NORTH PACIFIC DISTRICT AL
LOTMENTS FOR FOREST
ROADS.

The North Pacific District, com
prlsing oregon, Washington, and
Alaska, will receive $272.422 of the
1919 allotment of funds under sec
tion 3 of the Federal Aid Road Ac,
which provides for the use of q mil.
lion dollars OF Federal money year
for ten years to build roads and
trails within or partly within the
National Forests. according to Dis
trict Forester Geo. II. Cecil, Portland,
who has Just received notice from
Washington that the Secretary OF
Agriculture has approved the allot-
ments for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1919. Under this allotment Ore
gon will receive $t32,796 Washing
ton, ,$92,565, and Alaska s47,0G1.
This Is about $4,000 In excess OF the
1918 allotment for the District.
Because of the National Forest
land within their borders. twenty
seven states of the territory Alaska
share In the benefits OF this Act. The
allotments are made on a basis OF
the area OF National Forest land In
the several states and the estimated
value of the timber and grazing re-
sources OF the Forests.
In order to take advantage OF
these allotments II Is necessary for
the local authorities. either state or
county. or both, to cooperate In the
various road projects, usually on
fifty-fifty basis. The engineering
work for forest roads is done under
the direction OF District Engineer l..
/. Hewes. OF the office OF Public
Roads. who cooperates with the For
est Service In It's road building OPP
erations.
Secretary Huston has already APP
proved the cooperative agreements
for seven Federal Aid Forest road
projects In the District-the Cook
Collins road on the Columbia Nation
al Forest the Republic Wauconda
road on the Colville Forest, and the
Lake QuInault road on the Olympic
Forest. In Washington, and the
Ochoco Canyon Road on the Ochoco
Forest. the CanyonviIle-Galesville
road on the Umpqua Forest and two
sections OF the Medford-Klamath
Falls road on the Crater Forest, In
Oregon.
Funds TO pay the Governments
share In the survey and construction
OF these roads have already been pro-
yided from the 1913 Federal Aid
Road Act allotment.

REFUSE AID AND COMFORT TO
HENS ENEMIES

Don't tolerate mites and lice In
your hennery. They are unnecessary
pests and they sap the vitality that
should go into egg production. Now
adays, effective ways are known for
eradicating lice and mites altogether.
First, a dust bath should be accessi-
BILE to the hens. Usually there will
be place In the yard where the hens
can dust themselves In the dry dirt.
III such q place Is not available, q
box large enough (about feet
square) for the hens to get into II
should be provided In the house and
a quantity of dust such as ordinary
road dust or fine dirt placed in II to
allow the hens n place to dust them
selves. A dust bath aids the hens In
keeping lice in check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds In
sufficient number to prove particu-
larly harmful However, Il is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as possl-
BILE from this pest, and If they are
not able to keep them In check by
busting themselves, other measures
can be undertaken.
To rid the hens OF lice. each one
can be treated by placing small
pinches of sodium florid. a material
which can be obtained at most large
drug stores, among the feathers next
to the skin--one pinch on the head.
one on the neck, two on the back,
one on the breast, one below the
vent, one at the base of the tail; one
on either thigh, and one scattered
on the underside of each wing when
spread. Another method Is to use a
small quantity of blue ointment, q |
piece about as large as a pea on the !
skin l inch below the vent II mer-
cural ointment Is used instead OF |
blue ointment, II should be diluted |
with an equal quantity of vaseline. |
Any of these methods will be found !
very effective in Kidding the hens OF !
lice and should be employed when !
ever the lice become troublesome. /
Two or three applications year /

Mites are more troublesome and /
more harmful than lice They do not /
live upon the bird like the lice. but |
during the day hide In cracks and |

the house, and at night they come
out and get upon the fowls. They
suck the hens blood and II allowed

ly her ability to lay eggs. They may
be eradicated by few thorough APP
plications of kerosene or some of the
coal-tar products which are sold for
this purpose. or crude petroleum. to
the interior of the poultry house.
The commercial coal-tar products arc
more expensive but retain their kill
ing power longer, and they may be
cheapened by reducing with an equal
part of kerosene. Crude petroleum
will spray better IL thinned with
part of kerosene to parts of the
crude oil Both the crude petro-
leum and the coal-tar products often
contain foreign particles. so should
be strained before attempting to
spray. One must be sure that the
spray reaches all of the cracks and
creyices. giving especial attention to
the roosts, dropping boards, and
nests, and the treatment should be
repeated two or three times at inter
walls of a week or 10 days.

CORN SETBACKS FROM
Federal FOOD ORDERS
Other Factors Also Contribute to
Bearish Sentiment Despite Bal

CHICAGO. May 1s.-Big setbacks In
the price of corn have resulted this

In oats the net changes varied from

downward impulse to corn. A good

One of the things this war is show

Safe Keeping Of Liberty Bonds.
Attention is called to the fact that
many holders of liberty bonds Of the

Liberty bonds are negotiable, unless

Many lost reports have been filed.
and the fact that so many investors
are owners of bonds for the first time
has stimulated the criminal class to
seek opportunities to enrich them
selves.
Moreover, many new and inexpert-
enced clerks are In the banks, as a
result of the draft. Bankers are gen-
orally willing to safekeep bonds for
their customers. and holders not hav-
