Cement HIGHWAY
FOR THE NATION
CoIoradoan Evolves Good Roads
Plan Costing $50,00o,o0o.
GOVERNMENT PAYS oNE.AALF

States to Pay Remainder and Denver
to Be Radius With Roads to Great
Lakes, Gulf Of Mexico and Pacific
oeean-Rsduetion Of Railroad Rates
One Benefit,
A system of national highways ra-
dating from Denver to the ports on
the great lakes, the gulf Of Mexico and
the Pacific seaports Of San Francisco,
Los Angeles and Seattle is the plan
outlined by J. Brisben Walker, presi-
dent Of the Transcontinental Highway
association, before the Colorado con-
servation commission recently.
By the building of such u system Of
highways, says Mr.. Walker. the cost of
freight and passenger transportation
on existing railway systems would be
cut in two through competition.
The conservation commission unani-
mously Endorsed Mr.. Walkers plan and
passed a resolution urging the national
legislature to take favorable action
upon 1t.
The highways are to be built of &C.
ment, asphalt or other durable ma
terial, one-half Of the cost to be borne
by the government because Of the
value Of the highways for military
purposes and one-half to be borne by
the states traversed by the highways.
These states include Texas, Oklahoma,
Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon, California, Arizo-
ma and Utah.
Five Thousand Miles For $5o000000.
As to cost, Mr.. Walker figures that
5000 miles Of highway could he built
for $5OOOO,OO0. This is for the first
strip twenty feet wide. With the gov
eminent paying half this would leave
$25,O0OO00 to be divided among SIX
teen states, an average Of $1,500,00O
each. Paid for in thirty year 5 per
cent bonds this would be no burden,
MI. Walker says. Eventually the first
strip would be widened until separate
thoroughfares were provided for
freight and passenger traffic.
To show how passenger fares would
be cut Mr.. Walker takes as a basis
4 ninety mile highway between New
York and Philadelphia on which twen-
ty passenger touring cars are operat-
ed. In this connection he says:
Those familiar with automobile build.
ing would place the cost Of a six
cylinder twenty passenger car, If sold
in large numbers, at $4,000. 1t would
be very reasonable estimate to place
the life Of the car. making a round
trip daily, at one and one-half years.
547 round trips. or 1904 single trips,
which would bring the cost Of car to
$182 per trip. For so short life re-
pairs need not be estimated at over
1882 per year, or 80 cents day. This
would give the following:

USE OF FERTILIZERS

BY F. II. Demaree. Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
Much Missouri land would be great
ly benefited, especially for wheat or
oats, by the use OF some appropriate
commercial fertilizer. There have been
several false ideas about the use Of
fertilizers, and many farmers are still
prejudiced against them,
A common idea is that fertilizers
will increase the crops for a short
time, but will soon cause the land to
wear out and become worthless. This
idea has been brought about by i'm
proper methods. No farmer should
attempt to maintain the fertility Of his
soil by the use Of commercial f%ertiliz.
ers without crop rotation, hauling out
of manure and these fundamental
practices. II would be impossible to
do SO. and would be very expensive to
try.
Some Of the most profitable farms
in the country use large amounts OF
fertilizers, not to cause the land ia
produce ordinary RODS. but to increase

The following suggestions are given
by f. H. Demaree, assistant professor
OF agronomy in the Missouri College
of Agriculture, concerning the use Of
fertilizers with wheat:
No rules can be laid down for deter
mining whether or not fertilizer will
pay on q given farm The problem Is
an individual one, and while some
parts of the state need more than 9th
ers, each farm has a different require
ment.
On badly worn lands, the most
remunerative fertilizer application for
wheat will usuallY b. enc Of the com

which is available It's cost Is around
SIT a ton. while the steamed bone

Acid phosphate has 3 tendency tc
cause the land to become soul with
continued use, and especially on lands
where lime is already beginning to be
needed Its long continued use is moi
so desirable as that Of the bone meals
The bone meals also have a more last
ing effect. due to the large amount
Of phosphorus which they contain in ,
more or less insoluble form. Theil
use is to be recommended In prefer
ence to the acid phosphate
These general recommendations re
garding wheat fertilization will apply
to most of the lands Of medium to
poor fertility in Missouri where wheat
is grown, When the wheat plants
grow up well and make a strong straw
but mature very little grain, the indi
cations are that an application Of com
mercial fertilizer will pay.

