Pavement Buckjes
Under Intense Heat
PAWHUSKA—It was sawarm here
Tue.-day that a section of pavement
on Highway No. 11. leading north out
of the city, buckled up more than a
foot and forced motorists to detour
around it The heat caused the con-
crete to expand, and it forced a joint
to raise at a sharp angle. The buck-
ling occurred suddenly. A soda pop
truck aproacning it did not have time
to stop, and several dozen bottle* were
broken as the machine bounced ever
the upheaved pavement At the time
the pavement buckled, it was 97 in
the shade and 106 in the sun.

Native gra.-ses which aid in com-

abused by over-grazing. This practice
not only reduces the value of land,

regulated, according to its true carry-

grassseed germinates poorly and is
hard to establish on soil that has been
under cultivation.

the following suggestions: Keep the
stock off until the grass has reseeded

entire summer, using the pasture for
winter only); scatter bermuda grass-

spring, dig up available bermuda roots

bermuda find it difficult to secure a

The native grass can be relied upon
to cover the land if it is allowed to be

However, this method is not an eco-

The Collins Farm company, of near
Geary, hzs been using combine pick-
ups in harvesting wheat and oats with
success, says County Agent W. R
Hutchinson in a report to the exten-
sion division of Oklahoma A. and M.
college.
The company started headers cut-
ting the grain and windrowing it early
in the season, getting most ofgit cut
before the wheat lodged. In that way,
Mr. Hutchinson points out, they did
not have the excess straw to handle
and were not bothered with the field
pea.
"The pickup attachment i< working
very nicely," he says, "and is picking
the wheat up in good shape. It takes
about the same power to run it as to
pull the combine with the sickle run-
ning.”
He points out that it the wheat laid
in windrows for a week or 10 days be-
cause of wet weather, much cf it
would probably be wasted.

Begin Planning for a
Winter Dairy Pasture
That chicken raising is popular with
farm families is evidence from the re-
cent study of family Bring in 500
Oklahoma homes by Miss Grace Fer-
nandes of the experiment station at
Oklahoma A. and M. college.
There was an average of 217 chick-
ens in a family flock. Eighty families
owned flwks of more than 400 chick-
ens each. Twenty-one families did not
have any chickens. Families owning
their homes averaged 252 chickens,
while tenants averaged 174 to a flock.
The majority of families not owning
chickens were laborers. Only one
owner did not have a chicken on his
farm.
The housewives averaged using 77
chickens during the year for food.
The families of farm owners used an
average of 87 chickens, and the ten-
ants used only 70, says Miss Fernan-
des.
The families in the group taken
from the wheat district in Garfield
county both produced -and used the
largest number, while the group taken
from the cotton district in Carter
county produced and used the ’east
number Homes were selected in Gar-

Begin making plans now for the
winter pasture for the dairy herd,
suggests H. P. Moffitt, extension dai-
ry specialist of Oklahoma A. and M.
college. .
Rye or winter wheat make satisfac-
tory cover crops for grazing purna-
ses. Winter rye furnishes one of the
earliest spring pastures for Okla-
homa. If the rye does well, two cows
may be turned on one acre. The rye .
can be turned under early enough in
the spring for some other crop that
vear, or it may be followed by rudan
grass for summer pasture.
Pastures should be included 'n our
regular rotation of crops, advises i
Moffitt. The land will likely never be-
come too valuable to plant rye or |
wheat, he says. .

The shedroof type of house, recom- Combine Pickup Helping
merded by the poultry department of * — * ----
Oklahoma A. and M. college, is the
one for poultry raisers in this state
to use, says H. G. Ware, the extension
poultryman.
It is admirably suited to Oklahoma
conditions, and while it is not recom-
mended outride the state, this type of
house is being built in places as far
away as New York state and the Do-
minion of Canada.
In comparison with ether types it
is the simplest to construct and the
lowest in cost per bird space, Ware
>ays. With proper front ventilation
there is a uniform circulaiton of air
along the roof and out, causing no
draft. A house with a shedroof slop-
n er, since the sun rays do not fall di-
rectly on the roof.
Square House Best
The size of the house to be built de-
pends on the number of birds to ba
housed. A square house is more eco
nomical in construction and more sat-
is factory than a long, shallow house
oi a narrow, deep house, as it affords
the maximum amount of floor'pace nt
a minimum cost, he points out. The
20x20-foot laying house accommodates
the average flock of 100 to 125 birds
in Oklahoma. Several units may be
luilt together, hut each unit has a
so’id portion, with a door for passage,
which prevents drafts.
If too many birds are crowded into
a house, the vitality of the birds is
lowered and they become less disea*e-
re.ristant. It is necessary that at least
3 square feet of floorspace be pro-
vided for each bird. Ample floorspace
is needed for feeding purposes, espe-
cially during cold and wet weather.
Wan make* these suggestions for
the construction of the poultry house:
The corners of the house are located
by exact measurements. Care should
be taken to see that corners are at
right angles, or square. Run string
from corner to corner and pull tight.
Use spirit level to determine level,
lowering corners till all sides are
level. Dig a trench 12 inches wide un-
der the string line. The trench is deep
enough tc have solid ground as a base.
To make the form for concrete foun-
lation, drive stakes 8 inches apart,
with boards nailed inside of stakes.
The inside measurement of form is 6
inches wide, giving a foundation 6
inches in width.
Keep Above Water
It is best that the level of the floor
bp 4 to 6 inches above ihe "round
level, or high enough to keep out sur-
face water.
A 6-inch ledge is extended all around
the bottom < f the foundation at right
angles. This will prevent iats from
boring under the floor.
A mixture of 1 part cement, 2 parts I
•■and and 1 parts coarse gravel or
•rushed rock is mixed well and wet
thoroughly before pouring into fonr.
While the concrete is soft, place
by 8-inch bolts 5 feet apart, head
lown, and leaving 8 inches above level
f concrete. The 2 by 4-inch rill, witi
holos bored to fit bolts, is bolted te
the foundation with washer- and nuts.
I’o this ,111 the walls are nailed. The
bolts tie the house to the foundation.'
