WIDE DISCRETION URGED IN
REGULATING ROAD TRAFFIC

Regulation of the character and
weight of highway traffic to prevent
undue injury to the highway is an
administrative matter and cannot be
properly taken care of by detailed
and arbitrary legislation. This is
the conclusion of the Bureau of Pub.
lie Roads of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, based on ex-
periments to determine the effect of
all kinds of traffic on road surfaces
and observations on conditions over
the United States.
Even in a single state conditions
very to such an extent that a load
which may be carried on one road
without injury may cause untold
damage to another. Under the aver
age regulatory laws thus far made
effective. the greatest service has

LAMBS MAKE UP 80 PER
CENT OF MARKET SHEET

More than three-fourths, or about
80 per cert, of all the sheep that go
to market are lambs, market re-
ceipts show. Demands of the con
Stunning public for small, juicy cuts
which cannot be obtained from older
sheep and the fact that sheep return
larger profits when marketed as
lambs are pointed out by L. ]. Hor-
lacher, in charge of sheep work at
the College of Agriculture, as the
two main reasons for this condition.
THE most profitable lamb is the
one which reaches marketable
weight at an early age and requires
minimum amount of feed. The
most popular weight for lambs is
about so pounds, although early in
the present season those weighing
around 40 pounds topped the market.
AS a general rule, no lamb weigh
ing less than 60 pounds will bring a
top price.
Quality and breeding are contin-

not been secured from the best
roads, nor the safety of the lesser
capacity roadways assured. The in.
fluence of sub-grade soils, tire equip
ment distribution of load to the
wheels, speed and many other vari.
ables is too complex to be written in
to law.
The seasonal variation alone in
the carrying capacity of the road
beds, due to moisture conditions, is
one of the most serious of all the
causes of road damage. Highway au-
thorities, therefore, must be given
wide discretion in traffic regulation.
The bureau urges that as a solution
of the problem the state highway Of
ficials of each state be given broad
powers, so that traffic can be regu-
lated to suit conditions as they ex-
list at any particular time.

DEATH FROM SNAKE BITES
RARE IN U. S., FIGURES SHOW

Although the average mortality
from American venomous snakes is
a little more than 10 per cent of the
persons bitten, death from snake
bites is quite rare, according to the
biological survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
because relatively few persons en-
counter or are bitten by the danger
Gus species.
The most venomous of our native
snakes live in lonely, little-settled
districts, often on stony or swampy
land that cannot be cultivated. Usu-
ally they disappear at the approach
of man, and while they may strike
if provoked, the popular belief in re
spect to the distance they can strike
is erroneous. Three-fourths of their
own length is about the greatest pos
sible distance. If the legs are well
protected when one is going into
deep woods or places known TO be
infested by rattlers or other poison
GUS snakes, there is slight chance of
being bitten.
AS the food of snakes consists of
living prey, they cannot be killed by
poisoned bait The only method
thus far devised to kill them seems
to be clubbing or shooting. This is
best done in early spring, when they
are still sluggish after the winter hi
bernation. Allowing hogs free run
Of infested land may reduce the
number of snakes. However, the
popular idea that hogs are immune
to snake bite is probably based on
the impenetrability by the venomous
fangs. of their thick skin and fat lay
er rather than on actual immunity Of
these animals.
The varieties most comonly found
in this country are the Elapidae. or
Harlequin snakes, and the Crotali.

uing to command a premium on our
markets. Experimental work at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station has shown that lambs sired
by purebred rams not only weigh 10
pounds more a head when five
months old than those sired by scrub
rams, but also that they sell for an
average of so cents more hundred
pounds because of their type and
quality. After the middle May, mar
kets begin to discriminate against
bucky lambs the loss on these having
been as much as 81 hundred In
some isntances already this season.
The meat from buck lambs is courser
and less p,alatable than that from
wether and eve lambs.
"Under average conditions lambs
intended for the market should be
sold at weaving time Records at the
station farm show that during the
hot summer months they make little
or no gain after they have been
weaned. The fact that prices always
are less during the fall months than
they are earlier in the season is an
additional factor in favor of selling
the lambs Immediately after wean-
ing.
Large numbers of ewes are ruin
ed for breeding purposes each year
by caking of their udders at wean-
ing time. Placing them on dry feed
or sparse pasture to check the milk
flow and milking the udders out two
or three times to prevent congestion
will help prevent this. Ewes usual
ly are dried up from four to six
weeks before the beginning of thea
next breeding season"

Elementary Certificate
Not Good for Hi School

Teachers holding only elementary
certificates cannot teach in high
schools in Kentucky, according to a
letter just sent to members of the
boards of educations throughout the
state by Superintendent of Public
Instruction George Colvin. Teachers
in these schools must have had a
certain amount of college or normal
school work.
"a teacher must hold a certificate
which entities him to teach in a pub
lie high school," says the letter.
"This certificate must be in full
force when the contract is made and
must not expire during the school
term.
"Any one of the following kinds of
certificates legally entities the holder
to teach in high school, but some ad-
ditional qualifications are necessary
to teach in an accredited high school:
Estate certificate.

cate issued by the department of ed

ers (no longer issued; high school
certificate issued by the state board
of education to graduates of stand
ard and junior colleges under certain
conditions; high school certificates
issued by boards of education in cit
ies of the first, second, third and
fourth class valid only in cities is
suing the certificate).
Mote especially the fact that an
elementary certifcte of any class
does not entitle the holder to teach
in high school.
"In addition to holding a proper
certificate the following require
ments must be met in accredited
high schools:
"Class A. At least two-thirds of
the teachers must possess an acad-
emic scholarship equivalent to grad
uation from a standard college. The
remaining one-third of the teachers
must have scholarship equivalent to
graduation from a standard high
school and, in addition thereto, the
equivalent of two years work in col
lege or normal school, a part of
which should be in professional and
pedagogical subjects.
"Class B. At least two teachers
must be employed who devote all the
time to high school work. At least
half of these teachers must possess
academic scholarship equivalent to
graduation from standard college.
The remaining teacher must have
scholarship equivalent to graduation
from standard high school, and in
addition there two years work in
college or normal school, part of
which shall be in professional and
pedagogical subjects"
