Waiting for the Soldier Boys.

II is quite natural that folks at home
should await with eagerness and impotence
the mastering out of the soldier boys whose
work is done. Let us bear in mind, how
ever. that the rehabilitation of an army OF
nearly four million is a task of many
months, no matter how expeditiously it may
be performed.
In the environments and other military
quarters on this side of the water. there are
approximately a million seven hundred thou
sand men, every one of whom must be physi-
cally examined and given a clear accounting
before he can be discharged. AT each camp,
moreover, a certain contingent of troops
must be retained to look after Government
property and supplies and keep things in
readiness for the returning Expeditionary
forces.
"over there" We have about two and a
quarter million men. If the European sit
uatfon continues as orderly as now, at least
a million of these can be spared for early
homecoming. But think of the transporta-
ton problems involved in moving a million
men across three thousand miles of ocean,
and OF the well-nigh innumerable Difficult
ties incident 10 their departure and arrival
So tremendous a task could not be under
taken without full preparation. and that re-
Guires time.
Better a wait Of many weeks or months
pow than the careless haste which would
imperil health and lead to wilderness of
troubles later on. The Government has
shown high efficiency in getting the boys to
Europe; it viii be no less efficient, we have
reason to hope, in getting them promptly
and securely home. Patience is now more
than ever virtue and necessity.

The Cost of Poor Roads.

Apropos of Mr.. Hoover's estimate that ff-
ty per cent of the country's perishable prod
uce is wasted through inability to market
it on account of poor highways, the New
York Herald recalls the Congressional in
vestigation of four years ago which showed
that ''even then the American people were
suffering loss of five hundred million dol
lars year through bad roads,
Not only in perishable produce but in al
most every kind of farm product are there
wastes and losses, amounting in the aggre-
gate to stupendOus sums, as a result of ill
kept and inadequate highways. Every mile
of poor roads adds to the cost of agricultural
transportation and thus works to the detri-
ment of producers and consumers alike. It
is officially computed, for instance, that i'm
proved roads would save upwards of ten mil
lion dollars year in the cost of hauling
wheat, upwards of five million in the cost
of hauling cotton, and some thirteen million
in the cost of hauling corn. These amounts,
if conserved, would go partly to the farmer
as increased values and partly to the public
as reduced prices, thereby promoting the
common prosperity.
The federal Office of Public Roads vouches
for the story of Tennessee farmer living a
few miles from Bristol who had a hundred
bushels of Irish potatoes which he intended
to market during the winter. Owing to bad
roads, he was unable to get the potatoes to
town and they rotted in his cellar. At that
very time, potatoes were selling in the city
at unexampled prices and were being i'm
ported by the carload from distant regions
Situations like this are common to almost
every State and are equally harmful to rural
and urban interests
When it is observed that there is total
of Approximately two and a half million
miles of roads in the United States and that
the majority of them are far from what thew
should be, while many are in wretched con-
dition, the Importance of highway develop-
ment appears truly inestimable

Farm l. ab0r in Georgia.

The Albany Herald truly observes that
while Georgia farmers are heartily willing
to do all they can to relieve the world s
dearth of food and are also naturally desir-
Gus of large harvests for the high prices GER
tain to prevail, still they cannot ignore the
fact that farm labor is scarce and is likely
to continue so for some time" This prob
lem is of wide import to urban as well as
rural interests, because our common pros
perity depends now more than ever before
upon the bountiful production of food neces-
saries Living conditions in this country
cannot escape the influence of those in the
world at large. The critical shortage of food
in war-worn Europe requires unprecedent-
ed expectations from America, so that I'M
less our crops are increased pTOportionately
we shall find ourselves in want Or if we
are not seriously in want, the cost of living
already sorely burdensome--wiIl become
insupportable. 1t thus behooves towns
and cities no less than country districts to
consider the question of farm labor, without
which these urgent food needs cannot be
supplied.
Now. while the planting and harvesting
seasons are well in the future, is the time to
plan for emergencies. If the farmer can be
assured of extra help for those special occa-
sions, he can afford to venture a larger acre
age than otherwise would be advisable.
Machinery can do much to make up for lack
of hands, as also can foresight and system
in planting. But there will come days and
weeks when the best equipped and best man.
aged farm to be found will need additional
help. In several parts of the west towns and
cities have worked out thoroughly success
full plans for tiding the farmers over such
exigencies, plans which the Farm Labor Blu
reau of the federal Department of Agri-
culture will gladly explain to any civic Or
ganization interested in such matters Would
it not be an excellent thing in State whose
welfare is so largely involved in agriculture
as Georgia's is for urban communities to
undertake service of this kind?
