BAD BRAKES ARE
CAUSE OF FINES
New York Magistrate Deter-
mined Motorists Shall Be
Ready for Any Emergency.
“A man driving an automobile which
bus defective brakes la us much an
enemy of society os a gunman,” de-
clared Magistrate Simms In the New
York City Trafllc court when he Im-
posed fines ranging from $25 to $50
each on motorists who were arrested
by the brake Inspection squud of the
department of public safety. The fines
■were paid by the prisoners who were
convicted of operating pleasure cars,
taxicabs and motor trucks with bud
bruke*. In Imposing the fines, the
court warned the accused that a sec-
ond conviction would meun u term In
the workhouse.
Result of Accidents.
The department of public safety Is
engaged in a city-wide campaign to
Induce motorists to give necessary
attention to brakes. This drive Is a
result of an epidemic of nutomoblle
accidents which caused more than a
dozen deaths In one week. The brake
Inspection squad Is operating In every
borough of Greater Now York, officers
use automobiles und watch others.
When n machine Is seen to be using
brakes that have not been adjusted
It Is halted and the brakes are In-
spected. If they are In bad condition
the driver Is given a summons to ap-
pear In traffic court where Magistrate
Rlmnis Is imposing heavy fines and
Jail sentence* for second offenders.
Due to Bad Brakes.
Results of the recent Investigation
In the Borough of Brooklyn show that
80 per rent of nil auto accidents are
due to had brakes. Several cities have
sent safety experts to nscertaln the
methods employed In New York to
curb this evil. At least a dozen other
municipalities have Inaugurated brake
Inspection campaigns which have re-
sulted In a decrease In the number of
accidents.
The New York city brake inspection
work Is being conducted under the di-
rection of Marcus Dow, president of
the Nutlonnl Safety council, which re
cently made public statistics showing
that more than 12.000 persons were
victims of automobile accidents in this
country last yeur.

Head of Pennsylvania Troopers
Promulgates Fifteen Tips to
Reduce Accidents.
MnJ. Lynn O. Adams, superintend-
ent of the Pennsylvania state inffice
force, recently promulgated the fol-
lowing simple rules which, he said, If
observed by all motorists, would re-
duce the number of accidents on the
highways 05 per cent. The rules ure
as follows:
1. Bead the automobile laws of your
state carefully.
2. Never travel at a high rate of
speed over a road with which you ure
unfamiliar.
8. Never drive, at any time, on the
wrong side of the highway.
4. Heed warning signs.
5. Never ppss, or attempt to pass,
a car going in the same direction at
the crest of a hill or on a curve.
6. Never stop your cur Just over
the brow of a hill or Just around a
curve.
7. Never follow a car traveling at
u high rr.te of speed at less distance
than 50 yards.
8. If you wish to pass unother car
going In your direction choose u long,
straight stretch of road.
0. When you ure lraveling at a
chosen rate of speed don't “speed up”
because someone attempts to push you.
10. Make careful and frequent In-
spections and tests of your brakes.
11. Never use bulbs of higher can-
dlepower than those prescribed by
law for your lenses.
12. Inspect your tall light frequent-
ly. This light marks the position of
your car for the following driver, who j
may he facing light of an oncoming
automobile.
13. Remember that the taking of n
human life by doing * lawful act in
nn unlawful manner'is Involuntary
manslaughter, n crime punishable by
a prlsor sentence.
14. Remember that every time you
"take a chance” you are gambling—
with the lives of other people us the
“stakes.”
15. "Safety First, Last and Always."
GET AWAY FROM MUD SPLASH
When Machines Are Close Together
Dirt Is Not Likely to Strike
as High as Door.
When trying to avoid getting
splashed with mud most drivers will
get as far away from a passing car
us possible. This Is Just the reverse
of what one ought to do to avoid
such nuisance. When the cars are
ten feet or so apart any mud that Is
splashed Is sure to strike the body of
the other car. whereas If the machines
are closer together, say three feet
apart, mud that Is splashed will only
strike the wheels ami the under sides
of the fenders. What mud would or-
dinarily splash on the doors Is much
more likely to be caught under the

