Considered Grave.
London, Oct. 3.-Though it would
be premature to abandon hope of a
settlement of the railway strike, the
situation has disappointed the almost
universal expectation Of some ar

MORE ATTENTION TO
STACKING OF STRAW
Conserve Valuable Source of
Roughage and Bedding.
Stacks Should Be Constructed to Shed
Rain and Finished by Rounding
Off Top-Baling Direct From
Thrasher Saves Time.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricutureD
Care in stacking straw at thrashing
time preserves it for use as roughage
for live stock and for bedding and may
also prevent Scourges of biting flies,
known as stable flies. Most of the
stable flies which sometimes appear in
great numbers breed in fermentlng
straw. The department urges that
more attention than usual be given to
caring for the straw this season.
As only small part of the straw
produced in the grain belt can be baled
Immediately or placed under cover to
prevent weathering, straw stacks
should be built so that they Will shed
rain. One or two men should spread
the straw evenly over the stack. tramp
it, and keep the sides straight The
blower should also be regulated to OBJ
! tain even distribution of the straw
over the stack. The stack should be
finished by rounding off the top and
hauling away or spreading thinly any
loose straw that may be left around

the base. Baling the straw direct
from the thrasher saves time and pre-
vents possible injury from weathering,
but the expense of baling is too great
to justify its common use. If the straw
is baled after stacking, any part which
is spoiled should be spread as manure
or should be burned.
Stable flies prefer to breed in oat
straw, but may breed in wheat, barley
or rice straw. In nearly all serious
outbreaks it has been found that the
straw in which the flies bred was not
stacked properly and that it was
soaked by heavy rains which fell soon
after thrashing. In many cases the
stacks We're wet completely through
and thus spoiled for feeding.
Stable flies also breed in horse ma
nure. especially in strawy manure, so
that hauling the manure and spreading
it on the fields helps to reduce their
number and prevent annoyance to
horses and cattle. AS house flies also
breed in manure, hauling the manure
from the stables and yards aids in
keeping down this pest.

HEADING BACK APPLE TREE
Time to Begin Work When Tree Has
Reached Height Of 10 or 20 Feet,
Which Is Limit.

When an apple tree has reached
height of 10 or 20 feet it is time to
begin heading back. This height Is
about the limit up to which good
spraying can be done, and picking
becomes more hazardous in trees al
lowed to exceed it. 1t is better to
limit the height of the tree than to let
it grow higher for a few years and
then cut back. The cutting back should
be made on wood three or four years
old and just above strong lateral
branches which can supply sufficient
leaf surface and bearing wood.
If old trees have been neglected
and allowed to grow with little or no
pruning for number of years head
ing back can best be done by degrees,
pruning back part of the top one year
and completing the rest of the work
the next.

prepared by the United States Depart

If careful watch is not kept, the
Colorado potato beetle is certain to
exact n heavy toll This beetle and its
"slugs" are so well known that no de-
scriptiOn is necessary here
The range of this pest covers large
portion of the United States, but it is
not found extensively or in especially
injurious numbers near the Rocky
mountains. 1t abOunds from New Eng
land and Canada to Florida, westward
TO Texas, and in the northern Pacific
region, where it has become trouble
some only recently. Both the "slugs"
CHE young, or larvae), and the
beetles (adults) feed upon the potato
plants. After passing the winter in
the ground, the beetles usually appear
at about the same time as the potato
plants, lay their eggs, and continue
feeding. They often destroy small
areas. especially those grown for gar
den purposes. When the "slugs" of
the first crop begin their work they
usually up ilut DeSul ny tHt
Overwintered beetles, leaving only bare
stems, which become dry and black.
After eXhausting the potato, the
beetles attack eggplant and other
plants of the potato family including
tomato, ground cherry, jimpson weed,
and related weeds In the most north
ern range of this insect there is prob
ably only one generation year, but
two generations and partial third oc-

Ducks, guineas, and other domestic
fowls eat the beetles and larvae. So

very misleading because of the condi-
tons which it fails to contemplate. 1t
Is true that there are many road sur
faces composed of earth or earthly ma
terial which do not become very muddy
under traffic, even during long rainy
seasons, and since such surfaces usu-
ally tend to harden very rapidly as
soon as the weather clears up, it may
be desirable to drag roads of this kind
Immediately after rain. Such roads,
however, would not ordinarily need to
be dragged after every rain, because
of the strong tendency that they nat
urally possess of holding their shape.
clay and soil tend to become very
muddy under only light traffic after
very moderate rains, and, it is evident
that roads constructed of such ma
terials could not always be success
fully dragged Immediately after rain.
Sometimes, in fact, it may be neces-
sary to wait until several consecutive
clear days have elapsed after a long
rainy spell before the road is sufficient
~ dried out to keep ruts from forming
almost as rapidly as they can be filed
by dragging.
Well-constructed sandclay topsoll
roads should not often become muddy
after they are once well compacted.
They may become seriously rutted,
however, under heavy traffic, during
rainy weather, and are almost sure to
need dragging several times each year.
Such roads should ordinarily be drag
ged as soon after rain as prac-
ticable as otherwise the surface soon
becomes dry and hard, so that it Is
necessary to do considerably more
dragging in order to fill the ruts. Fur
thermore, the material which the drag
moves will not compact readily unless
1t contains considerable amount Of
moisture.
Gravel roads can be effectively MAIN
tanned with road drag only when the
gravel composing the surface is fine
grained and contains considerable
quantity of clay earth. Gravel road
surfaces in which this condition pre-
walls not infrequently get badly out Of
shape during wet weather, and may
sometimes require considerably more
attention than well-constructed sand
clay topsoil roads. The time for drag
ging gravel roads is unQuestionably
while they are wet. In fact, the best
results are sometimes obtained by do
ing the dragging after the road has be
come thoroughly soaked and while 1t
Is still raining.
In general, it may be said that the
best time to drag any type of road is
when the material composing the sur
face contains sufficient moisture to
compact readily after it has been
moved by the drag and is not suffi-
GENTLY wet for the traffic following the
drag to produce mud.
