Experiments at Iowa College
With Water Gas Tar in Con-
junction With Creosote.
BY-PR0DUCT OF GAS PLANTS
Creosoting Will Lengthen Life OF
Posts of Any Kind of Wood-is
Especially Valuable With Cot
tonwood or Willow.

A new economy in the preservative
treatment of fence posts is il sight, if
experiments with the use of water gas
tar in conjunction with creosote,
which are being conducted by forest
ers of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station, justify the belief that
the tar can be utilized.
Water gas tar, by-product of arti-
fetal gas plants. is much cheaper than
creosote. The purpose of the expert
ments is TO determine whether or not
the tar can be successfully used in
mixture with the creosOte and in what
proportions to give the best results.
The economic value of the preserva-
tive treatment of posts has been DEM

SPRAY POTATO LEAF HOPPER
Bordeaux Mixture Should Be Applied
Thoroughly to Under Side
of the Leaves.

You can get the potato leaf homer
by using bordeaux mixture. The
formula employed consists of four
pounds of copper sulphate. four
pounds of unslaked lime to fifty gal
Ions of water. The spray should be
applied to the under side of the leaves
thoroughly, using at least $50 pounds
pressure. This pressure gives a fine
mist spray. At least three applications
are recommended and fourth might
be given to advantage. Both sides Of
each row should be thoroughly
sprayed to make the job complete.

SILAGE MIXTURE TO
FINISH OFF CATTLE
Steers Make More Economical
Gains and Shrink Less.
Test Made by Department of Agricul-
ture in Cooperation With Louisi-
ana Station-VaIue of Different
Crops Worked Out.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
To get results economically most
cattla feeders should use some kind
of silage in the rations, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Steers fed on silage usually not
only make more economical gains,
shrink less, and make more profits
than steers fed ON dry roughage, but
also make it possible to utilize crops
grown primarily in rotation for re-
storing the fertility of worn-Out lands.
The comparative value of number
of different Silage crops for steer feed
ing was recently worked out by the
department in cooperation with the
Louisiana experiment station. In one
instance similar lots of cattle were
fed a ration of cottonSeed meal and
blackstrap molasses in combination
with corn silage, corn and Biloxi soy
bean silage. sorghum silage, sorghum
and Biloxi sOy-bean silage.
The best gain was made by the
steers fed the straight corn silage, but
it was shown that the capacity of a
farm for fattening or wintering cattle
The St. Mary banner., 1922-08-19

satisfactory treating tank, made OF
galvanized iron, about 36 inches IN dl-
ameter and IS inches high, can be pur-
chased for about so.
This tank is mounted about foot
from the ground on Il brick founda-
ti0n. which contains a fireb0X. Wood
is used for fuel. If the posts are To he
given top as we'll as a butt treat
ment, they can be inverted in the tank.
This should be done in the case Of soft
woods.
In the single tank treatment the
creosote is heated to a temperature OF
200 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit Enough
creoSote is put into the tank TO sub
merge the lower three or three and
onc-hflf feet of the posts. The tenn
pcrature IS maintained at about DO
degrees for from two to six hours, de-
pending upon the kind of wood being
treated. The harder the wood the
longer it should be immersed. The
fire is ALLOW ed to die down and the
posts are left in the cold creoSote for
from four to fourteen hours.
If two tanks are used the work can
be speeded up, since the cold bath is
applied in the second tank. The ere
oSote should penetrate the posts to a
depth Of from one-quarter to one inch.
Tests should be made to see that this
is secured.

Removing Posts After Treatment in
Creosote-The Posts Are Allowed to
Drain in the Barrels.

