THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY
MORE

There is equity in the demand of
the states in the inter-mountain and
Pacific coats territory that in the
joint construction of improved high
ways the federal government shall
bear such proportions of the cost as
the ratio of public acreage to the to-
tai acreage of the state.
For example, although the federal
government owna more thai nine
tenths of all the land in Nevada the
present law requires the taxpayers
of Nevada to bear healf the expense
of highway construction and all the
expense of preliminary surveys, Or
ganization and administration.
Nevada and other western states
are now requesting congress to mod
ify the arrangement SO that the cost
of construction will be apportioned
between the state and federal gov
ernment on the basis of area of
ownership.
A review of the facts shows that
71.2 percent of all land in Arizona
is still owned by the federal govern
ment; 462 in California; 503 in Col
orado; 682 in Idaho; 439 in Mont
ana; 90.6 in Nevada; 499 in New
Mexico; SO in Oregon; 1913 in Utah
31.7 in Washington and 719 in Wy
oming.
At the third session of the sixty

sixth congress the Sells bill, which
provided for graduated ALLEGATION of
the cost of construction on the basis
of acreage owned, passed the House
by majority of 220 and received AZ
for compared with 33 against in the
Senate. Efforts have been renewed
to have the present congress pass
the bill
1t is a just and fair measure and
should be enacted into law, for it is
manifeslly unfair while owning, in
the case of Nevada, nine-tenths of
all the land in the state, for the fed
eral government to require that
half the expense of constructing
military, post and similar highways
be borne by the state.
The people of states concernen
should urge their senators aud re-
presentatives in congress to press
their cause vigorously. for not only
is it just but unless some such re-
lief or adjustment is effected there
ia danger that in instances like Ne
vada the burden will be too great
for the taxpayer to endure, with the
result that progress in this respect
may be seriously impeded.

BACKYARD FOWLS WILL PAY
St. Louis Woman Writes Department
of Agriculture of Her Success
With Hen Flock.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)

(Prepared by the United States DeparL
ment of Agriculture)
During the war and since the United
States Department of Agriculture has
encouraged the keeping of a poultry
flock in the city backyard as one of
the best means of cutting the high
cost of living.
When proper care has been given
the flock the results in most instances
have been very gratifying. A woman
living in st. Louis recently wrote the
department concerning the success that
attended the efforts.
Il hear people say hens don't pay,
but surely they cannot have kept ac-
counts and records. ! have had a small
flock OF a hens in my city backyard
since the government urged us to get
INTO the game three years ago. The
following are the results for the year
ending October 81, 1920 My entire
feed bill. the grain being bought at
retail, amounted to $66.74
My entire egg production was 3,603
eggs, or 300A dozens, the retail mar
ket- value of which, taken from month
to month, was S189.30 Deducting
S66.74 from the above $1S930 leaves
me net profit of $122.56 for my
work and investment.
"We used all the newly laid eggs
we wished for orr own table and the
balance went to our neighborS, who
are more than anxious to get them
even at top store prices. The last u
months, when feed was unusually
high the cost Of egg production aver
aged 22A cents per dozen, and the
lowest market price for eggs was in
May and June, when they sold for so
cents per dozen.
Il will add that all our hens are
leg-banded and trap-nested. The hen
house is eight feet square and the
hens are confined all the year round
to a run eight feet wide and so feet
long. Starting in August l begin
culling and killing the older ones and
the poorest layers which have q rec

DEMAND FOR SAFE ROADWAYs
some Kind of Protection Should Be
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skiddng Off Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on human
life! To judge by some of the roads
over the country it is not much. Lives
are lost many times where a few dol
lars or little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taking
ride along them on rainy day in an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now,
says writer in Successful Farmer.
Recently friend of mine was driv-
ing along a road within a half mile of
a small town and ran into a ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally, though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet of the
roadway, and there was not even
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
off and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
owned in every part of the country
and it is impossible to always keep
off roads when they are slippery, it is
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them in condi.
ton that would make an accident un
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
ing the last two years | have beer
riding around considerably and we
have been in places where it was yer!
dangerous driving, and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
TO avoid them. In one case we. crossed
bridge after a light shower, and on
the far side found that it had caved
away to within six inches of the road,
though that was solid. For a rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road.
with nothing to check a slide into it.
A very steep hill began just beyond
the bridge Our, car could not make
the hill, and we stalled, and had to
back some. The least bit of skiddng
would have been certain to have car

ord of Ia. eggs or less per month, and
i'm October | renew the flock by add
ing one dozen new spring pullets.
These pullets now, in November, are
all laying and will continue laying
through the winter, while my older
hens get through mOlting.
'keeping the hens and surroundings
scrupulously clean and feeding a bal
anced ration at regular intervals is
the secret of success with backyard
flock"

NEW CHARACTER OF TRAFFIC
Most of Existing Highways Were Not
Constructed to Support Heavy
Loads Now imposed.

Most of our existing roads were not
designed with a view of carrying the
heavy loads now imposed upon them,
and in new roads it would seem the
builders cannot realize the present
changed conditions and the new char
acter of the traffic; in any case the
problem is not an easy one.

AVOID ROUP-INFECTED EGGS
Select Eggs From Flock Which Has
Not Been Infected Wherever 1t
Is Possible.

1t is not advisable to set eggs from
flock that has been infected with roup.
If at all possible, by all means select
Matching eggs from another flock which
has not been so infected or from hens
which have never had the disease.
