DURABLE ROAD SAVES MONEY
Saving Of Eight Cents Per Ton Mile
Can Be Effected in Transporta-
ton Costs Alone.

The report Of the joint congression-
al committee which investigated high
way economics in 1914 shows that a
saving of eight cents per ton mile can
be effected in transportation costs
when a road is lifted from the dirt to
the durable class. This does not take
uations or social advantages resulting
from the Improvement.

loose stones in the holes is a sheer
waste of time, because after few
automobiles and trucks go over the
roads these loose materials are pushed
out again and conditions are as bad
as ever.
Broken stones and tar binder are
the only satisfactory repair materials
for macadam roads, and many i'm
proved country roads are of that type.
1t is beginning to be realized that
concrete or special road brick set in
cement over a concrete foundation
must be used for truck roads designed
to carry heavy truck traffic. Any
thing cheaper and less stable simply
means bad roads and constant repairs.
For laterals or main roads in sparse
ly settled countries where traffic is not
heavy and when the amount available
for road construction is not large, tar
macadam highways are quite satisfac-
tory.

The war and the consequent railroad
congestion imposed heavy traffic bur-
dens upon our highways; burdens, in
fact much greater than the roads were
built to sustain. To make matters
still worse, labor and repair materials
were scarcer during the war, and many
bic condition. AS the preacher would
say, they are "more holy than right

The year 1919 is going to witness an
immense road repair movement. And

EARNINGS OF CLUB MEMBERS
Indiana Boys and Girls Spend Bigger
Part Of Savings for Liberty Bonds
and Stamps.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
What do club boys and girls do with
the money they earn in their work
It is a question frequently asked by
persons who have read of their prof
it's. The question was asked approx
mately $50 boys and girls at the first
annual club roundup of Indiana boy
and girl club members, held recently
at Purdue university in cooperation
with the United States department of
agriculture. It was found that So of
those present owned Liberty bonds,
which they had purchased with their
own earnings; 100 had War Savings
stamps; and practically every one had
bought Thrift stamps. Thirty-one had
started bank accounts with the money
they had made in raising corn, pigs,
calves or poultry, selling canned prod
ucts, or from some other branch of
club work. Eighty-five owned pigs, 46
owned calves, 26 owned sheep, and 81
owned poultry. Definite plans to at
tend college by use of money from club
work had been made by III. 1t WIS
found that of the $50 attending the
meeting, 176 had been engaged in club
work two years; 20, three years; 8.
four years, and four, five years.

RURAL SCHOOLS

ITS IMPORTANCE AS FOOD
One Of Most Widely Cultivated Of Ac-
ricuIturaI PFants-No Crop, Except
Rice, Is Eaten by Larger
Number Of People.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A guide for teachers and pupils of
elementary rural schools in the study
of potatoes has been published by the
United States department of agricul-
ture as Bulletin 784, Lessons on Po-
tatOes for Elementary Rural Schools"
The potato is good subject for study,
says the bulletin, because Of it's i'm
rOrtance of food, wide range of grow
ing territory and it's possibilities for
home project work.
The bulletin contains II lessons, in
Guiding the selection of seed potatoes
IN the field, harvesting and grading,
marketing, winter storage, judging, tu-
Der and plant structure, place of po-
tatoes in the rotation, soils (kind,
preparation, fertilizers), planting and
seed treatment, cultivation, insect
pests and diseases, and uses as food.
With each lesson is given the sources
Of material which may be studied with
the subject under discussion, illustra-
tive material that will help in it's pre-
sentatiOn, class exercises and practi-
cal exercises.
Study Different Stages.
AS potatoes may be secured at any
time of the year, there is no excuse,
says the bulletin, for attempting to
study them without having at hand
specimens which represent good varie-
ties grown in the district. The po-
tatc plant in the field should be stud
led during the different stages of de-
velopment. Especially should the re-
lation of the new tubers to the seed
t,lber and the root system of the plant
be noted. If no plants are available,
diagram showing the plant as a
whole will be useful. Charts showing
the composition of the potato and its
relative food values should also be
made. Pictures clipped from bulletins.

CARE IN. HARVESTING OATS
Crop in Southern States Should Be
Allowed to Stand Until Fully Ripe
Shock Carefully.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Because of the relatively small acre
ages per farm, oats in the South
should be allowed to stand until fully
ripe; that is, until just after the grain
passes out of the hard dough stage.
However, if the area is small and the
cradle is used, the grain may be cut
when passing out of the milk stage,
as it usually is allowed to cure for
a short time in the swath before be-
ing bound and placed in shocks.
Shocking should be done carefully.
Too frequently little or no attention
is given to the method of shocking,
and in the event of storms and rainy
weather much of the grain is damaged,
whereas If the shocks had been well
built and properly capped little dam
age would have occurred. When fire.
quent rains interfere with the curing
of the oats in the shock, it is advised
that shock covers be used if possible.

seed can be profitably grown that as
many acres Of clover be left for seed
as can be used without seriously in
terfering with crop rotation. ! If the
second crop is to be left for seed, the
possibility of a good crop will be
greatly increased if the first crop is
cut early. This is especially true If
there is any danger from the clover
flower nudge. Early cutting Of the
first crop may result in a smaller ton
mage of hay and hay not quite AS
nutritious, but it will destroy the
nudge. If the field is badly affected
with nudge and the larvae have had
time to mature, good seed crop is
out of the question. For further de-
tailed instruction see Farmers Bulle'
tin 971.
In sections where mammoth clover
is grown fields intended for seed
should be rolled. This will cause the
stems to lie close to the ground. The
flower heads will then bend up and
can be harvested, leaving large part
of the clover upon the ground to be
turned under for fertilizer. This will
also reduce the amount of straw nee
essary to handle in hulling.

Importance Of Potato.
In referring to the Importance Of the
potato, the bulletin says 1T is one Of
the most widely cultivated of the ag.
ricultural plants, and next to Indian
corn is the most important contribu-
ton of America to the food supply Of
the world. Probably no crop except
rice is eaten by a larger number of
people. In the more thickly populated
regions of northern Europe the pota-
to is now the most important of hui
man foods, furnishing about 25 per
cent of the food of the continental and
English peoples. Only the oriental
peoples exist without it. Not only are
the tubers used for food, but they have
important industrial uses. AS Ameri-
can population increases, the potato
will become more and more important
in this country, there being no other
crop which will give such large yield
of food suitable for man under such
varying conditions.
