UNITED WAR WORK
November II to 10.

Wayne County Quota-$1oo,oo 900.
The real test OF the patriotism OF
Wayne county will come during the
approaching United War Work
Campaign. 1t cannot be said that
Wayne county is patriotic merely
because she has oversubscribed the
Liberty Loan; subscriptions to the
loan were but evidence of good
business, for the subscriber was
making an investment in the best
non-taxable security in the world.
We are now to have the opportun-
ity to add to the comfort of those
who fight for our cause and to give
relief to those who have suffered
from the struggle.
The United War Work Fund will
enable the boys over there to have
real Christmas. Although the
sending of Christmas packages has
necessarily been restricted, still the
Y. NJ G.. A.. the Knights of Column
bus and the other associations
which will be furnished money
from the United War Work Cam
paign can make happy Christmas
for the boys if we will but sub
scribe the money.

Road Construction
BY EDWARD BARRETT,
State Geolouist.

The proper construction of road
comprises the following elements, viz:
proper materials, width, thickness.
crown. BERN, curves, gradient and
drainage.
The proper relation and coordina-
ton of these elements spells good
roads.
Granting that the above are present
in completed road, what is the next
most important concern of the COM
munity after the completed road has
been thrown open to traffic? We an
swer without hesitation, maintenance.
AS there are important elements in
road construction, SO there are impor-
tant elements in road maintenance.
These may be classified as follows.
viz. dragging. rolling. filling, culverts
and bridges.
The moment a completed road is
opened to traffic. that moment begins
its destruction, and this will be kept
up until the road Is ruined. unless
proper maintenance is kept up.
II a penny wise, pound foolish" pol
Icy is adopted in so far
as road repairs are concerned-it will
mean that for every dollar saved, ten
dollars will have to be spent to make
up for the destruction that will go
on and which will increase alarmingly
In caring for highways-used now
ten times as much as they were a
year ago-nothing could fit the case
so we'll as "a stitch in time saves
nine"
Unless liberal road repairs are per-
mitted all over the country, many high
ways will be absolutely of no avail
when winter comes.
Under the present system there Is
an absolute check upon the money
spent for road repairs. 1t is possible
for any person to consult the records
In the highway superintendent office
and see just where the money has
gone. 1t also insures a personal sup
ervision over the repair work OF the
county highways, and serves to adjust
the distribution Of the funds In the
different districts, thus avoiding the
spending of the taxpayers money with
incompetency and in a careless way.
1t seems certain that the next ses-
sion Of the legislature will create a
state highway department and through
the office Of highway superintendent
SOLupIcIc COOpcIdllOu UcIWccu tHc
state department and counties can be
formed that will prove more valuable
than anything else. Each county has
it's own particular highway problems
to meet and work out, and the type
of road that would be successful in
one county would not necessarily be
entirely successful in another county.
Edwin Duffy. commissioner Of the
New York state highway commission,
which is recognized as having the best
organized and most efficient state high
way department in the country, stated
in an address short time ago that
is the most important civil officer in
the county in the present day of road
building. and the success of the New
York department was due to large
extent to the hearty cooperation re-
ceived from the superintendent.
1t has been exceedingly detrimental
to the highway work of the counties
on account Of the past custom of
changing highway superintendent
every two years. The Office of high
way superintendent should be remov-
ed from politics.

Miss Bass opened her mouth very
wide in surprise as Mrs. Perch was
not usually so severe. But perhaps it
was the heat, thought Miss Bass. So
she forgave Mrs. Perch and went on

asing It in the trenches? Every sol
dier on going to the firing line takes
with him one or more burlap bags.
During the day, as the embankments
are worn down by continuous shell
6re, these bags are filled with earth
or sand and then at nightfAll are
thrown up to repair the parapet.
Here 1t is not question OF convent
ence-it Is question of necessity.
The boys In the trenches must have
first call on the burlap supplies.
The larger bags even have certain
advantages. When emptied they may
be used to carry crops from the field
to the bin or crib; a Compound bag
holds two bushels Of potatoes. Very
few men ever carry two sacks Of po-
tatoes in a single trip, even though
each sack contains but one bushel.
On the other hand most men can cas-
lily carry two bushels when they are
in the same bag, and hence do this
part of their work more rapidly. So
1t happens that the large bag becomes
very real labor saver and this at a
time when all farmers must cut cor
ners to make most productive labor
supply all too short.
There are other advantages for the
larger bag. 1t is much more useful
as wrapping material than are the
smaller sizes. 1t can be cut up for
packing purposes, and used in other
ways. Once farmer becomes accus-
toned to this size he never returns to
the smaller sizes. Whole states in the
south have for years used nothing but
the 200-pound Size.

REDUCING SOFT CORN LOSSES.

The 1917 corn crop is very poor in
quality. Much of it is soft, so soft
that it fails to keep in storage. A re-
cent crop report from the United States
Department of Agriculture indicates
an average condition of 1872 for the
1917 corn crop over against an 81 per
cent average for the last ten years;
this valuing mature corn at 100.
Early frosts and cold, late growing
seasons are responsible for much of
the soft corn loss in the corn belt. We
cannot control the weather but by
proper cultural methods. we can hasten
maturity of the corn by from one to
two weeks, thus ripening the crop be-
fore the arrival of disastrous frosts.
Cutting short the growing season of
the crop seven to fourteen days will
in the majority of cases, make nine
ears out of ten marketable instead of
two ears out of three as during the
past season.
Proper Varieties Essential.
One great cause for the large amount
of soft corn produced is the planting
of varieties which are not adapted to
climatic conditions under which they
are grown In our fervor for bigger
crops, we have often gone South for
J large yielding varieties which require
longer growing seasons than prevail
in most sections. of the corn belt. Most
of these varieties are large-eared and
weigh heavily because they contain q
larger percentage of moisture than our
northern grown varieties, and thus
| mislead the farmer but not the grain
dealer, for much of the grading is done
on basis of moisture content.
Balanced Plantfood insures Crops.
Perhaps the biggest reason for the
large amount of soft corn produced in
1917 and in other years, is the lack
of sufficient available plantfood in the
soil to give the crop quick start to
enable 1t to take advantage of every
growing day and to properly fill the
ears and hasten maturity. All Other
conditions being equal, the use of suffi
cient amounts Of well-balanced. avail
able plantfood will shorten the grow
ing season of corn crop from ten t
fourteen days. This ten to fourteen
\ days often means difference between
q crop Of marketable ears and crol
which ls hardly worth harvesting
