tary of Agriculture and the State
highway departments.
The act provides that after making

tary of Agriculture and the State
highway departments.
The act provides that after making
necessary deductions for administer
mig it's provisions-not to exceed 3
per cent of the appropriation for any
one fiscal year-the Secretary of Ag-
riculture shall apportion the remain
der of each years appropriation in the
following manner:
One-third in the ratio which the
area of each State bears to the total
area of all the States.
One-t third in the ratio which the
population Of each State bears to the
total population Of all the States.
One-third in the ratio with the
mileage of rural delivery routes and
star routes in each State bears to the
total mileage Of rural delivery routes
and star routes in all States.
Project statements setting forth the
proposed construction of any rural
post road or roads in a State are
to be submitted by the State highway
department.. to the Secretary o. Ag-
riculture, and upon approval by the
Secretary all necessary surveys, plans,
specifications, and estimates must be
furnished. The roads projected must
be of a substantial character, and
items covering engineering, inspection
and unforeseen contingencies are not
to exceed 10 per cent of the total es-
timated cost of the work.
Upon completion of the work as
approved by the Secretary, the
amount set aside for the project is
to be paid to the proper State Of
fetal. The Secretary of Agticul-
ture is given authority, in his discre-
ton, to make partial payments as
the work progresses, but not in ex-
cess of the Federal governments pro
rata share of the labor and material
which have been actually put into
construction work nor in exess of
$4,000 per mile, exclusive OF the cost
of bridges Of more than 20 feet clear
span. All nonstruction work is SUBJ
ject to the inspection and approval of
the Secretary of Agriculture.
The various States securing aid un-
der the provisions of the act are
charged with the making Of needed
repairs and the preservation of rea-
sonably smooth surface, considering
the type of the road, but are not OBJ
ligated to make extraordinary re-
pairs or undertake reconstruction.
If, after due notie, State fails to
maintain Federally aided road pro-
perly, the Secretary is required tc
refuse further aid until the road has
been properly repaid at State expense

Recent Legislation Provides for Sys-
tenn of Improved Roads.
The sum of S85,OOO,OOO of Federal
funds is made available for the con-
struction Of rural roads, by the pass
age of the Federal-aid road bill which
became law on July II, 1916. Of
this sum S75,0OO,0OO is to be expend-
ed for the constitution of rural post
roads under cooperative arrangements
with the highway departments of the
various States, and $10,OOO,000 is to
be expended for roads and trails with
in or partly within the national for
casts. The law limits the Federal Gov
ernment's share in road work in CO.
operation with the States to so per
cent Of the estimated cost of con-
struction of any rural post road, ex-
cluding all streets or roads on which
the houses are, on an average, more
than 200 feet apart.
Five million dollars is made avail
able for expenditure during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1917, and there
after the appropriation is increased
at the rate of FIVE millions year
until 1921, when the sum provided is
twenty-five millions, making a total
of seventy-five millions. In addi-
ton An appropriation of $1,000
year for 10 years-a total of $l0,-
600, ,OOO-is made available for the de-
velopment of roads and trails wholly
or partly within the national forests.
The class of roads to be built and
the method Of construction are to be
mutually agreed upon by the Secre.

CATTLE EEDS WASTED
Products That Might Go to the Pro-
ducti0n of Meat Now Put to
Less Profitable Uses.

A vast quantity of feed available
for cattle is now either wasted ab-
solutely or put to some less profitable
use, says a recent report which the
department has just published as Part
~ of comprehensive survey of the
entire meat situation in the United
States. Failure to utilize the full
value of this material has increased
unnecessarily, the cost of producing
meat, has diminished the profits from
cattle feeding, and has discouraged
many farmers from engaging in an
industry essential to their perman-
ent prosperity.
According to the report already
mentioned, the loss in grain, straw,
and corn stover amounts to more than
$1OO,OOO,OO0 annually. Both of these
products are disposed Of most econ
omically when fed to cattle in con-
netion with some form of concentrat-
ed feed. Straw is especially valuable
in carrying the breeding herd through
the winter, in wintering stockers and
as a supplementary roughage for fat
tening attic. Slower, too, is an ex-
cellent feed for wintering cattle, es-
peially mature breeding cows. New
ertheless, in many sections of the
country where these products ar.
abundant, little attempt is made to
take advantage Of their value fol
these purposes.
OF an annual straw crop approx.
nately 12O,0OO,000 tons, it is esti'
mated that only two-thirds is put t.

Jack Barrymore will not admit that
there is any truth in the rumor that
he spent weeks in practicing dueling
with sword before the taking of
the duel scene in "Nearly a King,

famous comedian in the scenes and
those who bear the marks Of his skill
are inclined to doubt the truth of the
statement.
Vim. S. Hart, who was seen here
recently in the western drama "I!ell's

plays the part of a rugged man of
the desert, the leader Of band of
renegrades with an utter disregard for
law or order. How he is awakened
to the code of his race by a gentle
fearless girl is the dominant note of
the story.

book by John Fox, Jr. Miss Walk

stage production for several seasons,
and her Interpretation of the role of

Miss Walker is supported by an all

dore Roberts, who plays the part Of
Devil Judd Tolliver, her father.

In this connection it is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under certain circumstan
ces the full utilization of summer
grass. In number of western
states it frequently happens that
erass goes to waste because feeders
are unwilling to pay the high prices
asked for steers in the spring. With
an abundance of straw on hand to
lessen the cost of wintering, feeders
can take advantage of the lower
prices for stocker cattle in the fall to
secure on reasonable terms at that
time enough stock to pasture all the
grass the following year.

one-half is sold or. turned under ard
the rest, Is per cent of the total crop
is burned. Burning is practically an
absolute waste, and although plow-
ing under does contribute something
to soil fertility, the benefit to the
land is less than that which would
be derived from the use of the straw
to produce manure. "Of all sys-
TENS of obtaining permanent soil fer
tility," says the report, "none is so
practical or as easily available as
that of feeding live stock.
The average value of all kinds of
straw is placed at about $5 ton.
In many sections, of course, no such
price can be realized for it, and as
matter of fact only about per
cent of the crop actually is sold. The
figure mentioned, however, may be
taken as representing the value to
the farmer of straw if he will use it
properly in his farming operations as
feed or bedding. In order to illus
trate how this may be done the re-
port gives three sample rations for
wintering a breeding herd of beef
cattle on straw combined with silage,
shock corn, and cottonseed or lin
seed meal. Any one of these ra-
tions, it is said, will prove economical.

JOSEPHINE couNrYs DANGER.

The heads OF the federal forestry
service are especially anxious to in
clude within the reserve such tracts
of the o. 4 c. lands as are within
the reserve boundaries. The estim-
ate is given out as about 100000
acres. Receiver Turner, OF the Rose
burg land ofiice, has found that II all
the grant lands within the outside
borders of the reserve are added to
the reserve. Josephine county will
find 14a,SS0 acres more of her area
gobbled up in the reserves. That Is
why the Courier opposes the first
condition Of the Chamberlain bill,
which asks that title to the lands be
again invested in the United States.
IN the lands are ever taken OF the
tax rolls, the inclusion Of those por-
tons in question in the forest reserve
is as good as done. That feature Of
the Chamberlain bill should be
enough to condemn It. Political ex-
pediency, however, will undoubtedly
pass the Chamberlain bill. for un-
fortunately for the rights OF the
people most interested, Chamberlain
and the administration are In poll
tical accord, and the senior senator
viii get what he wants.
