WOULD PUSH AND EXTEND
HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT
Secretary Houston Tells Agricultural
Editor That Operations Under Federal
Aid Road Act Must Be Resumed
as Quickly as Possible.

Cooperative highway construction UNI
der the federal aid road act must be re-
sumed as quickly as possible in full
measure, the secretary of agriculture, d.
f. Houston, stated at a conference of
editors Of agricultural journals held re-
Gently IN Washington.
From unexpended balances of federal
appropriations for the last few years,
from state funds beyond what was nee
essary to meet the federal allotment,
and from amounts available during the
current fiscal year, approximately $751;
100000 will be available for expenditure
during the calendar year, Next year, if
all the balances should be expended dur
ing this year, and we should have to rely
solely on the funds accruing next year,
there will be about S20,000,000 from fed
eral appropriations, and probably more
than this amount from state sources, ac-
cording to the secretary's statement. The
states, in addition, will expend sums in
excess of what they have assigned, or
will assign, for federal aid road pro-
iects.
1T seems to me" said the secretary,
that we should take a further step
take this step not only because of the
Importance of good roads, but also be-
cause of the desirability of furnishing
worthy projects on which unemployed
labor during the period of readiustment
may be engaged. There will be many
things suggested for which federal and
state funds will be sought Some of
these will be unworthy. Clearly such
public works as roads are worthy, and
il would be in the public interest to
make available larger appropriations
from the federal treasury to be used
separately or in conjunction with state
and local support
"There need be no delay in the execu-
ton of such a progress The nation has
already provided the machinery in the
department of agriculture and in the
state highway commissions. The federal
aid road act was fruitful Of good legs,
lation, and each state in the union now
has central highway authority with
power and funds to meet the terms of
the federal act The two agencies, in
conjunction, have been engaged in de-
vising well-considered road systems and
in making surveys, plans, and specifica
tons. Inc TASK VIII ne one OIL selection,
and those roads should be designated for
Improvement which are of the greatest
economic Importance, with due regard
to such military and other needs as are
proper for consideration. There is no
necessity for any departure from this
scheme The suggestions made have
been canvassed with the president, the
secretary Of war, and the postmaster
general, and they are in accord with the
view that additional funds should be
made available to this department and

Sugar still continues to be one OF the

How England Is Increasing Production of
Food
A grabbed and skepslcal citizen with q
naturally bad dispo3'tiun or sly Ser
man lr)pagandist may be heard 10 ask
"Why does America have to work -
hard TO iced Europe Why aren't hey
producing Their own foodf Not much OF
their Land IS in the hands of the enemy
What is England doingl"
In the first place, America is not work.
ing hard. We are only learning to live
without wasting. We have no serious
deprivations And Europe is producing
food. Every bit Of land in France and
England that is tillable is now used foT
raising grain or vegetables.
But we must remember that we have
taken over the responsibility Of feeding
Belgium, which would actually starye
without us, and that there are two mil.
lions Of our own men in France, England
and Italy, and even in Russia, to whom
supplies must 90 from home.
As TO what England is doing, we have
only to read in the war cabinet report to
learn that she is producing much more
food now than she did two years ago
There are now about 10000 women in
agricultural work in Great Britain Ar
active recruiting campaign was under
taken and provision was made for the
training Of workers by means Of short
courses at colleges, Institutes or on the
farms.
Before the war there were about so ,00C

women employed in agriculture in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales. The great ex-
pansion was due largely 10 the work OF
the volunteer organization of the wom-
ems war agricultural committees, village
registrars and district representatives
There are 100000 more acres under
cultivation now than before 1915, Some
Of this land, under the defense OF the
realm act, was cultivated under orders
from the government. By law the gov
eminent could enforce cultivation of land
when it was discovered that it was not
properly titled
Steps have been taken to survey areas
of land which could be improved by
drainage In Scotland a survey was
made of deer forests With view to re
stocking tracts Of land with sheep.
Other districts which have never be.
fore been used as agricultural lands are
now producing vegetables and grain.
The government has taken possession of
unoccuped land, and allotted it in sec
tions to city residents who would Guilt
vate it in their spare time
The allied food administrators are in
touch with the food situation of the
whole world and the program they have
outlined is for the good of us all Amer
lea is not doing more than her share, In
fact, the burden of war has fallen lightly
upon us. We do not expect to be ra-
toned by compulsion, as the British,
French and Italians are. Our sugar ra
ton of three pounds month, for in
stance, is purely voluntary,
But we are asked as patriotic citizens
of a great republic, fighting with worthy
associates at our side, in the war to con
serve all food by eating less, and to
waste nothing And there is no doubt
that the American people viii meet this
emergency, as they have met others in
the past. Dorothy Dexter.

Washington, March l0.--Germany's
sweeping into Russia is described by
the war departments weekly military
review tonight as another futile at
tempt on the part of the Germans
to shift the center of gravity of the
war, which still remains on the west
front, where the Teutons face the
French, British, Italian and Belgian
armies and the growing Ameri-
can forces. There, the review says
lie the key positions of the war
American troops now occupy
trenches at four separate points, and,
as was recently disclosed, in the prin-
cipal sector their front is four and a
half miles long. They have been
constantly engaged, the war depart.
mcnt says, and the scope of their
activities is being constantly ex.
tended
Nothing is found in the situation
by the department, to indicate that
the Germans have abandoned their
plans for great offensive in tho
west. and it says their allies. while as
suming an alert defensive, are con-
tent to let the enemy break himself
again against their impregnablo
line.
Intense air activities during the
week are noted, with the statement
that PA aircraft were brought down
on the western front alone, while the
allies lost only SO on all fronts
during the same period. The enemy
loss on all fronts is placed at 273.
