"Handing Kggs rw Protit" ! tin' title of a little mimeographed circular Issued by the food research laboratory of the bureau of chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture. ! which gives directional and drawings for the construction of egg cases and ; outlines methods for packing the eggs so as to reduce loss from breakage while in transit from the producers to consuming centers. The specialists in the food research laboratory have made a study of meth nis for packing and shipping eggs in order to reduce the great losses from . breakage that have occurred In the past. This work has been done in al! parts of tht country in cooperation "with railroads and with egg shippers. H6.3 FIG. 3 The Right Method of Nailing Crates Is Shown in Fig. 1, Proper Methods of Packing in Fig 2, 3 and A Poorly Made and Packed Crates Are Shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Experimental shipments in different kinds of shipping cases and with the different methods of packing the eggs in the cases have been made and the results compared. An instrument has been devised for measuring and re cording the shocks to which cars con taining eggs were subjected while in transit. As a result of these experiments the specialists have recommended methods of "packing eggs which reduce breakage to a minimum. These methods have been tried under a great variety of onditions, and have been incorporated as requirements in the railroad and ex press classifications for the transpor tation of eggs. Nails in place save claims, it is terse ly said ; and, as shown in figure 1, ihe number .and arrangement of these .necessary in order to conform with t he requirements of the express and consolidated freight classifications are tts follows: 1 Threepenny nails, cement coated, wiUi large heads. 18 nails for each side, i for each end. C In center. ' 21 nails for bottom, 7 in each end. 7 in center. 8 nails for top, 4 in each end, for flush cleat. 6 nails for top, S in each end, for drop cleat. Egg packers are advised to be sure ihat they use the correct number oi alls. When 6 paper-covered excelsior mats H.e used, flats should not be placed be tween the mats and the fillers. "When cupped' trays made of compressed pulp aie employed. It is best to begin by placing one 25-cup filler, receiving side d( wnward, on the bottom of the case Then place one 16-cup filler, receiving f lde upward on top, nesting it. Fill the cups with eggs and cover with one yl6-cup filler. Then place one 25-cup filler, receiving side upward ; fill cups with eggs and cover with a 25-cup filler. Improper packing invites breakage, and figure 5 illustrates a poorly packed" case. Sometimes an extremely thin layer of excelsior, many times a small amount of loose paper, or perhaps nothing at all is placed on the top and bottom, -leaving the ease loosely packed and the chances for breakage and loss are great. Very frequently such poor ly packed cases have broken and stained fillers and flats, and such a combination greatly increases the prob ability of damage. Fresh filling for nest boxes" everj month is none too often. Don't .expect 200-egg pullets fron 100-egg hens. Remember that "lik begets like." Lice, dampness and overfeeding are responsible for the greater part of the heavy mortality in young stock. Improve the quality of your flocks by purchasing some good fowls from heavy-laying strain of pure-breds. It will-be. 'money well spent. The best way to kill off lice is to prevent them from getting a start. Thic-is ruch easier than it Is to give them a chance and then fight them afterward. nai c,cts Ft32 fVTFZStr y UTFLftT "us Ft 3. 6 ppfNOFEC And c t j ti-.-tn wtM ! i ea ic hii in PATROL SYSTEM IS FAVORED Pointed Out by Department of Agrl culture as Illustration of Eco nomical Maintenance. (Frpard by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The road patrol system used iu Grant couuty, Wash., is pointed out by the United State Department of Agiiculture as an illustration of how highways can be maintained most suc cessfully and economically. Other counties in the state use the 'gang" system, assigning to each gang a long section, upon which they make repairs at Intervals, seldom reaching all the necessary points. In Grant county the plan is to prevent a road from getting Into bad condition rather than to make repairs. There are 13 patrol sections, each from six to ten miles long, in the 87.83 miles of county highways. Each sec tion is in charge of a patrolman, who works oonstnntlv on lus niece of road. SRC. w v v a" Patrolman is KesponsiDie Tor uonai tion of His Section of Highway. feeling that he alone is responsible for its condition. While these men work under the direction of the coun ty engineer, the details are left large ly to their judgment. A specially