PREVENT INJURY TO
TREES Is WARNING

Owners OF orchards. especially
young ones should be on the look
out for mice at this season and do
everything possible to prevent the
damage that is done each year BY
this serious pest OF young trees, is
the warning that is being issued by
the horticultural Division Of the De-
partment OF Agricultural Extension.
Purdue university. According 10 c.
L. Burkholder OF this department.
the mice are infesting the orchards
earlier this year than usual and the
greatest damage done seems TO be
TO those three located in clover or
those that have been mulched with
straw. clover or alfalfa.
A protection for the trees may be
provided by placing ordinary door
screen or galvanized wire mesh
about the base. Usually, however. il
is only necessary to remove the
weeds, grass or mulch around the
body Of the tree and the mice will
leave the vicinity. If this is done,
each tree should have about FIVE
or six shovels full Of dirt mounded
around its base. This simple rem
edy will not only keep away the
mice. but will also strengthen the
trees resistance to the high winds
OF fall and winter.

COUNTY SWINE BREEDERS
SEE NECESSITY OF FEED

The Starke County swine Breed
ers' association recently held its
first annual hog sale. disposing OF
40 head TO men in that and sur
rounding counties, one SOW selling
for $40, the top price of the sale.
The sale showed the value OF get
ting better hogs distributed
throughout the county and also
that if suitable prices are to be OBJ
tanned for pure-breds they must be
properly grown, must have plenty
of length and size, necessitating
proper feeding. The breeders who
had animals consigned are planning
to overcome these points and next
year they expect a bigger sale than
ever.

are Injurious to and destructive of
fishes at the hatcheries.
All Of the above NAMED birds are
given protection under the Migra-
tory Bird Treaty act, approved by
the president July 3, 1918, but the
secretary Of agriculture may per-
nit them to be killed when upon in
vestigation. they are found TO be
seriously Injurious to agricultural or

essary for the preservation Of the
fishes at the hatcheries.

The order is very definite and
provides that every bird killed or
trapped pursuant TO the permission
contained therein and every part of
such bird. including the plummage

SEED At
HUSKING TIME
Purdue Extension Depart
ment Advises Securing
WelI-matured Corn.

Now that it is too late for farmers
to advantageously select their seed
corn in the best way from the stand
ing stalk specialists in the Soils and
Crops Division of the Purdue Exten-
sion department are advising that
the next best thing be done which is
to select best ears at husking time.
The ear which is selected should
be one that is we'll matured as well
as of good size The stalk hold
ing the ear should be strong and
healthy. with evidence of good leaf
and root development The ear
should be carried at convent
ent height on the stalk. The shank
should not be broken and should be
held securely. a broken shank is
ordinarily "a sign OF disease and
should be carefully guarded against.
Extreme droughts in some sec
tions of the state during the past
season have, to u certain degree.
dwarfed the ear. Past experiences
at Purdue have shown that where a
good type of corn was dwarfed by a
dry season. seed selected from it
produced the original good type OF
corn the following year. if conditions
ware favorable

1920 To SET ROAD
BUILDING RECORD
Nearly Billion and a Half
Available For Hard Sur
face Highways.

WASHINGTON. D. Q. Nov. -
While the expenditure during 1919
for hard-surface highways. accord
ing 10 estimates OF the bureau Of
public roads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, will set a
new record with a total Of S13s.O0O.-
900, this figure is small in comparl-
son with the computed available to-
tai for 1920 OF 1888. 100000, the
spending OF which promises to be
dependent chiefly on the quantity Of
materials and the present limited
railway facilities can transport.
Unless the available open-top cars.
many of which normally lie idle in
the late winter. are utilized in that
slack season the work which can be
done will necessarily be curtailed for
lack of materials. The total for 1920
is more than four times the amount
that has been expended during any
previous year for like purposes.
Therefore there must he a tremend-
Gus increase not only in the material
supplies and shipping facilities but
largement Of contractors organiza-
tions.
Should Ship Early.
First OF all, according to Thomas
H. Macdonald. chief of the bureau
of public roads, the attention Of all
state. county. and city road-build
ing interests should be directed to-
ward overcoming this car shortage.
To this end il is recommended that
the shipping Of materials begin ear
lier than usual The first step in
accomplishing this Mr.. Macdonald
points out, rs 10 place under con-
tract during December and January
as great a mileage of roads as pos
sible
Il has been customary TO wait I'M
til contractors organizations were
ready to begin work before starting
the shipment Of material. Under
these conditions many thousands of
open-t top cars lie idle durir 2 the lat
ter part of February, all of March
and the earlier part of April. Dur
ing the past spring the number Of
open-top cars that were idle totaled
100000.
This. Of course. was partly un-
avoidable owing to the late date at
which work got under way. follow
ing the signing of the armistice BY
awarding contracts as early as pos
sible, contractors will be able TO as
certain their material requirements
at different points. and so will be in
position TO place orders dependent
on rail transportation a considerable
time in advance.
While the placing OF material in
storage, which may result from such
course. involves some expense. it
will be small compared to the loss
that will result if contractors are
not in a position to go ahead with
the work because of lack OF ma
terials. In view of the experience of
1919 and the greatly increased pro-
gram for next year. it seems prob
able, according to the bureau Of pub
lie roads. that contracts which are
not awarded during the winter
months will have little opportunity
for being supplied with materials
which require rail transportation

are practical and may be purchased
az a reasonable price. Driving spike

and placing The ear over the spikes,

method. Retaining the buck on the
ear after 10 is drawn back and hang
ing the ear from the rafter has
given good results.
After the corn has been through

freezing should be taken throughout
the winter for fear that all the

practical methods is laying the ears
