A small story and a half house or
cottage of five rooms is shown in this
plan. 1t is twenty-five feet six inches
wide by thirty feet in length, and may
be built with or without a cellar or
plumbing. However, at the time of
building cellar under a small house
like this does not cost a great deal,
and no modern house these days
should be built without water and gas
pipes and electric wiring.
Gas is being carried in pipes along
thickly settled roads in the country.
Almost every village having an enter.
prising population has gas plant, and
many homes have private plants of

rapidly Of late that 1t is not necessary
for any person, no matter how remote
from large cities, to do without this
wonderful modern convenience in
housekeeping.
You can have good satisfactory
water supply both upstairs and down
by simply putting good force pump
in the well, or cistern, with little
piping and with tank sufficient for
the days supply. You car have a
more elaborate system for more mon
ey, but the point ! wish to make is
that no one need do without a water

usually begin to cross about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and reach the maxi.
mum between 5 and o'clock. On
cool days the movement begins
earlier. A few bugs are sure to get
across the barrier and infest the adj
jacent fields. These may be destroyed
by soap spray of eight pounds of
laundry soap dissolved in 80 gallons
of water, or by flaming the infested
plants with the gasoline torch. The
methods described have been very
effective on the college farm.
During recent years numerous tests
have been made with the fungous dis
ease which destroys chinch bugs and
other insects in large numbers every
year. The results seem to indicate
that this disease is only effective
when the climatic conditions are right.
The experts at the agricultural col
lege recommend that farmers do not
attempt to introduce this fungous into
their fields.

by listing a deep furrow and then
dragging with heavy log. The bugs
fall into these burrows when they pass
from one field to another and may be
destroyed by gasoline torch or by
dragging a log through the burrows.
The torch is more effective.
The road.oil barrier is constructed
by blowing sharp back furrow be-
tween the fields and working up a
ridge on this by dragging a trough
over it. On the bottom of the trough
a pole is placed which will leave a
groove on top of the compact ridge.
No. 7 road.oil is placed in this groove
in sufficient quantity to make a line
one-half to three-fourths of an inch
wide. After the bugs have fallen into
the groove they may be destroyed by
the gasoline torch. Coal tar can be
substituted for road-oil but it is more
expensive and must be renewed more
frequently. The road-oil barrier is
for use in wet weather when the dust
barrier is useless. 1t should be placed
between the dust barrier and the non
infested fields.
The migration Of chinch bugs from
wheat to corn fields usually lasts from
one to two weeks, and during this
time should be stationed with
torches along the barriers at the time

NATIONAL AID FOR THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
LBy W. s. Gearhart, State Highway Engineerl

In general, can see very little JUS
tification for national aid for high
ways, except the following:
"a 1t would encourage states that
have not heretofore taken part in the
movement to enter upon highway con-
struction.
(2) 1t would create a coherent sys-
TEN of through travelled roads, of in
terest not only to the states individ-
ually, but to adjoining states, and pos
sibly in some few cases, to several
states,
go 1t would distribute the cost
in such way that construction might
be encouraged because the cost was
not all paid directly.
"a 1t would standardize highway
construction If an efficient national
commission were formed, and would
lead to better and more uniform con-
struction.
Too many persons favor national
aid because it seems to give some
thing for nothing, and not because
the scheme they suggest is equitable,
or because more economical results
will be obtained. 1t has seldom been
found that the expenditures of spe-
cial appropriations under government
auspices has been actually economical
or that their distribution has been
based on fairness or equity.
l have no sympathy with the idea
of national aid for highways in the
form of Jackpot" for political dis
tribution (such as the Rivers and Har-
bors and Public Buildings appropria-
tions), as it seemingly commonly de-
manded, and do not believe that the
cost of these highways will be any
less because the cost is collected in
directly by the general government.

those who get the benefits should pay
the larger share of the cost, and be-

These should be put into force be-
fore the early crops have matured.
After the bugs have once entered the
small grain fields there is no way to
prevent injury, but it is entirely pos
sible to keep them from passing into
the corn, kafir and sorghum.
The dust barrier and the road-oil
barrier are methods commonly used
to destroy the bugs. The first is use
full in dry weather and the latter
when the soil is wet. A dust barrier
is made by blowing a strip of ground
about ten feet wide between the liz
tested and the non-infested fields and

are about a hundred years behind the

time for farming communities to wake
up to the demand of modern civiliza-
tion.
Houses built after this design look
very well when made of cement. and
it often happens that cement house
can be built in a village or country
place as cheaply or cheaper than wood.
When sand and broken stone can be
easily gotten together the cost of mix

in the mold is often less than the car

The plea often made that automo-
biles from other states pass through
certain states to the detriment OF
their highways is not an effective
plea to the thinking man, since au'
tomobiles passing through a state
leave much more money behind than
they destroy in the value of road sur
facings, and it is felt that each state,
as a general proposition, should be
willing to build its roads so that tour
list traffic would be encouraged Ma
tional aid would, however, produce a
quickening of this construction on
the main lines, and without doubt
would be of value in this regard.

leaving out all unnecessary furbelows
that cost extra without giving proper

Such houses are very much in de-

build houses like this and place them
