CUMBERL AND ROAD

that some time the United States gov

ment TO improve the historic trails
making II great national highway from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The move

national transContincntal highway the
celebrated old Cumberland road. built
by the United States century ago in
response TO the demands of the people
living west OF the Allcghenies. started
with Kansas City Chapter Of the ID. a
r. and has since received the cordial
Endorsement of the national organiza
ton.
The ID. A. X. has no objection to the
building of the proposed Lincoln high
way across the country along n more
northerly route. but are convinced that
the Cumberland road and the historic
trails which led from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific were selected by
the pioneers because they were the
natural highways. offering the least re-
sistance. and Cor that reason were the
best routes known To the hardy settlers
Of the early days.
Uncle Sam spent $7O00.O00 on the
Cumberland road. which was conplet
ed for distance Of about 800 miles.
one Of the longest straight roads ever
constructed by any government In the
world. The original plan was TO build
this famous pike from Cumberland.

Farmers Prefer Wisconsin Seed
Corn.

Wisconsin growers are furnishing
farmers In the heart of the corn belt
with seed corn.
One reason given for this Ia that the
Badger state corn men generally have
not been growing nor encouraging the
raising of large varieties, For years,
many farmers thought that the larger
kinds would yield more than the medi
um types, but experience has proven
that the big varieties are usually soft at
harvesting time.
Most Wisconsin farmers now grow
the smaller sorts which ripen earlier
and mature better, Farmers in the
corn belt states who have used Wis
consin seed report very favorably upon
the trials.
