Reactions Of Turtles TO Color.

Marine turtles lay their eggs on dry
land, and as soon as the youngsters
are Matched they make straight for

Dry Tortugas sought to find the influ-
ence that guided them to the water.
When a sheet of red or yellow paper

GOOD
ROADS
GRAVEL FOR ECONOMIC ROAD
Summary OF important Points Brought
Out in Recent Address by Wiscon-
sin Engineer.

Gravel roads are given strong rec
concentration as economic highways by
A. r. HirSt. Wisconsin state highway
engineer. Not only so, but he is OF
the firm opinion that the economic
service of a gravel road is proportion
ate TO its worth. In other words If a
gravel roadway 16 feet wide has life
or service of three to five years. then
the addition of 10 feet Will increase
its Serviceable life to six or possibly
ten years.
These figures are not definite"
says Mr.. HirSt, they merely express
the comparison which it is sought TO
emphasize. Moreover this comparison
does not hold true. nor is any broad
assertion of the worth of gravel roads
quite true unless there is continuous
maintenance. Wherever gravel roads
are giving notable service good main
tenance is as much the reason rs Is
good construction in the first place"
Mr.. Hirst recently gave an import
ant address on this subject and the
following is a condensed summary OF
the main points in his discussion:
L The prime factor in determining
the relative service value of highways
IS whether they serve traffic effective
~ and inexpensively.

There Is Much Satisfaction in Produc-
ing Tomatoes of the Finest Quality.
fined to gardens in a few mining viii
lagos in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland, from which its spread
is restricted by state quarantine laws.
The disease attacks only the stems and
roots of the tomato plant, causing
small warts; it probably does not re-
duce the yield of fruit.
The Importance of the discovery of
the susceptibility of tomatoes to pOta-
to wart lies in the fact that affected to-
matO plants will serve to carry the dis
ease over from year to year in the alb
Sence of potatoes, and to introduce it
into new localities through the trans
planting of tomato seedlings grown in
infested soil. 1t is not yet known def
nitely whether all varieties of tomatoes
are susceptible to the wart disease, but
it is feared that such may be the case.
Other plants belonging to the potato
family are suspected of being suscepti-
Bile to wart, and some of these have
been tested, but with inconclusive re
suits. These tests will be repeated.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR GARDENS
Expensive implements Are Not Nee
essary-Spade, Hoe and Rake
Are Most Essential.

1t is surprising how few tools are
needed to care properly for small
home garden. Expensive equipment
is not necessary. A spade or spading
fork, a hoe, and a steel rake are the
essential garden tools. To these
should be added two wooden stakes,
and a strong string to serve as line
for making straight rows. A watering
can and a trOwel are desirable but
not absolutely necessary. Where the
garden work is to be carried on rath-
er extentively, it is a good plan to
have a wheel hoe, or a combination
seed drill and wheel hoe.
