KEEP VEGETABLES IN WINTER
Temperature Slightly Above Freezing
Point 10 Preferred for Beets,
Turnips and Carrots.

(By A. f. YEAGER, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College)
Turnips, beets, and carrots will keep
best at a temperature slightly above
freezing. Cabbage will stand consid-
cradle freezing, and satisfy and pars.
nips may be left In the soil over winter
If desired. Squashes and pumpkins
will keep best in a warm dry place.
A warm attic where it does not freeze
is good. Potatoes require a cool place
not too dry. Cabbage and nearly all
root crops may be stored in the ground
They must be put deep enough to be
below the frost line and should be sur
rounded with straw to keep them from,
direct contact with the soil.

TREES GROW BEST ON SLOPES
Roughest Areas on Farm Present Most
Favorable Localities for Sue
cessful Growth.

By W. J. MORRILL,. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Z Trees, especially cone bearing trees,
seem to prefer newly eroded soil.
Steep slopes are exposed to compare
lively rapid erosion and here trees
do the best Level ground indicates
old soil, old in the sense that it was
derived from rock, as a rule, longer
ago than soil found on steep slopes.
Old soil probably contains an excess
Of soluble salts, too much for best
tree growth.
In the mountains one sees the steep
slopes clothed with trees, while the
occasional fiat spot is likely to be
bare Of trees. The toughest areas on
the farm present the most favorable
localities for successful tree growing.

Insect Is Serious Menace to
American Agriculture.
Has Become Well Established in Both

Most Energetic Measures F.
vored for Eradication.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
meet Of Agriculture)
The European corn borer undoubt-
edly is a serious menace to American
agriculture. The United States de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time called attention to the extreme
danger from this pest, which has be-
come we'll established in both Massa-
chusetts and New York. Now comes
this reinforcement Of that judgment:
1--WE, the National Association Of
Commissioners Of Agriculture, with
official entomologists from many
states and representatives of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, together with representatives
Of the Canadian government, present
as experts in conference upon the sit
uation, express ourselves, after
examining the infested area, as thor
oughly convinced that this pest is one
of the most dangerous insects which
has become established in America.
and we hereby place ourselves on
record in favor of most energetic ef-
forts on the part Of federal and state
agencies to control and, If possible,
to exterminate this insect, including
in the program vigorous quarantines
to prevent its distribution"
That is a part Of the resolutions
adopted by the European Corn-borer
conference, begun at Albany, N. Y,
on August % and concluded at Bos-
ton, Mass, an August %. The state
commissioners Of agriculture, state
entomologists and others went over
the corn fields around Schenectady,

which ordinarily is accomplished In
from three to five minutes, depending
on the quality of the thermometer. The
temperature of the car at this point
should not be above "a degrees F.
If it is more than 80 degrees at this
point, it is dangerous to load the car
for a haul requiring intensive refriger-
ation. Unless the shipper is willing
to take chances on the condition In
which his load will arrive at the mar
ket, he should communicate with the
railroad agent and request car which
is able to refrigerate the dressed poul-
try properly.
"All refrigerator cars should be pro-
vided with floor rack inches in the

made from by lumber and crosswise
Stats made from 1 by lumber, with
IN inch spaces between. These cross
wise Stats are nailed to the lengthwise
stringers. They do not interfere with
trucking the load into the car. They
should extend across the doorway,
since it is this part of the car which
is hardest to refrigerate and where
air circulation is most needed. All
railroad owned refrigerators as rapid

