MAINTENANCE COST OF ROADS
Depends on the Small Amount
Needed to Keep It Up.

The cOS of q road involves not only
first cost but the cost of keeping it
in continuously disable condition. If
this We're not SO, the cheaply built
gravel road would be entirely suit
able for our main Travelled thorough
fares. The ultimate Of the
concrete road depends upon the eX-
tremely small amount of money re-
quired to keep it in excellent cOndi-
ton. The only maintenance needed on
a well built concrete road is that nee
essary to keep filled with tar the joints
and the cracks that may develop. The
1919 report of the state commissioner
of highways of New York gives the
average cost of maintenance for the
three years 1915, 1916. and 1917 as fol-
lows: Macadam. $4,000 per mile per
year for the maintenance of .2,40S
miles; gravel, SS24.M per mile per
GEAR for the maintenance of 17S miles +;
first-class concrete, S124.OW per mile

AID NATIONAL FOREST ROADS
Secretary Meredith Favors More Lib
eraI Financial Cooperation in
Western States.

Speaking before highway represent
atiyes for western states, Edwin T.
Meredith, secretary of agriculture,
stated his belief that in the western
states, where large areas of govern
ment lands are located. the federal
government should adopt a system Of
financial cooperation more liberal to
of the country.
81 think we must recognize the face
that the existence of these large areas
of government lands places these
states in a somewhat different situa-
ton from the remainder of the cOun-
would be only equitable for the fed
eral government to increase its per-
centage of cooperation over the
present basis. / am also heartily in
favor Of continuing the appropriations
for the building of national forest
roads. These forests constitute Il
great natural resource, and their
preservation and development is a ma
tional responsibility which ought to
be met in full measure.
Mr.. Meredith advocated active con-.
tinuation of present federal and state
cooperation in connection with state
road systems with the systems Of ad-
joining states In order that the work
ing out of an adequate highway pro-
gram for the whole United States maT
proceed in an orderly manner He
also advocated the continuance of
work now going forward unGer the
federal aid road act.
1921 is the last year covered by
the act he said, ait would be highly
desirable, in my opinion. for congress
to make another provision as promptly

Pay a Long Profit

In the second place, how much profit is
the dealer taking on your transaction?
There is nothing to stop his taking a
good, long one if you'll buy. That's
why some dealers would rather sell pri-
vate brands than Certain-teed.
Any responsible dealer can sell Certain
teed if he plays the game squarely. He
gets a fair profit, but he cannot stretch
it because SO many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Of course, you know what to expect
from C~ertain-teed. 1t is highest quail
ity, guaranteed for S, 10 or IS years, &C
cording to weight, and completely
shelters your property. That's a real buy.
Any reliable dealer can get Certain
teed for you quickly from a nearby
Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He
gets it when he wants it and he gets
what he wants. He can afford to sell
you at a fair price.

Alfalfa %Inoculation OF In
terest To All Farmers.

The question of alfalfa incubation is
coming TO be of greater interest to
all farmers. We receive almost daily
inquiries regarding the purpose, of in
oculation and the methods employed,
says one Of the agents of the Uni
versity extension department. The
indications are hat the greater
majority of alfalfa seed sown this
spring will be inoculated. In Il form
err article we mentioned the methods of
supplying nitrogen to the soil, namely
by manure or by blowing under grow
ing crops, but the means of a perma-
nent supply of nitrogen is through the
nodule forming bacteria which may be
introduced to the soil by inoculating
the seed. All leguminous crops such
as alfalfa. sweet clover, beans and peas
should contain on their roots these no
dulles of wart-like growths which house
the bacteria that take the nitrogen
from the air in the soil and convert it
into n form which can readily be
used by the plant. When these nodules

of using the nitrogen of the air and
is of little more value as II soil build
er than the non-leguminous crops.
The method of seed incubation now
most commonly used is to employ arti-
ficial cultures. These artificial cul-
lures are prepared by the laboratories
in various parts of the country. a
pure culture is Il growth of bacteria
that contains IA certain strain or family
of organis. There is some slight diff
ference in the strain of bacteria that
live on the different plants, for in
stance the strain of bacteria that will
inoculate alfalfa and sweet clover is
not effective on peas or beans
Therefore it is necessary when or
dering "A culture to state h purpose
for which this culture is to be used.
The treatment of seed with this pure
culture is simple and lee not take
a great deal of time. Some people
hesitate to use it for fear it will take
too much time. But even if it will
take considerable time one should not
hesitate in using it. Directions accom
pany each order, so that no mistake
may be made in handling it. The cul-
ture is diluted with water sufficient to
moisten the seed. One or two pints
Of water is all that is necessary for
60 lib. of seed. The amount of water
depends on the size of the seeds The
mOistened seed is mixed thoroughly
with the hands until every seed has Il
film of moisture surrounding it. after
which it is spread out ON IA clean sur
face away from the direct sunlight
TO dry. The seed should then be Sown
and Immediately narrowed in, as
the direct rays of the sunlight will
kill the bacteria. Those that are
planning on inoculating their seed
should order the culture a few weeks
in advance, as the material is made
up fresh before being sent out and will
not keep for any length of time. The
