ROADS IS FLANNIGAN PLEA New Maintenance Engineer Asks Heavy Stuff Be Haul- ed Before Break-Up As North Dakota’s annual spring break-up nears, farmers and truckers were urged by the state highway de- partment Thursday to do their heavy hauling while roads are still frozen. All heavy hauling scheduled for the next few weeks should be done imme- diately as thaws will bring soft spots in unpaved roads, making it necessary to limit the weight of loads that can pass over them. This is necessary to prevent serious damage which may cause highways to become impassable and entail heavy repair expense, said |W. J. Flannigan, new maintenance jengineer. Highway department , maintenance superintendents have been instructed to keep close watch on the highways in their districts so that restrictions can be put into effect at the proper time. The department's policy, Flannigan explained, is to keep roads open as long as possible without seriously in- |Jjuring them, and then te restrict them tonly as long as is actually necessary. Conspicuous signs will be posted wherever a load limit becomes neces- sary. Information regarding restrict- ed roads will be available at all dis- rict offices and the central office here. am Just Arrived “ New patterns, new colors «$15 to $24 OXFORDS ind Black . .$2.50 to $5 $1.95 to $2.75 Men’s and Boys’ New Spring Styles!

The object of doing this is to make the plants better withstand dry weather. If you can be sure of plenty of mois- ture throughout the season it might not be necessary to prune at all, but with the average season it has been found that a 3-foot cane will produce more fruit than a 5-foot cane. Since | the largest fruit is borne on the lower |part of the cane you are not losing so much by cutting off the cane as you might think. y In addition to pruning you also need to consider the number of suck- ers in the raspberry patch that grew last year. If there are more than five or six to each hill, the remaining ones should be dug up and used for increasing the size of the plantation, or otherwise disposed of. In case the raspberry plants have been allowed to increase so that there are no distinct hills, but rows instead, leave about two canes to each foot of the row. After this work has been done, it is well to apply about two pounds of ammonium sulfate to each square rod, scattering it close to the bushes and cultivating it in. This will have no effect upon this year’s crop but will insure a vigorous growth which will mean a larger crop next season. Af- ter this is done it is good practice to cover the ground over to a depth of 2 or 3 inches with very finely rotted manure which will help to conserve the moisture and will not prevent cul- tivation. Soft wood trees like willows and poplars and nearly all shrubs are readily propagated from dormant cut- tings. If the cuttings are made late in the spring they are not so apt to grow as they are when made some {time in March and stored under |proper conditions until time to set them in the ground. Cuttings made at this time should be placed hori- | Zontally between damp cloths or in moist sand and kept at a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees for about three weeks. They should then be trans- ferred to a temperture of 35 to 40 de- | grees, which would be about the aver- jage temperature of outdoor sheds or granaries, until time to set them in the ground, usually about the 10th of May. Cuttings ordinarily are made from 8 to 10 inches in length and usually of the last season’s growth. Willows and poplars will grow as well from two or even three-year-old wood. Cut- tings should be set practically their full length in the ground at an angle of some 30 degrees, and the ground and soil pressed firmly about them. After growing in the garden, or wherever placed, for one year they are ready to be transferred to their permanent place. Currants, honey- suckle, red dogwood, spirea, mock orange and many other shrubs can readily be propagated in this man- ner. Small Nations Spurn Four-Power Scheme Geneva, March 23.—(#)—The world disarmament conference declined to adjourn Thursday to make way for four-power conversations among Brit- ish, French, German and Italian rep- resentatives as proposed in the Mus- solini peace plan. The decision was generally inter- preted as a veto by the small powers to a proposal for an European di- rectory by the great powers. (France objected to the Mussolini plan, demanding that its allies, Po- land, Czecho-Slovakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia, be treated as equals. It demanded that the plan be held with- in the framework of the League of Nations. France and her allies be- lieved this would prevent an Italo- German bloc against them. The dis- armament conference is a League agency.) The conference met Thursday to consider a proposal for immediate ad- sourament until after the Easter holi- ys. A general discussion of the disarm- ament plan of Prime Minister Ram- say MacDonald of England, propos- ing definite reductions in armies and navies for various nations, will begin Friday afternoon.