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Scrupulous care in preceding re-
frigerator car for shipping dressed
poultry, always a matter Of impor-
tance, is doubly so now, in the opinion
of food-research experts. The greater
necessity for care comes, in the first
place, of the fact that there is ma
tion-wide ice shortage. The second
important element is that, following
the stress of wartime transportation,
the refrigerator equipment Of the coun-
try is in a rundown condition. The
car should be carefully examined, the
experts say, to see that it admits not
even a pin point of light. Then it
should be tested and, if it fall short OF
standard, there should be no hesita-
ton about rejecting it and calling on
the railroad agent for car that will
meet the requirements. Extreme care,
the experts believe, is essential just
now for the preservation of poultry in
transit. and the chief Of the depart
ment's food research laboratory has
lust issued the following definite in
formation as to how satisfactory re-
suits are to be attained:
Select Car Day Before Loading.
"When the refrigerator car is set for
icing. enter it and with doors and
matches tightly closed look carefully
for any crack or point Of daylight.
The car should be absolutely black
with not pin point Of light anywhere.
If there are distinct cracks around the
doors or matches, the car will not main
tain sufficiently low temperature and
should not be iced for the hauling OF
dressed poultry or any other commod-
ity requiring ice and salt refrigeration.
Be sure also that the drain pipes are
open and in good working order.
"The selected car should be set for
icing at least "a hours before it is to
be loaded. Its bunkers should then
be filled three-quarters full with finely
broken ice; that is, no piece should De
larger than a mans fist. When the
bunkers are three-quarters full, taml
the ice down we'll so that all cracks
and crannies are filed. Then add one
quarter of the calculated amount OF
salt o., the IL per cent basis. For in
stance, if the bunker holds DUN

The commissioners of agriculture

the reality Of the peril and of the
necessity of unifying all efforts to pro-
tect the farmers Of the country from

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young - to do this you must watch your liver and bowels -- there's no need of having sallow complexion - dark rings under your eyes - pimples - bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com- pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi- tute for calomeI. are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities

Halt Army and Navy Bill.

Dem ocrats under the White House lash may make an attempt to push the army and navy, appropriation bills through the senate. If they do some of the finest examples of long dis tance OratorE ever heard in the sen- ate will Dc the response of the re" publicans
 So far as the army appropriation bill is concerned it is so full of fea- lures objectionable to the republicans that it has no chance at all. Tho navy bill carries the provision to per init the president to build or not to build. at his own will. tremendous new fleet of capital fighting ships and hundreds of other fighting craft. Car rying this provision in the bill was recently exposed as nothing more or less than a club to wield over the head of Great Britain to trv to force her, through realizing that the United States was ready to engage in an enormously expensive battleship building race. into agreement to limit national arn1aments, notably British armament.
 If Senator Swanson (Va.) chair man of the senate naval affairs com mittee. tries to get action on the idN al dPpTOpjidtlOn D1ll ne may tie up the whole senate works so badly as to jeopardize the chances of the deficiency bill, which carries the ap- propriauon for a new railroad re- volving fund. However. Senator Swanson was told plainly by his re- publican colleagues on the committee just what would happen if he was in sistent.

 Senator Sherman Ul1) has served notice on the senate that he will talk about the presidents league of na- hons tomorrow, and this means the use of considerable time. Senator sherman is one of the violent objec- tors to the republican policy of push ing through the note issue authoriza- ton and the deficiency bill. It may be that regardless of the ideas of the leaders of his party in the senate, he with a few supporters will inaugurats a fllibuster with his league of nations speech, which may be carried along until there will not be sufficient time to pass tho deficiency measure.

Except for Il few, mos. of the sena- tors were not required to appear for their regular tasks until 10 o'clock this morning, when tho long and final grind Of the session begins.
 The senate will no adjourn today at all, in all probability. but will stay in session continuously until noon, Tuesday. when by law the SiNty-Iifth congress dies.

s750. GOO, ,OGO for Railroads.

The general deficiency bill includes as an item the additional $50, 100000 revolving fund for the Railroad ad- m in iSt "a ton. This appropriation is regarded by the republican leaders as in the same general class as the note bill. Holding it. up would cause such real trouble and cause it so quickly hat the president. despite his deter imitation not to call congress together until q long time from now, would be forced to reconsider and get congress together quickly to keep the railroads from going completely to disaster.
 However, the republican leaders agree that blocking this measure, while if might he counted on to force extra session. would be short sighted politics in that the certain wreck of the railroad system, which would follow. might be blamed to the republican party. AS was the case with the note bill, some republican senators are in favor of stopping all legisla ton and putting the onus upon the president of failing to call an extra session of congress regard less of the chaos which might be ex- pected from failure of the railroad bill and the note authorization.
