900 hens were culed. That this Gull.
ing was successful is shown by the
following figures: 19 birds were culled
from a flock of 81, and in the next
seven days the culls laid only 20 eggs;
29O birds were culled from focks to-
taling S46 and in the next seven days
laid 26 eggs. OF the entire number
of hens culled in Maine, the percentage
Of egg production for the entire flock
was 32.3, for the hens left after Gull
ing 4O.7 per cent, and for the culls
4.5 per cent.
The number of poultry owners in
structed in Maine was 3,043 and in
Texas 5000, many Of whom afterWard
culled their own tlocks. The estimated
savings represent only part Of the
total value of this work. AS result
of the demonstrations in one section
in Maine, 70 persons eliminated 1,42O
birds as culls, while in Texas the Gull
ing that resulted from all demonstra'
tons was valued at $125,O0O.
The extension agents not only dem
onstrated that the non-producing hen
could be eliminated but explained the
method Of culling SO thoroughly that
those present could 90 home and put
it into practice nearly as effectively
as the demonstrators themselves.

SPRAY FOR INSECTS IN Time
Small Hand sprayer and Weak Solu.
tion of Arsenate Of Lead Is
Quite Effective.

Like everything else, insects are
easier controlled if taken in hand
early. Potato bugs can be kept away
to a very large extent if the vines
are inspected every day or so, the yel-
low eggs destroyed and the big
striped egg-laying bugs killed. Also,
with cabbage worms and other insects
be on watch for the advance guard.
A small hand sprayer and weak so.
luton of arsenate of lead makes quick
and easy work of these very disagree
able jobs. If the spraying is done at
the first signs of approaching danger,
the garden can be kept entirely free.
Fattening bugs and worms is an ex
pensive luxury.

United States Railroad Labor Board
The decrease, which averaged fiys
cents per hour in the majority Of
cases, followed cuts Of $4OO,OOO,O0O
made last July by the board. The de-
cision, however, affects mostly main. |
tenance of way workers, although d.
cisions are pending affecting their
classification.
If the wage cuts made in the last De.
cision are extended to others expect.
ed soon, it was pointed out in railway
circles, much of the S6OO,oVOOO0 in.
crease given by the board in 1920 will
be wiped out, and wages will be re-
stored to a level which railway Off,
Gals have told the board will lead
to a new era of Development and open
the way to the employment of 20O,0Vs
men. s.
The decision is expected to reduce
present pay rolls of the railroads about
$4S,OOO,OOO a year, and to reduce the
pay of the majority of the mainten.
ance of way men five cents an hour,
but important classes of employees are
given smaller cuts. Under the majori
ty head are included track laborers
and other classes usually designated
as common laborers." @
The decision was signed by three
railroad members Of the board and
three members representing the pub
lie group. A dissenting opinion was
filed by the three members represent.
ing the labor group.
The dissenting opinion contends that
the wage scale provided in the deci.
sion is insufficient to sustain life on
the basis Of American standards.
The boards decision followed thu
hearings held at the request OF rail
roads for wage reductions, and the
counter request of several classes d
employees for increase of pay. These
hearings began in Chicago March s

