now TO IMPROVE
OUR COUNTRY ROADS
Will Be Main Subject Discussed BY
Road Men At the Agricultural
College, January 1915.
T. II. TALIAFERRO,
Maryland Agricultural College.

In many sections of Maryland the
character of country roads not only
precludes the ready movement of farm
products during the winter and early
spring, but reduces to a minimum so
cial intercourses between friends and
neighbors who under better conditions
of travel would relieve the monotony
of winter days by visits so pleasant to
those fortunate enough to have home
in a rural community blessed with
good roads. For this reason, in plan.
ming for short course and conference
on road making and maintenance, the
Division of Engineering of the Agrlcul
tural College has laid especial
emphasis on the improvement of the
country dirt road which may or may
not lead to the main thoroughfares 50
well constructed under the direction
of the State Roads Commission. IL
addition, having in mind the many
perplexing problems which confront
the Roads Engineers in our counties,
one day in the week has been set
especially apart for a free and full
discussion of the county road prob
lem by Roads Engineers and Super
visors.
Among the most perplexing Of road
problems, probably that of financing
road construction and maintenance
without placing too heavy burden in
the way of special taxes stands first
and will be discussed with keenest in.
terest by our county commissioners
and their fellow-taxpayers. To add to
the information obtainable on this sub.
ject, an expert from the Office of Pub,
lie Roads and Rural Engineering has
and give data on what is being done
in other sections of the country in
meeting this problem.
Other road problems that concern
every person living in the country
vitally will be included in the confer.
ences of the week. Perhaps, none will
be more emphasized than finding
means Of keeping country roads that
have been improved in good condition
SO frequently. after improvement as tC
surface our country roads 20 to pieces
rapidly because no adequate provision
has been made for drainage. Again
many complaints Of slippery roads
have been made, where they have been
improved and oiled. Regarding this
trouble, an expert from the State
Roads Commission viii give the latest
methods Of overcoming il. In fact,
since the road problem is such an i'm
portant one at this time in every coun.
~ and neighborhOOd Of the State, il
is our belief that the conference and
short course should be largely attend
ed by taxpayers. county commission
ers. roads engineers and supervisors
and many others living in Maryland
communities where the road problem
IS Of such prime Importance. The
complete program OF the short course
and conference, beginning January 10
which may be obtained by writing &c
the Agricultural College. College Park
Nd, should be in the hands of every
Marylander interested in having more
and better roads throughout the State.

WHY NOT GROW PURE BRET
FOWLS ON EVERY FARM7
ROY II. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Maryland poultry raisers make a
practice of mixing their breeds. They
use one male this year, get a male
bird Of an entirely different breed next
wear. another the year after, until
finally the flock gets TO look as If it had
been struck by lightning Nothing
could be worse for the poultry in
dustry than this hit or miss breeding
You get stronger, healthier fowls you
say. Let us see why you do. When
YOU breed from two birds that are in
any way related you increase the
chances of perpetuating any defect
which they may both have. Being re
lated the chances that they will both
have the same defect are increased.
When you cross two. breeds or varie
ties the chances of breeding birds to
gether both with the same defect OF
fault are greatly diminished This
then is the only plausible reason for
breeding a mixed -Congrel flock. Let
us see what It CO rs TO do this Let
us see how much We gain or loose in
the long run.
l. A good strain Of ere bred will
lay more eggs.
2. Eggs from pure bred will be
more uniform in size, shape and color
g. A pure bred will make better
appearance on the market.
T. The carcass of a pure bred will
make a better appearance on the mar.
ket on account of uniformity of size
shape and color.
s. Breeding stock of a pure bred
can often be sold 10 advantage.
6. You cannot help but take pride
in a pure bred flock and will give
them better attention.
Don't YOU really think that it would
really pay to give a little more care
to the selection Of breeding stock OF
some good breed, rather than keep on
with flock that the word hash"
would very nearly describe.
BY selecting the strongest ral-.
vigorous and healthy bir1a for l.a i
ing, you can keep a flock in FIRST class
condition. Instead of perpetuatiug
defects, you will be making Roadway
in fixing and improving the desirable
qualities and in the meantime getting
the advantages that we enumerated as
belonging to the pure bred flock.

At these district conventions dele

chosen. The state convention rec
ommends men on one or more Of the

the league convention selected on the
state ticket six Republicans and one
