Half Your l.ivlng
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fail. Cost Of all food and
grain products Is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's q time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew!

of good roads was emphasized, have
said: Eyes, but they cost so much:"
Apparently they have not thought how
much more bad roads cost, not only in
dollars and cents, but also in all those
indirect ways for which one can make
no definite calculation.
Much Money Now Being Spent.
This law appeals to me as of essen
tiai Importance, not so much because
it carries with it out Of the federal
treasury an appropriation Of SS5,OOO,-
600, not because it will be met by an
appropriation of S75,000,000 or more
out of state funds, if all the states ac-
cept the act, but because as great as
Is the aggregate, it is relatively insig-
nifcant in comparison with amounts
the states are now annually expending
and will spend during the period COW
cred by the act.
I remember that, on one occasion.
when l was speaking to public offi-
cial about the road bill and suggested
that we ought to begin with modest
initial appropriation of three, four or
five millions of dollars, he expressed
surprise and said that such an amount
would not get us anywhere; that the
expenditure by the nation OF few
millions of dollars for roads would be
merely Ir1nlng With the matter. l
asked him if he knew what the people
of the nation were contributing an
nually for road building, that the ma
tion was already expending the equiya-
lent Of nearly half Of what the Panama
canal has cost. Of course he did not.
and the majority of people do not real
lie that the nation is eXpending ap-
proximately S250000,000 q year for
roads.
The main question that I am imme-
diately concerned with, that the people
of the nation are Immediately con-
cerned with, Is whether we shall get a
dollars result for every dollar we eI-
pend for roads. am quite sure that II
we do so and we can convince the peo-
ple that we have done'so, they will be
willing to put much more money into
good loads where they are needed.
Therefore, the matter Of administering
this law, of devising good road sys-
tens, Of careful selection Of roads, Of
formulating projects, Of developing
plans and specifications, Of having all
matters considered on their merit by
competent men, seem to me to lie at
the root of this business. If, as the re-
suit of this act, the people are induced
fully to realize the necessity Of placing
skillfui and experienced men in charge
of road building and road maintenance,
n great advance will have been made

Recently Enacted Law Estab'
fishes New Principle in
American Government.
States join WITH UNClESAM
Measure Makes Cooperation Neces.
sary Where Friction Has Existed
Frequently in the
Past.
BY DAVID =. HOUSTON,
Secretary of Agriculture.

The federal-aid road act and another
law-the cooperative agricultural ex-
tension act-that the department Of
agriculture is charged with the duty Of
enforcing. establish new principle in
American government, the principle Of
cooperation between federal and state
officers. They are the only laws re-
call which recognize and insist upon
this principle. They are therefore very
significant. Heretofore federal and
state officers have too frequently
looked at one another across the line,
sometimes with apprehension as to
what the other was going to do or
think, sometimes with jealousy, not in
frequently with friction.
1 need not emphasize the impor-
tance of good roads. Most intelligent
people who think about good roads
know that they are essential to COM
Portable living, essential to proper COM
munity development, especially to the
development of rural life, to efficient
production and orderly marketing Of
farm products, to good schools, and to
the development Of q satisfactory rural
life.
Many people, however, do not appre-
ciate this, and I have occasionally met
road officers who, when the Importance
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1917-01-10

and the efforts of those who labored
to secure the legislation will have been
rewarded.
Real Experts VIII Be Needed.
I assume, as q matter of necessity,
that this law will require the employ
ment in every state Of experts, Of real
experts. This word is very much mis-
used and abused. The public is some
what suspicious Of experts, because, !
think, so many people pose as experts
who are not. + repeat that this act
will necessitate trained intelligence in
the service of the state as we'll as IN
the service of the federal government.
The act requires the state to accept it.
That, as I understand it, implies the
assent of the state to every provision
Of the act. One Of these provisions Is
that projects, plans, Specifications and
contracts shall be submitted and ap-
proved; and I have q suspicion that
plans and specifications will not be ap-
proved unless they are submitted by
people who know about such things.
So the assent of the state involves the
calling of trained men into the service
Of every state which is now without
them.
The law involves another thing, the
pledge of the faith Of the state to meet
in full the federal appropriation for
the entire period covered by the act.
but it can pledge the faith Of the state
to meet the financial provisions of the
act for the period covered by it. This
is as it should be. 1t would be unfor-
tunate if it were otherwise. It would
be wasteful not to make plans at the
outset for the full period covered by
the act; It would mean piece-meal
road building and much dissipation Of
effort and misdirectiop Of funds.
