GOOD ROADS PROGRESS

Never before has Saginaw county
expended on its roads in any one wear
sum as large as has been set aside
by the board OF supervisors for the
purpose in 1915 The good roads
1und Will amount To more than S146.-
600. No one will begrudge the money
expended in this way The good
roads movement has been important
In the development OF Saginaw conn
" Tor many years and has contributed
In considerable degree TO our pros-
perity IL is significant OF its value
that the supervisors have this wear
voted more than ever before for the
Improvement of the county's high
ways. They and their constituents
nave OF necessity seen the effects of
good roads. Unless the money ex-
pended for this purpose had been
wisely expended il is certain that the
good roads movement could not have
continued and expanded. and that the
board would not venture now to take
more radical step than has been
taken before.
The soil of much Of Saginaw coun-
~, fertile as il is for agriculture. Is
Ill adapted to road purposes. AS a
result 1t is necessary to go to lengths
IN the construction of roads that are
unnecessary in other sections of the
state. The elaborate care with which
our stone roads are built is largely
imposed upon us. We are compelled
to go TO heavy expense TO put and
Keep our highways in such condition
that travel especially during the
spring and fall, is reasonably easy.
That the expense is justified and
That the county gets big returns on
the money it puts into good roads are
unquestioned. No other factor per-
haps, plays a larger part in the pros
perity Of the county. The farmer
must get his products TO the market
and must be able TO secure his sup
plies without too great difficulty. To
cite single instance, the sugar beet
industry in the Saginaw valley would
be sadly handicapped but for the
stone roads, for frequently ii is neces-
sary to haul the beets To the weigh
stations at "A time when the natural
roads are badly broken up and could
lot support the heavy tonnage. In
this case, and in general, good roads |

SEED CORN MAY BE BETTER
GRADED BEFORE EARS ARE
SHIELDED

Seed corn may be graded better be.
fore the ears are shelled than after
wards. The departments specialists
in corn Investigations consider il diff
cult TO grade shelled corn satisfactor-
lily.
If the seed ears vary greatly as to
size of kernel they should be separated
into two or three grades according to
size of kernel. These grades should
be shelled separately, tested in the
corn planter, and numbered TO CORE
spond with the number on the planter
plates that are found to drop them
most uniformly. These arrangements
can be completed before the rush of
spring work begins.
The first operation i'm properly shell
ling seed corn is the removal OF the
kernels from the tips Of the ears and
the round, thick kernels from the
butts. The former are less productive
than the other kernels of the ear. The
round butt kernels are as productive
as the other kernels Of the ear, but do
not plant uniformity in planter.
Smelling seed corn carefully by hand
is profitable. The greater the acreage
planted the greater the profit Into
a shallow pan or box each ear should
be shelled separately, rejecting any
worm-eaten or blemished kernels. If
the supply from the one ear appears
good and contains no poor kernels, IL
is poured into the general supply and
another ear shelled in the same way.

MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS
TREE BELONGS TO ALL

President Wilson Endorsed the com
munity Christmas tree idea, started in
1912 in New York. when a huge fir
tree, standing in the center OF Madison
Square Garden and throwing its light
for many blocks, was a gift giver to
hundreds i'm the city. The plan was
so successful that forty-seven of the
larger cities OF the United States. in
GLIDING Washington, had the same
sort OF celebration on Dec. 25 of 1913,
and the number OF 1914 municipal
Christmas trees was planned to be
larger
A copy OF the statement issued by
the president when his patronage was
asked for the community tree in
Washington was made public by the
persons who were responsible for the
tree In Madison Square Garden. The
community idea, said the president in
this statement, has i'm IL great pos
sibilities for good. III the plan involv-
ed pity or patronage IL would fail; III IL
were by one class for another class IL
would not be a community affair. But
q tree for all the people would help
them realize the things which bind
them together as people.

GREAT GOLD REGION.
Report ny United states Geological
Survey ON the Yukon-Tanana Ter
ritory, Alaska.

The first gold deposits found in
inland Alaska. were in the Yukon
Tanana region. which comprises an
upland diversified by broad valleys
stretching westward from the inter
rational boundary 10 the great bend
OF the Yukon. The earliest of the
pioneer prospectors crossed the Chill
koot Pass about 1850 and six years
later began mining in the interior of
Alaska after finding gold In the Yu-
kon-Tanana region. Since then this
region has produced gold to the wall
ue of about ss3.000.00O. The United
States Geological Survey began its
survey OF this field. which embraces
some 10000 square miles. in 1898.
With the issuing of the report on the
portion of the region known as the
Circle quadrangle, published recent
ly as Bulletin 53s. geologic and topo-
graphic renaissance maps, togeth-
er with description of the mineral
resources Of this area, became avail
able.
The town of Circle. from which the
report takes its name. is one of the
Oldest white settlements on the Yu-
yon. 1t was located before the sur
veyor had determined that the town
| was not on the Arctic Circle as sup
posed. but so miles south Of 1t. Lest
the nearness OF the Arctic Circle be
| regarded as indicative Of ice and
snow. it should be noted that there
are neither glaciers nor permanent
| snow in the Yukon Tanana region. 1t
,, is. indeed, land Of fertile valleys
| and grassy slopes. and during the
short but warm summers vegetation
thrives. many grains can be ripened
and vegetables grow luxuriantly. OF
course. the establishment of adequate
railroad transportation facilities may
be expected to greatly develop this
entire region.
The Circle quadrangle owes its
chief present importance to the pla-
Ger mines of the Birch Creek district,
which though worked in only a
small way. have produced gold to the
value of nearly s5,000.000. Bulletin
53S was written by L. NJ. Prindle, OF
the Geological Survey, and a copy
may be obtained on application to
the Director of the Survey at Wash