constructed light road machine, called locally a "road fixer," is used. It has a long wheel base and two cutting blades rigidly connected with the carrying frame of the ma chine. The rear wheels are on sep arate axles, controlled by separate levers. The patrolman carries the necessary small tools for clearing weeds, trimming shoulders, cleaning ditches, and for handling surfacing material. He makes his own repairs In the county repair shop under the direction of a skilled mechanic. The annual cost of this system, states the bureau of public roads, av erages $223 a mile, which is less than other counties pay where roads receive attention "only when they need it." Grant county lias graveled roads sec ond to none in the state, and its peo ple are enthusiastic supporters of the patrol system. TONNAGE ON COUNTRY ROADS Report of Bureau of Markets Shows Extent to Which Highways Are Being Used. The necessity of keeping country roads in good condition is shown by a report recently compiled by the bureau of markets and crop esti mates, United States Department of Agriculture, showing the extent to tvhich they are used in hauling farm products to market. According to the report, which shows the tonnage of 11 products hauled on country roads, giving the yearly average for the pe riod froi.i 15)15 to 1919, there were 27 tons of these 11 crops hauled for ev ery 100 acres of land. The average tonnage of the 11 crops hauled on country roads each year for the pe riod mentioned amounted to 86,560,000 tons. The 11 crops referred to in the report are corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, flaxseed, cotton (including seed), tobacco, potatoes, and culti vated hay. . BUILD IN FALL AND WINTER According to Engineers Money Spent in Constructing Roads in Spring, Is Wasted. The building of roads in the spring is opposed by good engineers, who in sist that money spent at that season is largely wasted.- They hold that work should be done in the fall rnd winter, when the ground is in better condition and when foundations can be laid with greater permanence. They also criticize the skimpy manner in which foundations are laid, pointing out that subsequent repair bills make the whole cost much greater than the cost of solidly-built roads. Dig Work in Ohio. The great highway system of Ohio for this year includes the construction of 500 miles of heavy duty roads, re presenting an outlay of $11,000,000. Right of Way in Franc.

(Special.) "No one is wise enough to know or foresee the outcome of the world wide financial and political mix-up that has followed the world war and the inilated price jov riding spree that we have all en gaged in." said H. G. Hastings, Prea Ident of the Georgia Association, Geor gia's organization for state-wide de velopment. "The wise farmer in the South will forget the 30 to 40 cent cotton price that led him to disaster in 1920 and figure on a selling price of around 15 cents under conditions of" normal yield and acreage which we are very liable to have in 1922. This necessi tates reduced cost of cotton making or else being wiped out. "The cost of cotton or other cash crop making in the South or any where else is largely food cost, food for the farmer and his family, food I in the shape of grain and forage for his working live stock. With lowprices for cotton or other cash crop the farmer cannot afford to pay any out sider profit or expense on tbe food he, his family and working live stock consume.- This means to quit living off of supply merchants' shelves and to live off the products of home acres. "The situation requires chickens, bogs, milk cows and acres of corn, oats, wheat, forage and miscellane ous crops from which to feed them Last but not least, in importance, is the home vegetable garden which is the quickest and cheapest source of food in the world. "Most folks here in the South don't taken tb.9 home garden seriously and thereby make a great mistake. There are too many of tiis 'lick and a prom ise" sort of gardens and mighty few of the real sure enough kind. "We have been "old repeatedly by those who plan an' prepare for a real garden, plant it, tend it and keep it replanted through the season, that It furnishes half the family living at no money cost except the small amount spent for the seeds needed. "The garden is, or rather should be. the earliest planted. It brings food the quickest. It starts cutting store hills for food the first week anything is ready to use. A little later, half or -more needed for the table comes out of the garden. "If rightly tended and replanted it supplies food all summer and fall, the surplus above daily needs goes into can3 or is dried for winter use. Ye3, the right kind of garden is a life saver, and we all need a life-saver of this kind in 1922." FLAT ROCK, ROUTE 1.
