ROAD
BUILDING
GOOD WORK OF A ROAD DRAG
implement Should Be Used Properly at
Right Time-Repair All Ruts and
Depressions.

After two days of rain, says writer
In Hoard's Dairyman, we took an
eight-mile drive out into the country
was like city boulevard only better.
Despite It's being only a gravel road
there was little mud or water, and one
would have thought that there had
been only rain enough to settle the
dust instead of the big rainstorm. We
inquired and found that two neighborS
had made it practice to alternate in
going over this road with a road drag
after every rain. Just beyond, we came
70 n piece of road muddy, slippery and
full of chuck holes that sent US up a
mile for every mile covered.
The only difference between these
two pieces of road was a road drag
and an hours time spent when field
work could not be done. We estimate
that it took twice as much gasoline to
cover the undragged road. Multiply
our experience by the dozens of teams
and autos going over this muddy road,
and then compute the expense of fail
ure to use the road drag that was
doubtless rotting away in some fence
corner.
We do not now have in mind the de-
mands of the good roads extremist, but
are considering what may be done and
what should be done with the common
dirt road. 1t does more harm than
good, as a general rule, to plow up the
sod on the sides of the Travelled track
and pile it up in big Jumps in the CEN
ter of the track, leaving them there to
be broken up by passing vehicles, and
the loosened dirt washed away by the

METHOD FOR TAGGING TREES
Has Advantages-Mud Easily
Removed by Washing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Linen cloth is now being used in
some of the experimental work OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture in tagging trees and has been
found to be very successful. Writing
on wooden tags, which We're formerly
used, soon becomes illeglble, while
copper tags are not only expensive
but are not large enough for sufficient
data. The linen tags are first soaked
several days in water to remove the
sizings and then dried and smoothed
with hot fiat iron. Data is written
with India ink, using round-pointed
pen. The ink soaks in but does not
run. Such tags will last year or
longer. When they are to be used for
longer periods or under conditions
where the tags come in contact with
the ground, they are coated with par
afiin after labelling. One method is to
dip them in a mixture of gasoline and
paraflin proportion one quart of
gasoline to one-half pound paraffin).
The gasoline evaporates, leaving film
Of paraffin. If the tags become coated
with mud they can easily be washed
and the ink shows up clearly. Such
tags may be used in a variety of ways,
for when treated in this manner they
last exceptionally well.

shovel through the center of the rows
to tear out the old plants, but leave
the young plants at the edges Of the
row to make the new rows. If the
matted rows are only moderately wide,
run the cultivator or plow along one
side, cutting down the row from one
side only and leaving the young plants

BUILDING UP FRESH ARMY

Washington, March 12.-Retention
within the army of about 100000 men
obtained originally through the draft
and by transfer from the national
guard, is planned by the war depart
ment in building up temporary mill
tary establishment. This was definite
ly made known today by General
March, chief-of-staff, who announced
the decision of the war department
that the army would emo, be reduced
under any circumstances, below 9,909
rutil some law was passed fixing the
permanent .Jrce.
GAN the military problems that con
front us have been carefully considered,
determining The number of men neces-
sary,' General March said, "and we
cannot get along without that number
sos, ,9O9-and they will be heidi
Under existing legislation the maxi
mum war strength of the permanent
army is around 29s,OOO. The exact fig
ure, officers explained, cannot be stated
since some of the staff corps, as the
quartermaster corps, for instance, are
permitted wide latitude in their expan-
sion. Voluntary enlistment to fill the
regular army has been re-inaugurated
both in this country and in Franco.
General Pershing has been authorized
to transfer recruits obtained from the
expeditionary forces to the regular or
ganizations, and to release an equiva-
lent number of drafted men. There
will remain, however, a deficiency of
100000 from the total declared by the
military authorities to be the minimum
consistent with the responsibilities of
the United States. These men there
fore will have to come from the forces
which the war department had planned
to demobolize.
Secretary Baker, several days ago, in
explaining the position of the war de-
partment as a result of the failure of
the Sixty-fifth congress to pass the
army reorganization and appropriation
bill, said that his greatest regret was
that ga large number of men will now
have to be retained in the service.'
The selective service act, under which
many of the men to be retained were
inducted, fixes four months after the
presidential proclamation of peace as
the maximum for the retention of mem
hers of the temporary forces.
Military authorities foresee no com
plication as a result of this limitation,
however, telling certain that the final
peace treaty cannot be agreed upon be-
fore May, at the earliest. This will
extend the enlistment period of the
draft contingents to September, before
which they feel certain congress will
have acted to relieve the situation.

CORN COBS USED FOR MULCH
Spread Through Berry Patch in Late
Fall or Winter; They Oiscour-
age Weed Growth.

In case there is surplus of cobs
following shelling time-more than
can be sold or used for fuel-some of
them may be used to advantage as a
mulch in the raspberry or blackberry
patch. Spread through the patch in
late fall or winter they Will discour-
nge effectively weed growth between
the rows the following season. They
produce clean, though somewhat un-
even, underfooting and retard soil
evaporation. One fruit grower adds
a thin layer of fresh cobs each sea-
son. The ones on the bottom are con
stantly rotting. A certain fertilizins
content is thus added to the soil for
the use of the berry plants.

decays and makes ready for splendid
hole to form.
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. No part of n re-
paired highway should be left until its
surface has been thoroughly and even
ly compacted and shaped to let all the
water run off. And when, as will most
always happen, ruts and depressions
make their appearance, they should be
smoothed down, filed, and well COM
pacted so that water may not remain

NIT further damage by the traffic.
When using the road drag, use 1t
properly at the right time. Don't go
out when the road is too wet or too
dry. Take it when the mud will make
a good mortar and will puddle down
like the little girls mud cakes or the
mason's mortar.