Simple Organization Plan.
The plan of organization of these
rings Is kept as simple as possible. The
men Interested In spraying get to-
gether at one of the extension meet-
ings and decide to try co-operative
spraying. Usually n written agree-
ment covering the method of manag-
ing business matters and the owner-
ship of equipment of the ring Is pre-
pared and signed. The kind of equip-
ment, hand or power, Is selected and
the cost Is apportioned, n schedule Is
made out and the members decide
whether some one member will spray
all the orchards for an agreed labor
price, or whether an outside person
will be hired to do the work. Each of
the three plans has proved satisfac-
tory. in Poweshiek county, Iowa, they
have found It most convenient to do the
work Individually; In Stark county.
Illinois, the same plan is followed. In
Union county, Iowa, the sons of two
farmers operated the power-machine
the soil on which the hens are raised.
The turkeys should be hatched and
raised where they will not come In
contact with chickens or chicken yards,
for It is possible to produce blackhead
in chickens by simply feeding them
contaminated soil from a hen yard.
Damp weather and early morning
dews do not cause blackhead, accord-
ing to Investigators. This upsets n
theory long maintained by some poul-
try men. In order to contract the dis-
ease the turkeys must get the germ,
and the fact Is established that they
often do get It by eating the eggs of
the chicken Intestinal worm. Doctor
Billings says the way to raise turkeys

sprayed 14 orchards, some 1.500 trees,
completing each spray In two days, the
members giving little or no attention to
the work. Students if Bunnells Con-
solidated School In Polk county. Iowa,
sprayed practically all the orchards In
their community. Advice as to sprays
nnd time of applying is usually ob-
tained from the county agent.
Size of Ring Varies.
The size of the ring varies, averag-
ing from three or four members In the
smallest ones to twenty or more In the
larger. The cost of operation de-
pends, of course, on several factors, the
type of equipment, whether labor Is I dairy sections,
employed or the work done by members
for themselves, the distance betweeen
orchards, the number of sprays put on,
nnd similar items. For one orchard In
Webster county, Iowa, where four
sprays were applied, the average cost
of material per tree was 37 cents, la-
bor 33 cents, depreciation on machinery
5 cents, making a total cost of 75 cents
per tree for the four sprn.vs. A Union
county (Iowa) ring spent $210 for
equipment, material and the labor of
two men and teams, and sprayed 1.500
trees four times. A 12-orchard ring < r-
gnnized In Johnson county, Iowa, sev-
eral years ago. spends about 15 cents
per tree per spray. The results, ac-
cording to the owners, more than Justi-

