EXPERIENCED DRIVERS CAUSE
MOST ACCIDENTS

According to Edward J. o..
Meara, Highway Commissioner
of Wisconsin, the rate of increase
of automobile accidents is greater
among experienced drivers than
among those of two or less years
driving experience.
This does not mean that we
should not attempt to make sure
new drivers are competent before
licensing them to operate cars.
but it does indicate that careless
ness is the principal cause Of the
mounting toll of automobile
deaths and injuries. The So
called good" drivers are those
who do the excessive speeding
on stretches of narrow, twisting
road, who pass on corners. weave
in and out of traficS and do the
rest of the things that result iu
crashes.
Rigid enforcement of driving
codes alone cannot overcome this
because the patrolman is limited
to the very small piece of road
on which be can be at any given
time. A sense of responsibility,
of duty, must in some way be-
Einstilled ia those who use the
highways, to materially improve
the accident record.
General safety education in
schools is now producing tangi-
BILE results in the form of fewer
deaths to children of school age,
ann the knowledge implanted in
mallable minds now, will be re-
tanned by the adult. Education,
vividly and unremittingly pur-
sued, is the greatest factor in
fighting the accident menace.

10, people would require the
type Of labor which aoy man
could do. Individuals and firms,
| believe. would respond to an
appeal for funds for such a pro
ject. Of real public benefit, much
more generously than they would
to the support of bread-lines,
over and above their accepted
charity budgets. All types Of
people who needed help could
apply for it without prejudice on
such 2 project.
Ia the case of Tucson it might
be that citizens would consider
the building of a road up Mount
Lennon or a similar desirable
recreational project. Tnis would
make available as much or as
little work as might be necessary
to take up unemployment funds,
and all the money given for re
lief of labor would be used in
developing a permanent asset to
the community. Prescott last
winter did an outstanding piece
Of work in carrying out this ty pc
of plan.
Projects of this type would not
only provide great deal Of EN-
ployment and to that extent
reduce the strain on charity
funds. but would make possible
the building of worth while CON
munity improvements at an abso
lutte minimum cost. Thus all
citizens would benefit indirectly
with the unemployed.
While every effort should be
made; to discourage transients
and unemployed from other parts
of the country from coming to
Arizona this winter, I am con
vinced that proper organic alton
of plans of this type would solve
the unemployment problem oi
our own people in many com
munities. Every local organiza
ton could render a great service
by taking up the earnest study
of such possibilities at once.

DAIRY NOTES

Whole milk will be delivered daily
or twice day while cream will likely
be delivered just two or three times
a week Every 4S hours is better un-
less conditions for holding are very
good.
Continuous testing for production
in dairy herds provides the only means
of intelligently wedding out poor cows
and improving the milking ability Of
the herd. This is especially important
when prices are low.
By culling and breeding stock, dairy
men of California increased butterfat
production from 1856 to 265 pounds q
year.
Only comfortable cows can do JUS
tice to themselves at the milk pail.
AS far as possible flies must be cen.
trOlled.
1t has been found that cows that
have the individual water CUPS in
their stalls produce more milk than
those that just get their water morn
ing and evening.
A good pure-bred sire is an effective
means of improving a dairy herd in
both type and production, say Penn
State dairy specialists.
Warm cream must never be poured
into cooled cream and when fresh
batch is poured into an Older lot, it
should be mixed we'll by stirring.
Consumption of manufactured dairy
products within the United States ex
ceeded domestic factory production ny
an amount equivalent to approximate
ly 67OOOO.000 pounds milk In 1890.

DAIRY
FACTS
CATTLE LICE TAKE
HEAVY DAIRY TOLL
Eradicate the Pest Before
Heavy Infestation.

Cattle lice, which run up a heavy
toll in the form of reduced milk yields
and slackened gains, are likely to be
more troublesome this winter than u.s.
ual, according to a report to the Uni
versity of Illinois by an assistant
entOmolOgist of the Illinois state nat
ural history survey. There has been
gradual increase in louise population
on dairy animals and other stock In
the past two years. owing largely to
lack of proper control measures.
Fortunately, the lice are not hard to
eradicate until heavy infestation is
allowed to develop.
From the standpoint of cheapness,
availability and effectiveness the best
treatment is raw linseed oil. Boiled or
refined linseed oil is likely to injure
the skin and should not be used. The
oil may be applied with a handbrush
or in the case of ShOrt-haired animals,
with wad of cloth. brush having
uneven bristles is best adapted to
this work. A second treatment should
be given two weeks following the first
and then monthly applications should
be made until spring. The oil should
not be applied too vigorously but
enough should be put on to reach the
skin. 1t is good plan to keep treated
animals out of the sun for day.

Time and Work Saved by
Use of Milking Machine

The man labor used in caring for
dairy cows in Nevada varies all the
way from 81 hours to $50 hours
year for each COW, as indicated by "A
detailed farm records secured by the
experiment station of that state. The
average chOre time for herds which
were machine MIXED was 106 hours
as against 141 hours for all herds of
10 or more cows, MIXED by hand. The
average time required in all hand
MIXED herds-which on the whole had
fewer cows than the machine-milked
herds-was 151 hours. which showed
that where labor-saving equipment was
not available labor costs were higher.
For 25-cow herd, a milking machine
will make a net saving in labor of
$500 each year according to this ex-
pertinent station. This calculation
assumes that labor is valued at 40
cents an hour and allows an expense
of $50 annually for the machine.

Fall Calying

Fall calying is here. 1t brings GER
tain problems that need unrelentng
attention. The act of bearing young
requires great sacrifices on the part of
mothers 1t brings about rapid and
extreme changes in the physical body
of the mother. Instinctively the moth
er is willing to make extreme sacri-
flee for her young. She is not always
physically fit or capable of doing so.
Heifers calving for the first time
should be watched carefully as they
approach calving. Breeding dates are
essential. Most heifers will bring
their calves along without help. What
they need is clean, sanitary surround
ings, the right feeding before and after
calving, and some attention to their
udders. Heifers that need help in
calving should not be denied the adj
vantage of the help of one who under
stands what to do and how best to
do it.

Warm the Drinking Water

Water which has had the chill re-
moved from it will be consumed more
readily by dairy cows in Writer and
will cause heavier milk production, ac-
cording to G. A. Smith, Colorado State
college.

81 pounds water In order to produce
the maximum quantity of milk a cow
must consume large amounts Of wa

 Why are we the only town in Alaska which does not have suit able literature on the Outside and turnout the Territory?" was the question asked by the Chamber of its committee.
 Answering that amazingly de linquent question, the committee started active work and soon ap- peared before the chamber with a plan for producing one of the best encyclopedias of this northern re zion. to be published. in the last 20 years. Details and plans were then laid to finance the publication of a book, with the idea that each year another form on the same order of advertising this section. would be issued.
 It is the committees plan to have printed 10000 copies of 50 or 60-page book with illustrations, information, appeals, and general facts included, which would repre- sent the resources, potentialities, and great importance of Nome and the northwestern part of Alaska.
 Active work has been started and is progressing more rapidly as the weeks go by.
 As an appeal to the civic pride of Nome the committee is asking all who care to assist in any way, to give their best efforts toward making this modern day plan of home advertising huge success.
