VARIETIES

The variety of wheat is often deter
mining factor in securing high yield of
grain. 1t is important to select varieties
of good milling quality, that stand up
we'll, that are most resistant to disease
and that yield heavily. More than one
hundred varieties have been tested at the
Experiment Station during the past nine
years. In general the bearded varieties
have made better yields than the smooth.
There are some smooth wheats which
produce excellent yields, yet one year
with another the bearded sorts are more
dependable than the smooth. It appears
from the experiments conducted at the
Station that the bearded varieties yield
better on poor soil and under unfavorable
conditions of seeding. A comparison of
the average yield of twenty smooth with
twenty bearded shows a difference of S
bushels per acre in the favor of the
bearded. of the ten highest yielding
during the past eight years
eight have been bearded. The ten low
est yielding varieties were smooth.

BAD RpaDS CAUSE
WASTE OF MILLIONS
America Faces Big Task With 100000
MilOs Of UnimProVOd HiahWays.

In nine-tenths OF the states Of the
richest nation the world has ever seen
during and for some days after the
frequent heavy rains hardly a wheel
turns outside the paved streets Of their
cities. Farmers are isolated from the
towns and from each other. Social in
tercourse practically ceases. School at
tendance is virtually impossible. Trans
pOrtation is at a standstill. Millions Of
dollars worth of wheeled vehicles be-
come for the time being worthless.
When It rains hundreds Of thousands
Of square miles of the United States
not only lack efficient roads, they lack
roads. All they have is the right Of
way. But a public right Of way over
which travel is impossible is not a
road. 1t is not an efficient road unless
traffic is not only possible, but thor
Oughly practicable 365 days a year.
The countries Of western Europe
have long considered their efficient
road system as public utilities, neces-
sary not only to the civilized life OF
their communities, but essential from
the standpoint of national defense.
What the average prosperous Amert-
can farmer or business man calls q
road would be looked upon as a crime
by a European peasant. The economic
waste In our primary transportation
farm to railroad-can be estimated
yearly in the hundred millions, all
to inefficient roads. The
question which has interested the
American farmer is not the cost per
ton mile Of hauling his crops and how
1t could be lowered to his profit but
the road from his farm to the
railroad station was passable or not.
Some conception of the problem
which faces American road builders In
The achievement Of a national road sys-
-em may be gained by a consideration
If the fact that as compared with
France, with a system Of 355,0OO miles
# improved roads-the development Of
learly 400 years Of maintenance-we
lave about 100000 miles of unim-
,rOved roads yet to be developed into
general national system.
In the total Of over 100000 miles Of
Iublic right Of way, or so called roads,
4 the United States there are at pres
Mt but little over 10000 miles Of what
nay be technically referred to as '1m-
roved" roads. The task Is indeed a
one and one which win re-
uire and is now securing the best con
tructive ability Of the nation.
