Highway Safety Device
Warns of Curve Danger

When Douglas l.. Stemple, Green
ough, Mont, was snowbound in a
mountain cabin for three weeks, he
had lot Of time to think about a
near-accident he had on highway
curve.
AS result, the nations highways
may be made safer by means of a
signal system to warn motorists OF
approaching cars on blind curves
which he invented during his en-
forced idleness.
The device, which works much like
a railroad block signal, is receiving
experimental tests by the Montana
highway department on Mcdonald
pass, west Of Helena.
D. A. McKinnon, Montana state
highway engineer. has described
Stemple's invention as IAN impor-
tant contribution to highway safety"
The signal system works like this:
A thin rubber hose is placed across
the highway well back from the blind
curve. When an automobile passes
over it, red warning signal flashes
at the other end of the curve, warm
ing other motorists that another ma.
chine is approaching.
1t is estimated the devices would
cost about 500 each. Highway Of
ficials said they also could be used
on hills.

clared. Sometimes high debt Is
incurred to provide facilities which,
1t is hoped, will attract larger pop
ulation with lower per capita debt
burden resulting in the future. The
age. the topography, the tradition Of
essential services and many other
factors have so much effect that
comparisons between cities are not
only invidious. but dangerous"
Miss Mohaupt listed three reasons
for the decline of municipal debt
generally. They were: Decline in
the rate of growth Of large cities
with consequent reduced need for
large capital improvements, federal
public works programs. and the re-
cent stress on economy budgets in
which expensive capital costs are
postponed in favor of more press

Why should 1 buy q purebred
ram? find that lambs sired by
common bucks get fat enough to
top the market It seems to me
that's all any lamb can do.
1t is true that getting fat enough
to top the market is the goal for all
market lambs, but you lose sight of
the most important fact that lambs
sired by good purebred rams have
the ability to mature faster. make
better use of feed and therefore
make cheaper gains, such lambs
have the compactness and blocki-
ness needed for finished carcass
with minimum of waste. They APP
peal more to the packer and fire.
quently are given the extreme top
price in preference to the rangy
long shanked kinds, even though
these may be fat. Then there is the
value of good fleece which can be
secured only by selection of good
rams. Most sheep men keep back
some eve lambs each year for re-
placement, and it is important that
they keep in mind the production
of good wool crop as well as a
good lamb crop. In each case the
purebred ram is the answer. w. E.

Iwant to hog off about five acres
of corn, but it will require some
fencing. Can I get by with electric
fence?
Yes, electric fence has been used
successfully in enclosing hogs in
hogging off cornfields. It is great
labor-saver, and most pigs will re-
spect the electrified wire, especially
if given a little training in a small
yard first. In erecting such fence in
cornfield, it well to cut out a
row where the wire is to be stretch
ed in order to avoid trouble with
short circuits. Follow carefully the
manufacturer instructions. II. G.

Is it too late to apply sodium
Chlorate for the control of weeds?
If you can apply sodium chlorate
before a hard freeze, the fall
months are the most desirable
time for treatment. In the control
of field bindweed Creeping jenny
the best results have been secured
from late applications. Fall appli-
cations are far superior to spring
and early summer treatment. It Is
suggested that the chlorate be ap-
piled dry at rate of 3 to pounds
per square rod. It is not advisable
to use chlorate on areas larger
than one or two acres.-H. K. Will

Must evergreens ne planted In
the spring or can they be planted

It Is possible to plant evergreens
either in the fall or in the spring,
but in this climate we have been
much more successful with spring
paintings. Unless the fall planting
is done early enough to allow
growth of roots, the young plants
are likely to suffer from loss of
water through Transportation. Fall
planted stock is also subject to
frost heaving, especially on clay
soils when there Is insufficient
