MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31 , 1921 § o HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT EMPLOYS LARGE CREW St. Paul, Oct. 31.—The Minnesota highway dopmtmmh is employing an army of between 2,500 and 3,000 men muu('mu those on part time, and is using from $250,000 to ${00 000 a month for m: intenance on the state trunk route system, Charles M. Bab- cock, state !np:hway commissioner, has announced. The dcpnrtment is- sued a bulletin on a typical 20-day maintenance statement whicn, it ‘was asserted, shows fairly equ.xl amounts | of work and expenditures in the six- teen districts, relative needs, com- parative mileages, new construction and oth onditions considered. Commissioner Babcock announced last spri upon inauguration of the new highway development plan, tuat maintenance work by patrolmen and special forces would be depended to spread general benefits over the en- tire 7,000-mile system during the first year. The bulletin, based on of- ficial records, is intended to show how the policy is being carried out. RED CROSS PROGRAM EXPANDS THROUGHOUT STATE Chicago, Oct. 31.—Reports from the American Red Cross chapters in Minnesota for the past year, show .. marked i,crease over preceding years in the total of community undertak- ings which have been devcloped Tke n disaster relief, nursing and health instruction is an important part of the peace time program of thu or ganization. ‘hat $11,288 was contributed by residents of the state through the Red Cross for relief work in connec- tion with the Pueblo flood-during: the past few months shows the recogni- tion given this organization as a na- tional ‘relief agency, for emergency. During the year there were 43 dis- asters in the United States resulting in the death of 850 persons and the injury of 2,500. These emergencies called for an expenditure of $1,871.- 000 in the fiscal year ending June 30. NOT ENOUGH WOOD TO COFFIN CITIZENS Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 31.—“Buy your, ‘coffin early,” w:]l be a business slogan in New York state before long, if the forests are not preserved. New York state is running shy on coffin material, 'and the State College of Forestry hns discovered. - Only a seventh of the population of the state could be provided coffins from state forests, the college authorities stated. . The college calls attention to the great destruction of forest lands and points out that wanton destruction of the forests have so depleted the sup» ply that the only reason one doesn’t have to wait seven years for a coffin is that nine-tenths of the lumber used for caskets and. rough boxes is im- ported from outside the state’s bor- der. More tree planting, better for-¢ est protection and closer utilization of woed production is urged by the. college to save the state from the wild orgy of waste that has been in prog- ress for the past century and which has now' reached serious proportions. —— e MANY TRYING TO ENTER RUSSIA’S BACK DOOR By Clarence Dubose At Sea in the Pacific. (By mail) . — Non-Bolshevist Russians, in search of lost relatives in thein chaotic home country, seem to be turning to the long trans-Pacific treck, and attempt- ing to reach European Russia through Siberia. Also, apparently, some who are | Bolshevists but pretend not to be, are followmg Lhe sanie rouce. “It is hard to draw the lines, ex- plained John Metovitch, a passenger on this ship from San Francisco, who lhopes to _get across Siberia fmm Vladivostok, and learn,” at Moscow, the fate or whercabouts of relatives from whom he has not heard for four years. “Maybe some of us are Bolshevists. Maybe some are not. I don’t try to learn too much about the other man’s affairs. But I do know I shall get out of Russia in what you say snappy style as soon as I can find my folks— if I ever get to find them.” {EAR WORM OF CORN - WORKING WAY NORTH The ear worm of corn had a season to its liking last year and, in conse- quence, worked its way further north than ever before. “The long contin- ued dry hot weather,” says A. G. Rug- gles, state entomologist, “was favor- able to the propagation of pest, with the result that it entercd dis tricts where it has not been trouble- | some before. I'am imformed that an unusual high percentage of corn was_damaged by this worm in cer- tain: localities. “Fall plowing is one of the best methods to combat the ear worm. The pupae, which generally is found from three to five inches beneath the surface of the sqil, will thus be thrown up and exposed to the birds and win- ter weather. Rough treatment of this sort will dispose of myriads of the pest. “A practical way to protect a small pateh of corn is to use lead arsenate as a dust. Silks of the corn should be kept well dusted with powdered lead arsenate in about six parts of flour.” NONE TOO' EARLY TO PLAN FOR ICE CUT It is noone too early to make plans for harvesting and storing the com- ing crop of ice. The farm ice supply can often be gathered and stored at light expense. Those who have the time and means to build a house with insulated walls should write the Office of Publications. University Farm, St. Paul, for blueprint No. 171, price 10 cents, showing plans for a 16-ton capacity icehouse. Montreal, ' Quebec.—Hundreds - of cars loaded with grain are arriving daily for re-shipment for Europe, and the floating elevators now in opera- tion work fifteen hours a day, and handle about 7,000 bushels of grain an hour, or 420,000 bushels per day. fee ...

Identification and spread of the disease, symptoms, and methods of control are subjects which ought to be mastered by poultry keepers. There is no cure for tuberculosis, nnd]i' a_few tubercular fowls may eventu- ally inoculate entive flocks. Dr. W.| A. Billings of the di n of veterin- ary medicine, Uni y of Minne sota, gives the following explanation of how the discase spreads: “The germ can only be seen under the microscope. Since the liver,| spleen and intestines are the organs commonly affected and as the organs empty into the intestines, the drop- pings which pass from the birds con- tain millions of these minute germ In this way, the soil and floor bf the chicken house become laden with in fection and the disea: ed up by healthy bir ally believed that poultry do nct be come infected from cattle or ho; dead or tubercul should be burn- ed, for the carcasses may be a sourc of infection to the others. - It ma b\ also that certain of our wild bi ry infection from flock to floc: LAMB CROP EASY TO , GROW IN MINNESOTAW Minnesota is ideally cequipped fo sheep production, says Philip A. An- derson of the division of animal in- dustry, University of Minnesota “Small flocks well husbanded,” he| says, “are more successful than large flocks poorly cared for. Twenty-five to 50 ewes can be cared for nicely on most farms north of the Twin Cities. The farms where sheep are kept are more free from noxious weeds. “The labor necessary to care for a small flock is negligible during mos of the year, the lambing season gen- erally coming when the farm: work i: not so pressing. I'encing has been one of the drawbacks, the cost being the first consideration, but a very good fence'may be constructed of three woven wires on top. The hous: three barbed wires cn top. The hous: ing necessary for protection need not be expesive. Single board walls wit! a good roof is all that is needed, as sheep need not be protected from the | cold, but from the snow, rain and! wind. “Lambs can be produced cheapl. under prevailing feed prices, an should be an attractive enterprise.” WALKED 5,710 MILES WHILE LUGGING WATER In carrying water- i —ifrom the weli to her home, a farm wife in Ohio trudged 5,710 miles in 50 years, say rural engineers of the Ohio state university. For a full half century this farm wife had been making an average of six trips a day, | sometimes lugging a bucket of water weighing 30 pounds, and sometimes two buckets. The engincers found| that by laying $18 worth of lead pipe and moving the old pump up from the well to within the kitchen, running water could - be supplied the farm home, and the lot of this particular farm woman materially lightened. Running water can be piped into thousands of Minnesota farm homes at Lompar'mvely little expense, say | agricultural engineering division men| of University Farm. Why not con- sult them?
