Help organize rural life and make
the country better place in which to
live.
The problem which confronts the
farmer next in Importance to dis
tribution is diversification.
Agriculture has gone through two
thousand years of evolution and is
still in an experimental stage.
Over production is the stumbling
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping-stone of agriculture.
1t is the duty of every farmer to see
that his wife is supplied with every
equipment to Tighten her labors.
To eliminate waste and inefficiency
in marketing, the farmer should keep
in close touch with marketing condi-
tions.
The problem of marketing is the big
gest business proposition of any age
or nation and one that will require
the combined efforts of all the agen-
cies of civilization to solve.

COOPERATIVE Farming.

In this age of cooperation, in
which manufacturing and commercial
interests have attained wonderful de-
velopment and success py merging
their resources, it is not to be Won
dered at that cooperation has slowly
but inevitably wendell it's way into
rural life. The old method of indi-
vidualism is gradually giving way to
the cooperative spirit and the result
is greatly reduced cost of living
and lessened expense of farming.
Idaho farmers are leading the coo per-
alive movement and it is gradually
being extended into every feature Of
community life.

Addressing an audience composed
of stockraisers from practically every
state in the union, at the National
Dairy Show at Washington recently,
Secretary Houston of the United
States Department of Agriculture
declared the short meat supply to be
one of the most serious problems con-
fronting American Agriculture. Mr..
Houston approved the plan of cattle
raising on large ranches and declared
that no effort would be spared by the
Federal government in further in
creasing production from this source
but insisted that the proper solution
of this problem depended on an in
creased interest in livestock raising
by farmers and in more systematic
control and eradication ofsshog chol-
eria, cattle tick and tuberculosis.
Figures were quoted from govern
ment reports, showing that the pro-
duction of meat in the United States
during the past IA years had fallen
off 5000, 900, 900 pounds and that the
population of the nation during this
time had increased $4,000, 900.

American Horse in Battle.

The American horse is one of the
first to answer the bugle call of the
European war. Representative of
many foreign governments are in this
country purchasing horses for the
various armies of the warning nations
and practically every state in the union
is contributing cavalry material
to the belligerent factions.
The American horse is utility ami

country on the face of the earth. He
has plowed our fields, fought our bat

kind. His reputation has extended

Benefit Of Roads TO Non-Abutting Owners.

The road building specialists of the
department of agriculture, in bull
letin No. 1856, entitled Highway
Bonds" have the following to say
about to benefit of we'll con-
structed 'rhway to property owners
whose prop 'ty is not directly on the
road to be IL proved:
In planning the highway system or
the main m.rket roads, it will
be found necessary to omit many roads
the improvement Of which is greatly
desired by abutting landowners.
The fact that such property holders
must pay a tax for the bond issue is
only an apparent injustice, for if the
highway system is we'll planned the
entire county will feel the benefits of
the Improvement. As rule, main
market roads reach the majority of
producing areas, and when they are
improved all land values tend to in
crease.
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to bull highways outside of
their own limits is sometimes made
point of debate in bond elections. 1t
is argued that because a lare part of
the county wealth is within the COR
porate limits of such cities and towns,
highway Ebond money should also be
I uCaH 70 fhoi,. OF ;c,
even urged that the expenditure should
be made proportionate to the assessed
valuation within the city limits.
If the proceeds of highway bond is
sues We're distributed in this way,
their purpose in many cases would be
defeated. The primary object of the
county highway bondi ssue is to build
county market roads and not to i'm
prove city streets, although high
percentage of the assessed valuation
may be city property. 1t is now
known that the expenditure of city
taxes on county roads is sound prin-
ciple and that it is one of the best
features of state aid for highways
In Massachusetts the city of Boston
pays possibly 40 per cent of the total
state highway fund, but not mile of
state aid highway has been built with
in its limits. New York City also
pays about copper cent of the cost of
the state highway bonds. Some state
laws prohibit the expenditure of pro-
ceeds of state highway bonds within
corporate limits of cities or towns.
The improvement of market roads
results in improved marketing condi-
tions which benefit the city. Most
cities are essentially dependent upon
the surrounding country for their pros
perity and development. The devel-
opment of suburban property for res
idence purposes is also dependent up
on highway conditions and it is be-
coming evident yearly that whatever
makes for an increase in rural popu-
lation must be encouraged. Since the
introduction of motor traffic, country
highways are used to an increasing
extent by city residents. In fact,
the cost of maintaining many country
highways has been greatly increased
by the presence Of city-owned motor
vehicles. The general advance in
facilities for doing country business
from town headquarters when roads
are improved is no inconsiderable fac
tor in the commercial life of the COM
munity."
