HOUSTON OUTLINES
HIS ROAD POLICIES
Tells Highway Officials What
He Thinks Should be Fol-
lowed in Road Building.

Sec'y Houston of the department
Of agriculture. in communication
10 the American Association OF
state highway officials. has set
forth squarely the policy which ne
thinks should he followed i'm hiSh-
way construction during the war.
Scc'y Houston says:
so far as it is practicable to do
so. this department. will urge the
maintenance Of the highways al
ready constructed: the construction
and completion OF those highways
which are vitality important because
of their bearing upon the war
situation or for the movement o.
commodities. the postponement of
all highway construction relatively
less essential or not based upon
important military or economic
needs. The department is prepar-
ing 10 suggest 10 the state highway
departments, the preparation OF a
schedule of work for the federal aid
projects for 1918 in line with this
policy"
In carrying out the policy thus
announced there has been sent out
by the office OF public roads, of the
department OF agriculture, sche-
dule forms on which the states are
requested 10 set forth their pro-
posed federal aid work for the 1918
working season. Those schedules
call for description OF each road,
the character. quantity and rail
haul of the materials TO be used.
the probable cost. the amount oil
federal funds desired. the specific
purpose of the Improvement, its
bearing upon the war situation. and
what effect a delay OF the work
until 1919 or later would have.
With the information thus assem-
bled and classified, an efficient road
contraction program is assured.
While il is impossible TO make any
definite statement regarding the
transportation Of road materials,
the expectations are that the trans
pOrtation situation will he improved
and that the shipment of such
materials for essential projects can
be made.
Road construction and mainten-
ance in the United states involve an
annual expenditure of some $500
00O,O and there is scarcely a sec
ton of the country that is not
seriously affected by marked
disturbance in road work.

HAS NE W PLAN To

Prof. Jackson. Purdue, Works
Out "Ory Method Which
is Proving Success.

a new plan OF treating oats 10

method. has been introduced in
Indiana and during the next six
weeks demonstrations will be given
throughout the state 10y workers
from the extension department Of
Purdue university and government
men showing farmers how this plan
may be used. Details for this work
were given out today by Prof H. :
Jackson of the Botanical Division OF
Purdue.
Under the new system which is
recommended as a great labor saver.
solution OF one pint of formaldehyde
with one pint OF water. is mixed
which is enough TO treat seed for
twenty acres. This is applied with
an atomizer sprayer. The seed may
be sown within five hours or il may
be stored and kept until sowing time.
This smut treatment may be made
now as the seed will not get damp
enough 10 freeze and spoil. After
treatment il should be covered for
five hours with disinfected sacks or
tarpaulin TO keep the fumes at work.
Under the old system, solution
OF one pint of formaldehyde TO forty
gallons OF water was used II vas
applied 10y a sprinkling can. The
seed became so wet that much shOv-
cling and moving about 10 dry it be-
fore storing or sowing was neces-
sary. The new method eliminates
this extra work
The average Of about > percent
of the cat crop in Indiana destroy
ed every year by smut said Prof.
Jackson. Considering the acreage
OF oats, if every Hoosier farmer
treats his seed this year, it will
mean ar increase Of 1000. 900 bu-
shells If this crop brought 75c a
bushels, and the price is IS now,
Indiana farmers would get $3.50
600 more this year for their oats
than they got last. providing all
treat their oats for smut. This
does not take into consideration the
immense amount Of food and food
stuffs above the usual figure 10 be
produced
Results of four years expert
ments in thirty-five Indiana coun-
ties bear out these statements.
Many farmers i'm this state who
have checked up on the value of
smut treatment nave found that II
has increased their oat production
as much as eleven bushels per acre
and frequently increases OF three
to five bushels are noted. ia addi-

WATER SUPPLY FOR POUL-

A supply of pure drinking water
frequently renewed is as necessary
for poultry as sufficient supplies Of
food.
There are two different types Of
drinking vessels for poultry i'm COM
mon use: open vessels-pails, pans.
crooks. and the like. and drinking
fountains so constructed that dust
and dirt can not get into the water
except by way o. "A very small eN-
posed surface.
These quite opposite types of
drinking vessel are about equally
popular with poultry Keepers. open
vessels catch more dirt and dust.
but are more easily cleaned. Closed
fountains may be used much longer
without cleaning but If allowed 10

thoroughly.
Placing open drinking vessels on
a shelf a foot or more above the
floor prevents the hens from
scratching coarse litter into them.
but does not keep out fine dust
which floats i'm the air and settles
i'm the water.
Thoroughly rinsing open vessels
once a day and scaldng drinking
fountains once or twice a week Will
usually keep them as clean as nee
