IMPROVING ROADSIDES
IN NEW YORK

= The amount of money brought an
nuaaly into various rural districts
by motorists has been estimated at
very large figures by different sta
tisticians. It is difficult to determine
satisfactorily, but there can be no
question thai the income derived in
this way in the sections where the
surroundings of the roads are at
tractive is materially increased by
this esthetic charm. 1t is significant
of the attention now paid to the
subject that Prof. H. R. Francis Of
the New York State College of For
estry has begun an examination of
the roads of that state. The effect
of shade on the condition of the
roads, a subject of considerable
technical interest, will be studied,
but the main work will be to find
out how to produce the most satisfac-
tory appearance of the roadsides by
trees, shrubs and lower vegetation.
In many places beautiful vistas are
now spoiled by too much shrubbery
or too many trees. In other places
the telegraph and telephone lines are
so numerous that the treatment of
the roadside is decidedly complicated,
mad in other places the roadside
trees may have an unexpected nfiu-
ence on crops growing in their shade.
All these things will be investigated,
and suggestions for improvements
will be given to the local improve
ment societies of the districts visited.
IF such advice is followed, a notice
able improvement can be made at a
very small expense, experience on a
small scale shows, and the pleasure
Of motoring over the more attractive
highways will bring more city money
into the county.

Des Moines. Sept. 5.--Now that the
strike has been averted concern over
business conditions in this section be-
cause Of the possibility Of a railroad
sieup Is disappearing. The business
outlook in general for the fall and
winter months is full Of optimism.
As has so often been pointed out the
backbone Of Iowa's prosperity is agri-
culture and crops. All thru the state
crops are good. the corn Is reported to
be maturing rapidly and high prices
prevail When wheat is high corn is
also high and that means the corn
this year. The wheat crop in Iowa
mas never been much Of crop so that
1.-The shortage in the winter wheat crop
in Iowa will not cut much figure.
From all reports there will be con-
Siderable cattle feeding in Iowa again
this TALL and winter. The high prices
1 for feed will cause q good many to
sell their grain and stay out of the
feeding game but nevertheless cattle
are bound to be correspondingly high,
especially next spring. Iowa mas an
abundance Of feed and there is good
money to be made in feeding this year,
the experienced feeders say
Auto Sales Heavy.
Sales Of automobiles these early fall
months continue to be heavy. The
total number Of cars now licensed has
passed the 1s1, 900 mark and many are
predicting that Iowa will have 100000
cars before the end Of the year.
This has been a good year for build
ing In Iowa Especially residence
building has been active in the towns
and cities Of the state.
Railroads say there is shortage OF
cars this fall for moving the crops.
There is still more or less congestion
at the port cities. The heaviest ship
ping season in the middle west is APP

Labor generally is scarce. Employ
ment bureaus still have many calls for

up their seasons work. Factories are

Length, about twelve inches, The
yellow lower part of the bill disttn-
cuisines this bird from it's near rela-
tive, the black-bived cuckoo.
Range: Breeds generally in the
United States and southern Canada;
winters in South America.
Habits and economic status: This
bird lives on the edges of woodland,
in groves, orchards, parks, and even
in shaded village streets. 1t Is some.
times known as rain crow, because its
very characteristic notes are supposed
to foretell rain. The cuckoo has sly.
furtive ways as 1t moves among the
bushes or fits from tree to tree. and
Is much more often heard than seen.
Unlike its European relative, 1t does
not lay it's eggs in other birds nests,
but builds a nest Of its own. This Is,
however, rather crude and shabby
affair-hardly more than platform
of twigs sufficient to hold the green
ish eggs. The cuckoo Is extremely
useful because Of its insectivorous hab-
its, especially as 1t shows marked
preference for the hairy caterpillars,
which few birds eat. One stomach
that was examined contained 250
American tent caterpillars: another,
217 fall webworms. In places where
tent caterpillars are abundant they
seem to constitute a large portion Of
the food Of this and the black-btlled
