ACTIVITY IN HIGHWAY WORK
Up 10 July 4, 1919, State Bonds Apare-
eating $224,soo,o00, Had Been
Authorized.

Aside from money to be used COOP
cratively under the federal aid road
act. aggregating nearly $3.50. 0 1000,
some states will expend large sums,
and their several subdivisions will
provide large additional amounts.
ut Is interesting to note that up to
July /, 1870" says the secretary of
agriculture in his annual report.
estate bond issues nggregatins S224.-
100000 had been authorized and ap-
proved by popular vote and that pro-
vision has been made for votiny next
year on proposals for the issuance of
additional state road bonds to the ex-
tent of Approximately $314.O00,OO0.
During the present and the next fiscal
year there will be made available for
road improvement at least 81, ZOO. OOO,-
600. Certainly few laws, If any, have
produced greater results, either in
terms of expenditures for a good pur-
pose or IN terms of helpful legislation
and machinery, than the federal aid
road act. 1t seems clear, in the cir
cumstances, that the principal limit
ing factors in the 1920 program will
be those Of rail transportation for.
and production OF. suitable road ma
terinls, the contractors organizations
available, and the labor supply"

BEING HAULED TO
MARKET IN TRUCK.

The number Of hogs hauled by
the farmers Of western Iowa in
to the s~tockyards at Sioux City,
was 8, 655 for two months in 1917
while for the same period in 1919
the number was 26,195 or an in
crease of over ITO per cent says
one familiar with the situation.
The vice president of the st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, s~tockyards company re-
ports the following data in live
stock hauling by motor truck; In
creases Of 1918 over 1917 in the
case of cattle, 81 per cent in that
of hogs ia per cent and in that
of sheep 10 per cent.
He states that this livestock
is coming in on motor trucks from
a radius Of so miles and ove AL
so that the livestock is in better
condition than it has ever been be-
fore. The increase Of haulage Of
livestock by motor truck is grow
ing so rapidly that this livestock
yards company is putting in new
facilities to handle $500 head Of
hogs per day. AS many as 1000
hogs have been received at this
yard in one day.
At Indianapolis 700 motor trucks
have entered the stockyards in a
single day, having come from dis
tances up to 80 miles. In 1918
indianapolis received 462,318 hogs
by motor truck which number is
19O,329 greater than that received
in the year 1917.
At Omaha the receipts of hogs
for 1918 was 187,6O4 as against
65,922 for the previous year or an
increase of 1874 per cent. In add
ition to this, 25,795 and "A, 447
head of sheep came as far away
as so miles.

The meeting held in St. Paul
ana Minneapolis last week Of the
county officers manifested great
enthnsiasm for the proposed sys-
tenn 81 hard surface roads. Az
the st. Paul Pioneer Press says
editorially, "there are actually no
points for controversary on the
plan itself. It is simply a case Of
good roads against bad roads, and
when the direct or indirect econ
omic advantage of goods roads to
everybody, no matter if he rides
nothing but angle worms and mud
turtles can have any reason for OPP
posin them" In Illinois a similar
proposition placed before the peo-.
pie won by a vote of 100000 to
$4,000, because it vas Endorsed
by everyone and they got out and
worked for it. South Dakota is
nearing the stage Of developmnt
when it will become necessary to
look forward into the future and
provide q like system, not only
as a n economical advantage to it's
citizens, but also to keep in step
with the sister states. To this
end it would not be amiss for the
good roads enthusiasts to start
creating a public understanding
and sentiment of the values so that
when it is placed before them,
they will give it a genuine popul-
ar Enforcement.

