ALL RECEIVE SOME Benefit
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
to Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads of the great pro-
ducing zones of this country are i'm
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but to consumers. When
marketing Is distributed throughout
the year, storage charges must decline.
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on foodstuffs. The dis
advantages Of freight congestion in the
fall cannot he entirely eliminated in
many places. but good roads will GER
tainly have a marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling over longer periods.
It Is reasonable to say, therefore,
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged, the area
Of profitable production increased. the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform distribu-
ton Of farm products secured.

IMPROVED
HIGHWAYS
INCREASE IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
Cars Over 1918-Roads Must
Be Maintained.

That the present interest In the con-
struction of new highways should not
divert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved is
a point which the bureau of public
roads, United States department of ag-
riculture, has had occasion to empha-
size many times in recent months, par
ticularly In view Of the enormous in
crease in motor vehicle traffic which is
taking place The bureau recently
completed compilation Of statistics
from all the states of the Union show
ing that there were total of 1866 446
registered motor cars (ncluding motor
cycles and trucks) In the United
States in 1919. This is an Increase of
% per cent, or 1,41S,S29 motor cars
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, 1t is pointed
out, and in consequence added atten-
ton must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase In the number of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered in the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use Of roads and streets
has, of course, been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments in the form of IL
cense fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles, trucks, and motor cycles In
use in 1919 totaled 1914 697 ,255 .58-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The
total revenues for New York and Penn
sylvania the past year were about dou-
bic the revenues received for all mo-
tor vehicle registrations and licenses
in the entire United States in 1912.

sas Agricultural Experiment Sta

Deep interest in the success Of Kan
red wheat reported from Kansas is be-
ing shown by specialists of the bureau
of plant industry of the United States
department of agriculture. According
to reports this years acreage of Kan
red is estimated by Kansas authorities
TO have been about 100000 acres. OF
this total area 1900 to 10000 acres,
grown by selected farmers, have been
carefully inspected in the field by rep
resentatives of the Kansas agricultural
college and certified as furnishing
sources of seed of high quality and
purity.
Kanred is variety of hard red win
ter wheat developed by the Kansas ag
ricultural experiment station. 1t was
obtained by selection from the Cri-
mean variety of hard red winter wheat
introduced from Russia by the bureau
Of plant industry Of the federal de-
partment of agriculture and widely
grown in Kansas and adjacent states.
1t was developed by the Kansas sci
entists with special reference to condi-
lions there and has proved to be bet
ter yielder by three to Ave bushels to
the acre compared with other hard red
winter wheats. It's better yield is due
in part to greater resistance to winter
killing and to rust and in part to It's
slightly earlier ripening, say special
lists of the department.

Application Of Limestone.
Limestone ground to pass through
a ten-mesh screen, all finer particles
included, is recommended by the de-
partment Of agriculture for the COM
mon application of two tons to the
acre. Either very finely pulveriZed
limestone or burnt lime is recommend
ed. where an application of only few
hundred pounds to the acre is to be
made. For general use in the more
humid portions of the country it ad
vises an application Of one to two
tons of ground limestone to the acre,
or one-half that amount Of burnt
lime, once in a rotation of not more
than five years unless actual test
proves this unnecessary. For alfalfa
and permanent pastures. an initial APP
plication Of double these amounts
should be made. Lime may safely be
used at any point In the ordinary farm
rotation without serious loss of the
material. If applied in connection
with titled crops, its mixture with the
soil will be insured. The effects Of
lime are likely to be in proportion to
the thOroughness with which IL IS
mixed with the soil In which the crop
roots develop.

three times each year to some of the
quick-growing grain crops, putting a
temporary fence half foot from the

fowls off Of the growing crop until the

LOCATION OF POULTRY HOUSE
important Factors to Consider Ars
Convenience, Good Drainage
and Yard Space.

The factors of Importance TO be
considered in selecting the site for the
poultry house are convenience of loca-
ton. nature Of soil, good water and air
drainage, and large amount of yard
space or available grass range. In the
matter of convenience the poultry
house should be located near the other
farm buildings and within reason
able distance Of the dwelling house,
but not SO near the house that the
poultry will become nuisance where
they have free range by roosting on
the porches. A southern or southeast
ern exposure should be selected, put
ting the house, If possible, on knoll
or elevation of the ilnd where the
water and air drainage are good. 1t is
very important that the land be well
drained, so that it will always be dry
around the poultry house. Where
there is good water drainage, the air
drainage is also usually good, while II
the poultry house is located in low
place, cold and frosty air tends to set

very undesirable site for the location
of the poultry house.
In regard TO soil one must be rela-
lively influenced by the kind Of soil
on the farm, but If possible, select
site which has a sandy loan soil and
one that is well drained. Avoid
heavy clay soil or Il very light sand.
The land should be heavy enough to
grow good grass and green feed and
not burn up quickly In hot weather.
A heavy clay which does not drain
properly and which remains cold and
wet late in the summer is very unde-
sirable.
Free range is the ideal condition I'M
der which TO keep poultry, where 1t is
possible. On many farms the gardens
can be fenced. allowing the poultry
free range, provided the poultry house
is erected at n suitable distance from
the dwelling house or from the crops
which would he materially injured by
the fowls. Where only a very limited
range is available and the fowls must
be kept yarded. ii Is advisable to ar

yards, growing one yard to green

LITTLE TROUBLE WITH GEESE

Geese should be easier TO raise than
