IMPERATIVE NEED OF
HIGHWAY ENGINEERS

atlanta Journal Commenting on
the fact that some counties of Ken
lucky are disposed to regard a road
engineer as an unnecessary Official
the Louisville Courier-Journal truly
says that the greatest waste of high
way fund comes thru inefficiency
Contracts are let to men who do
not know the first principles of road
building and these contracts are sup
ervised by men who are equally de-
What can the taxpayers expect in
such circumstances
Kentucky is not alone in its need of
scientific methods In highway con-
strutction and maintenance. Every
state has suffered from unsystematie
and unbusinesslike regimes in road
building. In hundreds OF communi-
ties the idea still prevails that earth
and shOvels and common labor are
the only things necessary to make a
good road, whereas this task requir-s
es very high degree OF knowledge
and skill. Road building, indeed,
is an art based upon science, and the
community that ignores this truth
wastes its money and greatly en-
harnesses its future highway develop
ment.
Happily, there are omens of a pub
lie awakening to the need Of compe-
tent engineering service in the work.
Most Of the states have established
highway commissions which super
wise and coordinate the road build
ing Of the various counties. These
commissions are under the control
of experienced engineers who sug-
gest routes, advise local authorities
in the selection OF matrials and in
many other ways help the individual
counties to thoroughgoing, economic
methods.
Such a plan not only saves money
and guarantees the taxpayers fair
return, it also results in dura Bile
roads, so paved and so maintained
as to give the state the largest meas
ure Of service.

When to Cut Alfalfa

A bulletin issued by the Montana
experiment station says that, for all
classes of animals except horses, al
falfa should be cut for hay when the
new shoots or stems begin to appear
at the crown. These are easily seen
Just as they come up among the old
stems at about the beginning of the
blossoming time. Cutting earlier than
this is not desirable or profitable, since
the yield will be smaller and the hay
will be more difficult to cure.
1t should not be allowed to get much
beyond this stage for two reasons:
First-Although a somewhat heavier
first cutting of hay can be secured by
allowing it to stand longer than the
time recommended, the hay is neither
as palatable. O as nutritious. Second
the crop after it is at the
proper stage to cut delays and reduc-
es the second crop since the new
shoots coming from the crown are cut
off with the first crop. When alfalfa
is to be fed to horses. it may be al
lowed to grow slightly longer than
when it is to be fed to cattle, but it
should never be left until the second
crop is injured in cutting the first
crop.

Stockmen Will Protest

According to D. w. Raymond, Sec
rotary of the state board Of stock
commissioners, the livestock rates the
Northern Pacific and Milwaukee pro-
pose to put into effect from Montana
points to coast markets are not salts
factory. The growers decided some
time ago not to oppose an increase
in rates to eastern markets, provided
reductions were made to points on the
west coast. 1t seems there are no re-
auctions west of Waco, in Yellowstone
county, on the Northern Pacific, nor
west Of Sumatra on the Milwaukee.
The hearing on the request for high
err rates will be held at Denver July
~. Montana shippers will oppose the
application on the grounds advanced
that better service is being given
than formerly and that this costs
more. The Montana stockmen will
also ask the interstate commission to
make the reductions to coast points
effective east Of Helena on the North
ern Pacific, Havre on the Great North
ern and Butte or the Milwaukee.

Favors Agricultural Education

Bozeman, July 7.-That 1t is only
a matter of a few years until the state
legislature of Montana demands by
law, the teaching of agriculture in the
rural school and town schools of the
state, is the opinion of Garland A.
Bricker, n of the strongest speakers
on the Montana state college summer
school program.
There will be in this state, prophe-
sizes Mr.. Bricker, a constantly increas-
ing agitation for agricultural educa-
ton in rural and graded schools. The
state college will then institute a de.
partment of agricultural education
which will turn out men and women
who in turn will be fitted to teach
the subject to the youth Of the state.
Then the state will follow with a law
making compulsory instruction in ag-
liculture in the public schools of the
state. This, Mr.. Bricker says, is the
usual course which the development
las taken in states where law now
demands that the youth of the coun.
try shall be taught the rudiments of
an agricultural education.
