Dairy Expert Praises School Cattle

A. J. Mcguire for many years
head of the dairy extension work
with the University of Minnesota
Cooperative Creamery Association
and Forrest Henry, one of the veter-
an farm institute speakers and a
leading authority on agriculture, Wis
tied the School of Agriculture and in
spected the herds and focks at the
Sation last Saturday at the close of
the dairy meeting in the city of
Morris.
After inspecting string of Hol-
stein cows now on yearly test all Of
which promise to make very sub
stantial records, both Mr.. Henry and
Mr. Mcclure conphmented the Sta
tion and gave it as their opinion that
the School now has one of the leading
Holstein herds among the state in
stitutions in the middle west. They
were so impressed with the young
stock being produced that Mr.. Henry
purchased young herd sire from the
School herd for his farm at Dover,
Mimi, which was shipped to him
this week.
He purchased Colantha Mercedes
de Kol, son of Mercedes. Nechefe
de Kol 5th, one of the leading cows
in the Station herd, which is now
on yearly test Mr.. Mcguire who
also manages large dairy farm, Sc
lected a son of Korndyke Lady Glen
Artis End to head the dairy herd
on his own farm. Both the breeding
and individuality of the cattle in
the School herd appealed strongly
to these men and they expressed the
opinion that the farmers of western
Minnesota had exceptional oppor-
tunities to get good breeding stock
at the West Central School.

It,"
A. J. MCGUIRE, manager of the CO.
operative creameries association, was
next introduced. Mr.. Mcclure
talked principally about his farm, 1S
miles away, in Swift county, giving
facts in regard to how he made the
farm pay. He pays his mother in
terest on $4,000, pays man around
800 a month, with all the living ex-
penses of the mans family coming off
the farm. The only thing the man
on the farm must do, is to provide
his own clothing. Mr.. MCGUIRE
said only once in the past fourteen
years had he been required to ad-
vance money to help out the farm
and that was in the last >two years
and he got that back later on.
Mr.. Mcclure gave the local cream
cry a clean bill of health, said it was
a good, clean place, where good but
ter could be made. He does not like a
cream station, he said, for the reason
that the cream is long time on the
road to the creamery, the operators
used lime and other things to over
comes the acid generated by the
spelling cream, and the butter sent
out was inferior. This resulted in a
lower price of dairy products to the
farmers.

ROAD TAX AND GAS
FIGURES COMPARED
Highway Bulletin Furnishes General
Totals to Guide Advocates Of
Motor Tax Law Revision

Widespread discussion in Minneso-
ia of gasoline tax brought peril
nent figures today in the bulletin
isued by the state highway depart
ment
Various proposals to use gasoline
consumption as the yard stick for
measuring the motor vehicle taxes,
the bulletin suggests, must recognize
facts:
Minnesota will continue a leader
for good roads only when larger
highway funds are provided, now
that other states are supplying vast
sums through bond issues and ap-
propriations.
Out of 137,750,0O0 gallons of gas
oline consumed in Minnesota during
the last year according to the state
oil inspection report, probably less
than 125, 100000 gallons were used
in motor vehicles.
A 1-cent a gallon tax on gasoline
therefore, could have produced about
| 81, 1,250,000, or one-fifth of the
amount of revenue derived from the
present motor vehicle license sched.
ules.
While 0-cent gasoline tax would
approximate, the revenue return or
motor vehicles now, a 7-cent ta1
would be necessary to yield the ex
pected annual total of 100000
of trunk highway funds, now thai
federal aid is reduced
But with a reasonable license tai
furnishing regular funds, an ad
ditional tax of cents a gallon or
gasoline and used for permanent bet
terment would mean $2,500,000 ex
ira improvements every year, paiC
for in part by tourists from othel
states and taking but $3.50, from
the average car owner in return fol
greater savings he would make OF
repairs, tires and gasoline.
TESTS show that a car making IL
miles on a gallon of gasoline on un
improved roads will cover from 18 t.
90 miles a gallon on good roads,
the bulletin continues. "Minnesot;
has registered nearly 350,0O0 moto
vehicles. Average annual travel i
estimated at 5000 miles, making
grand total Of 50,000,O00 ca
miles year in this state. A savini
of only a cent a mile on car repairs
tires and gasoline thus would aggre
gate. $17,50O,000 or more than twic
the current revenues now turned in
to the trunk highway fund. ]
would mean saving Of $50 a yea
to the average car owner. Anothe
way, a saving of 4 cents a gallon o.
! gasoline consumption would tota
more than $5,50O,O a year in Min
nesota. Any conclusion leads to tn
question of whether Minnesota ca
owners care to simply divert none
from car and tire manufacturers an
Z oil refiners to road betterments."
The bulletin states that the high
way department is collecting dat
: for the legislature but has nc
| adopted any recommendations on tn
| subject.

