Ths tremendous increase in the
number of trucks operating on Amer
lean roads both city and country high
ways has made the highway problem
one Of the most vital before the motor
transport field today. II the motor
truck operator does not cooperate
with the public in the proper protec-
tion of the highways and OF traffic
in general public will take steps to
protect itself that will not be any
thing but antagonistic to the ebst in
terests of the motor truck owners.
The highway transport committee Of
the Council Of National Defense has
taken up this problem in earnest with
a hope to secure uniform highway
traffic regulations and directions for
the prevention of accidents.
Various States and cities have taken
up the problem Of maintenance Of ade-
quats highways, charging that truck
traffic has worked havoc with the
roads, and that the truck must be
forced to pay for the use Of the road
such payment to be usually By
heavy tax and sometimes a tax far
out of proportion TO the damage done
or the use OF the road.
rstandardIEatIOn Of Regulations
The suggested regulations for high
way traffic as prepared by the Fed
eral committee include no radical
proposals., but are merely a standard
ization Of regulations already in ef-
feet in many cities and country dis
tFicts. The national committee in
issuing its proposed standard regula-
tions says that the first need Is for
lations. The automobile or truck
driver can eb punished II he violates
the police regulations, but it is far
more difficult to regulate the pedes-
trian. Some cities punish pedes-
trians who do not regard the traffic
regulations, but such cases are few
and far between.

tions IL the prescribing Of the differ

nifty and particularly to those who
live in rural communities, is shown
in interesting fashion in an article
which appeared recently in Modern
Medicine.
It is pointed out by the writer that
there are fewer doctors, fewer
nurses, and practically no hospital
facilities in the rural districts. In
some communities, even in older
States, there is only one physician
to 1900 people.
The reason is found in the fact
that lack Of means Of getting around
presents a hardship which most
young doctors do not care to face
when urban practice Is at hand
With better roads and highway trans
portation facilities this will be over
come, and the authority who writes
the article says that as soon as
better highways become general the
tendency will be toward rural rather
than urban practice.

Then it was pointed out that on ac-
count Of the scarcity and high price
Of labor, the high prices Of everything

That policy brought the biggest re-
turns under war conditions. The same
plan should be pursued this year.
Prices for everything that go into max
ing the crop are still on war basis,
consequently every acre planted should
be put into condition to yield well. II
is no time to endeavor to improve the
poorest fields. That should be deferred
until the prices of labor and fertilizer
again become normal. 1t will then be
most practicable If done as supple
nent to farming better land. This year
every stroke of work should be made
to count on the best land of each farm,
SO that good yields may offset the
high expense of putting in the crops

FEED BOXES AND HAY RACKS
Faulty Construction Cause Of Animals
Not Getting Feed Intended
for Them.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
In many instances animals do not get
the feed actually intended for them,
due to improper and faulty construc-
ton Of boxes and hay racks. Many
feed boxes are so shallow and small
that much feed is wasted as the ami.
mails eat from them. In order to pre-.
vent this waste the feed boxes should
be repaired. They should be at least
1S inches wide and "a inches long and
II to IA inches deep. 1t is often ad-
visable to feed the concentrates with
silage to prevent waste.
Hay racks should be constructed to
prevent animals from tossing or pull
ing hay under their feet. All hay
racks should have a tight bottom to
prevent the loss of leaves and finer
particles Of hay. The leaves Of hay,
especially Of the legumes, contain most
Of the protein and are, therefore, that
part Of the roughage which the ami.
mails need. A few hours work in re-
pairing boxes and hay racks, and at q
very small cost, will result in saving
sufficient feed to maintain the animals
in satisfactory condition.
