CANALS AND HIGHWAYS.

Engineers and shipping men who look
to the future are naming the day when
the Panama canal will be inadequate
They fear that, at the present rate of traf-
fic growth, in % years it will be too
small by half unless it is enlarged in ac-
cordance with plans which will eventu-
ally make it a seaIevel waterway
OF course the Panama canal is too
small for future traffic OF course the
Welland canal is too small. OF course
the country needs the Great Lakes-to.
Gulf waterway, and the proposed Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway. And nc
great highway is broad enough or has
deep enough foundations, and there are
not enough great highways by half any.
where.
The curious thing is that men of little
minds and less foresight are always op,
posing improvements of this kind from
the mistaken belief that they will hurt
the business of some locality. On the
contrary, once the improvement which
serves the majority is made, the separate
localities adjust themselves to it and dc
more business than ever before.
Now that there is labor to spare, mer
of long vision should be aided instead Of
impeded in carrying out some of theil
plans. The easier and more flexible trans
portation becomes, the more business anC
prosperity there will be for everybody.

TO INCREASE
| DAIRY HERDS
FARMERS OF CARSON VAL
LEY PLANNING TO BUY
ADDITIONAL DAIRY COWS
TO CONSUME HAY CROPS

Realizing that one Of the most
profitable resources of the farm Is
a well managed dairy OF good cows,
many of the farmers of Carson Valley
are contemplating the enlargement OF
their dairy herds through the pur-
chase of additional cows.
A few years ago when hay went
awaiting and reached the high price OF
s25 or more per ton, many of the
farmers, then quite extensively en-
gagged In dairying. sold their herds
and marketed their hay for the high
figure. During the past several months
the price of hay has materially de-
creased and the abnormal price OF
wartime and vanished, probably never
to return. The sudden drop In the
price of hay and the absence of dairy
cows brought about a serious condi-
tion and almost over night the farm
ers were brought to the realization
that while at the time. they acted
wisely in disposing of their cows. in
the long run. serious mistake had
been made.
Many of the farmers, however, were
not willing to dispose of their dairy
herds. and fed them $25 hay under
the firm belief that conditions would
not last. Some OF those who sold
their herds. did so with the determine
tion that when they again engaged In
dairying they would start with bet.
ter grade of animals.
At this time it is understood that
several farmers are out scouting fol
good dairy cows and that within Q
