corr and the raising of more live
stock is especially desirable at this
time. While the increased production
Of wheat, grains and vegetables Of all

mands of the people, the products and
manufactured b%y-products derived
from the corn and cattle industries
are absolutely indispensable.

n~esota, Western Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Washington,

pete in contests in connection with
this corn show, which is held under

district contestants so far as soil and
climatic conditions are concerned.

and prize for men and a first and sec
ond prize for boys will be awarded in
each district. Individual exhibits will
consist of ten ears of any variety of

to owners where request is made that
this be done at the time of making
entry. Men recognized as national au-
thorities on corn will judge exhibits.
The corn entered for prizes from each
district will be judged by what the
judges consider to be a recognized
standard for any variety of corn
raised in that particular district. Av-
erage size, productiveness, breed type
and general appearance will be the
principal governing features.

fcation over the figures which have
been made known by the bureau of
public roads in Washington. says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. According to
the statistics, the expenditures for
road and bridge building In the United
States have increased from about $50
100000 year I'm 1904 to $3.50, 0OO, 0OO
In 1915, or more than $50 per cent.
In the same period the expenditures
under state supervision have increas ed
from a few million year to some
thing like $S0,0OO,O 600 a year.
These figures are amazingly impress
sive. and they mark the transition
from an era when we were credited
with the worst roads I'm the world 20
one where we can look forward to
favorable comparison with the oldest
nations OF Europe The pioneers Of
this country had to fight nature and
many hardships, but we long ago
reached the stage where the impor-
lance OF good roads became recognized,
and now all who are concerned in the
movement seem to be imbued with
the idea OF making up for lost time.
Ii will be noticed that the great ad-
vance I'm improved roads has been CO.
incident with the coming and the de-
velopment of the automobile. Every
new automobile that is manufactured
means at least one new and enthusi-
astic advocate OF better roads. The
local. state and federal authorities
have Joined In the movement, and as
a consequence we are able to record
figures which tell most impressive
story. And, while the Automobiles
have been the chief factor In stimulat-
Ing this desire for modern and first
class roads, they have not been the
only benefciaries of the movement.
All Of the people have profted, ana
most Of all the farmers, who have
thus been enabled TO find an easy and
method Of marketing their
products. The good roads have also
aided I'm the extension OF the rural
free delivery service Of the postoffice
and this has been Of In
benefit TO those far removed
from the large centers Of population.

buy shoes they want to go where
shoes are on sale in abundance.
Only here and there have the
farmers discovered the same secret
Of business success. The farmer
who insists on his rights to raise a
different breed than his neighbors
has failed to catch the spirit OF sue
cessful business. Whether IL be
crops or animals, communities
should pull together to advance that
variety or breed which has proven
most profitable in that locality.
BY so doing they can build up a
trade center in their special lines.
And community may have several
special lines. the same breed Of
horses, Of dairy or beef cattle, az
poultry, sheep, hogs, and the same
variety Of corn, Of wheat or other
crops.
When buyer wants a carload Of
dairy cattle he will cross several
states to get into a community where
he can get the breed Of his seeking

choice shipment Of grain he will
more likely find what ne wants in a
community where all grow that

Of being able TO select
