All through the central states there seems to be at pres
ent an unexpected interest in earth roads, and there is a
widespread desire to have an authoritative opinion on
the field for which such roads are adapted. 1t is a subject
on which many experienced road engineers are not willing
to make any statements for fear of being misunderstood
or m~isquoted, but the road engineer of the Illinois state
highway department has recently made some comments
that answer a part of this oft-repeated question as fol-
lows: The earth road cannot, by any system of main
tenance, be kept up throughout the entire year to the
usual standard of the other types. The use of the road
in a wet and softened condition is what causes the trouble.
Under the conditions where the earth road is a suitable
type, its total cost for construction and maintenance is
less than that of any other type. In dry weather and
when it is not too dusty, the properly constructed and
maintained earth road is by far more pleasant and more
satisfactory to travel upon than any other road. With
neglected maintenance, however, no other type of road
can go to pieces and become impossible so quickly as an
earth road. Nor, on the other hand, can any other type
be brought to a satisfactory condition for travel so quick
ly and so cheaply after having been impossible. From
these peculiar features, it will be noted that practically
the entire problem with earth roads is their proper drain
age and systematic maintenance. The opportunity for
lettering our road conditions by properly improving the
earth roads is almost beyond our imagination"
Ninety-nine years ago Andrew Jackson began the con-
~struction of a military highway from Nashville, Tenn, to
Madisonville, La, which was completed in May, 1920. 1t
was planned by the Typographical engineers of the army
and built by soldiers. In the final surveys the engineers
followed a straight line bearing north 35 degrees east as
closely as the topography of the country permitted. The
total length of the road is SIG miles and all of it has been
in continuous use ever since it was finished. At the pres
ent time there is a project to transfer the name OF jackson
Highway to another route between these terminal cities.
The advocates of the old route make the statement that
the rural white population along it is five times as great
as the proposed new route, which is $40 miles longer, good
testimony to the value of a welllocated highway in bring
ing people into the country traversed by it.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING RECLAIMS
GREAT TRACT OF LAND

One of the largest and most scien-
tific agricultural enterprises in the
eastern part of the United States is
a farm in western New York. The
June Popular Mechanics Magazine in
an illustrated article tells of the
scientific methods and up-to-date i'm
plements used on this big farm, which
has been in the course of development
for the last three years. This farm
comprises 1000 acres, and is two
miles long and nine miles wide. A
trip of so miles is required to pay off
all the help. The undertaking is
backed by New York ~financiers and is
managed by a civil engineer who is
also a scientific farmer.
The land comprising this farm was
originally a vast, undrained swamp,
and its reclamation was accomplished
only by employing a dredge which cut
a deep main canal, with many lateral
branches, through the tract. AS the
land was drained, lumbermen were
put on it to clear off the trees and
SNuhipS WIN uAtS anu VI udiillt. intSt
workmen were followed by others
with five-gang plows, etc, drawn by
caterpillar tractors of light construc-
ton. These light engines have almost
wholly supplanted horses on the farm,
and are a source of special interest to
the boys of the farmers. One tractor
has eight times the pulling power of
a horse.
OF the 1000 acres of muck land in
the tract, only about 1000 acres have
been reclaimed and are now in use.
Much of the farm is devoted to truck
gardening conducted on a strictly
scientific basis. A cost system is
maintained and 1t is possible to know
just what each crop costs.
All the produce is prepared for ship
ment according to factory methods,
The crates are made on the farm, a
special mailing machine being one of
the labor-saving devices used in their
provided for with bungalows of mod
ern type and with modern social con-
%veniences, and such improvements as
telephones, electric lights, etc. An
evidence of the success of the enter
prise is that much of the land is now
valued at $500 per acre.
