advocating a blockade of Mexico and
the seizure OF Mexican ports as guar

claims against Mexico, were described
to-day as a joke. and the Senator was
characterized as "the newest aid of the

The President said he did not believe

TUBERCULOSIS AMONG FOWLS
Disease Is Destructive and May Wipe Out Whole Flock in Remark
 ably Short Period.

Tuberculosis Is the worst disease of chickens, say Drs. L. c. Kigin and G. K. Roberts of the veterinary de- partment of Purdue university. Cattle are the source of much of the infec- ton, spreading the disease through milk and the grain in droppings. The disease is so destructive that it may wipe out the entire flock in one sea- son. If the flock is known to be tubercular, the birds should be dis posed of so as not to spread the in- lection to other fiocks. All birds should be killed and their carcasses burned. The apparently healthy birds could be used for human food if the carcaSses were inspected by someone able to detect the tubercular condition. After the diseased flock has been removed, the houses and yards should be thoroughly cleaned and all litter and droppings should be burned and the interior of the house disinfected. If possible, the interior

Big Lumber Company Buys Timber.

Washington, D. C.-The forest serv- ice of the United States Department of Agriculture announces the sale of 235,OO0,000 board feet along the upper Sauk river, Snoqualmie National For 0st, Washington. Areas adjacent to this tract which are reserved for fu- ture sale, contain approximately 1,2OO million feet of timber. Under the pro- posed plan of forest management, the average yearly cut will be limited to +O,OO0,OO0 board feet. Forty years will he required to cut out the existing fnerchantable timber. by which time the present immature timber will be ready for the ax. By the practice of scientific forestry, logging operations can thus be sustained in perpetuity.

alternate trees, pruning those remain ing, and of improving the fertility of the soil. For orchards composed of seeding trees, or inferior varieties, top-working is the solution.
 To Build Up Industry.
 In large outlying districts within the pecan range, yet beyond the limits of successful culture of southern varie- ties, the question is how to build up the Orcharding industry, and how to extend its range. In regions to which the species Is indigenous the first Ques- tion Is that of finding new varieties suitable for planting. The native for est and field specimens should be ex. amined for trees bearing desirable nuts in sufficient quantity to be profitable SciOns from such trees should be used for tOp-wOrking the inferior seedlings. Small wild seedlings can be worked over to desirable sorts by customary nursery methods. Some common mis takes made in attempting to tOp-wOrE trees are: Using those that are too old; cutting off branches that are too large; pruning too severely at the out set, thus attempting to do too much in single season; top-wOrking trees planted too close together, and top working trees standing in Out-Of-the- way places where 1t will never be pos sible to give them good care.

LOWER BIDS FOR ROAD WORK
Indications Are That Prices This Year Will Be Materially Reduced Over
 Last Season.

Prepared by the United States Department

 Early bids for the construction of federal-aid roads indicate that prices during the present season will be materially lower than last season, ac- cording to reports received by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. While bids have not been received on any large volume of work, there is, however, enough to indicate a lower level of prices.
 Grading has been bid at 20, 231S and 30 cents cubic yard in Missouri. Arkansas, and Minnesota, respectively, as compared with an average of 35 cents for the section in which these states are located in 1921.

IMPROVED ROADS
GOOD ROAD SAVES MILLIONS
Men With Tools Enabled to Reach Threatened Break in LeVee and
 Stop Rising Waters.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 A federal-aid road has just been com pleted in Arkansas which has already saved millions of dollars to the con- munity in which it Is built. Recently during high water in the Mississippi word came to Helena, Ark, that the levee at Old Town, IT miles away, was about to break. The situation was critical. A few hours delay and thousands of acres of rich farming land would be flooded, and possibly many lives lost. Helena was the only source of aid, and many men with tools and material were needed. Every available motor vehicle was pressed into service and over GOO men, prop erly equipped for the work, were in a short time speeding over the new road to save the levee. They arrived in the nick of time and by almost super human efforts damned back the ris- ing waters. Residents say that had 1t been necessary to make the trip over the old road the levee could not have been reached in time and that the workers would have needed boats rather than motor vehicles.

 The kernels of the pecan contain a large percentage of oil which is quite as sensitive to temperature changes as Is butter. In order that the shelled meats, as we'll as the unshelled nuts, may be kept in prime condition for the longest possible period, 1t Is necessary that the nuts be we'll dried before they are packed or barreled for shipment and that the product be kept in cODl and well-ventilated place during the winter months. AS soon as warm weather begins these products should be placed in cold storage at tenn perature between 30 and 36 degrees. In the smelling of nuts there is con siderable waste in the form of shells and broken meats. Growers and han. dlers are trying to find uses for these products, such as fertilizer, tanning material and fuel.

 Many important problems in grow ing and marketing oceans are confront ing the growers.
 Until recently the most experienced growers of oceans have considered the cOwpea to be an excellent summer cover crop for use in their orchards, but, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, 1t has been found that this crop is a favOrite host plant or crop for the southern green plant bug or "stink bug" which attacks the immature nuts and by perforating the soft shell with its prOboscis, reaches and injures the tender kernel. With the subsequent growth and develop ment of the nuts there arise at the points of perfOratiOn definite areas of deadened tissue in the kernel, possess ing a bitter or acrid taste, and con- mOnly designated as kernel spot" Large quantities of the finest nuts were greatly reduced In consequence. A substitute soil-imprnving crop for growing in pecan orchards is there fore needed. Among the promising things are beggarweed, bush velvet bean and soy bean. So far as is known the beggarweed Is not host plant for the bug and the bush velvet bean and the soy bean are not supposed to be attacked by this insect. Bush velvet beans are increasing In popularity as a cover crop in this section and may
