HAGUE ATTITUDE

! The Hague.-The United States
Government figured in the closing

The United States. he added, had no
intention of departing from its line of
conduct with regard to property ex-

The resolution gave rise to some de-

although the property had been
seized by the Bolsheviki. II was leg

record this fact The amendment was
rejected.
The Baltic States did not succeed in
their efforts to have set up some ma
chinery for possible continuance of
the work at The Hague. Believing
the Russian project for recognition of
debts and the right of compensation
for confiscated property was logical
basis for an eventual accord with
Russia. the Baltic States wanted TO
create some organization for receiving
the Moscow Government reply as To
whether the newest proposals of It's

GOOD HIGHWAYS
ROADS CONSTRUCTED IN 1921
Approximately 2s,ooo Miles Built Dur Ing Year Just Passed-Ma-
 teriaIs Lower.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Road building has recovered from the setback received during the war, and prospects are bright for the future Approximately 14,000 miles of road were constructed during the present season by the states in conjunction with federal aid, according to the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, and prob- ably an equal amount independent of federal aid. More miles of improved road were built than during any other year
 Costs of road grading and construc- tion with local materials is down prac- tcally to the 1914 level. Some reduc- dOns, also, have been made in freight rates on road materials. The i'm pOrtance of this item is shown by the fact that in some cases it has been es- timated that increased freight rates have added 10 per cent to the cost of a road. Prices of manufactured road materials tend downward; the present level is materially lower than that of a year ago.
 With the new appropnation by con- gross of S75,000000, added impetus will be given to new road construction. Many of the states are considering en

HEAT INFLUENCES CONCRETE
Discovery Made That Edges Curl Up and Down in Response to Tenn
 perature Changes.

That the edges of concrete roads curl up and down in response to changes in temperature is the discov- cry recently made by the bureau of public roads of the United States De pertinent of Agriculture in the course of experiments at the departments experimental farm at Arlington, Va.
 Curling is caused by the unequal ex pansion and contraction of the upper and lower sides of the concrete slab under the influence of heat. It has been observed during the middle of the day when the surface of the road becomes hot it expands more than the cooler underside and causes the sides to move downward. At night when the surface is cool the contraction causes the edges to rise slightly. The extreme movement may be as much as one-tenth of an inch.
 While the warping of the concrete Is not in itself detrimental to the road, it may lead to failure of the surface under the wheels of vehicles which travel over it when parts of it are not resting on the ground.

HAUL PRODUCTS TO MARKET

The necessity of keeping country roads in good condition is shown by a report recently compiled by the bureau of markets and crop estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, showing the extent to which they are used in hauling farm products to mar
 ket.

The II crops referred to in the report are corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye. rice, flaxseed, cotton (ncluding seed), to- bacco, potatoes and cultivated hay.

A Good Pasture to Range Over Pro- Vides the Best Exercise for the Breeding Flock.

quirement for pregnant ewes and it should be used when the price is right. However, a Quarter-pound along with other feeds containing protein may be better than one containing a larger amount of cottonseed meal.
 Exercise for the eve in winter is necessary if strong lambs are to be produced. They can be induced to take exercise by scattering their feed over the ground which will induce them to do great deal of walking. Another way is to do the feeding some distance from the shelter. Winter pasture will, of course, solve the prob- lem of exercise. But the flock ought not to be out in rain or wet snow, as wet fleece is a frequent cause of colds and pneumonia. A sheep will shake off dry snow and be none the worse for having been out in storm.
 Present conditions should be no dis couragement to a person who thinks of starting a flock, for the man who succeeds with live stock is the one who goes in and stays in through fat years and lean. Perhaps it is better to go in when prices are low, for then 1t costs less for foundation stock.
 It is doubtful whether a man should start keeping sheep unless his farm will allow the keeping of at least 30 ewes, and in most cases 60 or more will be handled better and more eco- nomically than very small flock. Old ewes should be discarded at five years of age. When this is done and the poorest of the eve lambs are sold three years.
