ed crop yields. Ground feldspar may
be included In this class. However,
the cases where increased yields re-
suit from the application of these sub
stances are so rare and the conditions
under which increased yields may be
expected are so little understood that
their use az fertilizer materials In
general cannot be recommended.
The department has recently receiv-
cd many requests for copies Of Buile-
tin 104 and many inquiries with refer
nee to the use Of feldspar as a fer
tilizer. The farmers Of the country
should be warned that the department
does not recommend such q practice
and that the expenditure of money for
ground feldspar as a substitute for
potash for fertilizer purposes will pro-
baby not result in any commensurate
increase in crop yields.

The right way for public roads
are estimated at 1~0,66S,276 acres, val
ued at s345, 257, 900. There was ex-
pended on roads in 1915 $3.50, 000, 900.
Up to June /, 1914, the following
amounts in bonds had been issued for
improvement purposes by the states:
$15S, 900, 900; and by counties and
townships, s2S7, 011,01S.
1t would be wisdom, in my opinion,
If Colorado would vote $40, 900 900 in
bonds, in addition to the half mill
levy, to be expended $1,000,000 each
year for ten years. l believe that it
would prove an excellent investment
for the whole state. / am sure this
would be efficiently expended at this
time, and the work Of improvement
could be vigorously and continuously
prosecuted all over the state.
The general government has paid
little attention to the good roads pro-
blem. Why-I cannot understand.
Certainly any representative in con-
gress must be aware of the crying
needs of his constituents for better
facilities for the transportation of
their products, but the pork barrel has
been opened at every session, and its
contents lavishly distributed to favor
ed localities for most ill-considered
projects, embraced in the river and
harbor bills.
In the last five years congress has
appropriated s19S, 931 ,470 for rivers
and harbor improvements.
During the same period, with all
our good roads agitation, they gave to
the Bureau of Public Roads $1,119,540.
There has been appropriated to and
expended by this department, which
was created twenty-one years ago,
81, O9,440, a sum less than Colorado
expended during Ne ear year OF 1915.
Many of the appropriations made by
congress for river and harbor improve
ments have been the subject OF jest In
che halls of congress, because of their
absurdities. Congressman Sunset
COA many Years u Wuiic dPPio-
pr~iations for rivers and harbors were
under consideration in the House, said,
"A great many of the rivers that are
appropriated for would be most econ
omically improved by m~acadamizine
them" A prominent army engineer
while discussing the improvement OF
a southern river, when it was said
there was a lack of water to float any
thing, replied: "Oh, we a provide
sufficient water there. even If we have
to pump it up from the Gulf of Next
co." Another prominent engineer
proposed the sinking of artesian wells
to augment the water supply.

preparation for the last five years:

GROUND FELDSPAR NOT REC
OMMENDED AS FERTILIZER

Wide publicity has recently been
given to a statement advocating the
use of ground feldspar as a substitute
for potash salts and referring to u.
s. Department Of Agriculture Bulletin
No. 104 as authority for the propos-
ed practice.
Bulletin No. 104, entitled 1.-THE Use
Of Feldspathic Rocks as Fertilizer"
was published In 1907. This bulletin
discussed the use OF finely ground
feldspar as a possible substitute for
potash for fertilizer purposes. and was
based upon a series OF experiments
conducted by the department. The
results reached were inconclusive, az
the following quotation from the bull
letin itself will show:
"A careful reading OF the foregoing
pages will show that no claim has
been made that ground f%eldspar Is an
efficient substitute under all circum-
stances for potash salts. The question
Is still open and systematic and long
continued experimentation is the only
possible method Of obtaining conclu-
sive information on the subject. AT
the present stage OF the investigation
1t would be extremely unwise for any
one to attempt to use ground rock
except on an experimental scale that
would not entail great financial loss.
II is extremely unlikely that ground
rock will ever entirely displace the
use OF potash salts. for It's availability
must inevitably depend upon the
amount of moisture present, the char
acter of the other fertilizers used, and
the varying root action Of different
crops"
Investigations made since the pub
LEGATION OF this bulletin have failed To
show that ground feldspar is of any
general value for fertilizer purposes
The potash content in feldspathic
rocks is a highly insoluble form and
to be made available for fertilizer
purposes must undergo chemical treat
ment at high temperatures. In gener.
al, II may be said that most soils con
tain a considerable amount OF potash
in this insoluble form derived from
the disintegration Of silicate rocks, Of
which feldspar IL one. The applica-

