HEADLIGHTS ON
VEHICLES


The Zone hoss' shay and the lum-
bering farm wagon each will have to
carry headlight il the state bureau
of public works has it's way about it.
This was brought out Monday in the
address Of William j. Hall, state COM
missioner of public works, addressing
the newly organized Idaho chapter Of
the American Association of Engin-
GERS. Commissioner Hall told the
members that among a number Of
amendments Of existing road laws,
there will be one proposed At the
next session Of the legislature requir-
ing all vehicles that use the public
roads to carry a light, whether pro-
PEELED by motive, animal power, or
pedestrians.
While the commissioner is about it,
why not compel pedestrians to carry
head and tail lights?
Commissioner Halls address re-
viewed existing and future problems
in Idaho highway construction, fea-
ture of which was his statement that
tax payers must not expect their road
troubles to be over when roads now
under construction are completed
On account of the vast undeveloped
and partially developed areas, the
great distances to be covered, the
relatively small population and the
small average assessed valuation of
the states entire acreage, it is i'm
possible to consider ideal types and
standards except in a few instances.
The present object the bureau, there
fore, is to build grades and drainage
structures to desired standards and
to provide surfaces as good as can be
produced, with available funds but in
all cases to provide sufficient surfac-
ing to preserve the subgrades until
the increase in traffic makes hard and
permanent surfacing imperative.

PRESBYTERIAN.

We had a very blessed service last
Sabbath morning. One person united
with the church on reaffirmation of
faith and two persons publicly con-
fessed Christ as their Savior. At
every communion service during the
present passionate we have received
members into the church. Sometimes
there has only been one, but we keep
on and hope on realizing that the
Kingdom will eventually be built up
by just such processes.
Next Sabbath we are to be told by
a number of people what kind of a
church we Should Have" This does
not mean that the speakers are alto
qether dissatisfied with the present
church, but rather a presentation Of
views in the hope that some workable
program may be evolved from them.
In the morning, the layman and wo-
men are to present their views; in the
evening, the minister will present his.
Prayer meeting will be held on
Thursday at 1880 D. m At the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. NJ Buchex. We bid
vou welcome.-James Adams, minister

| Corn silage, free from mold and moi
too acid, promotes thrift and keeps the
digestive tract in condition. While
the amount that has been fed success
fully to pregnant ewes varies from one
to five pounds, safe rule is to feed
two pounds per head daily in combina-
ton with alfalfa hay. After lambing,
the proportion can be increased
A number of Idaho range men make
the practice of reserving the silage
until after Landing time. This is in
order that the milk flow may be in
creased as the lamb grows larger.
1t is only recently that the value of
corn silage as ration for lessening
the cost of fattening sheep has been
recognized In checking results with
seven trials, it was found that 100
pounds of good corn silage saved eight
pounds of corn and "A pounds of clov-
er hay. Counting corn at &c per pound
and clover hay at SIS per ton, silage
had value of s11.40 per ton Be
sides cheapening the gains by the ad-
dition of silage, better finish was
usually the result, although not al
ways. In feeding both cattle and
sheep, the result depends largely upon
the quality of the silage and the care
in feeding.
In Idaho, records have been kept on
over 400 head of steers fed silage COM
pared with 400 fed hay alone Taking
100 head of each that made the small
est gains, the results are somewhat
in favor of the hay. Taking 100 head
of each that did the best, the results
are in favor of the silage- In the lat
ter case, these were with the most
careful feeders hence the results are
possibly above the average. At any
rate, much better care and more at
tention has been given by these men
than in the case of many feeders. The
results of the best lots are as follows:
Hay alone, average daily gain, 167
pounds.
Hay and silage, average daily gain,
1873 pounds.
As the best of care was being
given and the feeders in both cases
were of excellent types, the possible
explanation is that the second ration
was well planned and balanced.
Results of 10 years experience of
he experiment stations throughout
the corn belt show that silage cheap
ms ration. 1t does not necessarily !
increase the finish but the silage fed /
.attle were finished at an average of |
about $1.38 per cwt. less than when 4
he ration contained no silage. The
Indiana station reports that where
;ilage is used, there is an increase of
bout $1,000 per head on the profits.
The complaint is sometimes made
hat silage fed cattle shrink more
'ut this is due 10 the failure to prop
.rly prepare them for shipment. The
more experienced feeders cut off the
ilage for few days before shipping.
Where this is done, the objection is
argely overcome, especially as silage

ROTATIONS FOR
SOIL FERTILITY
By E. B. Hitchcock, Soils Specialist,
University of Idaho Extension
Division

