FEDERAL AID STRENGTHENED
STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS

Federal aid has done a great deal
more for the country than simply to
provide funds for road construction,
according to the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. One of the
most far-reaching results has been
its influence in placing the greater
part Of the highway work of the
country in the hands of experienced
engineers of state highway depart
ments.
In. 1915, prior to the Federal aid
act, 20 per cent of the road work
was done by agencies other than
state highway departments, most of
1t by county officials. Such a sys-
tenn was bound to be wasteful Over
head costs were high, engineers were
not always employed, systems to
serve the best interests of the state
as a whole were not developed, and
the opportunities for corruption were
greater.
With the passage of the federal
aid act of 1916 and the insistence of
the governmental pom the construc-
ton of federal aid roads under the
supervision of the state departments
existing state highway departments
were enlarged and strengthened and
in II states adequate departments
have been created where there have
been none or the existing one was
not properly equipped to perform
necessary functions.
With adequate departments the
work has been shifted to their con-
troll until at the present time they
supervise more than 60 per cent Of
the road work. This assures to the
taxpayer the services of engineers
trained in road work, a centralized
authority responsible for the expendi-
ture of funds. and far-sighted plan
of development and financing.

LITTLE CHILD; SMALL BASKET

Representative Wingo, Democrat,
Texas, was discussing the bill to reg
ulate the size of baskets and hamp-
ers in which the farmer must ship
his products, when Representative
Herrick, Republican, Oklahoma, in
ventor of Herrick's Giant yellow corn
and Copper-faced Hereford cattle,
brought in the following colloquy:
Mr.. Herrick: How large a basket
would be required to put in it all the
good that this congress has done for
the common people, and how old
would a child have to be in order to
be able to carry the basket? Laugh
teri.
Mr.. Wingo: Mr.. Chairman, can
appreciate the inquisitive mind of
the gentleman from Oklahoma,
representative of the epublican par
ty upon this floor, overwhelming
elected by a great constituency
against a distinguished Democrat,
and one of the leaders on that side.
He is not deceived by the song sung
every few days by the Republican
leader (Mr. MondelD and l have

Blue Grass Seed
Crop Very Large

According TO figures secured from
the blue grass seed dealers and
growers, the crop this year is the
largest that there has ben since the
year 1912, when the largest amount
of seed was gathered in the history
of the seed business.
The prices being offered for seed
vary. In some sections the dealers
aer offering a price of $3.50 per bush.
ell for the cured seed, while no price
so far is obtainable for seed from the
stripper.
The stripping, according to farmers,
will begin between the first and the
eighth Of June, according to the
weather. Large tracts have already
bees disposed of for money consider
alton in this and adjoining counties,
while a number of the county farm
ers have made arrangements for the
seed to be stripped on the shares.
A grand rush is being made for
available shippers in this county and
all shippers available will be press
ed into use, with the old-time ship
pers and all available self-raking
shippers already spoken for.
With the amount for money that
will be realized from the second pay
ment of the Burley Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative Association to the
growers and the prospects of good
sum of money being realized from the
blue grass seed, the farmers, 1t is
predicted, will be in better condition
financially than they have ben for
the past few years.

SoYBEANs IN CORN KEEP
DOWN cHINcHRUG TRous

In addition to forming good COM
bination for the economical produc-
ton of pork, soybeans and corn
grown together have another advan
tage which is being pointed out to
Kentucky farmers by crop special
lists at the College of Agriculture
When grown together, these two
crops help to control chinchbugs
which in some years become a seri-
Gus menace to the corn crop, they
declare.
Soybeans grown in the row with
corn help make the field shady, thus
discouraging the activities of the
bug which prefers an open growth.
Natural enemies of the chinchbug al.
so like the large amount of Moisture
held by the damp bean leaves. In
addition ia these two points, the
bugs do not feed upon the soybeans,
the specialists say.

CONTROL OF WEEDS BIG
NEED FOR CULTIVATION

Corn cultivation that destroys the
weeds most effectively is best, re-
CARELESS of how deep it goes or how
often it is practiced, according to
results of the experiments conducted
for ten years at the Kentucky Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. Mois-
ture conservation, once considered a
chief reason for cultivation, is sec.
ondary in Importance as long as the
weeds are kept down, the tests show
ed, it is said
To determine the need for Guilt
walton, the weeds on one plot were
kept down by being scraped off with
a sharp hoe. Despite the fact that
no other cultivation was given, this
plot yielded 52.9 bushels of corn an
acre, as an average for ten years, or
only three bushels less than the cul-
tivated areas. However, this method
of weed control was not considered
practical, because OF the labor ana
expense involved
Over the ten-year period, the aver.
age yields for shallow and deep cul'
tivation practiced six to eight times
during the growing season have ben
sos and 56.2 bushels, respectively,
while the average yields for shallow
and deep cultivation practiced three
to four times during the season have
been 55.S and SCI bushels, respec.

WHAT'S THE COMBINATION?

