TO FIGHT GOOD ROADS FOES
National Campaigns Launched Against
Ancient Enemies Of Motor World
MANY Sign Up.

Officials of the newly organized Ma
tional Motorists association declared
war on number of ancient enemies
OF the motor world following an or
ganization meeting at Chicago. They
launched national campaigns against
political interference with highway
building programs, overloaded trucks
which are breaking up paved roads,
and on increasing motor tax levies.
and declared that the campaigns will
be carried out consistently in every
section of the country.
Their attention was called to the
damage done by illegally loaded
trucks to roads about Chicago by Sem
ator H. G. Kessinger, who predicted
that the new organization will become
the champion of/50OOO,OOO people if
its program for improved motor con-
ditions is carried out.
e. e. Ertsman of the Illinois associ-
alton, and Fred H. Galley of the Ohio
State a siation were named secre-
taries oto.4te new national body and
delegated to open national headquar-
ters shortly in Washington, d. c..
An immediate survey has been ordered
to determine why gasoline prices
should continue at their present peak.
A number of the $50 delegates sent
TO the initial Chicago convention were
empowered by their local clubs to ap-
ply for immediate membership in the
new national body.
The first to formally sign up was
the Ohio State Automobile association,
with membership of 10000 The III

PRODUCTION OF YOUNG TREES
Unless Allowed to Overload, They Will
Not Be Injured by Rather
Early Bearing.

Growers of fruits sometimes are
alarmed because very young trees may
set rather heavy crops of fruit Since
it is perfectly natural for fruit trees
to bear, they will not be injured by
early production unless allowed to
overload.
As long as tree makes normal
growth. fruit production will not hurt
it. Peach and plum trees may pro-
duce considerable fruit at two or three
years of age; even when only one year
old they sometimes begin bearing.
Under the long system of pruning,
which is now being so generally prac-
ticed. there is a tendency for trees TO
bear more heavily and earlier than
under the old system of heavy cutting
back. 1t has been noticed that despite
rather heavy fruit production at an
early age. such trees will make fine
growth and apparently there is no in
terference with their general condi-
tion.
While heavy thinning may be desir-
able in the case of young fruit trees.
they may be allowed TO bear some
fruit. and the practice of those who
pull II OF seems to be unwarranted in
the face of extended observations.

WALNUT AND HICKORY
TREES HURT BY PEST
Species of Snout- Beetles Attack
Immature Fruits.
Methods Of Controlling Nut-lnfestIng
curcuIIcs Include Burning Fallen
Nuts and Spraying With
Arsenate Of Lead.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Several species Of snout-beetles
nearly related to the common plum
curculio attack the immature fruits,
tender shoots and leaf petioles Of
walnut and hickory trees. A discus
sion of four such species, all belong
ing to the genus Conotrachelus, which
closely resemble one another in ap-
pearance, habits and seasonal activ-
tiles, is given in United States De
partment of Agriculture Bulletin 1906,
Curculios That Attack the Young
Fruits and Shoots of Walnut and
Hickory, by Fred E. Brooks, entomol-
ogist.
Special characteristics of the but
ternut curculio, the black-walnut cur
culio, the hickory nut, the hickory
shoot curculios are separately de-
scribed. Methods of controlling nut
infesting curculios include burning the
fallen nuts, spraying the leaves which
they eat with arsenical poisons. and
spraying the nut trees with lead ar
senate. While the dropping of cur
culio-infested walnuts and hickory
nuts before the larvae ia them mature
affords an opportunity for destroying
the young insects by collecting and
burning or otherwise disposing of the
fallen nuts, this method is successful
only in cases of isolated trees or
plantations. Lead arsenate applica-
tions on the stems. leaves and fruit,
soon after growth starts in the spring.
can be counted on to give good re-
suits in reducing injury from butter
nut and black-walnut curculios. Spray
ing walnut trees with lead arsenate
at a strength of six pounds to fifty
gallons of water is an effective method
of controlling the butternut curculio

NEW IDEA IN ROAD BUILDING
Cement Mixed With Certain Types of
Soil to Alter Characteristics
Being Tried.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Mixing cement with certain types of
soil to alter the characteristics of the
soils and make them more suitable for
road surfacing and subgrades is an ex-
pertinent recently conducted by the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, which is
now proving its value in actual use.
The treatment was first suggested and
tried out at the Arlington expert
mental station of the bureau. Results
warranted field test, and it was ar
ranged with the California state high
way department to try it on the adobe
soil there.
A part of the federalaid project in
Solano county was selected for the
test. The dry soil was well broken up
and narrowed to depth varying from
6 to Il inches and mixed with cement
in the proportions of i part cement
to 10 parts soil and | part cement to
20 parts soil. 1t was intended to
water and roll the surface but rain
prevented. One section was allowed
TO remain untreated for purposes Of
comparison.
A recent inspection showed that the
untreated section was badly broken
up, due to the usual shrinkage cracks
characteristic of adobe soils. The
treatment is not intended to make
hard surface like concrete, but to alter
the properties Of the soil so that it
will be stable and lessen the effects of
moisture.
California plans to conduct addition
al experiments, which will be OBJ
served in detail by the bureau and
cost data obtained.

KEEN INTEREST IN POULTRY
Between So and rs Letters Seeking
information Received by Animal
industry Bureau.

Many requests for information on
poultry raising-averaging between so
and 75 letters day since early in
the year-are reported by the bureau
of animal industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. In addition
the supply of poultry literature dis
tributed by the division of publica-
tions has surpassed the records of all
previous years.
The departments literature on poul-
try raising is unusually complete.
ranging from discussions of the prin-

from plants that we're dug August 1
produced high percentage of seed
lings.
After the bushes are taken out the
tops should be separated from the
crown and balls of earth shaken from
the ground, have been found produc-
ing green leaves In such cases one
or more roots were in contact with the
soil. Some of the grubbed bushes
were completely severed from the soil,
but there was enough earth left on the
roots were formed. This condition
happens most frequently in wet
weather or in moist woodlands.
Seedlings Under Dead Bushes.
Great numbers of seedlings some
times are found growing under dead
bushes that were dug when in fruit.
The last of September berries were
collected from bushes dug August /.
and 1000 of them (about 1000 seeds)
were scattered on loose earth and
lightly covered with dirt and leaves.
The following June there were 282
seedlings on this area. The same num-
Der of berries were collected from
standing bushes at the same time and
sown under similar conditions The
following June there were 3O7 seed
lings on the area, showing that the
immature seeds were almost as viable
as the matured ones. 1t is probable
that seeds from bushes grabbed out
even before August will grow, and for
this reason it is important, says the
department, to destroy them.
Advisable to Watch Sprouts.
1t also is advisable to watch the
sprouts that Ifay come up where old
barberry plants have been taken out.
These sprouts produce seed much
earlier than bushes that grow direct
ly from seeds. Bushes were dug In
the fall of 1920. That same fall
sprouts were produced. and during the
following year they grew vigorously.
BY 1922 these plants were bearing
flowers In abundance. This summer,
therefore, special attention must be
given to places where bushes were
dug in 1920 or earlier, says the de-
partment.
