thick Some varieties grow in
round form. Different kinds have
different tastes and uses. There
is no other vegetable in the coun-
try which is so extensively used.
Taku-an
A very large portion of daikon
produced in the country is used for
making taku-an or picked daikon..
This pickle is the most popular of
all kinds of pickles eaten by the
people. Many of the old fashion,
ed or rural folks say that if they
have good taku-an, they do not
need anything else to eat with
their rice.
Taku-an is made by picking dali
kon in bran and salt, in wooden
tubs, and placing heavy stones as
weights on top. Taku-an has
peculiar smell that may be I'M
bearable to those who have not yet
acquired a taste for it.
Daikon is cooked in shoyu, and
sometimes with meat or fish. Fine
ly cut daikon us used in maAlng
miso-shiru or soy bean paste soup.
Daikon is also eaten raw. Daiko-
oroshi or grated radish is a favor
lite of the people. 1t is eaten with
sashimi (sliced raw fish or some
times taken with shoyu, vinegar
or both. Daiko-oroshi is believed
to be good for stimulating diges-
ton as it contains much diastase.
1t is used by many people in rural
districts as a medicine to cure colds.
Daiko-oroshi is put in a cup of
steaming hot water and when this
is drunk it will cure a cold, it is
believed.
Kirib0shi
Then again, daikon is cut into
long slices or long strings, and
then dried and preserved. These
are called kiriboshi (cut and dried.
Thus prepared, 1t can be preserved
long, and when fresh vegetables
are scarce, it is used. 1t is cooked
into the same way as fresh vege-
tables or eaten as it is by putting
it into mixture of shoyu and vi
negar. Kiriboshi tastes quite diff
ferent from fresh daikon.
In the cold regions of north
eastern Japan, daikon soup plays
very important role in the win
ter months. In large Kettle
hanging over the irori or hearth,
daikon leaves and root together,
cut into proper sizes, is boiled.
The steaming hot daikon and the
soup warm up the people in the
long winter season as it is eaten
with their breakfast.

Need Exper. Stotion

Northwestern Montana is the only
geographical section of the State

cultural experiment station to carry

east of the continental Divide has
the station at Bozeman, the central
portion of the State east of the
mountains has a station at Moe
casin, northern Montana has a sta
ton at Havre, Southern Montana
has a station at Huntley, near Bill
lings, and Eastern Montana has a
station at Miles City. Each of these
stations is carrying on agricultural
on certain phases of agri-
culture that are peculiar to the area
in which they are working. This
research has paid high dividends.

Highway Laws
CeLurnber
Production

A matter has come up within the
past week Or 10 days that may
curtail materially the usual winter
operations of the J. Neils Lumber
company .Sawmill at Libby, accord
ing to lumber company officials.
What may cause this unfortunate
result, with its bad effect on. the
labor and business situation, is the
enforcement of regulations by the
state highway department relative
to maximum weights of loads per-
mitted to be hauled over highway
No. 2. A highway crew was in
the city recently checking on loads
of logs being hauled by the local
lumber company trucks and found
them to be over the permissible
weights, as established by Montana
law The usual fines were imposed
against the lumber company.
Means a Showdown
The load that we will be per-
mitted to haul is about so per cent
of what we have been hauling and
what should be hauled if we are
to operate economically, said Geo.
Neils, logging superintendent of the
Neils company. ITO force US to the
smaller loads will raise the logging
costs unduly high" continued Mr..
Neils. I'VE will still have to maintain
the same number of men in the
woods and operate the same number
of trucks. at much reduced pro-
duction.
But that isn't all of the diff
ficulty," said Mr. Neils. Held to
this reduced production, we shall
be unable to get in any surplus
logs to keep the sawmill in opera
ton during the woods shutdown
caused by the spring breakup. That
will mean a shutdown of the saw
mill of from four to six weeks"
Claims Loads Not Damaging
No one could object to holding
loads down so as not to unduly
wear the highways But in this
connection a peculiar situation has
developed. The lumber company in
sists and highway officials admit j.
that the heavy loads hauled by
the lumber company on its large
tandem wheel trucks with their
larger tires, are not as destructive
to the highways as much lighter
loads hauled by lighter trucks
Some might reasonably doubt that
statement but it has been proven
10 be true.
The highway department at one
time built a testing device into a !
that would register on a
graph the impact impaired to the
-oadbed by different types of trucks
and weights of loads% It was there
