ROADS CONSTRUCTED IN 1921
Approximately $4,000 Miles Built Dur

fr,repared BY the United States Department
of Agricultural
Road building has recovered from
fine setback received during the war,
and prospects are bright for the future.
Approximately $4,000 miles of road
were constructed during the present
season by the states in conjunction
with federal aid, according to the
bureau Of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, and prob
ably an equal amount Independent OF
federal aid. More miles of improved
road were built than during any other
year.
Costs of road grading and construc-
ton with local materials is down prac'
tically to the 1914 level. Some reduc-
tons, also, have been made In freight
rates on road materials. The i'm
portance of this item is shown by the
fact that in some cases it has been es
timated that increased freight rates
have added 10 per cent to the cost q
a road. Prices Of manufactured roat
materials tend downward; the presen
level is materially lower than that O

HEAT INFLUENCES CONCRETE
Discovery Made That Edges Curl Up
and Down in Response to Tenn
perature Changes.

That the edges of concrete roads
curl I'D and down In response TO
changes in temperature is the discov-
ery recently made by the bureau OF
public roads of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in the course
of experiments at the departments
experimental farm at Arlington, Va.
Curling is caused by the unequal ex-
pansion and contraction Of the upper
and lower sides of the concrete SLAB
under the influence of heat. 1t has
been observed during the middle OF
the day when the surface of the road
becomes hot it expands more than the
cooler underside and causes the SIDES
to move downward. At night when
the surface is cool the contraction
causes the edges to rise slightly. The
extreme movement may be as much as
one-tenth of an inch.
While the, warping Of the concrete
| is not in itself detrimental to the road
| 1t NAV lead to failure Of the surface
under the wheels of vehicles which
travel over it when parts OF 1t are
not resting on the ground.

GOOD JOKE ON DANISH KING

Danish club in London.
AS the royal yacht was approaching
Greenland dark speck became visible
on the open sea. 1t proved to be a
solitary Eskimo in his little cayak

board and his loyalty in having braveo
the perils of the sea in such frall
craft assured him the warmest OF wei
comes. The king presented MIN WITT
cigar and, what the Eskimos most
highly prize, rifle.
On landing, the king described the
incident to the Danish commissions
in Greenland and asked him VINO tn

HAUL PRODUCTS TO MARKET
Enormous Amount Carried Over Coun-
try Roads Shows Necessity OF
Better Condition.

The necessity Of keeping country
roads In good condition is shown by
report recently compiled by the bureau
Of markets and crop estimates, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
showing the extent to which they are
used in hauling farm products to mar
ket. According to the report, Whlch
shows the tonnage OF IL products
hauled on country roads, giving the
yearly average for the period from
1915 to 1919, there were n tons OF
these II crops hauled for every loo
acres of land. The average tonnage
OF the II crops hauled ON country
roads each year for the period men-
toned amounted to s6,56o,0oo tons.
The Il crops referred to in the report
are corn, wheat. oats. barley, rye, RICE
flaxseed, cotton (including seed, to-
bacco. potatoes and cultivated hay.

Cottonseed meal, while it is used

ers prefer linseed meal, but it is not
used so largely owing to it's some
what higher cost. Corn makes up 9U
per cent of the carbohydrate concen-

the latter part of the feeding period
to put cattle in better shipping condi-
ton. Barley is used only in a small
way, although in Illinois 1t made up
10 per cent of the grain ration.
Purchase Price is Half of Cost.
In fattening a steer the combined
operating expenses usually more than
equal the orig;,a purchase price OF

operating expenses are feed, LABOR
