ton drive which is now engaging the
attention of county agricultural repre-
sentatives, emergency food agents,

struction of these highways will be
approximately 100000. These high
ways must be kept in repair by the
state.
Indian Trails Now Roads.
The improvements that have been
made within the century in transporta-
ton facilities mark the rapid develop
ment of Wisconsin. Many of the old
Indian trails of two centuries ago,
crooked and serpentine ut places, are
to become the trunk line highways OF
today.
Along the waterways that early
came to be used by canoes for trans
portation, land trails were made. These
land trails were about eighteen inches
wide and were worn deep by constant
travel in single file. In general these
Indian land trails came to be used by
