Lectures on Marketing at Columbia 
University 
Beginning on February 7 there will be 
at Columbia University, New York, in 
the Department of Agriculture, a series 
of lectures on food marketing problems. 
These lectures are given from 4 :10 until 
5 o’clock on Tuesday and Friday. The 
topics are some basic considerations re¬ 
garding volumes, sources and seasonal 
nature of New York City's food supply. 
The remaining eight lectures are on the 
middleman system, etc. Prof. Asher 
Hobson, who will give the series, has sev¬ 
eral of his lectures illustrated by lantern 
slides. For three years he was commis¬ 
sioner of markets for the State of Wash¬ 
ington ; for 1V 2 years he was associated 
with the United Stabs Department of 
Agriculture under Dr. Henry C. Taylor 
in the Office of Farm Management and 
Markets and Crops; has studied the 
problem of the metropolitan district for 
a year and a half; is collaborating now 
with the United States Department of 
Agriculture in marketing studies; at the 
recent farm conference in Washington 
was secretary of the Committee on Mar¬ 
keting of Farm Products, and is Asso¬ 
ciate Professor of Marketing in the 
School of Business at Columbia Uni¬ 
versity. Full particulars may be had 
from the secretary of Columbia Univer¬ 
sity, New York. 
Concrete Work in Winter 
T am seeking information on the sub¬ 
ject of concrete work in Winter. Can 
this be done with safety by using salt, 
and in what quantity for a cellar wall 
10 in. at bottom and 0 in. at top. 
Hensonville, N. Y\ C. n. M. 
Concrete work can be carried on suc¬ 
cessfully in cold weather, provided the 
temperature can be kept above freezing. 
A cement which early develops a high 
tensile strength should be used, and the 
aggregate (sand and gravel) should be 
of the best quality, so thav every oppor- 
unity is given for the concrete to harden 
after placing. The materials entering the 
concrete should he heated before mixing. 
This can he done oni small jobs by using 
a sheet of old boiler plate or similar ma¬ 
terial placed upon stones. A lire is built 
under this, atul the sand and stone heated 
on top of it before mixing. The water 
also is warmed to temperature of 100 to 
120 degrees F. This make- a warm mix¬ 
ture, and if quickly placed in the forms 
and protected by straw, old newspapers, 
canvas, and blankets, the heat contained 
can be conserved and the temperature 
kept above freezing until hardening has 
taken place. This method of placing con¬ 
crete in Winter is usually satisfactory for 
moderate temperatures, say around 28 
degrees F. 
Where (here is likelihood of the tem¬ 
perature going lower than this, salt is 
sometimes added to the mixture to lower 
tint freezing point of the water, which is 
ordinarily .‘>2 degrees F. Taylor and 
Thompson recommend (hi' use of salt at 
the rate of 2 lbs per sack of cement, 
increasing this to 2 lb. if i 1 is found that 
the surface is scaling. They also state 
that the easiest and best way of adding 
this salt is to mix it with the water used. 
Ordinarily about .’13 lbs. of water will lie 
required for a sack of cement when mak¬ 
ing up a quaking mixture of 1 :2V, :5 
concrete, add by a few trials the exact 
quantity of water and salt can he deter¬ 
mined to get the proportion of salt de¬ 
sired. The effect of the sa'f seems to be 
the lessening of the strength of the con¬ 
crete which has set for short periods, the 
strength gradually increasing as the con¬ 
crete age’s. Concrete treated with salt 
should have protection as well as that 
laid without the salt mixture, of course.
