HIGHWAY WORK is RESUMED

Secretary Houston.

Sumed the vigorous prosecution OF the
work, and, says David F. Houston,
secretary of agriculture. there is now
no special obstacle TO the cOnstruc-
ton, in the different states of the
Union, Of those roads which serve the
greatest economic needs In his an
nual report, Secretary Houston says:
Good roads are essential to the
prosperity and well-being Of urban and
rural communities alike. They are
prerequisite for the orderly and sys-
tematic marketing Of farm products.
for the establishment Of satisfactory
rural schools, and for the develop
ment Of a richer and more attractive
rural life. Recognizing these facts.
the federal government, through the
passage OF the federal aid road act in
1916, inaugurated q policy OF direct
financial participation In road-building
operations in the various states. This
act appropriated S75.OOO,OOO, to be
matched by an equal amount from the
states, for the construction of rural
post roads over a period Of five years.
and $4,000 OO0-S1, 100000 & year for
10 years-for roads within or partly
within the national forests. Ii re-
CURED each state to have a responsible
central highway commission with the
requisite powers and funds. All the
states have complied with the terms
OF the act, although il was necessary
for them to enact additional legisla-
ton, or to amend their constitutions:
TO provide sufficient funds to match
the federal apportiOnment; and to
strengthen existing central highway
bodies or to create new agencies.
when these preliminary steps had
been practically completed and the de-
partment and the states were about
ready to proceed vigorously with the
actual construction of roads, the

his success principally by the effect on
his bank account. The man who grows
fruit for home use measures success by
the regularity and quality Of the sup

satisfaction of having it fresh and tree

NEED FOR STANDARD GRADES
Bureau of Markets Notes Increasing
Interest in Uniform Grades for
Various Vegetables.

Increasing interest in uniform
grades for fruit and vegetables Is noted
throughout the country by the bureau
Of markets, United States department
Of agriculture, as a result OF the
work OF the food products inspection
service and the experience Of the past
two seasons, which demonstrated the
necessity Of establishing definite stand
ards.
The need for national standard
grades and their value is shown by the
fact that the grades for potatoes, made
compulsory during the war, are still In
wide use, although the regulations
making them compulsory were can
celed after the armistice
Investigations of the grading Of to
matoes, cabbage and some other vege-
table crops are now under way and
the bureau OF markets states that rec
concentrations for grade specifications
may be made in time for use next sea
son.

Great sheep losses come through ex-
