Green food for poultry may be pro
vided throughout the year in large part
of the country by using two yards al

one yard while another crop is growing
in the second yard. The following plan
is suggested by poultry specialists of the
United States department of agriculture,
as adapted to moderate climatic condi-
tionS. The crop grown should be the one
hest suited to the particular locality.
For the extreme north or south the dates
should be modified. Thickly sown crops

FIRST GOVERNMENT MONEY
FOR ROADS RECEIVED

The state highway department re-
ceived three government checks yes
terday totalling about $40,OO000 to
apply on the cost of construction OF
Federal aid road projects. This is
the first remittance the department
has received from the government for
road projects. The money applies
to Federal aid projects Nos. 3 in Santa
Fe County, 5 in Quay County, and
Is in Dona Ana County. The Fed
er ! government is using great care
in checking up everything from the
time a road project is initiated until
the first payment is made after con-
struction is actually under way. Pro-
ject No. illustrates this. Project
statement was submitted by the New
Mexico Highway Department Octo-
Der 3, 1917. This was approved by
the Bureau of Public Roads Decem-
Der n, 1917. Plans and estimates
were submitted April 20, 1918 and ap-
proved June p, 1918. Construction
has been under way for some time.
The first payment by the government
has just been received. Ii is taken
for granted that as the work of the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads is
now well organized in the future
Federal projects will require less
time TO reach the construction stage.
