Roughly hewn timber beams and
iafters that support the roof of many
old barns in Ohio are relics of the
past. They go back to the days when
barn-raisings with half the commusity
participating, were the thing,
So, at least, believe rural engineers
of Ohio State University, who on July
|, will publish 20-page bulletin
about barn roofs, made of arched two
by.sixes, braced by wall and rafter
ties, one-by-eights.
In this type of barn, no cross-boams
are used, and the entire floor space Is
free of uprights. Braced rafter barns,
says II. p, Twitchell, author of the
bulletin, have been built in all parts
of Ohio during the last few years, and
their owners have found in them a
humber of advantages.
"The barn frame requires third
less lumber, and 1t Is stronger and
more rigid than the timber frame
construction. 1t uses only stock siz
es and lengths of lumber, takes only
a few men to construct, and to erect
the frame. and it has large, unob
structed mow." Mr.. Twitchell declares
For prairie counties, where higl
winds are the rule, this type of barn
bolted to its foundations in mansel
described in the bulletin, has beer
found to withstand twisters, accord
ing to the bulletin. The author shows
a picture of one such barn that wa.

The time is here when the leaf-hop-
pers again are appearing on potato
plants, and extension workers at Ohio
State University in a statement just
spraying with Bordeaux mixture for
this trouble The effectiveness Of the
spray, they say, was proved by prac-
tcal farmers in potato spraying dem
onstrations on their home farms last
summer.
Twenty.four such farmers sprayed
three times last summer, leaving a
small part unsprayed. The sprayed
portion yielded as average of 81 bush
els to the acre more than the unspray-
ed part.
Ten farms were sprayed four times,
and averaged per acre increases of A
bushels. At last years prices, the
value of this additional yield to the
acre was estimated at $55.7O. Four
teen farms were sprayed five times,
and eight farms, six times, with sim
liar results
In the counties where these demon
strations were held, 40 spray rings
have been started this year by farmers
who were in on the work last year
and by neighbors who saw the results
In these same counties the year be-
fore, there We're only three such spray
rings.
The Bordeaux generally is mixed s.
| 7-50. Four applications for maximum
results. To get at the leaf hoppers
which live under the leaves, spray
or with high-power upshot is nee

Embezzlement Case
l.. c. Stillwell made the opening ar
gument for the defense in the support
of a motion for new trial in the case
of Ohio VS.. G. b. Carpenter convicted
of embezzlement.
Mr.. Stillwell first took up the argu-
ment made by Prosecutor Ashbaugh
in the trial of the case and argued
against some of the points made by
the prosecutor. tsA e..
Mr. Stillwell held that Carpenter
subscribed for the Ala shares of com.
mon stock, paid for it and was ehtif
led to sell it. He held this was done
in lawful manner. Mr.. Stillwell as
serted that the director. Carpenter,
purchased the stock in good faith and
that it was bonafide sale. Mr.. Still.
we'll went into the testimony of b. f..
Frantz, former president of the COM
pany, and the chief witness for the
state. Mr.. Stillwell stated that the
testimony of this witness showed that
the stock was purchased by authority
of the directors. He said Frantz testi-
fed that the stock was Carpenters and
did not belong to the company. If
he legally owned it he had right to
sell it, Mr.. Stillwell declared.
Therefore" said Mr.. Stillwell,
''how could Carpenter be guilty of
the charge of embezzlement, if the
stock belonged to him and had been
paid for"
Mr.. Stillwell said Carpenter had the
sanction OF the company to sell the
stock therefore it was not embezzle.

KUSER TALKS ON
BOY PROBLEMS
TO SALEM LIONS

"As long as we have boys and
as long as we have parents who
do not understand the boys and
know how to raise them, there
will be boy problems" was one
Of the many forceful statements
Of w. L. Kuser, superintendent Of
the Oregon state boys training
school this noon at the luncheon
of the Lions club.
Mr.. Kuser deplored the fact
that Oregon has no reform school
for the older boys who are just
between the training school and
the penitentiary and also the fact
that there are no Juvenile homes
for the younger boys whose
minds are plastic and who if Civ
en- proper attention could be very
easily faced about and started In
the right direction. "It is too
often the case that the large boy
gets to talking to the smaller boy
and destroys in his mind in five
minutes all that can be done In
month or MORE" he said. 1--WE are
advocating the cottage plan in
order that we may get away from
many of the evils of the commu-
nifty system.
What profiteth man If he
gain the whole world and lose
his own boy? The fellow that
ought to be the pal to the boy is
that boys own dad but SO many
are busy and the result is that
some one else, maybe not more
than two or three years older, is
the boys pal. He learns on the
street and from vile sources what
the father ought to take time to
tell him-but he hasn't got time,
which fact in a few years often
brings more sorrow to the father
than we are able to imagine"
Mr.. Kuser spoke highly of the |
boy scout movement and said |
that 1t was his belief from a study |
Of the boys in training schools
that those that worked until
they became first class scouts
would be able to avoid the pit
falls.
