Commercial Value of Product In
fluenced Greatly by Soil and

OVERPRODUCTION IS MENAGE
Certain Methods for Production of
Various Types Are Recommended
by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Tlio tolmcco plant mny bo crown
successfully In nil lntltudes from
southern Cnnntln to the tropica nnd on
n great variety of soils, hut tho com
merclnl value of the product Is Influ
enced to n gronter degree by the pur
tlculnr soil nnd climatic conditions un
der which the plnnt Is grown thnn
Is almost nny other Important crop.
These facts nre so well recognized tbat
the tobacco Industry hns become high
ly specialized, and the trade regulnrly
looks to certain well-defined areas of
production for Its supply bf tho vurl
ous classes nnd types of leaf required.
In these tobncco-produclng districts
the necessnry facilities for ninrkotlng
nre nvnllable, nnd prevailing prices of
the cured leaf are governed largely
by the relative supply and demand nnd
by tho qunllty of the leaf produced.
Increased Production.
Ench Important district produces n
tobacco of ccrtnln well-known charac
teristics which make It deslrnblo for
special purposes of manufacture or ex
port. Moreover, In practically nil of
these districts the production cnn -be
readily Increased to meet any In
creased demand nt profitable prices.
For these reasons efforts to Introduce
tho commercial growing of tobacco In
sections outside of the established
producing centers are likely to result
In failure, either because the . leaf pro
duced Is not quite right In type or
satisfactory marketing facilities nre
not nvnllable. Furthermore, any de
velopment of the Industry In u new
section on n Inrge scale, which would
bo essential for economical marketing,
would most likely lead to overproduc
tion and, as n consequence, unprofita
ble prices. As a matter of fact, over
production Is a constant menace In all
of tho established centers of tobacco
growing.
Growing and Handling.
The methods of growing and han
dling the crop must bo vnrled accord

methods of growing nnd handling
which are employed. Certain methods

SLIDING DOOR ON CONCRETE
' Iowa Farmer Solves Problem by Us-
Ing Channel in Groove, Anchored
With Rods.
When n sliding door Is used nt tho
entrance of n barn or machine shed
a groove between the floor nnd the
nppronch Is often used ns n guide for
the door. But when concrete Is used
this construction Is not satisfactory,
I ns the ediros nre chlnnpil nfp hv tho
wheels of wagons nnd other ranchlnery
with steel tires.
An Iowa farmer hiis solved this
problem In n very simple nnd satisfac
tory manner. He placed n three-Inch,
four-pound chnnncl Iron In tho groove.
Holes were drilled through the sides nt
Intervals of two feet and rods plnced
through them to serve ns anchors.
The Iron protects tho concrete nnd
forms n smooth guide for the door.
PROPER ROOST FOR PULLETS
When About Half Matured Provide
Platform for Fowls About Eight
een Inches From Floor.
Never provide roosts until the pul
lets nre about half matured. A good
plan Is to have a platform erected,
nbout eighteen Inches from the floor,
upon which they mny go at night.
After the birds are nbout half ma
tured, roosts cnn be placed on this
platform, to which they will readily
take. Where pullets nre compelled to
roost on the floor until well grown,
they are very slow nbout taking to
roostH when they require It. Besides,
unless the droppings nre cleaned up
dnily. roosting on tho floor will soon
breed n lot of red mites which will
torment the stock more than nnythlng
else.
MARKET FOR PUREBRED SIRES
One Method Is to Inaugurate a Cam
paign for High-Class Bulls in
Place of Scrubs.
There nre two ways of helping tho
mnrket for purebred hulls. One meth
od Is to put on purebred sire cam
paigns, which will help to put pure
bred bulls In place of scrub bulls
throughout tho country, nnd the other
method Is to castrate tho poorer Indi
viduals and place only tho better class
of bulls on tho market. Both methods
can bo used to good advantage by tho
purebred men, nnd both methods will
help tho live stock production of tho
country.

FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS

The unprecedented stimulus given
highway construction In the United
States In the four years that havo
pnssed slnco tho federnl government
entered upon Its policy of aiding road
Improvement, Is shown by the fact
that road operations under the federnl

canal. The participation of the na
tional government In highway Improve
ment marked a departure from a policy
which had been followed for nearly
a century. Federal co-operation with
the stntes on approximately a "50-50"
basis has counted more thnn any other
factor, says Mr. MacDonnld, In Initi
ating highway construction that Is be
ing carried on under ndequate super
vision, nnd In nccord with a program
co-ordlnutlng locnl, state and nntlonal
needs.
Second only In Importance to the
size of the present road-building pro
gram Is tho excellence of the char
acter of the roads lx'lng built. Sixty
per cent of the total allotment of fed
eral funds which hns been approved
to dnto will be spent for ronds of
such durable types as bituminous con
crete. Portland cement concrete, nnd
vltiifled brick. These ronds, when
built, will Increase by 7.G0O miles the
total of M.-100 miles of roads of this
class which existed In the United
States before the federal-aid road law
was passed. But these figures by no
menus represent tho total mileage af
fected. In 1015 the total expenditure for
roads nnd bridges by all the states and
locnl governments was $207,000,000.
while this year tho estlmnted funds
nvnllable for main road construction
nre nearly three times that amount,
or $033,000,000. In nil, federnl funds
to the amount of $200,750,000 havo
been apportioned nmong 48 states
without n suggestion of favoritism
so adequate are the provisions for n
Just apportionment.
One of the early and most fnr-rench-Ing
results directly attributable to the
adoption of the federal-aid program
was the crentlon of adequate state
highway departments In 17 stntes which
previously had either no stnte depart
ment, or departments Insulllciontly
equipped. Within one year after the
passage of the federal-aid road act
more constructive state highway legis
lation wns placed upon the statute
books tjian had ever been enacted in
n similar period In the history of the
country.
Tho Insistence of the government
upon the construction of federal-aid
roads under the supervision of engi
neers of the state departments has re
sulted In placing a much larger pro
portion of road work under skilled
direction. In 10J5, the year before
the federal-aid act was passed, only
30 per cent of the money for roads
and bridges built In the United States
wns expended under the supervision
of Btnte highway departments. This
your these departments will exercise
control over fully 80 per cent of tho
large sums that will bo spent for road
building.

FLOCKS
CAUSE OF TURKEY FAILURES
When on Freo Range There Is No
Overfeeding and Necessary Exer
cise Is Obtained.
Improper feeding combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
of many fnllurs In turkey raising.
When on free range the poults nre
busy most of the day searching for
feed. Here there Is no overfeeding
and lack of exercise, such as poults
arc often subjected to by those Ignor
ant of their wants. If the rnnge la
plentifully supplied with green feed,
grasshoppers, and other Insects, and If
the weather Is favorable, the best plan
Is to allow the poults to feed them
selves. It Is usually advisable, how
ever, to have them come home nt night,
nnd If driven up nnd fed at n certain
place every night they will soon lenm
to come up themselves.
When, on nccount of rnlny weather
or unfavorable range conditions, It Is
ulvlsablo to raise the poults by tho
"oop method, more enro must be given
o their feeding.
Successful turkey misers use many
different kinds of feed. Some- suggest
ed by the United States department
of agriculture poultry specialists fol
low :
Hard-boiled egg chopped line nnd
orn-hrond crumbs for the first week,
nnd then whole whent and hulled oats;
-Inle bread, soaked In milk and
iquee7ed dry, for the first few days,
nnd then common chick feed ; clab
bered milk seasoned with a little salt
and pepper, corn-bread crumbs; equnl
narts i'plnhend" oats, whole wheat and
lacked corn; cracked wheat; corn
menl and wheat bran mixed In the
proportion of three to one und baked
Into bread; and brnn or middlings
ine-half. cracked Egyptian corn one
quarter, wheat und hulled oats onc
quartor. In addition to tho above, skim milk
and buttermilk nre quite often fed,
with excellent results. A good plan
Is to keep the milk In front of tho
poults during the morning nnd water

during the afternoon. If grit 'and
green feed cannot be picked up out
side the coop, they must be provided
In some other way. Chopped onion
tops, lettuce lenves, dnndellon leaves,
and nlfalfa make excellent green feed.
Grit can be furnished In the form of
coarse sand.
CAREFUL IN FEEDING CHICKS
Little Fellows Will Grow Moro Rap.
Idly if Fed Five Times Dally
if It Is Done Right.
Young chickens should be fed from
three to live times dally, depending
upon one's experience In feeding, says
the United States department of agri
culture. Undoubtedly chickens can
be grown faster by feeding live times
dnily than by feeding three times
dally, It should be borne In mind tlint
more harm can be done to the young
chickens by overfeeding than by un
derfeeding, and at no time should they
be ,fed more than barely to satisfy
their appetites and to keep them 'ex
ercising, except nt the evening or Inst
meal, when they should be given all
they will cat. Greater care must bo
exercised not to overfeed young
chicks that nre confined thnn thoso
that have free range, as leg weakness
Is upt to result In those confined.
