CURB OILS SHOW
TENDENCY TO LAG
Movements Of Group Not in
Line With Developments in
Petroleum Industry

New York. Nov. 7.-Movements in
the petroleum group in the curb market
today were not in line with the impor-
tant developments recorded in the pc
troleum industry, especially in the news
that Mid Continent Oil had been ad-
vanced fifty cents to 50 barrel, or
double the price at which it sold about
four weeks ago.
Instead Of these improved conditions
in the petroleum trade bringing in out
side buying. moderate speculative ac-
met n supply Of stock that caused re-
cessions in a number Of issues. Mara
caibo was feature, that stock. after
selling at 261a, falling back to 25A and
Standard Oil of Indiana, the strong
stock of the last week, opened up at
S5A and fell back to S45s in the first
half of the day.
Other issues showed little change in
their trading position, but importance
was attached to their failure to make
substantial advances. Cities Service
was again traded in at 1872 and the
Bankers shares sold at 213A to 21A.
International Petroleum was quiet,
selling at 10, and Mexican Eagle was
traded in at 1924 to 13. There was a
small amount of business in Anglo
American at 10 to 1914. Low priced oil
stocks also showed a tagging tendency
during the first two hours of trading
when Y Oil and Gas sold at 80 and
90. Salt Creek was in fair demand
and moved up from 1875 to 1871. Tuck
eney Oil was steady. selling at rs.
Narrow movements also were re-
corded in the industrials, generally,
and these issues failed to show sub
stantial variations in prices. British :

FREEZING FRUIT TO.
HELP PRESERVATION
Method Has Passed Expert
mental Stage in West.
Practice is to Be Recommended in
Sections Where There Is Surplus
and Sufficient Cold Storage
Space Available.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment CT Agricultural
Preserving fresh fruit by freezing
has passed the experimental stage III
the Middle Western and Pacific states.
The office of preservation OF fruits
and vegetables, bureau OF markets,
has been investigating the new meth
cd for several years and the inves-
tigatorS report that such fruits as
strawberries, raspberries, logan ber-
ries, blueberries, currants and cher
rieS are now being frozen and held III
commercial lots.
SO far as the process is concerned,
this method of preservation has all
the merits of simplicity. The fruit is
frozen in the same crates in which 1t
is marketed. The temperature re-
quired is about 10 degrees F., though
soft fruit is usually subjected to a
lower temperature than that of bet
ter quality. SO long as the tempera-
ture is maintained the fruit can be
kept in storage. The frozen product
mus be used as soon as it is thaWed.
however, as thawing breaks down the
tissues and allows the fruit to decay
rapidly.
In ice cream. or when made into
pies and preserves, the frozen fruit is
in every way comparable to the fresh
product. In preparing their report the
representatives Of the United States
Department of Agriculture state that
the practice is to be recommended in
sections where there is surplus of
production and sufficient cold-stOrage
space available to accommodate the
fruit. only fresh, sound fruit should
be frozen. Freezing does not do away
with mold. though mold will not de-
velop as long as the fruit remains at
the temperatures employed.

IMPROVED
ROADS
LARGER REVENUE FOR ROADS
Tendency Toward Devoting Increased
Portion Of Motor Vehicles ak
to Highways

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
For a number of years the general
tendency toward devoting an everln-
creaSing portion of the motor-Nehlcie
revenues to road work under the
control and direct supervision OF the
state highway departments has oeeh
very noticeable. Prior to 1912 only
very small portion of the motor-yehlcie
registration was devoted to TINS
purpose In 1920, rs per cent of the
revenue, or 1871 ,5S2,57, was applied
10 road work under the direct super
vision of the state highway depart
ments, and in addition S2O,4655IS.o4
was applied to road work by counties
or other local supervision. but with
little or no direct supervision from me
state highway departments.
In most states the motor-vehicie
revenues are devoted TO maintenance
and repair Of the state roads or other
improved highways. These states
seem to have solved fairly well the
for the maintenance of the more I'M
portant roads under the ever-increaslng
traffic requirements. As both the
traffic and the revenues increase with
the number of cars, there apparently
exists q possibility of so adjusting the
registration rates as to keep pace win
the ever-growing maintenance charges.
A number of the states having IN
general but small mileage Of I'M
proved roads have recently adopted
the plan CT capitaliZing the motor
vehicle revenues and devotlng
these funds to road construction. The
states doing this are Illinois, Maine,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Utah,
and Wyoming. In them bonds have
been voted or issued for road con-
struction, and the principal, in some
instances also the interest is to be
paid entirely from the mOtor-vehfcle
revenue.
At the beginning Of 1921 there were
still seven states In which motor
trucks were registered at the same
rate as passenger cars, but in recent
years there has been very decided
tendency In most states to Increase
the fees required for motor trucks
over and above those required for
passenger cars. This increase Is
usually based on the weight Of the
truck and its carrying capacity, its
horsepower, or a combination of these
factors. The most general practice
seems to be toward definitely limiting
the maximum total road weight Of the
vehicle and basing the registration fee

Garden Club Boy in His Patch Of
Potatoes.
ducing bigger potato yields, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
recently published Farmers Bulletin
119O, How to Grow an Acre Of POta-
toes" 1t is prepared especially for
use in boys and girls club work, and
every step from the selection Of the
potato soil to the harvesting, grading,
and storing Of the crop Is discussed.
Best Potato Soils
Gravelly or sandy loan soils are gen.
orally considered especially well
adapted to the production Of large
crops Of potatoes, provided they are
well drained and well supplied with
plant food, says the bulletin. A very
light sandy soil or stiff clay soil
should be avoided. The ideal soil is
one that does not run together with
rains, that works easily, is well sup
piled with humus, and, while well
drained, is naturally supplied with
mois ure. Clover and alfalfa are re-
garded as the best preparatory crops
for potatoes.
Prepare the Land Thoroughly.
Potato soils should be plowed as
deeply as possible, but always remem-
Der not to turn up more than an inch
Of the subsoil. The fall is the best
season to plow When the land is
plowed at this time it should be disked
and narrowed as early in the spring
as possible to conserve the moisture
and to prevent weed growth. Spring
plowed land should be disked immedi-
ately, in order to prevent the possible
packing Of the newly turned soil. In
preparing the seed bed spare no pains
to put it in good condition. If the
crop is planted on land that is poorly
prepared no amount of subsequent
cultivation will entirely remedy the
defeat
Select the variety that is known to
be adapted to the section Use the
best seed obtaineble, and, if possible,
make sure that it has been produced
from strong. healthy plants that have

Of even, marketable size and uniform
shape. Before planting, the seed should
be disinfected with fOrmalin solution
to prevent potato scab. Better yields
are obtained by the use of from Is tc
IS bushels of seed per acre, though
the average for the United States is
SO bushels. Cut blocky seed pieces,
weighing from one to two ounces each.
After planting, Keep the surface OF
the ground loose until the plants ap-
pear. then deep cultivation should be.
gin, but as the crop develops shallow
tillage is recommended. Insects and
diseases should never be allowed to
get established, but should be con-
trolled by suitable fungicides and in
secticides such as are described in the
bulletin. When the crop is being har.
vested, n systematic effort should be
made to select desirable tubers for
next years seed.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there 10 one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root il
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the -.
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 30
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is ON sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
