Highway ''Stop" Law Will
Be Enforced by the State

of motorists on the arterial high
way and those entering or cross
ing such roads. Persons travelling
on such roads proprly assume that
other traffic will stop. If driver
enters without stopping, occu-
pants of both cars are likely to be
seriously injured. The courts have
held that a driver entering an
arterial road without stopping
cannot recover damages. The
driver on the arterial road, how
ever, is entitled. to recover provid-
ed he has otherwise observed the
traffic rules. Drivers on an arterial
road have no special privileges,
but must observe the same rules
as to reasonable speed caution at
turns and intersections, etc. as
drivers on any other road.
More than 1900 miles of trunk
highways, including nearly all the
paved routes and some of the more
heavily travelled among the I'M
paved routes, have been designat-
ed by the Hihgway department as
arterial highways, and STOP"
signs posted on all roads entering
such roads. A number Of city
streets which are parts of trunk
highway routes have also been
made arterial highways by NUM-
cipal ordinance.
Every STOP" sign requires a
full stop, Mr.. Brown emphasized.
Merely slowing down does not full
fill the requirements Of the law.
There will be no short lived
drives" on motorists who fail to
obey the stop" law. Highway pa
trolmen in their trips over the
trunk highways in all parts Of the
state, will be on the lookout for
drivers who fail to stop. The only
difference will be that instead Of a
mere warning, they will be given a
ticket which requires visit to
the judge.

Sharp Lugs Damage the
Oil and Tar Highways
Tractor Owners Asked to Cooper
ate to Protect BituminOus
Gravel Routes

A warning against driving thresh-
ing engines, tractors, or other
machines with sharp Jugs or cleats
over oiled or tarred highways, was
issued this week by the Minnesota
Highway department. The warning
followed a number Of reports of
damage by machines on bituminous
treated roads.
Tractor owners living near any
bituminous road are urged to get a
set of bands or fiat rims for the
tractor wheels. These bands cost
from SIS to $50. They will prevent
damage to the road surface, save
wear and tear on the tractor itself,
and facilitate movement on the
highways.
Those who do not have the bands
should use other roads, even If
this involves a somewhat longer
distance. If no road other than a
bituminous road can be found, the
Highway Departments district
maintenance superintendent should
be consulted, if it is a trunk high
way, or the county engineer, if it
is a state aid or county road. If
conditions are such that the trip
can be made without damage to the
road, permit will be given. Those
who move any machine without
such a permit, and do any damage
to the road surface, lay themselves
open to arrest, fine, and a possible
suit for damages.
With nearly 1000 miles of "black
top" roads in the trunk highway
system, and rapidly increasing
use of this type of surface on state
aid and county roads, protection of
these roads is becoming serious
problem. Great progress has been
made in the last ten years in
building bituminous roads, and
where sub-soil and traffic condi-
tons are suitable, a high type of
road can be built at moderate first
cost. One of the drawbacks is the
damage often done by tractors or
excessive loads. If tractor and
other vehicle owners will cooperate
and prevent this damage, it may be
possible to extend this type of dust
less, waterproof surfacing on thous-
ands of miles of medium and light
traffic roads in a few years.
The law specifically prohibits the
use on any highway of any vehicle
with tire having any block, stud,
flange, cleat or spike, or any pro-
tuberance of any material except
rubber. Exceptions are made for
farm machinery with protuber-
ances (which will not materially in
jure the highway" and traction en-
gines with fiat diagonal cleats, "
but a Highway bulletin emphasizes
that action may be taken against
the owner Of any vehicle or machine
doing material damage to the high
way, if notices have been posted
under the law which directs the
highway commissioner, on trunk
highways, or county road officials,
on county roads, to restrict traffic
when necessary to protect the road
surface. . q
The Minnesota Brotherhood Of
Threshermen has discussed the BIZ
luminous road problem at several
meetings, and is cooperating in pro-
tecting these roads. Not all own
ers Of threshing engines, however,
are members of the brotherhood or
attend the meetings. &..

ing driving errors. Efficient control
requires careful selection and thor
ough training Of the men. It also
requires the right perspective.
Nothing is gained by trying to make
record for large number Of ar
rests, by arrests from ambush, or
by arresting or annoying drivers
who commit technical but compar-
atively harmless violations of the
traffic act. But a traffic patrol can
be a real help if it will get the con-
fidence of the motoring public. To
do this the men must make 1t clear
that in calling attention to driving
errors, they have in mind the safety
of the driver just as much as others
on the road.

and who forget to keep their mind
on their driving. But many others
are caused by persons who, al
though of normal intellect, do not
have any weighty problems on their
mind. In many cases they do not
realize the inherent danger in a
modern motor vehicle. Perhaps
they are hypnotizezd by the
smoothness and power Of their
car. Whatever it is, thoughtless-
ness sooner or later leads to ser
ious consequences.
What is the remedy? A carefully
trained highway patrol on the rural
highways, with similarly trained
traffic officers in the municipalities,
can go a long way toward correct

Sterile Grain Heads Due to
Stem MaggOtS

/ White heads in wheat and barley,
which showed up thickly in some
parts of the state this year, are
due to insects known as wheat
steam maggots, explains A. G.
Ruggles, state entomologist and
professor of entomology at Univer-
sity Farm. The adult of the wheat
stem maggot is two-winged fly.
If the plants showing the blight
ed heads are examined, the injury
will be found just above the joint
For this reason the damage is
sometimes incorrectly attributed to
the cereal joint worm.
Using up all straw, so that none
is carried over from year to year,
and the burning and cleaning up of
fence rows and other spots where
the maggots may live through the
winter, are the control measures
recommended.

On Sunday afternoon the winners
of the first two games will meet
for the final playoff to decide the
championship of Western Stearns
County. This game will be played

The changes in dates Of playing
were made at the request of the
Robert Swift Legion Post, of Sank
Centre, by mutual agreement Of
both the Melrose and E"eeport
management. This was done to
allow the Legion Drum Corps of
Brooten to participate in the parade

impossible to have the Brooten team
here one day and the drum corp
the next. The Legion members and
Fair Officials are very grateful TO
the personnel of both teams for
the splendid cooperation shown.
The band contest for cash prizes
will find the Boys, the Girls Band,

competition. The judge will be the
supervisor and director of music
at the State Teachers College,

ade there will be at least four

Maryland Drought Loss.

A loss of $4O,OO0.OO0 attributable to
the drought, was caused in Maryland dur
Ing the past year. it was said at the final
session Of the Maryland Agricultural So
ciety-Farm Bureau Federation Convention
held in Baltimore last week.
The speaker was DIR. Thomas B. Symons,
director Of the University of Maryland Elk
tension Service and secretary of the State
Drought Relief Committee.
To recover from the loss in the quickest
possible way aud also to insure an even
production of Agricultural commodities ia
the State. DIR. Symons. advocated the
adoption OF five year plan.
The plan as suggested by the secretary
of the Drought Committee, would involve
a great reduction in the acreage now en-
ployed in the cultivation of wheat, prod
uct which the Maryland farmer cannot
hope to grow in successful competition with
the Middle West and Russia.
"Since the war" he said. there has been
a reduction of 100000 acres Of Maryland
wheat. Within the next five years there
should be a further reduction Of 10000
acres. which area might be profitably cult
waited with barley. oats. pastures and such
Iesumes as alfalfa, clover and soybeans."
THE need Of more pasture lands is OBJ
vious," he added. when it is considered
that Maryland dairymen now spend more
than 100000 outside Of the State fol
