This, too, in spite of a naturally Increasing number of accidents incidents to driving automobiles. But back of this dally Increasing number of people who are riding In automobiles Is the fact that good roads are dally making the motorcar a more enjoyable means of recreation and transportation, says Irwin A. Kuhn, a Cleveland electrician. The day Is still within the memory of a great many when an automobile was something of a mixed blessing. Only the rich were favored with the advantage of jolting and jarring over bumpy, rutty roads. It was then considered a luxury to be able to boast e that you made a trip without any trouble except a couple of blowconouts, a broken spring, a burnt-ou- t necting rod and a few such trifles. Today the automobile Is no longer considered a luxury. It has become a necessity and, as necessity mothers Invention, automobile engineers have therefore eliminated Just about every discomfort formerly an Integral part of the motorcar. And hand in hand with the automobile engineers have come the automobile associations to father good roads. , Good roads have done for the automobile what the automobile has done for the people, comments Mr. Kuhn. They have lengthened its useful life by several years. Poor roads cost many millions of dollars to the pioneer automobile owners and drivers. But those days are gone forever. Todays equivalent of horse sense Is auto suggestion, a state of mind which has within the last few years Insinuated and Impregnated Itself into the Intelligences of our state legislatures, not, of course, until they had themselves become motorists and experienced ths 999 separate Jars and Jolts on every mile of road.

One cannot travel for long in Holland without becoming aware that the roads are kept In excellent condition, a delight to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. Raised In the center, these roads are there overlaid with level pathways of brick. From thence they slope downward and outward. With the increase of motor traffic during recent years, this system of road building Is to be changed for what is considered to ho a better method, but even now traveling In a car moving at full speed, the motion is as nearly perfect as could be desired. Apart from the main roads there Is a wonderful system of roads and pathways for the cyclist. The flat nature of most of the country makes cycling a natural and easy mode of traveling. Every one In Holland cycles and, thanks to the enterprise of the Dutch Cycling club, every one can cycle everywhere. In the Guelderland and the country bordering It are great stretches of heathland, and over miles of this often wooded moorland one can ride in almost every direction on fine sandy paths cut across the heath and through the woods. These paths are kept In good condition by the cycling clnb, of which any one may become a member. It Is amusing and Interesting to watch a whole party of cyclists threading Its way in single file through the midst of a wood passing round and about and through the trees and undergrowth, a with the greatest ease.

Physical factors such as soil and climatic conditions play an Important part in the type of farming adaptable to a given region. Temperature limits the northern distribution of cotton, southern distribution of wheat, and northern distribution of corn. Rainfall and length of growing season are other important factors the effects of which are very apparent in our agriculture. Factors of Second Class. The second class of factors discussed in the bulletin is called biological factors. The effect of the boll weevil in reducing cotton acreage near the Gulf and Atlantic coasts is an example. The chinch bug has reduced the acreage of corn in southern Illinois, and the Hessian fly has changed the date of seeding winter wheat and has probably reduced the acreage of this crop in some localities. Many other cases are cited in which insect pests and fungous diseases are determining factors. In the third class are economic factors, such as cost of transportation and distance from market. Another important one is competition with regions which can produce more cheaply. This last is a factor In limiting the acreage of corn, oats, wheat, barley, and rye in those parts of New England where these crops thrive. The bulletin alms to make clear the part these fundamental factors play in determining the possibility of establishing on a profitable basis a new or different type of farming, and to show that the kind of farming which prevails is based on them, rather than on the desires or whims of the farmers.

Internal Freezing Does Much Harm to Potatoes ne- crosis, occurs when potatoes are exposed to severe frosts, temperatures below twenty-eigh- t degrees Fahren- heit. The tubers show dark blotches In the flesh when they are cut open and allowed to stand a short time. The spots are usually most marked at the stem end, but they are scattered Irregularly through the outer flesh or In a fine network or ring. Ordinarily the Injury Is detected only upon cutting, although the affected tubers wilt more than the normal ones in storage. Potatoes may actually be frozen solid throughout, becoming soft and mushy on thawing. As a result of coming in contact with a cold wall in storage, or being left above the ground before digging, potatoes may freeze on one side. Tubers Injured in this way are easily sorted out. Turning sweet Is due to prolonged storage at low temperatures, twenty-nin- e to thirty-fou-r degrees Fahrenheit, not to real freezing. Tubers that have never been frost bitten may show this Injury.

