ROADS
WAR DEVELOPING OUR ROADS
One Of Most Important Benefits will
Be Distribution Of Farm Products
by Motors.

Zone of the most important benefits
OF the war to America is going to be
the development of transportation Of
farm products to markets by means of
motor trucks" remarked r. G. Watts
Of st. Louis, highway engineer, while
In Washington the other day. IF any
one had told us five years ago that mo-
tor vehicles would be utilized for NOV.
Ing products and machinery as they
have been used In the last twelve
months. he would have been thought
crazy, yet Charles Schwab, the new
head Of the fleet corporation, is Civ
Ing practical demonstration of how
to do things by transferring a large
part Of his Office equipment to Phila-
delphia by motor trucks. The high
ways Of the country have been taken
over by the people for hauling goods
which could not be hauled during the
period of congestion by the railroads.
In the whole history Of transportation
the highway has been the patient
drudge, but suddenly the motor truck
has come to the front and supplied for
the roads what the steam engines sup
ply for the railways, and this has
brought about many new conditions,
which will develop into many other
new and marvellous results:
ITO my mind, the most important
will be the distribution of farm prod
ucts by means Of motor vehicles. We
know that the farmers have always re-
lied upon the railroads for the move
ment Of their products long distances.

German CarnouhaQe.

A British air officer, writing from
the western front, says that the Ger
mans have this spring brought CAM
outage to a state of artistic perfection
taht is almost incredible. 1.-The most
expert and highly experienced airmen
are often deceived even when flying
low" ne writes. "As a first step, the
German military authorities sought
suggestions from the most distin-
guished German artists in color. AS
next step, every available man was
turned on to, the business of carrying
out the artists ideas. Miles OF canvas
painted to look like roads were con-
strlcted, under which regiments could
march without being seen. Paper en-
canpments were improved and aero
drolnes, woods, villages and factories
Of purely fictitious character were
set up merely to distract observers and
to cover the movements Of troops and
guns. Nothing on so vast a scale mas
ever been ATTEMPTED before"

ENCOURAGE BOY OR GIRL.

Poultry growing is one Of the
nations most important indus
tries.
Poultry growing in connection
with general farming yields a
) larger margin of profit than
most other branches of agricul-
ture.
Poultry growing is certain to
become increasingly important
and is likely to become increas-
ingly profitable.
Poultry growing is not a cas-
ual matter in which one may be
successful without study and
effort. Anything like a large
measure Of success in poultry
growing requires expert knowl-
edge.
The United States department
of agriculture, through its boys
and girls poultry club work, is
imparting to thousands of boys
and girls expert information
that will contribute largely to
their success in life.
Encourage your boy or girl to
join poultry club-and encour-
age your community, if it has
not club, to organize one.
You will be contributing to
the success and prosperity both
Of your child and your neighbor-.
hood.

shows. these poultry club members are
now demonstrating in many instances
their ability to judge poultry and to
carry on the various phases Of poul-
try work such as setting hens, operat-
ing an incubator, preserving eggs,
caponizing cockerels, killing and dress
ing fowls for market. There were 1O4
exhibits held where 624 members ex-
hibited $3.50 birds and 329 dozens of
eggs. The total value of special and
cash prizes awarded to the members
making these exhibits amounted to
$3,O9O.75.
Features of Work.
Another feature of poultry club work
that has been inaugurated is that of
holding short courses at various state
schools and colleges for the benefit of
poultry club members who have made
a good showing in their work. On such
occasions members are sent to one Of
the state schools with all expenses
paid and there given a course of in
struction in poultry. Such courses not
only provide a 7aluable course of in
struction, but promote the various
forms Of amusement in a more favor
able attitude toward education and
what the social side of farm life can
be made to be. Another feature that
is being taken up is poultry manage
ment contests. These contests are con-
Quoted by the poultry club agents and
seemingly are going to arouse much
enthusiasm among the club members
and will be the means Of their obtain
ing most practical course Of instruc-
ton and the proper methods Of ham
ding and caring for poultry.
Girls and boys poultry clubs are a
proven instrument of value in the for
ward movement in nationwide poultry
culture, not only on account of the
very satisfactory development, but
more especially in the manifest en-
thusiasm displayed by the boys and
girls.
