The fremen were subjected to danger

The Goodyear Tire x Rubber COM

navy department to construct and
demonstrate nine of the sixteen
dirigibles which have been author

The contract to make the other
seven has been split up among three
concerns in order that in case of
war there may be other concerns
familiar with the manufacture OF
dirisibles

inches thick. The depth Of the earth
covering is determined by the sever
ity Of the winters In the particular To-
cality. 1t Is well to cover the pits
with straw, corn fodder, or manure
during severely cold weather.
The amount OF ventilation necessary
will depend upon the size of the pit.
Small pits containing but few bush
els of vegetables Will receive sufii-
cient ventilation If the straw between
the vegetables and dirt is allowed to
extend through the dirt at the apex
Of the pile. This should be covered
with a board or piece of tin held In
place by a stone to protect 1t from
rain. In large pits ventilation may
be secured by placing two or three
pieces of rough boards or stakes up
through the center Of the pile of vege-
tables so that a flue is formed. This
flue is capped by trough formed OF
two pieces of board nailed together
at right angles.
Vegetables keep very well In such
pits, but 1t Is difficult to get them out
In cold weather, SO that when pit
Is opened it is desirable to remove It's
entire contents at once. For this rea-
son it Is advisable to construct sew
eral small pits rather than one larger
one, and instead Of storing each crop
In pit by itself it Is better to place
small quantity of several kinds OF
vegetables in the same pit, so that 1t
will be necessary to open only one
bank to get supply Of all Of them.
In storing several crops in the same
bank it is good plan to separate
them with straw, leaves, or other ma
terial. The vegetables from the small
pit may be placed temporarily In the
storage room in the basement, where
they will be easily accessible as need
ed for the table.

SWARM CONTROL BIG FACTOR
Swarming Is Not Desired by Beekeep-
er Who Is Keeping Bees for
Production Of Honey.

Swarm control is an important fac
tor In beekeeping, asserts DIR. J. Fl.
Merrill, assistant professor Of ento-
mology In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
"The standard Of successful bee
keeping was formerly set by the num-
Der of swurms that issued during the
year." said Doctor Merrill. Nov,
however, it Is known that one colony
viii produce more honey than will a
colony which by swarming has been
separated into two, or possibly more.
Thus, while swarming may be the
natural way for increasing the num-
Der of bees, It is not desired by the
beekeeper who is keeping bees to pro-
duce honey.
1.-THE exact cause for swarming Is
not known, although there are several
conditions which are known to stimu-
late 1t. If these conditions are rene
died, a large proportion of swarmine
will be controlled"