hulks, and always the possibility, like
the man with the gun in his hip
pocket, of getting into trouble.
Increase Traffic.
Within ten days after the beginning
of the great European war, because
OF the general good road conditions Of
the several nations, 100000 automo-
of every description were In acti e
use in every arm of the service. This
number has been increased as rapidly
as they could be manufactured or pur-
chased. They have practically elimi-
mated the horse, except in the cavalry
and as pack animals. This ought to
afford an excuse for the preachers of
preparedness to urge government aid
in road building.
Traffic census taken on the Denver
Colorado Springs road for thirty-fve
days, exclusive Of Sundays, in August
and September, shows that the aver
age automobile travel for the thirty
five days, between s a. m. and 5 p. M,
was 129 Colorado cars and II out-of-
state cars. To this may be safely
added Is per cent for the travel after
5 p. IN. and before s a. M, which
would make 14S Colorado cars and 50
out-of-state cars, or 230 each day, max
ing a total for the thirty-five days of
$3.50 Colorado cars and 2,S70 out-of-
state cars; and If you add the travel
for six Sundays, which is much heav-
Ter, o would have for the forty-one
days 5000 Colorado cars and 3,4S2 for
eign cars, or a grand total of 1891
cars.
From general statements from about
the state, / believe that at least 20, 900
cars, carrying $4,000 passengers, visit
ed Colorado during the past summer,
and that the average time spent In
, Colorado was not less than thirty
days. / believe from inquiries made,
that each person spent not less than
$500 per day. or 100000 per day for
the thirty days, or $500, 900 left by
these visitors in Colorado business
channels.
In December, 1906, the date OF the
first Colorado Good Roads Convention,
there were owned in tho state 1900
automobiles valued at $4,000, 900. For
the year 1915 license fees were col
lected on 28,500 cars, costing, at a con-
sentative estimate, $25, O00, 900, or an
increase In numbers of $1,000, and in
value Of $22, 000, 900 In nine years. In
1906 III visiting cars did not exceed
fifty, while in 1915 we have had not
less than 10000 autos from outside
the state.
Tho automobile cannot be classed
as a strictly pleasure or ~aristocratit
craft any more. l have met them load
ed with milk, merchandise, passengers

Good roads have increased in pro.
portion to the use Of the motor. ant
will continue to do so until we have
a perfect net work of good roads ove
the entire state.

A batleship of modern design now
costs fifteen or twenty millions, and

SOME FACTS PERTAING TO
GOOD ROADS IN COLORADO.

ct. J.. Ehrhart in Western Farm Life.)
With the limited amount of $217,O00
at its disposal for 1915, the State Col
orado Highway Commission has en-
deavored in every way to keep the
work of improvement upon system
of state highways going forward. All
he counties in the state have liber-
ally contributed with their own funds
n energy in going ahead, so that
important links in state roads have
been completed, about 1900 miles
graded, and ten per cent surfaced with
gravel, shale and hard dirt. Hun
dreds of culverts of concrete and iron
have been placed. These improve
ments have not been confined alone
to the state highways, but 1 think I
may say that more substantial work
has been done on general county roads
than any previous year.
The outlook for the continuation of
this good work fer 1916 is gratifying.
Plans and preparations are being
made in every county for a vigorous
campaign in road and bridge build
ing. 1t was feared at one time that
after the adoption of the half mill
levy the tendency of the counties
would be to lower the road levies for
road purposes, but it has developed
that many counties have sought the
privilege from the state tax commits
sion of making an additional levy of
one-half mill, so that the local levies
will be fully equal, IL they do not ex-
coed, the amount raised in previous
years.
State funds available for 1916 will
be as follows:
From the halfmlll levy, less 8
per cent uncollectable.....-..$575 900
One-half automobile license
TAX bU,UUU
Internal Improvement Fund. 100, 900
Total
The counties will raise, by special
road and bridge levies, approximately
$1,000, 900, making a grand total of
$2,335, 900, which means greater and
more extensive road improvements
than in any previous year. On the
whole the road situation generally in
Colorado is encouraging and salts
factory.
To illustrate the prodigious task
that confronts the people of the Unit
ed States in the care and improvement
of our public highways, I ask you to
consider the following figures:
The total miles Of public roads in
the United States in 1915 was 2,273,-
900. OF this mileage 247,490, or 10
per cent, is classified as improved
that is, surfaced with some sort OF
material. This has been done at a
cost of 1929, 7S7, 256.
