designing flexible roadbeds. Although
the greatly increased weight of roll
ing stock has necessitated heavier
ties, rails and ballast, the present.
day roadbed is much like that of
1910. 1t is expensive to maintain
and less efficient than it might be.
Our new reinforced concrete install
lations are essentially rigid, with the
result that tractive resistance is cut
down and general operating eff
cheney increased"
Road officials claim that main
tenance costs on the first section of
the new roadbed, a quarter mile long
and placed in service three years
ago, have been negligible.
A second section of rigid roadbed,
designed by Mr.. Chipman to embody
a number of improvements suggest
ed by experience with the first sec
tion, has just been completed. Mem
bers of the inspection party were
shown how the units of this new Sec
tion, each 10 feet long, can be cast
and cured under yard control and
placed on the right-of-way by special,
labor-saving equipment.

POTATO STORAGE ESSENTIAL
FOR PROFITABLE MARKETING

Every grower of potatoes on a
commercial scale should provide
storage capacity for at least rs per
cent of his annual crop. Potato spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture point out that 1t
would be a phyical imposslblllty as
we'll as disastrous economically TO
try to market the full crop in the
autumn. Often it happens that the
individual grower may find it profit
able to put all his crop in storage
and wait for a more favorable mar
ket.
Requirements for successful stor-
age of potatoes as summarized by
William Stuart of the Bureau OF
Plant Industry include protection
from extreme temperatures, with a
range from 35 degrees to 40 degrees
F. being the most satisfactory; sur
ficient ventilation to remove foul air
and moisture; and provision for ex-
Guiding light. The tubers should be
drv and reasonably free from dirt.
All diseased, badly cut, or bruised
tubers should be removed from the
crop.
at is not advisable" says Mr..
Stuart, "to store potatoes to a depth
of more than or feet in the bin.
The bin should not be larger than
12 feet square unless it is provided
with a series of venilating shafts for
the escape of moisture and heat. d.
vision walls and floors providing ven
tilation are desirable"
1t is common for growers and
dealers to store potatoes in bins to
a depth of 10 or Is feet. 1t is poor
policy, however, and often accounts
for shrinkage and loss. Deep piles
generate more heat, and decay and
disease are likely to take heavier
toll. Also the weight of the piled
up potatoes is likely to cause crack
ing and bruising of the tubers in the
lower layers.

DAIRY cows ON SHORT
PASTURE NEEDS SUPPLE
MENTARY FEEDDS

Much has been said and written
about supplementary feeding of
dairy COWS when pastures are short.
Further evidence of the necessity of
such feeding has recently been OBJ
tanned by the Bureau of Dairy Indus
try of the United States Department
of Agriculture at it's dairy expert
ment farm at Beltsville, Md. A half
acre plot of pasture grass was
moved at To-day intervals and the
grass weighed. In May, when con-
ditions were most favorable for the
growth of the grass, 420 pounds were
obtained in one To-day period; in
August, during a dry spell, the yield
for a similar period was only II
pounds. 1t is evident, therefore, that
under such short-pasture conditions,
COWS should be fed as heavily as
during the winter.
