traffic in relatively light vehicles. SINH
lar conditions applied along the Lin
coin highway in New Jersey.
The argument Is advocated at this
time that, despite the inclination Of
local authorities to do everything
within their power in a patriotic en-
deayOr to further wartime interests,
1t Is scarcely fair to expect the county
and state authorities to maintain
such main travelled routes as the
Lincoln highway, In their pre-war con-
dition, under the heavy traffic of con-
stantly moving government vehicles.
Government aid is solicited to keep
the roads at their best.
So persistent have become COM
plants to congress that the highways
Of the country have been badly dam
aged by motortruck traffic that some
members. especially those serving on
committees dealing with the nations
financial affairs, are making a thor
ough study to determine how the stu
alton can best be met. AS result 1t
Is expected that congress will soon re-
ceive requests to make appropriations
running into the millions. The house
committee on ways and means has al
ready given some consideration con-.
corning aid to be given the states
In road Improvement. It is but reason
able to expect that the federal govern
ment will take such steps as are nee
essary for an equitable apportionment
Of the burden Of expense of maintain
Ing such important routes of travel as
the Lincoln highway.

MAINTENANCE IS 4 PRoBL EM
Under Constant Flow Of Heavy Traffic
Main Trunk Lines Have Been
Badly Broken Up.

Following the extension of the use
Of motortrucks for overland travel in
the endeavor to relieve the railroads
Of the burden Of strenuous wartime
traffic, under which they have been
labOring, it is but natural that the
question of highway maintenance
should come up for attention at this
time.
1t is now conceded that much has
been done through the use Of motor.
propelled vehicles over the through
connected highways Of the country
for the purposes mentioned above.
Literally thousands Of heavy motor.
trucks are now upon the road, mate.
rally speeding up the delivery of war
time necessities. The Lincoln high.
way, particularly in the Eastern states,
has proved its high value over and
over again; other trunk highways have
also been called upon to carry an ex-
cepti0nal burden of this freight traffic.
This movement has all been car
ried on with the absolute approval of
the federal government, and more,
through the activities of the highway
transport committee of the council of
national defense, a further extension
of this use Of our public highways is
being urged.
Under this constant flow Of traffic
the Lincoln highway, and certain other
roads in the East, are rapidly break
ing down, the road surface rapidly dis
migrating under the pressure Of the
driving wheels of the massive trucks.
Up to the time when truck trains were
started over the roads, the Lincoln
highway in its entirety across the
state of Pennsylvania, was a veritable
boulevard; it's surface was, in the
main, macadam: the road was the
pride of the state of Pennsylvania;
large sums were expended in its care

LABOR SAVED IN HAYMAkING
Scarcity Of Man Power Neeessitates
General Use Of Certain Types Of
Labor-saving Machinery
Horse Solves Problem,

prepared By the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Thousands of young men have. been
called to the colors, and on many farms
this results in a scarcity Of labor. The
problem Of the hay grower is how to
handle his crop with a smaller crew
than hitherto, and one often mostly
Of middle-aged men and boys. With
methods used heretofore this type of
labor certainly cannot harvest the hay
in the usual time, at least on many
farms in the East and South, where 1t
has been the custom to use compare
lively large amount Of hand labor in
making hay.
Solution Of Problem.
Although there is a scarcity of man
labor, there are still plenty Of horses
on most farms, and herein lies the So
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-08-23

This Method Saves Much Hard Werk
in Hay Making.
luton of the problem. On farms where
considerable hay Is grown methods
must be adopted by which the greater
part of the heavy labor is done by
horses. This will necessitate the gen.
eral use of certain types Of labor-sav-
ing machinery, some Of them not so
common in the East, which have been
thoroughly tested and proved satisfac-
tory in the western part of the United
States. The small hay grower. how
ever, need not make a very heavy in
vestment in new haying apparatus, for
by re-arranging the work of his crew
and using little more horse labor for
the hard work, he can add consider
ably to the efficiency of his crew.
The time of day when the mower is
started has a direct bearing on the
amount Of hay made per day and the
number Of men required. This is es-
pecially true on farms where 1t is the
custom to haul or stack hay in the af-
ternOon only. II moving is done In
the morning and raking in the after
noon, more men and horses than usual
will be required, and If moving and
raking are both done in the afternoon,
still, more men and horses will be
needed. :.
. Use Larger Mowers.
The 5-foot cut is the most common
size used In the East. With the pres
ent scarcity of labor, it will be econ
omy to use larger mowers; 6. Z, and
even 8-foot sizes can be used on a
great many farms. Some idea of the
time saved by using these larger sizes
may be had when the difference In the
amount of work done by each is known.
Under average conditions, a 5-foot
mower will cut ten acres in ten hours,
q 6-fOot mower will cut IL acres, a z.
foot ii acres. and an 8-foot about 16
acres in ten hours. It should be borne
In mind that more power Is required
for the wider cuts. Many alfalfa grow
ers are using the S-foot cut with good
success. and make a practice of now
ing early in the morning before the
dew is off, or even during light rain.
1t does not pay to wait until the dew
is off. before starting the mower, If
the tedder is used to "kick" the water
out of the hay. The size of mower
used and the time of day it is started
are the most important factors in crew
arrangement. The use of the tedder
and rake are next in Importance, and
these three implements should be kept
clearly in mind when attempting to
solve the problem Of how to make q
small crew efficient.

Figures compiled by the State
Board of immigration show that
there is approximately 100000 acres
of land in Colorado that cannot be
classified as to ownership. A very
large percentage of this is homestead
land that has been filed upon and
not yet patented, but this item does
not account for all the discrepancy.
There are two counties in the state,
Lake and Hinsdale, which show more
land in the various classiications
than is included in the county areas,

The discrepancies are no doubt due
