Mako Tests Of Concrete Pipe

The need for s|.andardiziHg the
methods OF Manufacture and the de-
velOpment Of standard tests and test
ing equipment to determine the
strengths Of concrete pipes has re-
suited in the establishment Of a field
laboratory by the Bureau Of Public
Boards, United States Department. Of
Agriculture, Vhere equipment is
being experimental with and tests
have been conducted. Field tests
have also been made to determine
the tensile strength, resistance to in
ternal pressure, and the previous
ness Of 40 kinds Of concrete pipe
now used in irrigation. These inves-
LEGATIONS have been prompted in part
by the high cost Of iron and steel,
which has greatly enlarged the de-
mand for concrete pipe to meet rigid
conditions in irrigation systems, no
tably where pressure pipe is needed
to carry water under high heads.
California alone now has more than
$50 concrete pipe manufacturers,
and concrete pipe is being laid at the
rate of many hundred miles a year.

Treatment of fence posts with cres-

by such treatment. Treatment is not
expensive and may be performed at
such time as will not interfere with

Round posts that have been well

out Professor Newins, are a little

Millions Saved from Wild Beasts

Taking the estimates OF farmers
and stockmen themselves, there has
been saved to them during the past
year not less than 100000 from
the hunting Of predatory wild ami
mails by the United States depart
ment of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the States. The work is done
by the Bureau of Biological Survey
and such agencies as are designated
by the various States. During the
past fiscal year about $4,000 Wild
animals were killed under the direc-
ton of the Biological Survey by a
force of between 400 and 500 skilled
hunters. Indications are that still
greater numbers we're killed by pois-
oning, though no actual count could
be made of animals thus destroyed.
Extensive poisoning operations
we're conducted in the great sheep
growing sections of Arizona, Color
ado. Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and
Wyoming. This was followed by a
marked decrease in the number OF
coyotes, particularly with a cores
ponding decrease in the losses of
sheep, cattle, pigs, colts, and poul-
try. Stockmen say that on many
important ranges not Landing
grounds the former heavy annual
losses have become negligible or
have been entirely eliminated. As
an illustration, there is an area
about rs miles in diameter in vest
ern Colorado where sheep owners
formerly reported an average loss of
about rs sheep a day throughout
the season. Poisoning operations
have been conducted through two
! successive seasons Destruction OF
predatory animals has been so thor
ough that sheep now range freely,
sometimes unattended for several
days in succession, without loss.
Losses throughout the area are nom
inal.

PERTH AMB0Y IN MOTION"
BEING SHOWN THIS WEEK

The first series of Perth Amboy
in Notion is being shown at the
Crescent Theatre this week and in
cludes many scenes about the streets
OF the city as we'll as shots of several
of the important buildings. This is
a movement to boost the city of Perth
Amboy and is something that many
of the other important cities of the
United States have used as a medium
of advertising and found advantage
Gus and profitable.
1t is claimed by civic organizations
here, that Perth Amboy, with its
great influx from foreign countries,
lends itself nobly to a well construct
ed story of the advantages of the city
as a place for employment and
moderate prices, and such a picture
If shown in other cities should prove
a gigantic advertisement for this
place.
1t is understood in a letter from
Mr.. Ferguson, who has charge of the
picture taking in this city. that the
second series of pictures will be taken
within a short time. These will in
clude views about the many industrial
plants of the city and will probably
show up the wonderful natural re-
found in this vicinity. It Is
not known exactly whether a story
will be connected with the scenes
about the factories or not, but If such
a scheme should be worked 1t would
prove a wonderful boost and ad-
vertisement to this city If shown else
where, and it is a scheme that should
be backed as something indeed worth
while.