Baton Rouge. e.--Approximately s'''
25O,OOO is the minimum amount now IN
hand and sight that the State High
way Department will have at its dls-
posal for the construction and mann
tenance of highways in Louisiana IN
1922, according to estimates submitted
TO the House committee on highways
by Wilson T. peterman, chairman OF
the State Highway Commission. IhlS
embraces revenue from all sources,
including state license taxes and led
eral aid.
Mr.. Peterman told the committee
that the collections from the autoInO-
bile and vehicular license taxes from
January / to date were in round fig
ures $1.6OO0O0. Additional licenses
and penalties to be collected during
the remainder of the year Will IN
crease these figures, he said, but 1t
would be difficult to make a correct
estimate because this is the first "ear
of the operation Of the department
under the new law. The additional
revenue from this source, he thought,
might bring the total to $1,9OO,OOO|
The revenue from the gasoline tax,
MIR. Peterman said, had fallen below
expectations. The first of the year
It was estimated that the gasoline tax
would yield about 100000 month or
s72O,OOO a year. Actual experience has
shown the estimate was too high
The collections ranged from $4,000
to $4,000 per month. This tax, he
believed, would bring $45O,OOO or $780,
900 during the current year.
Federal aid road funds now avail
able for the state, the highway chair
man said, amounted to $99S,OOO. This.
with the automobile license taxes, the
gasoline tax and few thousand dol
lars from the licensing Of chauffeurs
made the total of minimum OF $3,'
250,OO0 available for highway pur'
poses this year.
Mr.. Peterman said Congress now has
an appropriation bill pending that
will give Louisiana an additional allot
ment Of about $4,000 for highway pur
poses. He recommended that the llc
ensing Of chauffers by the state be
abolished and the parish and munici
palities be given authority to license
and regulate motor vehicle drivers
He thought that course to be bes
because the collection Of these license:
have been troublesome and because
chauffeurs should come under loca
police regulation.

Cultivate Your Corns,

mayor Of London within the past fifty

"The corn" explained Mr.. Gillings,

borders, and after the crop is harvest.
ed, the making Of permanent borders
may be undertaken without undoing
much of the previous seasons work.
Slopes Are Essential.
A smooth, regular surface having a
slope in one direction of about 2.5
inches to the hundred feet may be re.
garded as, ideal for the border method
Of irrigation. 1t is possible to make
borders on slopes one inch or less to
the hundred feet and on sleeper slopes
up to 2 feet and more: per hundred.
Borders have been used on slopes as
great as TX feet to the hundred feet,
but extra care must then be taken to
prevent soil and crop erosion.
The amount of water that can be
turned into the strip depends on the
size Of each strip, its slope, and other
conditions. In narrow, short strips
the head used may be reduced to half
cubic foot a second or from 20 to
25 miners inches, and in wide, long
strips 10 cubic feet second may be
none too large. A large volume of
water cannot be handled successfully
on steep slopes, but it is always DOS.
sible to divide head between two OF
more compartments.

NOW
Of BIG Benefit
Border Method Followed in West
Is Well Adapted to a
Variety Of Soils.
Water TURNED Into STRIPS
Not Profitable to Prepare Field for Ono
Crop-AIfaIfa, Glover and Other
Forage Crops Are Among
Those Favored.

The border method Of irrigation, fol-
lowed in many parts of the western
states, is well adapted to a variety OF
soils and crops and is growing rapidly
in public favor. AS described IN
Farmers Bulletin 1913, "The Border
Method of Irrigation" prepared by
Samuel Fortier and now issued by the
United States Department of Agrlcul'
ture. the method consists essentially
in the division of the field to be lrrl-
gated into series of strips, lands, or
beds, as they are variously termed, by
low, flat levees extending usually IN
the direction Of the steepest slope.
Sufficient water is turned into the up
per end of each strip and allowed to
move down the slope in thin sheet,
moistening the soil to given depth
as it advances toward the lower end.
Crops Suited for Irrigation.
1t seldom pays, it is said, to prepare
a field for the border method for one
crop. The method is well adapted to
the irrigation of alfalfa, clover and
other forage crops, as we'll as all
grains, and the forage crops may be
rotated with the grains without mod
flying the method. 1t is also possible
to irrigate potatoes, sugar beets and
other rowed and cultivated crops by
making a slight change in the borders,
SO that the latitude as to rotation is
rather wide.
The most favorable soil for borders
is a free-working loan several feet
deep, underlain by more or less I'M
pervious subsoil. AS the sheet OF wa
ter flows down each strip, the pervious
.op soil is readily moistened and the
heavier soil beneath prevents the
waste of water by deep percolation.
Borders are also very generally used
where the subsoil as we'll as the top
layer of soil is porous, not because
such formations are the most favor
able but because no other method will
do as well.
The cost of preparing land for the
border method is low as compared
with that required for most other
methods if the physical conditions are
favorable. At the same time it is usu
ally feasible to obtain a fair crop at
small cost by the use Of temporary
