WORKING ON DIXIE HIGHWAY
In Illinois Improvement VIII Extend
Over Distance of 54.5 Miles
Costing $eo4, 700.

One of the features of the years
work will be the improvement of the
Dixie highway, which will be done
by the states acting in cooperation
with the government. Thus in nli-
nois the highway will be improved
from the county line north through
Will, Kankakee and Iroquois coun-
ties to the Vermilion county line
running south. This work will ex-
tend over a distance of 545 miles at
"a cost OF $9O4,7OO and the construc-
ton will be OF concrete and bitumi-
nous macadam.
At the same time Georgia will be
working on the road from Atlanta
through to Macon, through Clayton,
Henry, Spaulding, Pike and Monroe
counties, a distance Of seventy-tWO
miles and a continuation of the Dixie
line in that state. In Tennessee and
Kentucky projects will be under way
which will further serve to i'm prove
this famous old highway which cuts
through the central section of the
country from north to south.

UNSAFE SOURCES OF
FARM WATER SUPPLY
Streams, Ponds, bitches and
Reservoirs Unsatisfactory.
Temperature Is Not Pleasing and
Presence of More or Less PoIIut-
ing Matter Is certain-Some
Hints on Ice Supply.
prepared by the United States Depart
rnent of Agricultural

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Streams, ponds, irrigation bitches
and small open reservoirs are unsatis-
factory and unsafe sources of farm
water supply. The subject is consid-
cred in Farmers Bulletin 941, water
Systems for Farm Homes" recently
issued by the United States department
of agriculture.
The temperature of such water sell
dom is satisfactory, and the presence
of more or less polluting matter is GER
tain. Often the carcasses of farm ami
mails are found therein. In thousands
of cases the domestic supply is taken
directly from irrigation bitches. In
other instances a ciStern, often without
a filter, is filed at such times as the
ditch water runs clearest. Often open
reservoirs are necessary to collect and
store rainfall for the use of stock, and
occasionally they are used as sources
Of domestic water and ice supplies.
Cnder favorable conditions, where
the basin is large and deep 90 feet or
mOre), the bottom free of mud, muck,
or other organic matter, the surround
ings clean, and the circulation good,
the quality of surface water may I'M
prove by long storage. However, these
conditions are seldom realized on the
farm, and the amount of improvement
