Book Of the United States, the
1918 edition of which has just been issued,
containing resume of the whole ROAD
| situation. 1t is evident that Whatever
may be the faults in methods OF con-
struction and maintenance, money Is De-
ing spent in sufficient amount to bring
about a vast improvement in the pubic
roads. The Year Book shows $1SI.OoO.Coo
of state and road bonds authorized. ana
$156, 10000 of county bonds outstanding
on January 1, 1913 making total OF
sos, 100000. AS this is based on reports
| from about Is per cent Of the counties In
| the United States, and as large num-
Der of the individual townships have not
reported it is estimated that the amounts
not reported would run the aggregate up
to probably $35O.0O0,O0O. to which should
be added ten or fifteen million dollars OF
the bonds voted in 1912 which have not
yet been issued.
| Gratifying progress in road construc-
| ton during the past few years is indi-
| Gated by the statement that while the
percentage of al road Improvement IN
| the United States at the close OF 1913
was S66 per cent the revised statistics
to December 81, 1911, show an improved
mileage of 1O.1 per cent or net gain of
| IA per cent. This does not sound so inn
pressive in terms of percentage, but it
means that in the two-year period more
than $4,000 miles of improved roads were
constructed, or 10000 miles more than
the entire mileage of national roads in
France.

An Odd Sight.
One of the oldest sights in Europe may
be Witnessed in the little city of Odder.
Denmark There are 1900 people dwell
ing there, but they have never relaxed
from their earliest declaration-namely,
never to permit the driving OF an auto
mobile through the streets. Conse-
uuently, man in business suit and a
soft hat rides astride a black horse
which draws the motor car through the
town. The operation affords great fun
for the children. who pile into the auto
mobile. even sitting on the laps OF the
chauffeur and occupants. A heavy fine
attaches to any person attempting to vio-
late the ordinance.

sIIO IS SALVATION OF
THE KANSAS FARMER

Topeka, Aug. 9.--Conditions this
year will demonstrate that the silo
Is the salvation of the Kansas farm
err during a dry season, according
TO Charles NJ. Sawyer, state bank
commissioner, who spent a couple
of days this week with the ROCK
Island silo train on its trip through
Kansas. Where farmers and stock
raisers are unable to build concrete
or steel sllos, he urges the building
of the underground silos, which he
declared can be built at a cost OF
from $40 to $50, not counting the
farmers Tabor.
"A silo of this kind" said Saw
yer. twill hold from rs to $50 tons
of feed and will pay for itself many
times over the first season 1t is In
use. One of these silos will last ten
or fifteen years and will prove in
valuable to the farmers, especially
during a dry season, such as this
year has been.
"The supply OF cattle in Kansas
is already deficientT continued
Sawyer. "But with the increased
number of silos which will be built
in Kansas in the next year or two,
there is no reason why farmer
cannot handle more stock than he
does at the present time and under
the present method of putting up
his rough feed. Reports which
have been received from over the
state indicate that in many coun-
ties the farmers are Slready cutting
their corn and storing the green
stalks in the silos. This will make
excellent feed for next winter and
where farmer is able to thus care
for the green forage, his seasons
work will in no manner be wasted.
In my opinion the silo is the saliva
ton of the Kansas farmer in sea-
son such as the state is now ex-
periencing."
