SWEET CLOVER

or dry, that was not In other crops
II grew and did we'll right in fairly
strong alkaii water; water-logget
seemed to be its favorite place. But
II also grew on dry land.
Then some one started things By
offering good prices for seed. Some
of these waste places made more
money for the seed than the better
sections OF the farm.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture Weekly News Bulletin
has this to say:
Let the sweet clover grow this year
In vacant lots along roadsides and
along railway rights of way until
after the blooming season. fhug
provide more nectar for the honey
bees and eventually more substitutes
for sugar. This appeal Is made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Sweet clover. recognized by bee
keepers for many years as valu-
able honey plant, has been consi-
dered weed In many places. City,
county, and railway authorities, as
well as farmers. have cut the plants
before the blooming season. thus pre-
venting them from maturing seed
II Is admitted that sweet clover
unmolested. many of the plants reach
Ing a height of feet. but II is not
difficult to eradicate. and sweet
clover recently has become well
known as valuable forage plant.
Thousands of acres In some sections
OF the country are planted annual
ly to grow forage crops. and results
have justified the rapidly increas-
ing acreage
The United States must not only
Increase sugar production for domes-
tic needs. but must ship an increased
quantity 10 the allies. Every effort
should be made this year to stimu-
late production OF substitutes for
sugar. In localities where sweet
clover Is growing abundantly, city.
county. and railway officials are ask
ed to cooperate with beekeepers and
see that all well-known nectar
plants, aud especially
sweet clover. are not cut until after
the blooming period. This plan was
pTacticed In at least one locality last
year with gratifing results, and Il is
hoped that all sweet clover growing
within mile OF colonies OF bees will
be permitted to stand until after the
blooming period this year
Sweet clover not omey produces an
abundant flow OF nectar over n long
period but does not begin to bloom
until the white clover and alsike

ADVANTAGES OF MOTOR
TRUCK TRANSPORTATION
Loss From Damage and Breakage OF
Goods Amounts Practically
to Nothing.
LITTLE CHANCE FOR THEFT
Only Driver and His Helper Come
Into Contact With Goods Shipped,
Giving Minimum OF Opportunity
for Losses to Occur by Stealing.

A feature OF motor truck transpor-
tation that Is saving manufacturers
and shippers thousands OF dollars Is
that of breakage and damage of goods
in transit being reduced to minimum.
Eggs. glassware. china. porcelain
goods-not 10 mention other breakable
articles-are now beins transported by
twenty-five TO 500 miles on all kinds
OF roads. with a brcakaGe average
that is almost nil
When such facts are taken into con-
sideration. and compared with the high
average of broken and damaged goods
that apparently is necessary in the
rapid handling by other transportation
methods. this additional saving reduces
the cost OF motor truck transportation
quite materially
Another feature OF the motor truck
that still further reduces this saving
is that OF the almost total lack OF
theft OF goods while in transit With
the careful selection of drivers and
helpers now being exercised by motor
truck transportation companies. and
with the almost total lack OF oppor-
tunity for other hands than those of
the driver TO come in contact with the
goods SO shipped, ii can be seen that
such thefts are practically Impossible.
1t would not be surprising IL the
time is not far distant, il 1t has not
already arrived. when shippers will
give preference to motor truck trans
portation. Undoubtedly this reduction
of loss from thcfts will eventually
cause reduced rate by insurance com
panies who issue policies against
losses OF this nature.

creases the bending of the tire carcass
and the motorist actually aggravates
the tire condition that he seeks to re-
lieve VIXEN he decreases the pressure In
his tires.
1t is true that on a very hot day
the air pressure in tires that are used
continuously increases slightly, but
never sufficiently to cause any injury
to the tire. Tires are not as fragile
as some persons suppose, and are able
TO stand three and four times the
ordinary pressure used. There is more
danger in decreasing the pressure than
in permitting it to increase. for after
the tires have rested a while the air
pressure will drop. and there is always
the danger that the motorist will omit
to put i'll enough mir TO bring the pres
sure up to the required point.
There is no condition in which tires
are subjected to more air pressure
variations than in racing on our speed
ways. Yet even on the hottest days
| the terrific hundred-mile grinds OF the
race tracks. with tire revolving twen-
ty times second. do not cause tires
to blow out. And there is certainly
no condition in ordinary driving that
even approximates those OF the speed
way. There is no question but tina:
motorists will profit by Keeping tire
air pressures, no matter what the heat
conditions"