IMPROVING DAIRY HERD
Weigh the Mix and Keep Records

Weigh the Milk and Keep Records
BY A. C. Page, University Of Missouri
College of Agriculture
There is 40 profit and very little
pleasure in keeping a herd of scruL
dairy cows. Perhaps some men are 81
full Of the enthusiasm of dairying that
they enjoy milking early and late ano
missing all Of the p%icnics and reunions
to stay with the COWS. But such met
are exceptions. Most farmers WOULD
rather make a little profit from the
herd.
The average cows of the country.
however, do not pay a profit. Some OF
them-about one-third-are an actual
loss. Only a few COWS, comparatively
really pay a respectable profit, Out Of
every herd. if about one-third of the
cows were taken by themselves, they
would pay as much as the whole herd
put together.
This is not mere guesswork. EXten.
sive Investigations have proved that
on the average it is true. The farmer
is likely to be deceived by a COW
Many COWS give a bucketful of milk
for the first few weeks and then begin
to drop off until at the end of six
months they are dry. They wouldn't
show up well if yearly records were
kept on them
No herd is so good that it cannot be
improved. Most herds are so poor
that they are sadly in need of improve.

to throw out the poor COWS and keen
the profitable ones However, to know
which COWS belong in the two classes

other sure way Of picking out good

The most practical way to get &C

DATA WHICH PROVES THAT THE
MOST FOOD MATERIAL is SAVEL
IF THE CORN is CUT IN THE
GLAZED STAGE FOR STLAGE.

MOST FOOD MATERIAL is SAVEL
IF THE CORN is CUT IN THE
GLAZED STAGE FOR SILAGE.
silo these sugars turned TO acids. Thus
the silage became too sour for the
best results in feeding. 1t was toe
much like pickles. Furthermore, as
will be shown in the diagram, there
was a less amount of food material in
the plant at this time than later.
AS sllage was cut later it was found
to keep well and produce sweeter and
better silage. Some new difficulties
were encountered. This corn cut
later contained less water and did no,
pack so well in the silo. Air spaces
were left and in these molds grew and
caused decay.
This dificulty, however. has been
largely overcome by the use of water
on the silage as it is put in. This
helps it to pack well. 1t should also
be constantly tramped to fill up all
possible air spaces.
The rule for cutting silage nov is
to take 1t when the kernels are
glazed. There are two main rea
sons for this. One is that the silage
will thus be sweeter and more palata.
BILE, The other reason is well illus
trated in the accompanying diagram
1t will be seer that there is a great
increase in the nutrients IS the corn
passes from the milk" to the glazed
stage.
With silage cut at this time, the
tramping is an important factor in the
keeping. 1t is lighter and tends to be
loosen. Most of the tramping should
be around the edge of the silo, for it
is here that the air spaces tend to
form.
1t is the practice of some farmers to
dump several barrels Of water over
the top of the silage after it is all in.
If plenty of water has been added
from time to time all during the fill
ing, and it has been thoroughly
tramped, this would scarcely seem
necessary.
In a very few days the top six
inches of the silage will have fer.
mented and formed a solid coat over
the rest, ard the silo will then be
sealed practically alright until this
coating is broken. This year, when It
is likely that forage will be very
scarce, this top layer may be saved
J BY using straw instead. Mr.. Demaree
agronomist of the Missouri Expert
ment station, advises that straw be
run through the cutter after the silage
is all in, and packed down, thoroughly
wet and tramped again until there is a
solid layer about eight to twelve
inches thick. This will seal up the
top and save practically all of the
corn.
Inquiries have been received as to
whether or not silage will keep salts
factorily if the silo is only half filed.
There is no reason why it will not
keep well if thoroughly tramped in.
The use of the straw covering will
likely be advisable as a matter of
economy
