Gen. WI Pei-fu, victor '-over Gen.
Chang Tso-lin in>s'the struggle for
military control of China, declared to-
day at Changsintlen that instead Of
striving for the position of head Of
the Government he desired to devote
his energies to unity China. create
political harmony in the north and
south. abolish militarism. revive in
dustry and win the respect of the
foreign Powers.
lie expressed himself as agreeing with
the opinion of the Powers set down at
the Washington conference that China
must put her house in order. free herself
from vast armies. apply her revenue to
pay her debts and build railroads.
Wu-Pei-fu greeted a group of Ameri-
cans and British who visited his private
train twelve miles outside of Pekin.
Gen. Wu was asked whether he in
tended entering Pekin to assume the
direction of the Government. He replied
that he was not interested in politics
because of more serious questions. First
of all, he did not consider that his VIC
tory was complete until ne had captured
Chang Tso-lin. whom he desired to
eliminate as possible future menace.
He favored disarming most of the SOL
ders, but wanted reasonable defensive
army to represent United China against
foreign empires.
Regarding economic reconstruction he
declared that China's great need was
railroads. Inefficiency and the dissipa-
ton of funds resulted from the present
system of foreign investments with Chi
nese management. He purposed encour-
aging foreign investment by arranging
foreign management, with Chinese audi
torship, which Upuld assure good profits.
with the protection of foreign and Chi
nese interests alike.
AS an indication of his sincerity to de-
pose the militarists he has addressed a
memorandum to the PelSin Government
asking that he be deprived of the office
of inspector in the provinces of
Human and Hupeh.

Egg Laying Contest

The hens in the laying contest at
 Storrs are easing off a little as com
 pared with the excellent performance
 of a few weeks ago. In the thirty
 fourth week the total lay for all
 pens was 3,66O eggs or yield of a
 little more than 52 per cent. White
 Leghorns are expected to forge to
 the front at this season of the year and this is exactly what is happening at Storrs. A pen of Leghorns owned
 by George B. Ferris from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was in first place for the week with a score of 55 eggs. Charles D. Peirce's pen of Rhode Island Reds from Arnold Mills, R. l., was second best pen for the week with yield of 53 eggs. Two New York State pens of Leghorns entered by Kirkup Brothers, Matti- tuck, and Yates Farm, Orchard Park, tied for third place with 52 eggs each. W. H. B. Rents Barred Rocks from Cazenovia, N. Y., and two New Jersey pens of Leghorns owned by Beck Egg Farm at Wood cliff Lake, and Rapp's Leghorr Farm at Atlantic Highlands, tied for fourth place with 51 eggs each
 ' With the approach of summer, the poultryman's problem is not so much to get more eggs this week than he did last but rather to recognize the fact that hens will lay less eggs from this time on to the end of the laying season next l October. Good management must be practiced during the summer | months in order that the inevitable slump in egg production shall take place gradually instead of abruptly. The maximum number of eggs can not be laid by hens unless they are supplied with abundance of green food, suitable shade, cool and com fortable sleeping quarters and houses that are free from mites. These are some of the factors that every poultryman must keep we'll in mind during the summer season.

Mixing Cement with Soil
 New Idea in Road Buildina

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 experiment 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 Experimental Station
 of the bureau. Results warranted a field test, and it was arranged with the California State Highway De- partment to try it on the adobe soil there.
 A part of Federal aid project in Solano County was selected for the test. The dry soil was we'll broken up and narrowed to a depth varying from to 12 inches and mixed with cement in the proportions of 1 part cement to 10 parts soil and 1 part cement to 20 parts soil. It was intended to water and roll the sur face, 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 shrink age cracks characteristic of adobe soils. The treated sections were in good condition and showed no shrinkage cracks. The treatment is not intended to make a hard surface like concrete, but to alter the prop critics of the soil so that it will be stable and lessen the effects of moisture.
