Plans Are Outlined.
Few persons realize, perhaps, how
great an effect a difference in the pro-
portion of water can have in the mix-
ing of concrete. There are many who
do not realize that for each pint of
unnecessary water added to a concrete
mixture the strength of the finished
concrete may be decreased as much as
if two pounds of portland cement had
been left out
The best concrete mixture is that
which is as stiff as can be mixed con-
veniently. Even this will not be of

obtained, but a mixture of maximum
strength would not be practicable for
general construction purposes, as it
would be too stiff to be worked. But
a mixture of the stiffest consistency
that can be worked will give 70 to
90 per cent of the maximum strength.
The' following table shows how too
much or too little water detracts from
the strength of concrete by wasting
the strength of the cement:

To apply the slump test, estimate
the minimum slump that you can use
and still obtain the necessary consist-
ency in the concrete. Test the hatches
frequently to check the slump and in-
crease or decrease the quantity of wa-
ter accordingly.
Consistency of concrete mixtures is
easily measured and regulated by the
slump test.
The only apparatus needed in mak-
ing the slump test is a %-inch point-
ed metal rod 21 inches long and
a piece of sheet metal for a formt
rolled into the shape of the frustum of
a cone as shown in the accompanying
diagram. The form can be cut from
a piece of metal 15 inches ' wide, 26
inches long, and not less than 20
gauge. When finished it will be 12
inches high, 4 inches
the top and 8 inches
the bottom.
Fill this form with
be tested, placing it in layers about 4
inches deep and working it with the
pointed metal rod. Each layer should
be rodded exactly 30 times. Lift off the
form immediately and measure the set-
tlement or slump of the concrete.
Concrete having a slump of % inch
will contain only a little more water
than necessary for maximum strength,
but will be too stiff for most construc-
tion work. Concrete containing 10 per
cent more water than is required for
greatest strength will give a slump of
3 to 4 inches; 25 per cent excess water
gives a slump of 6 to 7 inches; 50 per
cent excess water gives a slump of
8 to 10 inches.
Mass concrete, such as is used for
heavy foundation work, should not
slump to exceed 2 inches. Reinforced
concrete such as walls- should not
slump more than 6
roads when finished
not have more than
while cement mortar
should not have a greater slump thap
2 inches.

of Agriculture.)
Federal grades for alfalfa are con-
templated in investigational work now
being done by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Preliminary
studies in co-operation with state ex-
periment stations the past few months
have included the collating of all data
obtainable on the relative weight and
feeding value of leaves and stems, rela-
tive feeding value of different cut-
tings at various stages of maturity,
losses due to leaching, mechanical
losses incurred in curing and the
results of feeding experiments with
stack sweated and stack burned al-
falfa. Studies have also been made
of the relative Importance of alfalfa
production in different parts of the
United States and of the volume of re-
ceipts in various markets.
A number of bales of alfalfa hay
have been obtained at various points
in the West by the Kansas City office
of the hay, feed and seed division of
the department, and forwarded to the
department’s hay laboratory at Wash-
ington. Detailed studies of these bales
are being made to determine statis-
tical facts regarding color, texture,
leafiness and foreign material as grad-
ing factors.
During the coming summer repre-
sentatives of the department will visit
the principal alfalfa markets and pro-
ducing areas to make a thorough sur-
hvey of existing grades and marketing
practices to secure additional samples.

Kansas Farmers Organize
400-Bushel Potato Club
According to the Kansas Industrial-
ist, the Kansas State Agricultural col-
lege is sponsoring an organization,
membership in which Is restricted to
those farmers who shall grow 400 bush-
els or more of potatoes on an acre of
land. This is believed to be the second
“Four Hundred Bushel Potato” club
organized in this country, the other
being the club that already has a
year or more of successful experience
behind it in Pennsylvania.
The ever-growing list of state
“Corn,” “Wheat” and “Potato” clubs
is tangible evidence of the rapidly
widening conviction in the necessitj’
for stimulating interest in higher rates
of yield as being perhaps the most
practicable means of reducing produc-
tion cost and insuring a fair profit to
the grower.
