CARING FOR COUNTRY ROADS
Heavily Loaded Wagons With Narrow
Tires Are inIurious-PIace Har-
rows on = Drag.

CBy e. B. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins. CoIo)
Excessive loads placed on wagons
with narrow tires are exceptionally
bad for any road. Tractors using
wheels upon which are cleats. or any
thing that will cut through or injure
the road surface should never be al
lowed on country roads. Disk har
rows and in fact any cultivating tool
should be kept off the road. If it
is necessary to move them along the
road. place them upon a drag. stone
boat. or haul them to the field on a
wagon. If dragged over the road,
they will scar the road badly. break
through the surface and start disin-
tegratiOn- No road is in such poor
condition as to warrant abuse of this
kind.

IMPORTANT AFTER-WAR, TASK
| SEEN FOR INDUSTRIES BOARD
Seems Certain to Continue and Play Big
Role in Readjjusting Nation Business.
Other Agencies Will Also Have Part.

As a factor in the monumental task
of reconstruction. to follow tho war.
tho War Industries Board seems GER
tain to continue in existence and to
play a large part in the transforma-
ton Of war manufacturing back to
peace time production. This is one
feature Of the governments program
for easing the nations business from
the pitch of war to the pursuits of
peace without convulsing it in the
process. In, sense. the program is
tentative, because its formulation has
just begun. Nevertheless the plan
ming for peace is giving all govern
ment agencies in Washington these
days material for as systematic
thought as the prosecution Of war.
Industrial reconstruction, next to
rehabilitation of the Army, is prob
ably the most important phase of
these plans. How to stop the manu-
facture of shells. of guns. of Army
and Navy supplies, without stopping
them, and to furnish new work for
these wheels, is a problem which
agencies of the War Industrial Board
will be called on to solve. This means
that the hundreds of industrial and
commercial leaders who have been
called to Washington will have to
continue their services for essential
peace work, or substitutes for them
be found.
Will Need Guide Then.
Manufacturing plants which now
look to the War Industries Board for
assistance in obtaining materials and
which in turn comply with the force
full suggestions of the board eventu-
ally will call on some government
agency to guide them during the
process of facing about toward peace
production. The War Industries Board
is the only agency equipped with the

formation to give this guidance. For
that reason, the officials in>. closest
touch with currents of ideas within
the government insist that the War
Industries Board will continue in ex-
istence indefinitely after the war, re-
gardless of when the war ends.
Officials intimate that means will be
found of continuing the current plans
Tor eliminating strikes, Of giving la
Dor greater voice in the management Of
industrial plants and Of extending both
labor and trade declarations to pro-
gest that the government, through the
War Finance Corporation, may aid in
the conversion Of industries from war
to peace footing, reversing the exist
ing priority Of war enterprises Rail-
road transportation. industrial produc-
ton and ocean shipping must be CO.
ord1nated and supervised for a few
years after peace comes as they have
been during the war, in the opinion of
government leaders. Employment
churches and other social organizations
must cooperate to facilitate the plac-
ing of returned soldiers in the occu-
pations. where they are best fitted and
most needed.
Also Likely to Continue.
To do all this it is the belief in many
official circles in Washington that most
government agencies which have
sprung up during the war must con-
tinue to function for an indefinite time
afterward. These include the War In
'dustries Board, Shipping Board, War
Trade Board, food and fuel administra-
tons, War Labor Board and the War
Labor Policies Board, numerous divis-
ions of the Council of National De-
tense, War Finance Corporation and
many other connected agencies. The
months to live after peace is signed,
unless future legislation should change
existing plans for restoration of rail-
roads to private control. The Red
Cross, Young Mems Christian Assoc

ice and similar institutions will have
