Signs Suggesting Maximum Speed On Curves Erected As Experiment — i r *• f ' * '' 4 l V '- ’ - L *

I Stem, deaignat mg safe ouxmium ■ speeds for curve* under normal driving condition*. are bring erect >d along Road 37 between Indianapell* and Paoli by the State Highway Commission aa an cxptriMivnt In creating water driving on th* ntate highway system. j The sign* are being placed in the I ope that motor lata, knowing In ad-, vance th'- maximum speed at which ' a curve can bn driven with aaloty. will regulatn bin spend accordingly. The Highway Cumml*sion doe* not intend that these signa avggrstIng reasonable speed on curves, hr considered a speed limit marking* although results of the survey which will be made, may lead to scene future rcgula'ibu of this type. The hb-nnie section of lined 37 betweM Indianapolis and Paoli was selected for the experiment due to the heavy volume of passenger I and truck traffic which II carries and the number of curves encounter ud by Hut motorist. It is cgtimat-' «d by traffic engineers that there is an average of two curves per uulu |

STALLION LAW IS A SUCCESS ’*Fake Registry Associations" Killed By Stallion Law — — Lafayet'er. lad.. Meh — Tbs year I*3B marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ena< tment of th* stallion enrollment tew. which, among many things, has brought i death to "take registry assocteI ttona’’ and a decrease In tbe use of scrub stalllims and jacks, sc I cordlnk to the annual report of Prof R B. Cooley. Purdue University. secretary of tha Indiana ' stallion enrollment board. Previous to 1813. when the law { was paaacd by the Indiana general asM-mbly. there were many ao-call- . ed registered stallions recorded in “fake registry associations." Cooley points out During one year. 180 “take certiflcatea" were examined and rejected by tbe enrollment board. Furthermore. Cooley adds, there were many other stallions of ordinary scrub breeding, being offer<-d tor public service. Farmer mare owners, for the moat part, had uo ratable and dependable guide about the Stallone being offered to him for breeding service, regarding whether or not they were pure bred*, grades, or cruba. Another condition that existed at that time was the unsound and unhealthy stallion* and jacks being offered a* sound and healthy for breeding purposes. Moat farmers. being poorly Informed on this matter, were often misled by fraudulent representations. Other states already had Stallion Enrollment Laws and Indiana was becoming a dumping ground for Inferior staßI ions discarded from the other states. In I*l2 these condition* were recognised by Indiana's leading horsemen, including the Indiana draft horse breeders' association membership, aa requiring legislative action for safeguarding and encouraging the horse and mule breeding work of the state. In 1913 the Indiana stallion enrollment law was passed, effective January I, 1911 During tbe first seven years tbe law was enforced, grade and scrub stallions decreased from 2394 to 473. By amendment of tbe enrollment law. tbe enrollment of grades and scrubs was discontinued in 1921. A great many stallions aud packs officially inspected by licensed veterinarian*, and found to be unsound and unhealthy for public service, have been removed from service. Imiiaua now hold* an enviable position in regard to the quality and value of horses for farm work and show purposes. Cooley says No other state has made more Improvements during the last 30 year*. Some of the best breeding establishmenis to be found anywhere In the country ar* located in Indiana. Farmers interested- in improving their stock may consider themselves fortunate In having so many meritorious sires available for breeding service. BEAN MEAL IS GOOD HOG FEED Illinois Expert Says Soybean Meal Costs Less Than Tankage Urbana. HI.. March t? — With soybean meal coating less than half aa ninth as tankage, many farmers this year will add larger amount* of noybean meal to their ration*, say* E T.
