BEEF CATTLE HAVE A
REAL PLACE ON FARM

While beef cattle are not large
money makers in direct sense, there
is place for them on Minnesota farms
because of the indirect returns from
them, said Andrew Boss Of the Min
nesota Experiment Station in an adj
dress before visitors at University
Farm on Cattle Feeders Day, May 25.
Professor Boss thought that live
stock men and farmers should take
the long time view and organize for
beef cattle production. "The results
from beef production may be better
expressed by a study of the indirect
income and the increase in returns
said. "On a farm in Redwood coun-
ty, where cattle feeding is a regular
part of the farm business, the return
from the farm business was $3.50
more than it would have been had
the product all been sold in the form
of crops. On an Illinois farm, where
records were kept for seven years,
it was found that the cattle feeding
enterprise increased the farm in
come $508 yearly over what it would
have been had no cattle been fed.
In addition more than $500 were
added to the farm in the value of
the fertilizer returned to the land.
at is these factors that measure
the help that beef cattle are to Min

BrTUMINOUS TREATMENT GOOD
TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE FOR
PAVING STATE TRUNK HIGH
WAYS.

The Minnesota Highway department
Mast week made arrangements to pur-
chase 100000 gallons of road oil
sand tar for use this summer on the
state trunk highways. OF this 1885,,
900 gallons will be used for new treat
ment treatment on 1875 miles of road
sand the balance will be used for re-
1reating the great part of the 229
miles which had been bituminous
1reated in 1926 or former years.
The bituminous treatment will be
applied on roads which cannot be paw
ed, for lack of sufficient funds, but
which carry such heavy traffic that
untreated gravel will not stand up in
either wet or dry weather.
DUNG the LIST three or four dry
years, bituminous treatments have
been beneficial largely in holding the
gravel or other road material togeth-
Ger, on heavily travelled routes, pre-
venting it's blowing away or becom-
ing loose and rutty. During the pres
cent spring, however, when many I'M
treated roads, even heavily graveled
roads, were very poor or impossible,
the oiled and tarred roads generally
remained good or at least fair and
passable The oil or tar had kept the
moisture out of the sub-grade during
the rainy spell last fall and there
was solid foundation after the frost
went out this spring.
Several grades of oil and tar are
being purchased, at various prices;
all, however, being bought upon de-
finite specifications, from the lowest
bidder, and subject to rigid tests in
the departments laboratory. Different
kinds of road surfaces require differ
cent grades of oil
The cost of treating a mile of
highway with oil or tar varies from
$1,250 to $1,750, depending on road
heavy mat" or merely "cover" coat
is applied. Usually the treatment
must be repeated annually, although
quired after the first year. After
three or four years, treatment may be
omitted every other year. Over a
period of years, the treatment, with
the cost of scarifying and other main
tenance, is almost as great as the in
terest, is almost as great as the inter-
est, depreciation and maintenance of
paved road Bituminous treatment,
however, makes very good temper
airy substitute for paving on heavily
travelled roads.
The department also opened bids
May II for about 1900 tons of cal
cium chloride. This material was US
ed successfully during the dry seasons.
1t draws moisture from the air, bind
ing the road material, preventing dust
and reducing maintenance work. The
department will be prepared to treat
400 miles with calcium chloride when
drier weather comes, but this will be
reduced if the frequent rains continue
Calcium chloride treatment costs about
$3.50 per mile.

GOVERNORS VETO UPHELD

Validity of Governor Christianson's
veto of the district judges pay in
crease bill, passed by the recent leg
islature, was upheld in decision
filed by Judge C. M. Stanton of dis
trict court at St. Paul.
By the decision of Judge Stanton,
who presided when the act was heard
in Ramsey county district court in
st. Paul, the allegations of petition
ers, who contended the act became law
when the governor failed to return
the bill with his veto to the senate
within the three-day period provided
by the state constitution, are denied.
A stay of thirty days was ordered
by Judge Stanton so an appeal to the
state supreme court could be per-
