10000 trees along the highways this

INCREASE IN MOTOR TRUCKS
Business Of Nation Turning More and

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
That the business of the nation is
turning more and more to highway
transportation Is indicated by statis-
tics on motor-vehicle registration as
of July l, compile by the bureau of
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Registration
of passenger cars, taxis, busSes, and
motor trucks totaled 10.62O,471 on, this
date, an increase Of 157,176, which is
healthy growth, as the first half Of
the year is the off season for registra-
tion of new vehicles.
The surprising fact, however. is that
of the 157,1T4 increase In registra-
ton; motor trucks constituted 116,T01,
against 5000 passenger cars and 5,443
taxis and busses. This means an in
crease of over l6 per cent of the num-
ber of motor trucks at the beginning
of the year. Figures are not available
to show what part of the increase of
5,443, or nearly / per cent in the taxi
and bus registration is due to the in
crease in the number of busses travers-
ing rural and suburban routes. hut it
is very probable tut considerable
part of the increase is due to the de
velopment of this new form of trans
portation.

Much Interest Shown In Eradication

prepared by the United States Department

In the region that includes the New
England states, New York and Penn
sylvania, and New Jersey, there is ex-
tensive interest in the eradication Of
bovine tuberculosis. At the Eastern
states conference on the subject, re-
Gently held, much Information of value
to dairymen and cattle breeders was
presented by state and federal sani-
tary officials. Their estimates, based
upon the results of actual tests of a
large number of herds, show that In
some parts of this area nearly 30 per
cent of the dairy cattle have the
disease. 1t seems to be most preva-
lent In the thickly populated states of
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, but infection is extensive In
New York, New Hampshire, and ver-
mont. Pennsylvania and New Jersey
herds have about 8 per cent of dis
eased cattle, while Maine has only 2.7
per cent.
TO these states, as well as many
others, tuberculosis Is Il serious eco

makes herds Improbable or greatly re-
duces their efficiency, it pays to get

Value of Purebreds

The value Of purebred live
stock is most noticeable in those
cases in which the capablity of
the animals is measured most
directly. Among farm animals
the best illustration can be
found in dairy cattle, though
careful yearly tests OF milk and
butterfat production are rela-
lively recent affairs. The enor-
nous differences among dairy
cows when given the same op-
portunity have been brought out
clearly In a great number of
cases, and these differences are
strongly inherited through sire
and dam. The average produc-
tion of purebred and grades is
much above the average of all
milk COWS, which Is about 1000
pounds of milk and 100 pounds
of butterfat per year.
