DURABILITY OF FENCE POSTS
Not Much Difference Between Split
and Round If Heartwood and
Sapwood Equal.

Some people believe split fence posts
last longer than do round ones Prob
ably as large number hold the oppO-
site view. The forest products labora-
tory of the United States Department
of Agriculture says that one will last
about as long as the other if the per-
centage of heartwOod and sapwoOd Is
the same in both. If the percentage of
sapwOOd Is increased by splitting, the
split post will be less durable, while
If the percentage of heartwOod Is In
creased 1t will be more durable than
the round one. Exceptions to this
should be made If the posts are Of
spruce hemlock or any of the true frs.
whose heartwood and sapwood are
about equally durable.
If the posts are to be treated with
creOsOte or some other preventative.
the round post is preferable to the
split. because Of the comparative ease
with which the sapwOod can be treated
Experiments at the laboratory demon
strate that the heartwood faces or
split posts do not, as rule, absorb
the preservative as well as does the
sapwood.

O. r. Sweeney, head of the chemical

the by-product formerly used mainly
for pipes and fuel.
The most important use discovered
thus far Is the manufacture of fur
furol. highly desirable product used
in the dye industry. Since this indus

States the new by-product has great
commercial value. Another use is In

ROAD LEGISLATION OPPOSED
Engineers, Dairy Farmers, Fruit and
Vegetable Growers Making Vigor-
Gus Protests.

All industry and a great portion OF
the agricultural interests of the cOun-
try are up in arms against the hasty
and ill-advised legislation already en-
acted by few states and pending in
others which threatens to strange one
of the nations most essential indus
tries, motortruck transportation, says
a writer in an exchange.
The protests come from highway
engineers, dairy farmers. fruit and
vegetable growers, grain belt shippers,
aB lines of industry and commerce and
other operators of motortrucks and
their patrons.
They say increased license fees and
restrictive legislation have been eff.
fected without sufficient investigation
and without conclusive evidence.
A Sensible solution is being worked
out by the state of Illinois. The state
highway department has under con-
struction an experimental road con-
tanning "a test sections, each section
differing from the others in design.

IMPROVED
ROADS
PROPER WIDTH OF HIGHWAYS
Eighteen Feet Should Be the Mini
mum, Not the Maximum on Main
Travelled Roads.

Through all the years we have been
trying to maintain from forty to sixty
foot roads in a large percentage or
our public highways when such a
width was wholly unnecessary. The
road sides have not been cared for
because they were waste land and
this lack of care has made them
spreaders of weed seed and hay fever.
A narrower roadway, well kept, would
In most cases serve all the purposes
required, drainage and safety, says
the Successful Farming.
Now that the roads are to be hard
surfaced the tendency is to go to the
other extreme in order to save taxes
for paving. We must look ahead. If
we put down a paving that will last
fifteen or twenty years, we must esti-
mate if possible the amount and kind
of traffic 1t will bear at that time.

If the road is dangerously narrow
now, as is the case where less than
eighteen feet is paved, what will it be
in twenty years?
Eighteen feet should be the mini
mum, not the maximum, and on main
Travelled roads a greater width will
seem narrow in twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear to the fences or sides of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path is maintained between
the road and fence. Every foot is
kept in good condition. Good drainage
is as much a part of the European
highways as is the case with our city
paved streets.
We are at the beginning of motor
transport. Unless we look ahead and
provide wider pavements, we will find
the highways crowded and our pos
sible relief from railway congestion
annulled. A few dollars saved now
in narrowing our paved highways will
prove short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly Of
constructing our canals too narrow
and locks too short. The great lakes
boats needed in Atlantic transport dur
ing the war had to be cut in two and
taken through the canals in pieces.
Ocean ships cannot reach interior ports
until the canals and locks are en-
larged. This is a highway lesson to
us. Look to the future.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
With the approach of the time for
| filling the silo, experts in the United
| States Department Of Agriculture call
attention to the desirability OF put
ting silos in shape and making plans
for filling which will save valuable
time in the rush of work. Silos are a
comparatively new feature of farm
management, and In many cases have
been built less substantially than some
of the older forms of farm structures.
SIIos Need Occasional Attention.
Even the best constructed silo will
need some attention occasionally. Con
crete silos, which are among the most
expensive of construction, require the
least attention as a general rule, but
they will give better service If the in
side is given coat of special paint
about once In three years. Paint for
treating the interiors of silos is easily
made of raw coal tar mixed with gaSo-
line and applied with tar brush. The
roof should be inspected to see If 1t Is
water-tight, and the doors may well be
looked over. They need to tit tight.
Wooden siloS, either stave or board
construction, require additional atten-
ton. The hoops Of stave silos should
be frightened and any defective pieces
of wood replaced. In wood silos, par
ticularly the cheaper ones and those

lihood of inlets for air, which will spoil
the Silage.
Careful attention should be paid to
seeing that the machinery to be used
la harvesting and storing the silage Is
In working condition. Corn harvesters
ly owned In partnership by several
farmers, and of course arrangements
need to be made In advance TO see that
all the owners get their corn in at the
season when 1t is in best shape. In
using the corn harvester the bundles
should be made rather small. While
this takes more time, the extra expense
is more than offset by the ease in han
ding the bundles and feeding them
into the silage cutter.
The corn ordinarily Is hauled to the
cutter on common, fiat hay racks. The
low-wheeled wagon Is much prefer
able to the high one. An underslung
rack can be constructed with compare
tive ease and will save much labor.
If the silage cutter and lifting ma
chinery have not been selected, every
effort should be made to get machinery
which has sufficient or excess capacity.

POTATO PRODUCTION
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Crop Commands Better Price
Than in the North.
Owing to Wide Divergence Of Season
al Conditions, Coupled With Long
Growing Season, Tubers Can
Be Planted Any Time.

prepared by the United States Depart
moit of AgricultureD
The importance of the potato crop
in the South is due to its market
value rather than its magnitude, for
owing to the season In which IT is
harvested 1t commands better price.
usually. than the late crop In the
North. The wide divergence of sea-
sonal conditions In the South, coupled
with long growing season, makes IT
possible to plant and harvest potatoes
in some locality in practically every
month in the year.
Owing to varying climatic condi-
tons, due to both latitude and alti-
tude, there are three distinct potato
crop seasons in the Southern states.
These are the early or truck crop, the
late or main crop. and the fall crop,
