|CONFISCATION BILL MAY
|! UNDERGO AMENDMENT

Automobile dealers will be saved hum
dreds of cars and thousands of dollars
as the result of amendment to the Vol
stead prohibition bill by the senate judi
ciary committee at the request Of the
National Automobile Dealers associa-
ton with which the Louisiana Missis-
sippi Automotive Trade association is
an affiliated organization. The associa-
tion's representations that conditional
bills of sale and mortgages held by the
dealer on cars should be respected to
protect the equity of the dealer were
adopted. by the committee, and there Is
little doubt but that this feature will
go through the bill in its final form.
The Volstead bill is the act to en-
force constitutional prohibition and will
be effective after Jan. 20. 1920. In the
first draft Of bills as presented a car
wasf subject to c~onfiscation for carry

car was wrongfully used without his
knowledge, he may have his rights in
the car protected. III the car is one
which is used without his consent his
rights are protected,
In securing these rights the dealer
associated obtained the consent of the
committee for the claimant to furnish a
corporate bond for the value OF the car
pending disposition Of the hearing. First
proposals Of the committee were to re-
quire a personal surety bond When 1t

Farmers throughout the country are

port specialists Of the United States
department of agriculture. as they are
learning that the best stock yields the
most profits. and hence are more care

large increase in the number Of filters
to be narrowed this fall. Much trouble
was experienced with the early spring
filters because of cold weather at far
rowing time and on account of feed
shortage and the high price of pro-
tein feeds, causing many stockmen TO
allow their brood sows to get into poor
condition, with the result that small
and weak filters were farrowed. In

PLANT El-MS AND LIMDENS
For the Parkway They Have Many
Advantages Over Others That

A correspondent asks advice regard

Several people advised elms." he
writes, but they are such slow grow
ers. and as l am not young l would
like to plant some kind that ! will
have a chance to enjoy. l am also
thinking of planting four fruit trees
in the yard, probably three cherries.
as they seem to do better than most
fruit trees, and a pear or an apple"
The American elm is by far the
best tree for this purpose. 1t grows
fast enough, starts to branch high and
does not obstruct the view. 1t arches
beautifully, high up over the street,
and is a long-lived, hardwood variety,
o seriously affected by insects and
fungus pests.
The American linden might grow a
little faster, but the tussock moth likes
IL too well. The American ash grows
faster, but 1t soon gets shaggy, is sus-
ceptible to boring insects and drops its
leaves in August. The sycamore is
good and a faster grower, but its bark
is shaggy. The blackberry Is just as
good as the elm, but slower growing.
The red and pin oaks are better, but
no one has the patience ia plant them.
Do not plant cottonwood, box elders,
soft naples, nor poplar where an elm,
hard maple, blackberry. oak or gingko

prepared by the United States Depart

When wheat follows a cultivated
crop that is removed sufficiently early,
such as corn or tobacco, the soil can
usually be prepared for seeding by the
use of a disk and ordinary harrows.
As soon as the crop Is harvested the
land should be gone over with the
disk to prevent the growth of grass
and weeds. A second disking. followed
by narrowing, is given just before the
grain Is sown. A better seed bed can
be prepared in this way than by plow-
ing, and it takes much less time and
work. IL weeds are plentiful, blowing
three or four inches deep may be nee
essary. narrowing with an ordinary
harrow should follow the blowing.
When wheat follows cotton the
stalks should be plowed under as soon
AS the bolls are all open and picked.

GOOD
KEEP EARTH ROADS IN SHAPE
Engineer Of Wisconsin Highway Com
mission Tells Benefits of Patrol
System Of Maintenance.

Earth roads will be in existence
over wide areas for many years to
come, Notwithstanding the rapid extern
sion Of permanent" road beds of diff
ferent materials.
Mr.. F. Sergeant, a division engineer
Of the Wisconsin highway commission,
writes:
"After q seasons experience with
the patrol system Of maintenance in
division No. Z, where We have prac-
tically all earth roads. I am more than
ever convinced that this type of road
can be fairly well maintained by this
system, even where subject to consid-
cradle heavy motor traffic.
"A patrol section should not be more
than six or miles in length and
should be taken care Of by n man
with team. This man should be held
responsible for the condition of his
section at all times and should be re-
quired to devote all of his time to the
work.
"The patrolman must have a good
team, and the wagon box equipped
with a dump bottom. The county
should furnish a light t%wo-horse blade
grader, road plane, pillow, scraper and
necessary small tools. such as shovel,
pick. bar, brush scythe. rake, etc.
"In spite of all the claims made for
the road drag as a maintenance tool,
we find the light blade grader OF the
road plane far superior TO it, and we
advocate the use of these tools entire
ly for road maintenance. We find that
a road drag having no bearing except
on the blade, has a tendency to gouge
out the material in soft spots making
them still deeper. and giving the road
a bad, wavy surface, while the blade
long wheel base or bearing surface,
cuts only on the high spots and dis
tributes the material In low places,
building them up and giving the road
a nice, smooth, driving surface. A
blade grader should be so constructed
that one man can drive the team and
make all adjustments necessary while
the machine is moving, as only one
IA is required on this work.
"An earth road with low crown and
badly sodded shoulders cannot be
properly maintained by the patrolman,
but should be first trimmed up with a
heavier outfit, cutting of and remOv-
ing heavy sOds, properly heaping up
tha crown filling low Dlaces and omen.
ing up drainage.
"The blade grader should not be
used on earth roads when they are
sloppy, but should be used as soon as
the material is dry enough to roll nice
ly on the blade, and pack into the ruts
and depressions. And no great amount
of material should be moved at n
time a quarter or half inch cut is suf-
ficient for the best results, furnishing
all the material that the blade can dis
tribute evenly. Under ordinary wealth