Feed the land. Don't take every
thing from the soil and give nothing
back. You can't continue to write
checks on your bank deposit indefin-
itely without making additional de-
posits. Neither can you continue to
grow bumper crops on your land with
out returning in some form the plant
food elements which you are taking
out.
One of the first essentials in main
tanning and building up soil fertility
is the adoption of crop rotation The
second most important factor is to
include in this crop rotation legum-
nous crop. Questions, such as, Why
can't obtain the yields from my crops
that obtained ten years ago? What
fertilizer do need to use to increase
my yields? are being asked at the
present time in regard to Idaho soils.
This is largely the result of cropping
the soil to death with one or two crops
and in many cases failing to recognize
the value of leguminous crop.
The object in using a crop rotation
is to use crops which do not draw
upon the same plant food elements
each year. In this way the various
elements are made available as plant
food and are ready in their turn to
handle their special crop. This is
more especially true when legumin-
Gus crop is used in the rotation. It is
through the crop rotation system that
green manure crops are used to turn
back to the soil as organic matter
and this is the biggest feature in
maintaining the soil fertility.
Keeping your soils well supplied
with organic matter is very import
ant owing to the fact that practically
all of the nitrogen in the soil is held
by this material. In addition to this,
a soil containing plenty of organic
matter holds more water, does not run
together and bake and makes the un-
available plant food elements more
available. Any means of permanent
ly increasing the producing power of
your soils without the use of organic |
matter will be financially unsuccess-
full. In many sections Of Idaho there
is not sufficient barnyard manure to
turn back to the soil and therefore
you must use green manure crop,
preferably leguminous crop.
Most everyone is acquainted with
the fact that the term "lcgume" means
a crop on the root hairs, on which are
found plump dwellings resembling
gals, which are called nodules. These
nodules contain bacteria which take
nitrogen from the air. If the seed is
well inoculated the bacteria win take
from the air and make available for
the plant, from so pounds to 100
pounds of nitrogen per sore. In this
way the nitrogen contained in the soil
S kept in reserve to large degree for
following crops. After the legume
has been grown on 4 certain piece Of
ground from two to five years, de-
pending on type Of legume, the last
.rop of the season is turned back to
The soil. Experiments have proven
hat two-thirds Of the nitrogen con-
tent in q leguminous plant is contain

CORN SIIACE FOR
STOCK
By E. F. Rinehart.

Numerous inquiries as TO the COM
parative value Of corn silage and al
falfa hay have been received recent
ly. Since best results are secured by
feeding the two together, a compari-
son is difficult to make. Alfalfa hay
is an unbalanced ration containing an
excess Of protein and = Ehortage of
sugar and starch. Corn silage is an
unbalanced ration containing an ex-
cess Of sugar and starches and q
shortage of protein The combination
Of the two feeds makes balanced IA
ton where there is but little waste TO
be thrown off.
A very common practice is to esti-
mate good silage worth five-eighths
the value Of hay-that is, when hay is
worth $16 ton, silage is worth $40
ton. Oother sections take it at one
half the value of hay, and some, es-
pecially those of the east, at one
third The Indiana station, as a re-
suit Of carefully checked investiga-
tons, arrives at the following conclu-
sion in comparing the value of silage
with grain.

Fifty-two fires entailing a total loss
OF S93,220, visited Pendleton during
1919. OF this number only two are
| classed by Chief w. Il. Ringold in his
annual report as OF much importance.
The report was read and ordered filed
last night before the city council.
Only two alarms during the year
were false. Fourteen alarms came
over the alarm system and 3S came in
by telephone. II required the laying
OF 22,40O feet OF hose to fight the So
fires.
Equipment Worth si2.7G3
Equipment belonging to the fire de-
partment at present is valued at $12,-
7G5 in the chiefs inventory of stock.
The motor truck and auto of Combina-
tion Hose Company No. / are valued
at s3565. Materials at the other sta
tions is placed at 5000. There are
400 feet of hose in service at this
time whose total value is placed at
$4,000.
The only recommendation of the
fire chief is that the matter of truck
for the department be given serious
consideration. He SAYS that the one
now in use is in need of a general over
hauling He thanked the council for
the cooperation given the department
during the year when numerous new
articles were purchased for use of the
firemen.
% Causes Blamed
A resume of the cause of fires dur
ing 1919 showed that seven were due
to defective flues and six to burning
grass, two each to thawing pipes, auto
backflring. sparks on mossy roofs
SIN moking of cigarets in bed. short cir
cutting of an auto ignition system,
spontaneous combustion, playing with
matches and unkncwn. Each of the
