Warm air weighs less than cool air and here lies the basic principle of properly heating box cars in winter to protect potato shipments against frosts that nip into the farmers profits as well as Into the potatoes. Next to providing beat, the matter of getting it to circulate so that it reaches practically all the potatoes in the car is of greatest importance, y The directions for preparing a box car for potato shipments given herewith are in accord with recommendations of the, United States Department of Agriculture, and apply to winter shipments of sweet potatoes destined for northern points, as well as to the white variety. Suitable Lining Is Important A stove will warm enough air to protect a car of potatoes from freezing even In severe weather, providing the car lining is built and kept in such a condition that the warm air can get down to the floor and sides where it Is needed. To accomplish this a complete air passage must be formed entirely around the load. ' When potatoes are loaded in bulk, are what to construct is it necessary in effect two bins, one on either side of the central area where the stove is placed, if the shipment Is likely to pass through severe weather. In many instances, of course, It is entirely safe t ship without artificial heat in the car. . Before constructing the bins, the walls and celling of the car Itself must be covered with building paper. Following this a false floor is laid on supports running lengthwise,' Qjereby creating air channels four To six Inches deep, extending beneath the false floor from the center of the car to either end where they connect with vertical air passages formed by false walls built four to six inches from the car ends. Likewise, false walls are built a few Inches from the sides nnd a false door is erected at one side for a stovepipe to go through. Bulkheads are put across the car at either side of the door to form a well for the stove. These walls, as well as the center bulkheads, rise well toward the ceiling. The bins are lined with paper, the same as the car walls. l The false noor supports permit air to settle below the false floor and to move toward the base of the stove, where it rises as It 13 heated and circulates toward the ends of the car, between the load and the celling. A rough estimate of the lumber and paper required to line an 8 by 8 by car, with doors 5 feet wide, ' la as follows: . the-coo- t, pieces 2 by 4 Inches by H feet-pieces 2 by 6 Inches by 16 feet 1.300 square feet of lumber, 18 feet. . 2.250 square, feet of building paper. should be sawed In The 13 half, making 28 pieces 7 feet long. Six inches should be sawed off the length Of each of the eight boards pieces. Enough of the should be sawed Into lengths to make a total width of 57 feet of boards and other of these boards sawed into lengths to make a total width of 4 feet. This will leave a few lengths. One foot should be sawed off the remaining lOfOot boards, leaving them, 15 feet long, Tills lumber Is all that is required by so experienced loader to completely equip a car with false walls and 13 8 16-fo- bulkheads. Detailed directions for putting up the lining, easily understood, are contained in Farmers Bulletin 1091 issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The shiipor Is cautioned not to load potatoes so close to the celling that they block circulation. There must be a large unobstructed opening for the warm air to pass down tothe floor after it has spread the length of the celling from the heater. , The circulation Is slow and labored, and to limit it by piling the sacks so that they extend beyond the false walls causes serious interference. In placing potatoes in sacks on the false floor next to the walls care should be taken to set them a few Inches from these partitions, since they are In the region where ibe frost first becomes effective If the cur Is not properly heated. .

The general rule west of the Mississippi Is to permit the return of linings and stoves by freight free of charge. In other regions the regular freight rate usually Is charged. Efforts are being made to have an arrangement, similar to that existing In Maine, applicable throughout the country, and where the car lining and stove are removed it has been recommended that the railroads return them to the shipfourth-clas- s sate. per at one-ha- y Economic Conference May Meet in 1922 conference on armaments will be followed by an economic conference to be held la the spring of 1922, Inquiries ambng the foreign lf DISEASED CONDITION OF SEED SWEET CORN Much Damage Done by Ear and Rot Molds. Worm Growers Urged to Exercise Greatest Care to Insure Quality of 'Next Year's Supply Test Witt Germinator. Rag-Do- ll Because of the damage which has been done to sweet corn throughout the Middle West this season by the ear worin, followed by root and ear-rmolds, corn growers are urged by the United States Department of Agriculture to eccerclse every possible care to Insure the quality of their seed for next years crop. These molds have In many cases rendered a considerable percentage of the ears Other wholly unfit for any purpose. ears, but partly overrun with molds, are unfit for seed but should be used for feed only after the moldy part of the ear Is shelled off. This applies especially to the corn which has been grown for seed. In certain fields in the corn belt the damage has been so great that the corn was rendered unfit for harvesting as seed, practically no ears being found which were not Inx jured. These observations and reports to the department are all based on the evident and conspicuous defects that have been found in sweet corn and dent varieties. It Is known, moreover, that many of the apparently good ears In these damaged fields are diseased and unless special precautions are taken, for example testing with the rag-do- ll germinator, they may pass as good seed com. During the past three years It has been found that much of the sweet com seed which has been purchased In the open market has been badly Inorganfected with mold and ear-risms. The quality of seed obtainable for use next spring depends, then, upon how the seed- grown last year has been cared for, and upon the attention given the selection of seed from this seasons crop. ot - INCREASE OF HESSIAN nocent looking water glass, and gtt looks like water. While Mr. Bryaii was looking elsewhere the waiter filled It with a gin cocktail, permissible, of course, on the premises of a foreign envoy. Presently Mr. Bryan was athirst and he took a swig. Wow! Dashed to the floor went the liquor, glass and all! But the Prince of Peace did not lose his temper. He knew he had been tricked and enjoyed the laughter of his weaker brethren. And of course the sniggering correspondents present had to send the story out to all parts of the world though It Is not absolutely certals that Mr. Bryan sent It to his Commoner. And of course some of the correspondents had to embroider the story. One asked how Mr. Bryan knew it was gin. He didnt, of course. He simply knew it wasnt water. Another wanted to know why Mr. Bryan felt called upon to smash the glassware of his hosts.

Informal conversations on the subject already have taken place between representatives of the governments participating in the present conclave, and the idea has met with tentative approval. The exchanges of views have not proceeded to the point, where the time and place of the meeting or the nations to receive the invitations have been determined. It la not unlikely that. If the present conference Is successful, an agreement to meet again for the consideration of commercial and financial questions may be proposed before the Washington gathering adjourns. It Is reported President Harding might favor the plan If the present conference succeeds. The three-yea- r period over which interest payment on the $10,000,000,-90- 0 owed the United States by the allied powers was spread expires at that time, and there Is no effort to conceal the fact that the European nations' want a general discussion of economic conditions before taking up the debt problem with the United States. , Stabilization of exchange, with particular reference to the German mark, TOO MANY POULTRY LOAFERS f Best Plan to Weed Out Nonproducer and Keep Only Good Laying arid Breeding Fowls. . .
