Then add the remainder Of the calcu-
lated amount Of salt, which, in this
case. would be $50 pounds. Mix it

ed, the car should stand for "a hours
Then, in order to make sure that the
temperature is right for loading, a man
provided with a thermometer should
enter as quickly as possible by open
ing one side of one dor, which should
be tightly closed Immediately. The
man should stand midway between the
doors holding the thermometer about
4 feet from the floor until the mercury
has responded to the car temperature,
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 3S degrees at this
point, it is dangerous to load the car
for haul requiring intensive refriger-
alton. 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 a car which
is able to refrigerate the dressed poul-
try properly.
"All refrigerator cars should be pro-
vided with floor rack inches in the
clear, built of lengthwise stringers
made from by lumber and crosswise
Stats made from l by 3 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
ly as possible are being equipped with
racks which are fastened to the side
walls so that they can be turned back
for cleaning"

The European corn borer undoubt-
eddy 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 well 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 eff
forts on the part Of federal and state
agencies to control and, if possible
to exterminate this insect including
in the program vigorous guarantees
to prevent it's 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 20. The state
commissioners of agriculture, state
entomooglsts and others went over
the corn fields around Schenectady,
N. Y, and Boston, Mass, and saw the
methods of destruction practiced by

culture and the state agencies. to-

Scrupulous care in preceding a re-
frigerator car for shipping dressed
poultry, always matter of impor-
lance, 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 a 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 a 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

just 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 It's bunkers should then
be filed three-quarters full with finely
broken ice; that is, no piece should be
larger than a mans fist. When the
bunkers are three-quarters full, lamp
the ice down we'll so that all cracks
and crannies are filled. Then add one
quarter of the calculated amount OF
salt on the u per cent basis. For in,

pounds of ice, when three-quarters full
it will contain $3.50 pounds. On top

BETTER ROADS or TOMORROW
Stronger Than Many We Have
Now In Various States.

With the adoption of efficient meth
DDS of construction and maintenance
for all the roads soon to be built by
the various states, and also for those
built by the large federal appropria-
ton for interstate roads under the
federal aid act, our roads of tomorrow
should be of maximum value to ev-
eryone. They will be built much wider
and stronger than many we have now,
and Of the most durable materials, for
they will have to bear a greatly in
creased motortruck traffic if the
growth in use Of such trucks in the
last few years Is any criterion.

NEED MORE GOOD HIGHWAYS
One Of Benefits of War Is Sure to Be
Increase In Thoroughly I'M
proved Roads.

One Of the benefits Of the war is
sure to be more good roads in this
country, and in other parts of the
world where. highways have not been
generally and thoroughly improved.
We used to say "better roads," but
now there is large mileage so good
that If the rest were brought up to the
best American level, nothing more
could reasonably be asked. Many
roads in America are quite worthy of
comparison with any in Europe. All
we need is more Of them, and then
still more until the country is grid
lroned and netted with such highways.

TREES GROW BEST ON SLOPES
toughest Areas on Farm Present Most
Favorable Localities for Sue
cessfuI Growth.
(By w. ]. MORRILL,, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)

(By w. J. MORRILL, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
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.

KEEP VEGETABLES IN WINTER
Temperature Slightly Above Freezing
Point Is Preferred for Beets,
Turnips and Carrots.
(By A. F. YEAGER. North Dakota Ag-

By A. f. YEAGER, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural Colege)
Turnips, beets, and carrots will keep
best at 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 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.

Paw of jap Soldiers.

In the opinion of the Jul, the pay of
Japanese soldiers is too small. At
present it is 1.56 yen rs cents) a
month for frs. and second-class pri-
Yates, and 1875 COS cents) for corpo-
rails. Even If the pay be increased SO
per cent, says the editor, it will not
suffice for the needs of the soldiers.
At present they have to get money
from home to make up the shortage,
which is not right. The total pay of
the soldiers amounts to $2,150,00O. II
it is trebled, the government will need
only $4,300,OO0 additional.
