The Federal appropriation for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1918. Of $lO,0O0,OO0 to aid the
state in the construction of rural
post roads has now been appor-
toned among the several states
by the Secretary Of Agriculture.
in accordance with the terms of
the Federal-aid road act. Before
making the apportionment the
secretary, in accordance with the
provisions of the act, deducted 3
per cent of the appropriation, or
100000, to meet the cost of adj
ministering the act. The remain
ing $4,000 has been divided
among the states as the act pre-
ScribeS- One-third in the ratio of
area, one-third in the ratio Of pop
ulation, and One-third in the ratio
of mileage of rural-delivery routes
and star routes. Apportioned on
this basis, the money is divided

The deplOrable truth is that too
many of our farmers are "neees-
sity" farmers. They ask them
selves, "IIow much do | need
and then proceed to satisfy that
need. and no more. They should
rather ask, Glow much can !
get ?" and then get all they can.

America could feed the world ii

What the capacity is, we are
only beginning 10 discover.

"The chief object of this nation,
al week Of song is TO acquaint the
boys and girls. and the older peo-
pie also, with the best Of the
worlds songs. The songs with a
good purpose, the songs which ele-
vate and inspire good deeds. es-
pecially the songs which have
stood the test OF years-the old
songs which are always dear to
the heart. The boys and girls Of
the present are not IA familiar
with these old songs as they

more time 10 the teaching Of them.

Possibilities OF Our Soil.

We want to say TO the farmers
of this community that no feature
of present day education is more
potent for good to this country
than that now being accomplished
by the various agriculturist
schools and experimental stations
and farms.
Twenty years ago the book
farmer" was looked upon as a Wis
ionary by a large per cent of our
farming population, and is even
yet so regarded by some.
Now the man who intelligently
studies his soil with view to de-
termining its needs is coming to
the front as an authority on mat
tiers of agricultural. And the rea-
son this is so is because his theo-
rieS have brought forth fruit IN
fact.
Nothing is more certain than
that this country is woefully be-
hind in farming efficiency. For
years our farming experts have
been pointing ont to rs the fact
that our lands are not producing
a half, not even a third, of the
crops that bountiful nature I'M
tends they should yield. One has
only to cite the ease of Germany
to see the full force Of this state
ment. Germany is not as large
is the state Of Texas, yet Germany
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1917-02-15

today is supplying her civil pop
ulatiOn and her vast armies al
most entirely from the products
Of her own soil.
But Germany and other old
world countries have for years
praetieed intensive farming, a
system that is only just beginning
to prevail in this country.
Instead of being merely an ex-
pertinent, intensive farming should
be the rule. Nothing more fully
demonstrates the truth of this
statement than glance at the re-
suits obtained by the many corn
clubs of the country From all
directions come reports from these
organizations, where the enormous
yield of 200 bushels and more per
acre has been attained. Not on
Il this, but the reports coming
from all sections of the country
arc proof that almost any of our
soil is susceptible to just such inn
prOvement.
Then there is another import
ant feature to these big corn
Yields. Ii has been shown that
they can be produced at a sub
stantial profit over and above the
cost of preparing the land for
their production. Careful records
have been kept Of all eNpcndi-
lures, and in almost every in
stance the proceeds have much
