Fewer Strikes I'm
San Francisco

San Francisco points W tn
pride" to its record in getting rid
Of strikes. In 1921 under ,.osel
shop conditions there were %
strikes in the city, enteiling a loss
to the public of $22,5OO,0O0. In 1922
the first year after the inauguration
Of the American or open shop plan,
the number Of strikes was cut in
half, and the loss was reduced TO
less than quarter of that Of the
preceding year, or to $5,975,000. In
1923 the number Of strikes again
was cut in half and the losses were
reduced in the same ratic-fiye
strikes and $2,49O,OOO. And for
1924 up to the present date there
have been just four email strikes
and the loss totals the relatively
negligible sum Of $4,000.

Limestone Dust Road Is
Under Test in Missouri

A road a mile long made of lime
stone dust in Clay county, Missouri, is
new departure in roadmaking and is
being watched with more than usual
interest. The state did not build
road through Nashua, seven miles
northwest of, Liberty, but turned west
just before reaching Nashua, In going
north However, the state and Clay
county have made a road through the
town of limestone screenings which is
put down to a thickness of six inches
and made smooth and solid at the
time it is placed on the road. Twenty
two carloads of screenings from Nebo
Hill quarry. south of Liberty, were
shipped to Nashua and the Clay coun-
ty engineer, with his road crew lev
eIed and packed the screenings so the
road is hard now. The test of mate
rial is being watched carefully as the
cost is lower and the road seems
durable. The expense was II cents
per square yard, while other material,
according to the county engineer, costs
around $3.50 per square yard. Heavy
trucks are being driven over this road
every day and. although purelys an ex-
pertinent. it is holding up in good

Potash Useful to Cure
Various Corn Diseases

The relation of potash to corn dis
eases is to be studied in an extensive
investigation now being started at
Purdue university. This work will
be done in cooperation with large
potash importing corporation, and the
work at that station will be regarded
by them as official for the entire
United States.
Corn plants frequently are affected
by the accumulation of iron and
aluminium compounds which make
them more susceptible to disease and
reduces their power to produce ears.
Tt has been found in some instances,
however, that where an abundance
of potash is available, no such diff
ficulty is encountered. 1t is believed
that the entire corn belt may be af-
fected by this excessive amount Of
iron, and this belief is the basis of
the potash investigation

Provide Nest Boxes in
All Convenient Places

Many farmers and other persons
who keep poultry fail to provide nests
for their hens. and then wonder why
they seek their nests about and under
the farm buildings in fence corners.
under brush-heaps. and various out
of-the-way places. If clean boxes,
provided with straw or other nest
ing material. had been put up at con-
venient points, the hens would have
used them and would not "steal"
their nests. A very good size for
nest-box is little more than one foot
square and nine or ten inches in
depth. They should be well made;
and if planned and painted, all the
better. Apply Kerosene freely to the
inside, where the boards are nailed
together
Nest boxes should never be per-
manently attached to buildings. but
placed upon floor, or hung upon the
side of hennery or other convenient
place for both fowls and attendant.

Rubber Roads Are Good

That rubber roads are entirely prac-

follows: "A rubber pavement laid in

newed for the first time less than two
years ago. An experimental rubber
roadway laid in center of heavy
traffic at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was
found to have worn down only one
eighth of an inch in II years. Boston
is developing it for bridge surfacing.

Test Poultry Ideas
to Determine Worth
Experiments Made Leading
to Conclusive Results.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)
To determine the soundness of va
rious ideas held by commercial poul-
trymen, the United States Department
of Agriculture has conducted expert
ments leading to rather conclusive re-
suits. From a practical standpoint 1t
is highly desirable for poultrymen to
improve, if possible, the hatchability
of eggs, to distinguish pullets from
ROSTERS at an early age, and to obtain
other similar information COMMERCIAL
ly important but battling. There has
been considerable divergence of opin-
ion on most of the questions.
Hatchability, says the department,
probably is best improved by testing
breeding birds for bacillary, white
diarrhea, and eliminating affected
birds.
The size of eggs has no significant
effect on their hatchability.
There is no significant correlation
between either shape or weight of egg
and the sex of the chicken Matched
from it. Therefore, from a practical
standpoint, poultrymen cannot expect
to influence the sex of chicks Matched
by selecting eggs according to either
shape or size.
While there is a fairly definite rela-
ton between the weight of eggs and
that of the chicks Matched from them,
there is no significant difference in
weight of either sex, and it is highly
improbable that pure-bred chicks can
be separated according to sex at
Matching time
Male chicks grow faster than the fe-
males, and as early as two weeks of
age there is significant difference
in the rate of growth between the
sexes.
The addition of skim milk to a ration
induces much faster growth, the differ
ence being observable as early as at
the end of the second week. This
points to the value of skim milk In
Srowing-chick rations.

Effect of Highways on
Cost of Driving Motors

When you drive a motor vehicle
down the roadway it may be costing
you all the way from seven cents to
seventy cents mile depending on the
size, load, make and condition of the
machine. the kind of tire used and
the road over which you drive. Data
on the actual cost of motor trans
portation is given fully in bulletin
of the Iowa engineering experiment
station as worked out by 7. r. Agg,
highway engineer.
The most valuable results con-
tanned in the bulletin are those for
motor trucks, since wide variety of
these were available and accurate cost
records were kept. Several passen-
ger cars were also studied. A COM
posite car cost exactly $40 cents per
mile to operate over all kinds of Iowa
roads. One hundred and twenty
seven five-ton trucks belonging to the
Iowa highway commission cost GAP
cents per mile
Professor Agg says that there is a
growing tendency to place the cost of
highway construction upon the mo-
torist, and this will make a consider
able increase in actual transportation
costs. This is largely offset, how
ever, by the fact that it costs great
deal more to drive over dirt road,
poorly surfaced and graded, than it
does over smooth paved highway.
There is from one to three cents a
mile difference between dirt roads and
good pavement for ordinary passenger
cars

AUTOS ONLY TO USE
THIS 160-FOOT ROAD

Plans are being made for a road to
be built from Chicago to Milwaukee
which will exclude all crossings, pc
destrians and rail cars.
The road will be wide enough to ac-
commodate 16 cars abreast. 1t will
be possible to make the entire trip in
70 minutes over this highway.
1--WE won't have any speed cops"
says ST. Mayer, secretary of the Chi
cago police department and president
of the Illinois Safety council, who has
planned this superhighway.
The new drive will have six sepa-
rate lanes for cars. The inside lanes
will be for high-power autos which go
from go to 80 miles an hour
The second lane will be for cars go
ing from 30 to 60 miles an hour. and
the outside lanes are for cars go
ing from IA to 30 miles an hour.
This road is to be built 1900 feet out
from the present shore line on refilled
land. 1t will be $50 feet wide, 80
miles long, and - feet above the lake
level
The crossroads do not cross the
main track They tunnel through and
go under the main drive, having ramps
leading up to the main road.
At each tunnel there will be faeili-
ties for pedestrians to reach the lake
beaches beyond the roadway. But there
will be no space on the elevated road
above for pedestrians.
1t Is estimated that this new road
way will cost $4,000 mile, but the
saving in time and life is expected to
make up for the huge construction cost.
Mayer will put his proposed road
plan before the mayors and city and
county officials of Wilmette, Winnetka,
Evanston Highland Park, Lake For
est, Lake Bluff, Waukegan. all in Illi-
nois. and Kenosha, Racine and Mil
waukee. all in Wisconsin.
IT'S bound to come" says Mayer,
@for we have proven it to be life
and money-saver. in Chicago with the
Waeker drive"