And It not only affects wheat, but other grains and grasses as well. The cause of this disease is a tiny fungous parasite, which grows in the wheat plant a little like the wheat plant Itself grows In the soil, and this parasite destroys the parts of the wheat plant in which it grows. The same parasite also grows on corn, and naturally wheat following corn may be seriously affected by scab. In order to control the disease the United States Department of Agriculture recommends that the farmer (1) Avoid sowing wheat after corn unless the Cornstalks are removed and the stubble completely plowed under. (2) Plow under all crop refuse and clean up the old straw and grasses along the fence rows and in nearby waste places. (3) Use clean seed of adapted vaSeed should be thoroughly rieties cleaned, graded and treated. (4) Sow wheat when the ground Is cool, winter wheat on the latest date In the fall, and spring wheat on the earliest safe date in the spring. If you are Interested in making a more thorough study of the scab problem write to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. and ask for Farmers Bulletin Wheat Scab and Its Control. C., 1224, Many Injurious Insect Pests May Be Destroyed Since many troublesome insects hi bernate in dead plants and trash and In grass and weeds along the borders of cultivated land, H. A, Gossard, entomologist of the Ohio experiment station, states that large numbers of them may be destroyed In late fall or very early spring by burning the collected trash and dead grass. Tarnished plant bugs, squash bugs, and slugs are cited as examples. These pests pass the winter In weedy borders, among refuse, under stones and other objects. They could be almost entirely eliminated if entire comIn removmunities would ing all means for their protection during winter. Potato stalks, squash vines, onion tops, asparagus plants, bean and pea vines, and the like furnish shelter during the winter for many insects that feed upon these plants. Fall plowing, where soil conditions permit the practice, will result in the destruction of many cutworms, white grubs, com ear worms, army worms, and eggs of the grasshopper, where these pests are numerous. Weekly Press Bulletin, Ohio experiment station. Too Much Moisture Will Cause Potatoes to Decay An excess of moisture will cause the growth of decay in the potato storage. Some growers make a practice of curing their potatoes before storing. This is done by piling them in piles of 30 bushels or more, and covering them with the potato vines. After the potatoes are well dried so there Is no excess moisture, and are free from dirt, they may be placed in storage. Sometimes the ventilators ol the storage are left open for several days after storage to facilitate drying. Care should be used, however, that pptatqes In storage do not become too dry, as they may wilt or shrivel.

Internal freezing Injury, or frost DAIRY HINTS is the body. Aids digestion, Meal cleanses the teeth, soothes the throat dairy- mans magic formula for good milk, according to K E Keeney, dairy specialist of the New Jersey State Agricultural college, In a statement stressing the present market demand for cheaper milk. The market will not pay a big price for milk, writes Mr. Keeney, so we dairymen must cut our production costs. The two factors controlling the economical production of milk are the adaptability of the cow for giving milk, judged by her conformation, and by the milk scales and the Babcock test, and the amount and kind of food taken. The feed bill is the largest direct expense, and the dairyman's high road to success lies In producing a unit of clean, wholesome milk for the least possible cost. The first essential for good milk Is good cows, the other Is proper feed and care It may be summarized briefly in three words, feed, weed and breed. Silage and alfalfa hay are the best for cheap milk, and they are the best and cheapest roughage feeds. Ehery dairyman should have them and should follow these directions: Feed all the roughage a cow will clean up. Part of it should be a legume, such as clover or alfalfa. Keep a balanced ration. Give sufficient feed, such as silage or roots. Feed grain In accordance with milk production for a Holstein or Ayrshire, approximately one pound of grain for each three pounds of milk. A variety of grains In the mixture is desirable. Feed and milk regularly. Give plenty of fresh water at all miwm a good thing to remember Sealed in its Parity FLAVOR LASTS Poetic Interpretation.

Give access to salt daily. Buy grain feeds on the basis ol their protein and energy, not simply by the hundredweight. Bred Heifers Are Often Best Buy for Dairyman What age of heifer is the best buy Is a question frequently asked of the New York state college of agriculture at Ithaca. The men there who are giving thought to herd improvement explain the advantages and disadvantages In the purchase at all three of the ages, as baby calves, as yearlings, and as bred heifers. Baby calves are cheaper and more easily shipped. However, they are somewhat less likely to live than older stock; and further, there Is more uncertainty as to how they will develop. With yearlings, the chances of living are better, and the type is more likely to be fixed, yet a long time still remains before they will be productive. But since yearling heifers may sell at a disadvantage, they may be a good purchase. Bred heifers are frequently the best buy. They are developed as to size, and the possibilities for milk production can be estimated. Their mortality rate should be low ; and the cost of carrying to production is slight. They may even be worth a slight premium where there Is a good market for milk, and It Is desired to establish a herd promptly. Timothy Is Not Favored as Feed for Dairy Cows Timothy hay is all too frequently ted to dairy cows. There is only one occasion when Its use for this purpose when the cows are can be developed to be dried off. Where dairy cattle are being fed and timothy hay Is the only dry roughage available, It should be sold and clover or alfalfa purchased. Timothy is generally quoted on the central markets as high or even higher than the legume hays, and the dairyman can well afford to make the exchange even though he has the hauling to pay.