Failures Throughout
Country Continue
Report Shows Failures in
Delaware Higher This
Quarter

The effects of reaction from previ-
Gus initiation and overextension still
appear in statistics of business NOR
tality, failures during the first quar-
ter of this year being unusually num-
erous and involving an exceptionally
heavy Indebtedness. Exclusive of
banking and other fiduciary suspen-
sions, the insolvencies in the United
States in the three months just re-
Gently ended, as reported to R. G.
Dun & Co., numbered 1917, with liza
bilities of $216,600,710. Examination
of earlier records shows that even
the 7,216 defaults of the first quarter
of 1915, which had marked the highest
point in number of failures for sim
gle quarter, are considerably below
the present total, and the current
years Indebtedness largely exceeds
that of any former three months
period. Prior t ohtis year, the max
imum of quarterly liabilities was rep
resented by the S194,00O,000 of the
fourth quarter of 1921, and on only
seven other occasions in more than
four decades have quarterly defaults
supplied as much as $100,0OO,O00 of
indebtedness. The statement for the
first quarter Of last year, with 4,S72
insolvencies for $1S0,397, ,9S9, disclos-
ed an appreciable rise in the CONNER
-. ,4o1 I,,+ +lo pf foil
ures for the same months of this year
is larger by 54.3 per cent, and the
liabilities reveal an increase of 2O.1
per cent. Since last December, the
number of monthly defaults has con-
tinued well above the 2,000-mark, and
the March total of 2,463 is the heavi-
est, excepting that of January of this
year, when 2,723 insolvencies were re-
ported, of any month back to January
1915. Moreover, the March indebted
ness of $7O,000,000, although less than
the amounts involved in February and
January of the present year and De-
cember of last year, is larger than
that of all previous months of which
there is record. 1t thus appears that
the failure statistics continue to make
an adverse exhibit, but the returns
mainly reflect the influence of past
conditions, and the elimination of
many weak spots has improved the
fundamental situation.
In the following table the number
of commercial failures in each month
of the first quarter is compared for
three years, with figures of liabilities
given for this year:
Newark post., 1922-04-12

The 1,16s commercial failures, with
aggregate liabilities of 23,949, ,O33, in
the South Atlantic section during the
first quarter of this year compare
with TAG defaults for S15,O8O,22 in a
similar period of 1921. Analysis of
the returns by States shows more in
solvencies in every instance than last
year, the increases ranging from 2
in North Carolina to 120 in Georgia.
The number of failures is also mater
tally larger in Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, South Carolina and Florida
The record of Indebtedness, more
over, is decidedly against this year, the
amounts being heavier in most cases,
and notably so in South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.

REINFORCED CONCRETE ROAD
Experiments Conducted in Suburbs of
Washington to Determine Strength
of Foundation.

How q reinforced concrete road
holds up under heavy traffic is to be
determined by the bureau of public
roads. United States Department Of
Agriculture, through experiments to
be conducted on such a road now be-
ing built in the suburbs of Washing
ton In cooperation with Arlington
county, Va.
,1he road is being reinforced with
many different arrangements of wire
mesh and round steel rods embedded
in the concrete. The joints will be
either q crack left in the road, to be
filled with tar, or simply a sheet of
corrugated metal set on edge with the
concrete poured around 1t. Some sec
lions are to have joints running along
the middle of the road, some across 1t,
and some Will be built without joints
OF especial interest is the construc-
ton of ribbed sections. Instead Of
placing the concrete on nearly fiat
Subgrade, trenches will be dug in the
subgrade running parallel to the edges
of the road and also across the road
These trenches will be filed with con-
crete, giving the slab downward pro-
lection of concrete, and presumably
Strengthening it. Experiments also
will be conducted to determine the
Strengthening effect of treating the
earth under the concrete. On one sec
ton the earth for a depth of 6 inches
will be mixed with cement, using l
part Of cement to 20 parts of earth
In some places where there is a grade
trench under the concrete will be
filed with gravel. These trenches will
slope toward the edges of the road
and drain away any water that might
otherwise accumulate under the sur
face.
