Poor Highways Found to
Be Rather Expensive
Pased on an annual mileage of 11.-
C00, this year's motoring will cost
the car owner who drives on poor
roads $226.60 more than the expendi-
tures of motorists who drive the same
distance on high-type roads, accord
In to the touring department of the
Detroit Automobile club,
This wide difference in the cost
of motoring Is calculated from fig-
ures furnished the motor club by the
highway education board. The board
based its findings on the cost of op-
erating an automobile of the average
sino,
“It costs an average of $0200 per
mile more to drive a car on a bad
road than on a good highway,” says
a motor club statement. “While this
sum may seem negligible, one year of
driving 11,000 miles on poor roads will
result In the additional cost already
mentioned. It is a fact that the ap-
proximate tax upon each ear owner
for a system of adequate highways
is, with respect to the country at large,
in the neighborhood of one-tenth of
the additional cost of driving over
bad roads for one year.
“In approving any good roads pro
grams motorists are therefore approv-
ing an investment that will annually
bring them dividends .10 times the
glze of thelr original Investment. It
would be extremely difficult to cone
ceive a manner in which money could
be Invested more profitably.”

Cutworms Injure
Many Vegetables
Use Control Measures as
Soon as Pests Put in
Their Appearance.
Cutworms, a general term applied
to worms that cut off plants close to
the ground, will do the greatest
amount of damage from now until
the middle of June unless control
measures are taken as soon as the
damage begins.
Paper Collar Keeps Worms Away.
Where a person has only a few gar-
den plants like beans, tomatoes and
cabbages, a stiff paper collar put
around the plants will keep the cut-
worms from molesting them, observes
Dr. C. P. Glllete, the entomol-
ogist. Take a stiff piece of paper
about the size of a postal card, bend
it Into a cylinder and place around
the stem of the plant beneath the sur.
face of the ground so that ome

Tomato I Blossom Rot Is

The condition known as blossotn fs

the Oregon experiment station, It is
especially troublesome where abun

Control of Potato Pests

Two fields under observation last sum-
mer provided additional evidence in
of the theory. Both flelds
were almost free of diseases. One
was sprayed regularly so the plants
were kept coated with bordeaux. That

Paper Mulch Is Good
for Home Gardens
Is Particularly Valuable to
Control Weeds.
For the home gardener paper mulch
Is worth all it costs for the satisfac-
tion of controlling weeds, The paper
Is particularly valuable when the gar-
den is neglected during vacation time,
says Prof. H, C, Thompson of Cornell
university. However, he does not rec-
ommend its general use by commer-
cial gardeners, because In experiments
conducted at the New York state col-
lege of agriculture nearly as many
crops falled to show profits from the
use of the paper as have been in-
creased profitably,
In the experiments the ylelds from
paper on well-cultivated plots of beets,
cabbage, beans, peppers,
muskmelons, and potatoes were com-
pared, The differences In yields from
the mulch paper was influenced by the
weather; when there was ample rain
the paper was less profitable than
when the rainfall was light, he said.
The paper is expensive and so is
the labor to lay it properly, so

family, the fact that they own their

standards by which credit is measured.
