NEW LINE TO SOLVE
LAKEVIEW- PROSPECT
HILL CAR PROBLEM
Abandon Shuttle Car and
Run Prospect Hill Car
to 24th Street.

I. Improvement of the street car SER
vice to the Pros3ect Hill-Lakeview
section of the city will be brought
about by the construction OF the Ruiz
street line, permit for which ,has
been applied for by the San Antonio
Public Service Company. according to
w. B. Tuttle. of the Traction Com
pany.
At the request of citizens who live
near the end of the Prospect Hill line,
& consultation between property own
crs and officials of the Public Ser
vice Company was held at which the
new arrangement was agreed upon.
Heretofor" regular service on the
Prospect Hill line has ended at Twen-
tieth street, transfers being made there
to the Lakeview line shuttle car.
Under the new arrangement the
shuttle car line will be abandoned. and
the Prospect Hill cars will continue
through to Twenty-fourth street. This
will enable the large number of chill
dren attending the Lady of the Lake
School to arrive at their destination
without having to transfer.
The Ruiz street line will connect
with the West End line near Sabinas
street and will terminate at Twenti-
eth street. The distance between the
Prospect Hill and Ruiz lines will be
eight blocks. Consequently the peo-
pie between the two lines who were
formerly served by the shuttle car will
not be more than four blocks from one
of the direct lines.
Work on the new line will begin as
soon as practicable, Mr.. futile said.

BIC RAISE IN
CAR LICENSES
FORNEXT YEAR
Weight Tax Put on by Last
Legislature Causes
Increase.
IS ALMOST DOUBLE
Trucks Will Have to Be
Weighed Before License
Secured.

Automobile owners who, when the
horsepower tax was levied, 10 be
followed by the gallon tax on gasoline,
thought they were bearing their share
of the TX burden, are 10 receive a
rude shock when they apply for their
1924 licenses. County License In
spector ]. W. Collins made this fact
known Saturday. The tax on tour
ing cars. the license inspector admit
ted, will be about double what it
was last year.
The reason, Mr.. Collins explained,
is because of the weight tax which
was imposed upon all motor vehicles
by an act OF the Thirty-eighth Legis-
lature. This law became effective on
June ID but because virtually every
one had his license for the year little
notice was taken of it. When it
comes to paying for the 1924 licenses,
which must be procured by January J.,
then the "howl". may be expected.
Last year motorists paid straight
tax of 80. cents per horsepower on
automobiles. At that rate Ford
ear which took the minimum rate,
cost the owner $40 in license fees.
This, of course was in addition to
city and county ad varlorem taxes.
Under the new law the horsepower
tax has been reduced to II - cents
per horsepower. If that were all
there would be no complaint. But
in addition to the horsepower tax.
the Legislature has imposed weight
tax. 1t ranges from 40 cents to
70 cents per 100 pounds weight.
Ford Was $40; Now sic.
For instance, under the old law
Ford license at the 35 cents per
horsepower cost $40. Under the
new law the owner must pay at the
rate of II IL cents per horsepower
and 40 cents per hundredweight. This.
County Inspector Collins figures. will
make Ford license cost approx
mately $12.
: The charges per hundredweight are
graduated for touring cars as fol-
lows: Weighing 1000 to 1000 pounds.
40 cents per hundredweight 1000 to
$500 pounds 80 cents: $500 to 1000
pounds, GO cents and $500 to 5000
pounds, 20 cents.

BIG TELESCOPE FOR RUSSIA
instrument Manufactured In British
Factory Weighs Nine Tons and
10 As Feet Long.

In view of the present condition Of
Russia, it Is rather surprising to find
that the Soviet government has or
dered a telescope which is one of the
largest in the world. This telescope
has just been completed in a British
factory, and will shortly be transport
ed to an observatory on the shores Of
the Black sea. 1t weighs about nine
tons, and the inside length of the tube
is As feet. Heavy as the telescope is,
it is so admirably fitted that 1t can
he moved by electrical means as easily
as If It were small portable ap-
paratus. The push-button system Of
control has been adopted. so that all
the operator has to do to direct
the telescope to any part Of the
heavens is to press certain buttons. A
second telescope almost as large as
this, is being made at the same Brit.
ish factory for another observatory In
Russia. So delicate is the work on
these giant instruments that about
three years are occupied in designing
end constructing them.

