milk machiHery and milk plant meth
DDS will be given. For the afternoon
the following program has been ar
ranged:
Making and Selling Cottage Cheese
"a Byproduct of the Milk Plant, L..
G.. Rinkle, University of Missouri;
Building a City Milk Delivery Bust
ness, A. H. Sheppard, White Eagle
Dairy Co., Columbia, Mo-; What the
Consumer Has a Right to Demand of

FARMERS BEAT HESSlAN FLY
Effective Work In Controlling This
Pest Has Been Done by Cooper
alton Of Wheat Growers.

Missouri farmers have done effec-
tive work in controlling the hessian
fly. A recent survey made by the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture indicated that
the cooperative work which farmers
are doing has practically eliminated
the fly wherever the cooperation has
been thorough. Hessian fly expert
mental fields in Johnson, Clay, Noda-
way, Carroll, Boone, Madison, st. Gene
We've, Perry, Mississippi, Butler
Greene and Laclede counties were in
spected. In addition several farms in
each Of the counties were also visited.
Only in Mississippi county was the
hessian fly found.
In 1915-1916 Missouri as a whole
was heavily infested with fly and in
some sections the wheat crop was al
most completely destroyed. AS a re-
suit of this damage man Missouri
farmers began to practice control
measures by blowing under the stub
Bile early, just as soon as the wheat
was cut, keeping down all volunteer
wheat during July, August and Sep
TENDER and seeding on or about the
fly-free date. This practice resulted
in a good seedbed and fewer flies,
with a larger yield from the 1916-1917
crop.
This fall very little wheat was sown
before the fly-free date, except in Sec
tons where an exceptionally large
crop was sown and owing to the scar
city of labor the seeding had to be
begun early, as was the case in South
east Missouri, where the fly was
found. However, taking the state as
a whole very little damage need be
expected to the 1918 wheat crop by
the hessian fly. The acreage of wheat
is from twenty-five to fifty per cent
greater this year than last and the
prospects for a large crop are good,
provided that the winter is favorable.

Missouri Quail in Danger.

Thousands of quail in counties of
southern Missouri are in danger of
starvation, says an appeal issued at
Springfield by deputy state game war
dens, in which farmers of that region
are asked to put out feed for the birds.
Snow a foot in depth has covered the
ground for nearly a week and the quail
are reported to be huddled in places
of shelter from the zero temperatures,
unable to stir around and reach their
natural food supply.

grade will not exceed five per cent at
any place and cuts one-half mile off
the distance.
The Jones hill leads out of the can
yon running up from Lena towards
Heppner. The present grade was
built last spring and changed to the
north side of the canyon. The sur
veyors have discovered a much easier
grade which will leave the present
road at point between the Sheridan
and Kilcup ranches, going up a can
yon and dropping over into Hinton
creek on very slight grade.
While it may seem great deal like
extravaganza in making these chang
es, it is the announced policy of the
engineering department and the State
Highway Commission that all work to
be done in the future should be done
with the view of making the roads
permanently located. Mr.. Bennett is
Of the opinion that some of the pre-
liminary work towards macadamizing
this 45-mile stretch will be done by

ROAD WILL HAVE
A BETTER GRADE

Changes in the location of the road
at various points between Pilot Rock
and Heppner, assure that this stretch
will be one of easy grades, is the in
formation given the Record by Depu-
ty State Engineer M. 0. Bennett,
whose force of surveyors have been
at work on this road for several
weeks past. Mr.. Bennett was here
Monday and announces that his crew
has now laid out the entire road as it
will be permanently improved under
the recently adopted bonding act.
Chief among the changes that will be
made will be the routing of the road
at the upper end of Hog Hollow
through the south fork of the canyon
instead of the present route, the elm
ination of the present Franklin Hill
and the Jones Hill grades. The new
survey is made to conform with the
policy of the state engineering de-
partment, doing away with all grades
of more than five per cent where
practicable. The new Hog Hollow
road, in going up the south canyon,
will save distance of approximately
one mile and will not have a grade of
more than five per cent. 1t will strike
the present road again at the corner
about half mile south of the head
of the canyon from which the road
now enters the head of the Hollow. In
changing the road out of Little But
ter creek, the surveyors at first met
with strong opposition from the Nor
row County Court, who built the new
Franklin Hill grade only two or three
years ago at cost of several thous-
and dollars. 1t has grade of 6 per
cent most of the way but is per
cent near the top and the rocks are
bad in many places before the
straight stretch to the south is reach
ed. The new survey calls for the
grade to lead out from the creek near
the John Brosnan ranch, half mile
south of the bottom of the present
grade and connects with the present
road again about mile east of the
top of old Franklin grade. The new
