w. Page. director Of the United
States office of public roads and presi-.
dent of the new American Association
for Highway Improvement, asserts
that the United States suffers a direct
loss of $40, 900, 900 annually on account
of incorrect and inadequate methods
in the construction, maintenance and
administration Of public roads. ~
This enormous loss is nothing com
pared with the indirect loss, through
excessive cost of transportation,
which is caused by the burden which
bad roads impose upon the farmers
and others who use the highways, and
this amount, according to MI. Pages
report, reaches the impressive total Of
$3.50, 100000 every veal.
The American farmer: is paying two
or three times as much to get his
products to market as the man who
tills the ground in Europe, and this
added cost OF transportation is known
to be an important factor in the high
cost Of living problem. Road experts

DUKE IS TO GOVERN CANADA

1t is officially announced that the
duke Of Connaught will succeed Earl
Grey in September as governor gen
eral of Canada. He will hold the ap-
pointment for two years n that Pc

The announcement that the duke
of Connaught will be the next COVER
nor general of the Dominion was re-
ceived in Ottawa with great satisfac-
ton. Aside from his general popular
ity throughout the empire, it is felt
that the presence of SO distinguished
a member of the royal family at OF

cal and social Importance than 1t ever
has had.
The duke of Connaught is h only

ing conditions this is true over large
regions that generation or two ago
produced no apples. Generally speak
ing 1t has been found that the apple
is introduced into regions of new con-
ditions only as new varieties have
been created to suit those conditions.
Practically all Of the apples grown in
the eastern states today are OF varie-
ties that were created there. and the
same condition is being found true in
the northwest. Aside from the Russian
apples that were created under condi-
lions similar to our own the only pos

sible apples with us are those like
the Lyman's Prolific, Wealthy, Pat.
tens Greening, etc., apples that orig
mated in the northwest.
While the development of new va
rieties is thing apart from apple
culture as generally understood, yet in
a new country where apple growing is
more or less uncertain because of the
absence of thoroughly hardy varieties
all who are interested in the develop
ment of the apple industry will be
planting apple seeds from time to
time. In ten years most of the trees
thus produced will be bearing fruit.

pies, many of them of high quality.
all grown from apple seeds planted
ten years ago.
At the same time. it is possible to &C.
complish something with the varieties
in existence. Crabs and hybrids of
the following varieties have been
found suitable for growing in the
northwest: Virginia, Whitney, Early
Strawberry, Minnesota, Gideon No. 6.
Florence and Lyman's Prolific.
Among apples suited for the same
region are the Duchess. Hibernal,
Charlamoff, Patterns Greening,
Wealthy and Malinda.

them in broad trench made with 3
plow.
Clean cultivation for apple orchards
is undoubtedly the best, especially in
dry country. In very wet seasons
bushel of oats to the acre may be
sowed upon the land late in July and
narrowed in. These will help the
trees to ripen their wood and will af.
ford protection in winter. They will
not greatly interfere with cultivation
the following spring. The apple
blight must be guarded against and
when twigs or branches turn brown
and die, usually in June, they must be
cut off and burned.
1t is found best not to trim apple
trees much in regions like our own.
but rather to let the head grow dense
and compact to protect the trunk and
larger limbs. The lines of successful
apple culture has moved toward the
northwest so rapidly during the past
twenty-five years that North Dakota
also has something more than rea,
sonable hope for future success.

Lebanon, Ind.-"The manner In
which the pastors of many of the
churches in rural communities and
small towns have to exc out misera-
BILE existences on the pitiable salaries
given them, is disgrace to Christian
ity, reproach to American civiliza-
ton and a reflection upon present
day church government" declares
Rev. E. T. Greenleaf, who recently
resigned the pastorate of the Leban-
on circuit Of three rural Methodist
Protestant churches, because, in view
of the present high cost of living, the
salary was not sufficient to provide
an adequate living for his family,
and who, because Of the publication
Of the reasons for his resignation, was
left by the conference without an ap-
pointment for the ensuing year.
THE business world today does not
know the conditions surrounding the
financial affairs of the ministry" con-
tinued Rev. Mr.. Greenleaf The
church itself covers up the matter
because If the truth became known
the whole religious institution would
be shamed. The ministers them
selves suppress the facts because of
their fear that the pulpits of churches
would be closed to them In the future
or because Of belief that the money
mad world would charge them with
being mercenary If they should de-
mand more pay. 1t is time the facts
became known.

munities and small towns do not
grow appreciably larger as the years
go by. On the other hand, the preach

cessions. The local merchants are
gradually abolishing the old-time
complimentary methods of selling
goods to ministers. All of the other
avenues of outside help are becoming
more and more clogged, until they
will soon be closed entirely. The
calls upon the minister's purse are
not lessening in number or insistence.
He is considered legitimate and easy
prey by many PERSONS, members of
his own flock inc:Hded. While all this
is true, the cost of living is steadily
mounting higher and the salary that
several years ago might have been
ample to provide living is no longer
sufficient.
mo matter how small his salary,
whether it is barely sufficient to keep
him and his family from starvation,
or not, the minister must wear good
clothing and dress his family we'll, be-
cause the pride of the congregation
demands it. What shame it is that
this Christian pride does not extend
to the point that the parishioners are
Wiling to pay their pastor salary suf-
ticient to enable him to dress as he
should without sacrificing his own or
his family's physical well being in so
doing.
Ministers belong to the noblest
profession on earth. They deserve
better treatment than they are re-.
ceiving. They are not beggars. In
the very nature of their profession
they cannot be and probably to that
fact is due the disposition OF churches
to pay them the least salary possible.

College grounds. It is set so that It
throws the soil toward the center of
the road. This photograph was taken
a few days after heavy rains. No ruts
were found as. the road being high in
the middle, there was no place for wa
ter to stand and make soft places. This
drag can be made of wood, facing the
cutting edges with iron.
Notice the crown in the road or the
raise in the center, that is one of the
most important principles in road ma
king. AS soon as place is left where
water can collect ruts will form and a
poor road results.
Where there are ruts, there will be
dust as when the Jumps are broken
up they will be powdered. A road as
shown above develops very little dust
as there is nothing to be ground up.
In making and repairing roads the
first thing to watch is that the road
bed is kept SO that water can not
stand on it.
