traffic decreased 52.5 per cent Traffic of all kind increased 45 per cent.
 During the twenty-four hours, 2S91 ve- hicles passed the observation point, in-- cluding 2,0SS passenger cars, 79S trucks. 15 motor busses and 15 busses. This com pares with 1899 passenger cars in 1918, 295 motor trucks, no busses, and 97 horse drawn vehicles
 Eighty railroad freight cars would have been required to Nnove the materials and supplies which were carried on that day over the road by motor truck, This represents an annual release of 4,000 freight cars, enough to make up a train 200 miles in length. Among the tonnage carried was bar steel, building brick concrete blocks. farm supplies, food stuffs. furnaces and furniture, gasoline. hardware. lumber, chemicals, sewer pipe milk, rims and tires.
 More than 100 of the passenger cars which passed the observation point were new machines being driven overland by distributors from the factories. Some of these were en route to points as dis tant as Alabama and North Carolina. A large number of new commercial vehicles also passed over the road. If these new machines had been carried by railroad, more than twenty-five freight or ex- press cars would have been required
 One of the surprising things shown by the census was that traffic along the road never ceased at any time during the day or night. At all hours the big heavy trucks kept rumbling along, car irving materials and supplies to distant cities. The heaviest traffic was between and D. m, an average of four cars passing every minute during that time. The lowest traffic ebb was reached be- tween and a. m, when only five ve- hicles passed-one passenger car, three loaded five-ton trucks, and one loaded three-ton truck.
 The census showed that the increase in the use of heavy trucks was much greater than in smaller trucks and that a smaller number of trucks were being run without loads. In 1918 over B per cent of the cars passing the point were empty while this years figures show only 90 per cent were empty. The diff ference represents an additional carry ing capacity of 730 tons equivalent to 30 freight cars.

Motorists who are reluctantly paying may find some comfort in the state rent of oil experts that the present Shortage is caused by failure to de- velop new oil fields rather than by any lack of source of supply. The experts say there are one hundred billion bar rels of crude oil in the shale of wes- tern mountains and new fields which have immense possibilities in Central and South America. Mexico, Canada Alaska and Siberia.
 Nearly every motorist knows
 that oil and gasoline fumes are
 hard on tires yet few go to the
 trouble of providing covers for the
 spares which they carry on the
 back end of the car and which are
 constantly exposed to the fumes
 which arise from the exhaust. The
 fumes eat into the rubber of the
 tire and so weaken it that it wears
 away quickly when once put in
 use.

"Long" Prices for Vitamlne
Feeds.
By e. B. HART.

Sweet potatoes are much richer in
certain substances which are necessary
for animal growth than are white DO
tatoes. Yellow carrots are much rich
er than white carrots or parsnfps. An
exceedingly interesting fact that has
been disclosed by Prof. Harry Steen-
book of the University of Wisconsin
Is that the yellow corns, such as Gold
en- Glow, are very much more gener-
ously supplied with it than are the
white corns, such as Silver Mine.
Yellow Roots May Be Richer.
This fat soluble vitamine was first
discovered in milk and later it was
shown that it was contained in butter

from the diet prevents normal growth
and with rats its absence exhibits it.
self by allowing an infection of the
eyes. The fact that it was first shown
to be in milk and particularly butter
laid undue empha sis on these products
as source of this material. We now
know that it, like the water-soluble
vitamine, is fairly widely distributed
in nature, although in variable
amounts. 1t is found in the leafy por-
tons of plants and recent observations
made by Professor Steenbock would
indicate that it follows in distribution
the yellow pigments. Not only is it
abundant in the leafy portion Of
plants, such as alfalfa or clover hay,
or even in timothy hay, but as shown
by the work of Mr.. Steenbock certain
yellow roots and seeds contain it in
generous proportions.
Stock feeders should be interested
in all the factors that are required
for the proper nutrition of their an
imals. The recent discovery that
there are substances in both plant and
animal materials which are absolute
1y necessary for growth and proper
physiological functioning has raised
new interests and new questions.

The effect Of the absence of th4
water soluble vitamine was first
shown in the Orient where people
used highly polished rice and fish.

are abundantly supplied with this ma

Investigators tackled the problem
of finding a method to check cabbage
yellOWS in 1910
Their first clue to solution Of the
problem came when they noticed that
some plants were affected more than
others were, and sometimes well-de-
velOped heads flourished in the midst
of the disease. Here was q chance to
find out how practical program of
selection according to laws Of heredity
would be.
Seeds were taken, by plant disease
specialists from the state experiment
station, from the heads~of cabbages
that had resisted the disease in the
fields. The seeds were planted and
the process was repeated, until by
1914 the trial plots showed that a
strain of cabbages was being devel-
oped that was resistant to the disease.
1t required little urging to point out
to growers the ACCESSIBILITY Of using
the new strain. From 1915 on the
supply of seeds from the new Wiscon-
sin Hollander strain increased each
year. The cabbage industry was
saved from the yellOws and the high
priced cabbage lands along the south
ern Wisconsin shore Of Lake Michi-
gan were saved from utter failure Of
this crop.

hays, and even roots contain some
of this material, although there is
considerable variation in its content
in these materials. Even the by
products we buy back for the farm,
such as bran and middlings, contain
a supply of this vitamine. Further, it
is not easily destroyed by the ordinary
operation of handling crops, such as
drying and exposure to light, etc.
There is a note of warning that
should be sounded. The term vita
mines is new, and new things always
attract. Manufacturers and dealers
in foods and feeds are hearing the
new term. Sooner or later they will
advertise that this or that particular
feed is especially rich in vitamines,
therefore buy that feed. No farmer In
Wisconsin, Or any other state, so far
as can be seen, needs to buy a single
product as animal feed for it's vita
mine content alone. 1t will probably
be a rare condition when he cannot
produce all of these substances needed
upon his own farm.

SICK"
Such was the comment of more than
one grower in southeastern Wisconsin
about ten years ago when cabbage
yellOWs threatened to put an end to a
thriving industry. And who couldn't
appreciate the remark at the time,
when the "yellows" swept over the
fields? This fungus attacked the
roots, and dwarfed the plants which
finally turned yellow and died. Com
mercial fertilizers, crop rotation
schemes, and soil disinfectants were
found to be useless in checking the
disease.
Not only was the disease eXtinguish-
ing an industry of growing Importance
to the state, but the industry had
showed every promise of growing in
importance as more marsh lands of
the state were reclaimed. The i'm
pOrtance of some check to the raw
ages of the disease can hardly be es-
timated. Many growers were driven
out Of business, but some stuck to it
in hopes that some means of prevent
ing or checking the disease would be
discovered. Fortunately that very dis
cOvery was finally made.