Number of Owners Partici-
pating in Campaign Passes
10,000 Mark.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
uf Aki Iculture )
Progress in the "Better Sires—Better
Stock” campaign broke all previous
records, and the number of live stock
owners participating passed the 10,000
mark during the first three months of
1023, us shown by u report Just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. A totul of 1,177 persons
were enrolled during the three-months’
period after having filed with the de-
partment written agreements to use
purebred sires exclusively henceforth.
This is the highest number enrolled
during any quarterly period since the
campaign began three and one-half
years ago. States showing the prin-
cipal activity in this means of improv-
ing their live stock were: Vermont,
West Virginia, Ohio, Virginia, Ken-
tucky, Washington, Nebraska, Texas,
and Indiana. The number of live stock
and poultry listed for improvement
during the period totaled more than
1X6,000.
Government officials who have been
In close touch with the movement since
its beginning three und one-half years
ago are much gratified with the latest
results. The continued Interest belig
shown in the campaign throughout the
country shows the permanent nature
ot the popularity of the purebred sire,
and points to greater possibilities in
the future. The list of persons who
ure using purebred sires exclusively,
now totals 10.100. These live stock
breeders have placed more than 1,200,-
000 head of live stock and poultry on
a purebred-sire basis. On an average
35 per cent of the female animals and
01) per cent of the female poultry, kept
by these persons, are also purebred.
Each year that purebred sires are used
hy these breeders, therefore, greatly
increases the total number of pure-
bred animals in the country.
Standing of States Changes.
During the three-months’ period. Ver-
mont and West Virginia showed the
greatest number of enrollments, caus-
ing gome changes in the relative stand-
ing of the states active In the work.
Vermont, which previously stood
seventh in the list (and six months ago
tenth) is now fifth; while West Vir-
ginia surpassed nine states, advancing
from seventeenth to eighth place. West
Virginia, where legislation outlawing
scrub sires became effective January
X, enrolled more than three times as
many persons during the quarter as
during all of the 13 previous quarters.
On “Roll of Honor"
Four new counties, two of them In
Vermont, one in Ohio, and the othei
in Nebraska, appear on the roll of
counties having 100 or more persons
using purebred sires exclusively. This
brings the total to 20 counties. Rock-
ingham county. Virginia, (Chas. W.
Wampler, county agent) led for the
quarter with 103 new enrollments;
while Miami county, Ohio, (C. M.
Senn, county agent) advanced In the
county standing from eleventh to fifth
place.
Evidence of continued activity dur-
ing the coming months comes from
various sources. The demand for en-
rollment blanks Is unprecedented in
the history of the campaign. From
Kentucky, which is fourth on the list
of states, comes word to the depart-
ment through Wa.vland Rhoades, ttebf
agent In animal husbandry, that on
May 3 there will he held a better-sire
sale nt which 100 purebred bulls will
be put up at auction, and that officials
are planning more things for the fu-
ture.

Tin* rosette disease of wheut, dis-
covered In Illinois and Indiana in 1010,
affects wheat seedlings iu somewhat
the same way as do the attacks by the
Hessian tly and certain other insect
pests. When the trouble is caused hy
insects, their presence or evidence of
their work serves definitely to show
the cause of the trouble. Wheat seed-
lings attacked by rosette disease alone
show no evidence of the presence or
work of Insects, it is pointed out by
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture who have been
investigating these wheat maladies.
The first positive Indications of the
rosette disease become evident early
In the spring after the growth of the
healthy plants is well started. Plants
affected by rosette remain dormant in
the spring after the healthy plants
commence their spring growth. Infest-
ed fields are spotted with irregular
patches of dwarfed plants, the leaves
of which nre dark blue-green in color
and are rather broad and stiff. The
whole plant has a buncliy, rosette up-
pea rn nee.
When both rosette disease and insect
injuries, especially those by Ilessinn
fly, occur together in the spring, It
sometimes is difficult to determine ac-
curately the injuries caused by each.
As the rosette disease is not apparent
in the nutumn and as it becomes evi-
dent in the spring before the emer-
gence of the adult Hessian fly, there
Is very little chance to confuse the two
maladies during these periods. In the
late spring, however, there is a possi-
bility of confusion, especially if plants
affected by rosette show, in addition,
the spring infestation of the Hessian
fly. These matters are discussed in

Twelve Good Reasons
for Building a Silo
1. More feed can be stored in a
given space in form of silage than in
form of fodder or hay.
2. A small loss of food material
when a crop Is made into silage.
3. Corn silage is a better feed than
corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn or kafir can be
placed into a silo nt less cost than the
same area when husked and shredded.
5. Crops can be put in the silo dur-
ing weather which could not be util-
ized for curing fodder or hay.
6. More stock can be kept on a
given area of land when silage is the
basis of a ration.
7. Less wasted in feeding silage
than fodder.
3. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has n beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest nnd best
form in which n succulent feed can be
provided in the winter.
11. Silage enn be used for supple-
mentary pasture more cheaply than
can soiling crops, because It requires
less labor nnd cattle like silage better.
12. Converting corn or kafir crops
into silage clears the land and leaves I
it ready for another crop.
