MORAL ASPECT OF GOOD ROADS
Henry Wallace Says We Must Get Practical Christianity
Into the Making of Them
Christianity

ito keep his half-mile road smooth each
year. The simple question Is whether
he will forget about his road taxes and
do this without asking anybody for any
pay, but as a service done 10 the pubf1c.
or whether he will sit back and say.
II have paid somebody else for doing
II, and let them do 1t or let 1t go I'M
DONE"
AS a matter of fact. it will go un-
done unless the farmer or landowner
has this public spirit that will induce
him to do it without remuneration
The railroads, the elevator men and
the town merchants are quick to ses
the value of these good roads They
know very well that there is just q
certain amount Of business to be done
In any community; In other words, Just
certain amount OF farmers wants to
be supplied, so much gram and live
stock to market, and so many goods to
be bought.
They see perfectly clearly that while
the farmer may be Indifferent about the
road in front Of his farm, he is not in
different about the roads between his
farm and town.
Where. for example. there are two
towns ten miles apart which are com
peting for the farmers trade the ner-
chants see that If they can get the
roads put in frst-class shape the fnrn~
ers who are nearest the next town win
haul their stuff mile farther in order
that they have the advantage OF the
good road.
They want to enlarge their TERRITORY
as much as possible, and they see yerv
quickly tina the best way they can do
it is to make the roads leading to their
town the very best possible.
The towns that start In now will
have the advance OF towns that have
not awakened to the situation, and by
giving their new customers the right
treatment they will hold and maintain
this trade for some time to come.
If the farmer were wise he would see
that IL is to his interest to have the
roads good to both towns. so tina he
could go to one quite as well as the
other, and stay with the one that treats
him best.
It is quite possible to make in ona
year q good beginning at the solution
of this problem. which has vexetI US
ever since the west was opened up, but
the greatest obstacle in the way OF It Ia
this feeling on the part OF farmers that
they have paid f. doing the thing, ana
why should thsy now turn around and
do 1t themselves?
They do not seem to understand that
II they would adopt this simple method
Of keeping the roads smooth one year
without money and without price, 1t
would not be necessary to levy road
taxes In the future except for drainage.
bridges and culverts, and this, In many
counties in the west, would cut the road
tax somewhere in two and save a two
mill levy.
| Turn the question around and lock at
1t from this way. and If you will not
look at it from the standpoint of pablo
spirit and applied Christianity, take a
good square look at it from the point of
future savings.

The greatest difficulty in securing
good dirt roads is not IN the cost OF
the drag which we are recommending,
for that is merely nominal. nor the time
required to operate 1t, but a moral
difficulty; we came very near saying
an immoral one. A great many farm
ers look upon the subject in this way:
They say they have paid their taxes
in cash, as the law requires, and 1t Is
the business Of the trustees to see that IT
is expended properly. 1t is the busi-
ness OF the road supervisor or con-
tractor to do the work under the direc-
ton of the trustees, and having done
this, why should they go to the trouble
Of smoothing up the roads along their
farms7
They do not intend to do something
for nothing. The responsibility is not
on them. It is on the men to whom they
have furnished the money to do this
work. and they do not propose to do 1t
This Is especially the case with re-
tired farmer. He Is q little disgruntled.
anyhow Heretofore in leasing his lands
he has compelled the renter to work out
all the road tax except that which is
specifically payable In cash. The new
law comes in and says II must all be
paid In cash.
The renter says this is part Of the
taxes and he does not have to pay 1t;
II Is the part OF the landlord to pay his
taxes and he is not going to help him
out
This Is the hardest proposition we
are UP against, and the only way. which
we know that 1t can be removed is TO
develop a different code Of ethics among
farmers; In other words, to get a little
practical-applied Christianity into this
road business. The disciples of Christ
were a good deal In the position of the
average farmer; they wanted first to
get the most there was In 1t for them
selves, hence they were constantly scrap
ping among themselves as to which
should have the highest honor in the
temporal kingdom which they believed
until the last that Jesus was about to
establish.
He laid down this law for our guidance
and by which to measure character. He
that is gratest among you, let him do
the most service" He never said word
to them about standing up for their
rights, but He had a great deal to say
to them about their duties.
Now, IL we could get the farmers In
sections where this good roads train has
visited to quit thinking about the money
that they have paid for taxes and think
about the duty to themselves as well as
to their neighbors and the whole COM
munity of having a good, smooth road
in front OF their farms, we could solve
this good roads problem, in those locali-
ties at least, within the short space OF
one year.
It will cost the farmer with half
mile road from 70 cents to s. for a
drag; probably rs cents worth OF labor
where he has log which he can split
up, or perhaps 50 in labor and lumber
where he has to buy the lumber.
It will cost him more than $l-50 In
labor which would otherwise be wasted

To increase the profits from our herds
or decrease the cost of production, we
must eliminate the cows which individ-
ually run us into debt.
In the second place, we must feed
our cows more lntelligently. The feed
ing of a dairy herd to produce prof1ts
more economically is hard proposition
to put to a man at the present time
Under the present conditions the only
way to produce butter fat at less cost
than we did last year is by increasing
the efficiency of our homegrown dairy
foods.
The feeding value of our homegrown
foods will depend largely upon their
palatability. BY feeding variety of
foods we make our rations more appe-
tizing and palatable than q few foods.
Ensilage and roots are more palatable
than dry folders Cows that are fed
these appetizing foods with clover hay
viii eat more hay than when confined TO
clover alone.
Early cut hay is more suited to the
ration than late cut hay, and the cows
will consume larger quantities OF 1t. In
feeding homegrown foods we must feed
such foods in a practical way that Will
induce the cows to eat more.
The more easily digested the ration
the larger the milk flow. A certain
amount OF energy is required to prepare
these foods for assimilation. In feeding
coarse foods we find this is large per
centage.
Tender pasture grass is more easily d.
gested than dry folders. Again we see
that succulent foods are more easily d.
gested than dry folders; that early
cut hay is more easily digested than late
cut hay and that grain and concentrates
are more easily digested than hay and
coarse folders.
We can make a balanced ration from
corn ensilage and alfalfa hay. but such
ration contains an excess Of coarse fiber
and requires too great an expenditure
of energy to digest and assimilate 1t.
Such a ration may be greatly improved
by the addition of a few pounds OF con-
centrates.
Cows that are giving milk must have
an abundance OF protein. The more pro-
tein we feed up to certain point, the
larger the milk now 1t is the amount
of food over and above that required to
maintain the body that goes to stimulate
the milk production.
The German standard OF feeding calls
for one and one-quarter pounds of pro-
tein for every ten or twelve pounds Of
milk.
Another principle is that feeding con-
centrates rich in nitrogen and mineral
matter increases the value Of the manure
and much of the profits from high feed
ing must be made through the fertility