ing Job and obligation Of members
Of The American Legion to-day is
to get before the public the facts
surrounding the stand taken by the
Legion for national legislation
which will assis: the Millions of ex-
service men In the United States in
re establishing themselves.
Most Of the indifference and re-
sistance to the program Of the Le-
gion is due to misunderstanding
and lack Of comprehension. 1t is
to the interests Of the Legion and
the e~x-service man, and to the
country itself, that the plan Of
beneficial legislation be explained
to the public as explicitly and as
speedily - possible. The most
efficient, most thorough and most
practical method 10 word Of mouth
explanation by members of the
Legion themselves. The proposed
legislation should be made clear to
ali Who do not know ito details.
Primarily tie fact should be
Stressed that the Legion is not ask
ing for ! simple cash payment to
each Of the nations soldiers-that
the provision for cash compensation
ID the fourth and last item on the
list d proposed beneficial legisla-
ton. Il should be made clear that
the Legion asks first Of all for
practical assistance in establishing
the ex-soldier on the farm; second.
ia helping him establish himself in
home; and third, in assisting him
iii learning a vocation. Cash re-
mnueration is subordinate to all
these, and the provisions are such
that II will be to the interests Of

Three-Year-0ld Peach Tree Pruned
for Full Crop.
Oped from shoots. That is, In the
young apple tree the shoots of n sea-
son become the limbs Of the next sea-
0 n Consequently any practice which
promotes q strong, vigorous shoot
growth in the young tree is a direct
aid in building Its framework. It is
a well-established fact that compare
lively heavy pruning is a great stimu-
liant to shoot growth, a stimulant In
the sense Of causing larger and strong
words, while heavy pruning does not
cause the tree to produce more total
shoot growth, 1t reduces the number
OF new shoots and those which do
grow are correspondingly longer and
stockier. In the very young trees we
expect to retain only a few shoots,
enough to form the main scahold limbs
and their branches, and we want these
to be as strong and vigorous as pos
sible. Hence we desire only a few to
form, perhaps twice as many as we
wish to retain, thus giving us a choice
in order to secure their best possible
distribution from the viewpoint OF
training. -~.sss
Prune Severely. $500
In the case Of the tree q little older
(three or four years., W. expect to
retain q larger number and also q larg-
er proposition Of the shoots because
then we are developing the branches
and sub-branches Of the scaff0ld limbs;
and we still want enough shoots pro-
duced so that some choice may be
made between them. With these gen.
eral considerations in view 1t becomes
evident that the very young tree should
be pruned severely, but as it becomes
older and larger pruning decreases In
severity. 1t is impracticable to at
tempt to reduce this general principle
all trees. Good judgment should be
exercised in it's Interpretation. How
ever. 1t may be a Kind Of a guide to
some to state that the amount Of prun-
ing to be given after the first years
growth in the orchard should in aver
age cases remove perhaps three
fourths Of the shoot growth of the
preceding year; the second pruning
should remove perhaps two-thirds OF
the shoot growth Of the second sea
son; the third pruning should remove
Il half to two-tllirds Of the shoot
growth Of the third season, and the
fourth pruning probably should re
move something less than a half Of
the shoot growth Of the fourth season.
Pruning the fifth and sixth seasons
should be somewhat less severe.

When it is suggested shat the first
pruning should remove approximately
t~hree-fourths Of the shoot growth
made By the tree during its first year
IN the orchard, this does not NEAR

should be cut out OF the tree. Prob

Forest City School Notes.

At a special meeting of the Board
OF Education last Friday afternoon,
the Brush College district was annex
ed to the Forest City district for school
purposes. The present term of school
will be completed in that district un-
interrupted by the change. As there
Is only a seven-months' term contract
ell for, pupils now enrolled in that
school may come TO the Forest City
schools for the additional two months,
without payment of tuition, as they
now belong to this district. High
school students who have paid tuition
for the entire term and who were resi-
dents Of the Brush College district,
are now entitled to refund of tri-
ton paid, covering the time since the
annexation, March s. We trust that
people in the new part of the district
will begin to feel that they are now
members of this district and that they
will cooperate with us in advancing
the cause Of education to every boy
and girl in the community. We need
and appreciate your help.
The teachers meeting scheduled for
Forest City next Saturday afternoon,

possibly they might have become
confused and muddled up, in their pre-
dictions, and probably we would have
