Getting Road Levels Preparatory to
Improving Highways.

ments most needed to meet traffic re-
quirementS, the creation Of large funds
for construction and maintenance and
the establishment in many states of
definite provisions insuring mainte-
nance of highways from the date Of
their completion.
The working season of 1917 marked
the opening Of actual construction
work under the terms Of the poSt-road
provision of the federal act, as neces-
sary legislative and administrative
work made it impracticable to get
construction projects under way ear
lier. On January 81. 1918, the secre-
tary of agriculture had approved 253
individual projects, aggregating 2,S49-
As miles and calling for an expendi-
ture from federal funds Of 1924

of S9,917, 1870, making a total of ST.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Federal-aid road projects, unques-
tionably, are ready for construction In
every state this year. Under the fed
eral-aid road act of 1916 every state
in the Union is now in a position to
cooperate with the federal govern
ment in the building of highways.
Results of far-reaching Importance
and of even greater potential value
than the appropriation of federal
funds have already been accomplished
by the federal act. Among the impress
sive results is the establishment out
right of state highway departments in
Delaware, South Carolina, Texas, In
diana and Nevada and the strength
ening of other state highway depart
ments so as to remove all question as
to the 16 states which were not quail
fled to obtain federal cooperation at
the time of the passage of the federal
act.
In the past winter more construc-
tive state highway legislation has been
placed upon statute books than has
ever been enacted in any similar
period since the American republic
was founded. The conditions laid
down by the federal act as necessary
to participate in it's benefits operated
powerfully to bring about the estab-
lishment and Strengthening of state
highway departments, the placing of
a vast amount of road construction

OF Ida Grove, last Wednesday CON-

of popcorn to local elevator, for
which he received cents pound, not
having contracted previously. This
corn was the output of forty acres and
the total receipts were $4,456.50. 1t
was sold two weeks ago, and hauling
was started then. Mr.. Hilker had
planted some of his popcorn on fall
blowing and some on spring blowing

corn on the fall blowing was in fine
condition but that considerable of the
corn on the spring blowing was soft.

some corn to sell that ranks among
the best brought into Ida Grove from