OnStrated in many cases, says u. b.
Macdonald, head of the forestry de-
partment at the college. Creosottng
will lengthen the life of posts of any
kind of wood, but it is especially valu-
able with soft woods.
Tests have shown that such soft
woods as willow and cottonwood,
which last only three or four years II
untreated, will serve as posts for from
20 to % years when treated. This
fact makes possible the utilization by
the farmer of woods of this kind on
the farm which would otherwise be
practically useless.
1t Is practicable, Mr.. Macdonald
points out, for a farmer to set out a
small plantation of quick-growing
trees, such as the cottonwood, and in
five or six years have the start Of
mated that a post per acre IS needed
every year. A considerable saving can
be made by the farmer who grows
and treats his own posts.
Two methods of creOsoting posts are
recommended by Mr. Macdonald. one
in which one tank is used and another
which requires two tanks. In the first
method posts are put into the creosOte
tank with the creosote at a high tenn
perature, and are allowed to cool in
the same tank. When two tanks are
used the posts are transferred, after
their bath in the hot creosote, to the
other tank, which contains cold creo-
sOte.

JUDdu FAIR CANDIDATE
FOR CHIEF JUSTICE

MILES CITY, July 27.-George w.
FAIR, of this city, associate Justice of
the state supreme court, has formally
declared his intention here today to
file for the Republican nomination as
chief justice of the supreme court.
Judge Farr is now serving on the su-
preme court bench, having been ap-
pointed to fill the vavcancy caused by
the death of Judge F. B. Reynolds, of
Billings.
In his ~declaratory statement Judge
FAIR says that he will administer the
law without fear or favor, without re-
gard to technicalities, so as to do ex-
act justice to all and that he will do
all in his power toward the simpplifi-
cation of procedure and the elimina-
ton of delays in court work.
Judge Farr says that he regards
the law as a living thing growing
with the state and the nation in con.
formity with present and future So
cial, economic and industrial needs
as pointed out by experience ans
called for by the enlightened publi'
conscience of the people.

ton work in improved methods of
washing and ironing. In Saline
county, Missouri, only 2 per cent Of
the people sent the washing out Of
the house, Is per cent still used the
washboard, 40 per cent used hand
machines, and SO per cent used power
washers. The average time for do
ing washing with a power machine
was two hours, as compared with
four and three-quarter hours with a
washboard. In ten families where
machines have been purchased since
the survey was made, it is estimated
that two and three-quarters hours a
week, OF 1873 hours a year, are saved
in each household.
In Lafayette county, SO per cent OF
the washing was done at home. The
tub and washboard method was used
by 20 per cent, hand power machines
by 81 per cent, II per cent had gaso-
line washing machines, and Is per
cent had machines operated by an
electric motor. Clothes were handled
five times on an average. The time
for doing washing by motor power
was approximately half of that used
to do it by tub and washboarc

LIEUT.. GOV. STORY
SAYS STACK GRAIN

With a possibility of the strike sit
uation developing a more serious
condition than now exists, Lieutenant
Governor Nelson Story, Jr., deems it
advisable for the farmers in the Gal
latin valley to take extra precau-
items in care of grain crops this sea-
son He has consulted with railroad
officials and finds them uncertain as
to a possible early settlement of the
strike.
Speaking of the danger of loss to
crops, Mr.. Story says:
my advice to the ranchers of Gal
latin and the adjoining counties is to
start in right now and stack their
grain. The railroad authorities arc
none too optimistic about a speedy
settlement of either the railroad o.
coal strikes. Even were these strike:
to be ended within the next two week:
it would still be impossible for the
railroads to get into position to han
ole the grain and it would be impos
sible to get the coal needed TO
~threshing purposes.
"The farmers ought to realize thi
fact right now and make prepare
tons accordingly. They have a BIZ
crop of wheat and it will pay them t
make plans Immediately to stack i
and await an opportune time t
thresh it and ship it. Otherwise the
will stand to lose heavily.
"The coal supplies r gettln
short in every part of the nation an
with the near approach of cold weatf
er the domestic needs will receiv
the first consideration. The raj
roads, too, must have coal for Opel
alton, and the industrial concern
will probably be able to insist on tt
filling out of their existing contract
for coal ahead of coal for threshin
grain.
Il know that farmers hate to staC
their grain. 1t requires more wor
but this year they will have to con
to it or lose a considerable proportiC
of their crops, / am afraid"