APPLE RUST ERADICATED
BY KILLING RED CLOVER
Wealthy and Crab Apples Particularly
ceptjbIe to Funuus Disease.

Wealthy and Crab Apples Particularly
Susceptible to Fungus Disease.
Several letters Of inquiry have been
received by fruit disease specialists
at University Farm regarding the ap.
pie rust which is doing some damage
to trees in southern Minnesota. Many
of the crab apples and also the Veal.
thy Of the large apples commonly
grown in Minnesota are very suscepti
BILE to rust.
This form Of rust lives on red cedar
trees in winter and spreads to apple
trees in the spring and summer. 1t
can be transmitted only between
these trees and never from one apple
tree to another. Small, sticky, honey
colored spots are produced on the up.
per surface Of the apple leaves. Later,
orange-coloref spots sometimes sur.
rounded by red margin are produced
on the lower surface. The spots on
the under surface are the cluster cups
of the rust. II they are examined
carefully, many little cup-like struc.
lures with a fringed border will be
noticed. This stage OF the disease
usually appears late in June or early
in July. The trees become partially
defoliated and the fruit is usually
dwarfed and misshaped. II the trees
are badly infected they have rusty
appearance. -

FEEDER MUST USE CARE
IN BUYING HIS CATTLE
Bad Judgment In the Beginning May
Spoil Years Operations.

A. A. Dowell, livestock specialist
with the agricultural extension ser
vice Of the university, advises the cat.
tie feeder beginner to buy handy
weight yearlings showing fair quality.
The low original weight and freedom
from competition of choice feeders will
insure their purchase at a reasonable
figure, he says. This will eliminate
much of the risk of handling heavy
cattle.
To make a given gain in weight
calves require only about rs per cent
and yearlings IS per cent as much
grain as do two-year-old steers. This
means that 70 bushels of grain fed to
calves or IS bushels fed to yearlings
will produce as much gain in weight
as 100 bushels fed to two-year-olds.
The feed cost per pound gain is con-
sequently less in the case Of younger
cattle.
ut might be inferred from this that
every feeder should handle only calves
or yearlings," says Mr.. Dowell. "This
would be true were it not for the fact
that this extra cost Of gains in the
older cattle is often counterbalanced
by the wide margin or spread between
the cost price and selling price per
hundred weight. Because the younger
cattle make gains at less cost and on
the whole more nearly satisfy the de-
mands of the consuming public, it Is
to be expected that the proportion OF
baby beeves and handy weight butch
ers will show a steady increase"
Weight, quality, and condition are
the most important factors in market
ing baby beef, according to Mr.. Dow
ell. at is not so much a question Of
whether one should feed baby beeves,
yearlings, or two-year-olds," he says,
"as it is a question of properly finish
ing the cattle finally selected for the
feed lot"
Cattle must be we'll bought or the
feeder will, at the outset, be doomed
to lose on his venture. All the skill
Of the feeder cannot overcome false
step of this kind made at the begin
ming. The cattle feeder should avoid
wild steers, says Mr.. Dowell. Regard
less of individual type and quality,
wild steers make slow gains, tend to
disturb the rest of the cattle and usu-
ally show a heavy shrinkage at the
time of marketing. Two or three wild
steers in carload have on more than
one occasion been known to change
the results of the years feeding op.
erations from what should have been
a profit to distinct loss.
Mr.. Dowell emphasizes the import
ance of dehorning all horned cattle
before they are put on feed because
they feed better, ship better, and
show fewer bruises at time Of slaugh.
tering than cattle with horns. 1t is
advisable also, he says, to select cattle
that are as uniform as possible in re.
spect to age, type, condition, and quail.
ity. 1t is very important that the
cattle be reasonably near the same
age. Uniformity Of type, is of little
consequence in the feed lot, he says,
but Is a valuable asset at the time Of
marketing.
