THE WORLD NEEDS FOOD.

The world is facing n shortage OF
meat This Is not an idle conjecture,
but the statement Of man In a posi-
ton 20 know the real situation better
than any other man In the world. Mr..
George Mccarthy. secretary OF the
American Meat Packers Association.
Mr. Mccarthy says Europe VIII soon
exhaust It's own food supply and then
will drain the world to feed its huge
armies and helpless population. That
this country Is extremely short on
food animals. and that the prospects
for an abundant supply either in the
United States or abroad. are not en-.
couraging.
Only a glance Is necessary to con-
vince us OF the truthfulness Of these
statements. Meats and foods Of all
kinds viii soon be the crying needs
Of the whole world. and herein lies
the opportunity OF the South. With
our mild climate there is no country
in the world more favored for raising
meat products and all kinds OF food
supplies than the South. The South
can not only clothe, but she can also
feed large part OF the world, and the
sooner our farmers change their plans
to meet this new demand, the sooner
they will begin to share its benefits.
In helping TO feed the world, our
people can also feed themselves,
something they have never done be.

new condition OF things will bring
them prosperity.
Considering the situation from a
local standpoint. there are few farm

ROAD
BUILDING
EFFECTUAL REPAIR OF ROADS
Continuous Maintenance Keeps High
ways Always in Good Condition
Advantage Self-Evident.

The need of effectual repair and
maintenance Of highways has now be-
come well recognized. The resulting
demand for better methods and more
certain results is insistent. The office
of public roads Of the department OF
agriculture is making a strong effort
to focus the mind of the country on
the fact that maintenance and eff
fective repair are of equal Importance
with the actual improvement of bad
roads. Investment of money in new
roads does not become real economy
until provision is made for keeping
these new roads in condition after
they are built. If new road was
built and then, allowed to fall into
disrepair, much of the original invest
ment is simply wasted.
Europe. generally speaking. is ahead
of the United States in the matter
Of road improvement, but Great
Britain is struggling with a problem
similar to the one that confronts the

land, Scotland and Wales there are no
fewer than 2,140 separate authorities
who between them administer 175,4S7
miles Of roads, or an average of only
50 miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities there are over 200
burghs, one-half Of which have 10
miles Of road apiece to maintain.
Needless to say, such minute mile
age is insufficient to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year
around, and renders the employment
Of skilled engineer impossible for
economical reasons.
Officials of the Office of public roads,
when called upon for assistance by
the various staes, are pointing out
that road building is an art based on
a science, and that trained men and
experienced men are necessary to Sc
cure the best results from the expen'
diture of road funds.
Statisticians have found that al
though the average expenditure on
the improvement of roads exceeds one
million dollars day. large portion
of the money in the United States is
wasted because of the failure to build
the right type of road to meet the
local requirements or the failure to
provide for the continued maintenance
of the improvement.
During the last two decades there
has been a remarkable development OF
road building which is intimately as