Harry Sinclair set out in the oil
business as an independent opera
tor when the great mid-continent oil
field was In its infancy as to produc-
ton. Among the independents he
was a pronounced success. He car
ried his interlocking companies to
Wall street, where after q time OF
cooling his heels In the out offices OF
big business, he was admitted and
let in.
Now 1t appears he is well within
so far in that some of his companies
are not without their federated inter-
ests with the Standard Oil Company
or more ancient fame.
Sinclair was recently reported as
having come close to a corner on all
the available oil land in the world
And among the available lands he
was fortunate enough to find ways
and means to lease the federal oil
lands reserved for sources of naval
supply.
Now Senator LaFollette, who is
just as apt to be right as wrong, de-
mands a federal investigation into
naval oil fields, and why these oil
deposits are subjected to being
greatly depleted by the Sinclair ex-
ploitations.
What is an independent oil opera
tor? When does an independent be-
come a combine and the benefactor
OF special grants and privileges?
These are questions that the "inde-
pendents" such as Sinclair once was
are asking. Moreover. they want to
know If Harry Sinclair and his com
panies are still of the independent"
class, how it is that he is privileged
to get on, or at least next to govern
ment oil lands which carry the keep
OF the grass" signs for them.
What's the combination that gets
into this federal vault Of nuid gold?
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1922-05-18

after the corn is well started and is
about knee-high, the feeding roots
are able to take up most of the mois-
ture that the crop can utilize before
it has a chance to evaporate from
the surface, even though there is no
cultivation other than scraping the
weeds.
"The outstanding thing brought
out by the experiments is not the
fact that cultivation is not needed,
but that it should be given at such
time and in such manner as to most
effectively destroy weeds"

Prohibition agents masquerading as
brokers out for a good time called at
Rector's Restaurant, 2525 Broadway, at
Ninety-fifth street, last night. Agents
kerrigan, Reager and Strauss, accom-
panied by three young women, were
seated at tables in corner of the din
ing room when it was observed by the
agents that other guests were being eau
tiously served with what appeared to
be liquor
When the waiter came around the en-
forcement agents. to create the impress
sion that they were brokers. began to
talk about finance and business. The
waiter soon was convinced that they
were good fellows" and lost no time
in telling them so. The result of their
exchanges of confidence was the pur-
chase by Kerrigan of a half pint OF
whisky, for which he paid SIS, and the
subsequent arrest of the waiter and the
serving of a summons on George Rector
the proprietor. Another summons was
left for Edward Cohen, the receiver of
the business.
Frank Black of 176 West Ninety-ffth
street, who is alleged to have sold the
whisky to Kerrigan, was taken to the
West Tooth street station, where q
charge of violation of the volstead law
was made against him. He. Rector and
Cohen will be taken before Commits
sioner Hitchcock to-day.

the waiter had served him with the
liquor, and, according TO the agents,

Mr.. Miller bases his complaint upon
a decision of the Court OF Appeals some
years ago, following the passage of an
act ito prevent intemperancc." The de-
cision held that because the act pro-
vided for the destruction of Intoxicating
liquors il violated the State Constitu7
tion. which declares that no person
shall be. deprived of life. liberty or
property without due process OF law.
Consequently. Mr.. Miller argues. the
Legislature could not ratify the Eight

ratify implies power to ratify on the
part of the acting body. and IL the Legis-
lature did not have the power to take
away property under the intemperance

SWIFT FLYING BOAT
FOR VINCENT ASTOR
Top Speed 135 Miles in Hour
and Cruising Gait Is
About 120 Miles.

Vincent Astor, who has been inter-
ested in aviation since he was active
before the war in starting a flying bat
talon Of the State Naval Reserve, has
returned to the fold of flying men by
arranging to purchase a Looming flying
yacht, the fastest air boat in this coun-
try.
Although Mr.. Astor has not been ac-
tive in aviation affairs recently, he met
David III. McCulloch, formerly a COM
mander in the Naval Aviation Corps and
one Of the pilots OF the NC-3 In Florida
last month. when McCulloch was flying
the yacht between Palm Beach and Mas
sau and Miami.
The flying boat Mr.. Astor has or
dered for delivery in June is a five
horsepower Liberty motor, mounted on
top of the single wing. The hull is
metal sheathed. 1t has a top speed OF
1876 miles an hour. can climb 10000 feet
in twelve minutes and has ceiling,
or utmost limit of climb, of 10000 feet.
Mr.. Astor will try his hand at flying
the boat himself, but also has arranged
for the services OF Clifford Webster as
his pilot. He plans to use the flying
boat for trips between New York and
his home at Rhinebeck, n. Y. sixteen
miles north Of Poughkeepsic and ninety
miles from New York. At a cruising
speed Of 120 miles an hour Rhinebecl'
will be no further away for him than
the Battery is from The Bronx. lie
also will use the air yacht as a tender
for his 100 foot yacht Nourmahal and
to carry hims between Newport ano
Southampton. This latter trip would be
an all day journey in train or motor. but
by flying yacht 1t can be made in TWEEN
ty-five minutes.
The plane will be especially equipped
for Mr.. Astor A big compartment Will
be fitted to carry golf bags and other
luggage and there will be wind shields
for the greater comfort Of the passen-
gers. An electric starter viii make
turning the propeller unnecessary.
