canal. The participation Of the M.
tional government In highway improve
ment marked departure from a policy
which had been followed for nearly
q century. Federal cooperation with
the states on approximately 5000"
basis has counted more than any other
factor, says Mr.. Macdonald, in init
ating highway construction that is be-
ing carried on under adequate super
vision, and in accord with program
cO-ordinating local, state and national
needs.
Second only in Importance to the
size of the present road-building pro
gram is the excellence of the char
acter of the roads being built. Sixty
per cent Of the total allotment of fed
eral funds which has been approved
to date will be spent for roads of
such durable types as bituminous con-
crete. Portland cement concrete, and
vitrified brick. These roads, when
built, will increase by 1900 miles the
total Of 14.4OO miles Of roads Of this
class which existed In the United
States. before the federal-aid road law
was passed. But these figures by no
means represent the total mileage af-
fected.
In 1915 the total expenditure for
roads and bridges by all the states and
local governments was $267, 900, 900.
while this year the estimated funds
available for main road construction
are nearly three times that amount,
or 1888, 100000. In all, federal funds
to the amount Of $268, $780, 900 have
been apportioned among As states
without suggestion Of favoritism-
% adequate are the provisions for
Just apportionlnent.
One Of the early and most far-reach-
ing results, directly attributable to the
adoption of the federal-aid program
was the creation Of adequate state
highway departments In II states which
previously had either no state depart
ment, or departments insuficiently
equipped. Within one year after the
passage of the federal-aid road act
more constructive state highway legis-
lation was placed upon the statute
books than had ever been enacted In
q similar period In the history Of the
country.
The insistence Of the government
upon the construction Of federal-aid
roads under the supervision Of engi-
neers Of the state departments has re-
f. suited In placing much larger pro-
portion of road work under skilled
direction. In 1916, the year before
the federal-aid act was passed, only
80 per cent Of the money for roads
and bridges built in the United States
was expended under the supervision
Of state highway departments. This
year these departments will exercise
control over fully 80 per cent Of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building.

and Infested.

Many people say that turkeys are
too hard to raise, and fewer Of them
are raised from the number of eggs
set than any other kind Of fowl. This
Ii almost always because the little
poults are allowed to get chilled or
damp or lousy during the first month
