WORST PHASE OF THE
AGRICULTURAL CRISIS
PAST, SAYS HARDING
tBy The Associated Prr-sj

CROOKSTON. MINI. Feb. 10-"We
are well past the worst phase of the
agricultural crisis" declared Pres
dent Harding in a letter to farmers
attending the annual Red River Valley
farm crop and livestock show here.
THE Improvement is well begun
and will continue steadily from this
time forward" said the letter.
This is not only a source of salts
faction to every friend of the farmer
but also to whoever is interested in
any phase of American business for
we have come to recognize the in
ter-dependence OF the great branches
of industry upon each other.
Not one of them can prosper per-
manently if any other great branch
of national activity is depressed
Therefore. in expressing my convic-
tion that the worst stage of the agr.-
cultural depression is over. | am re-
cording my firm belief that an era
of letter business and more prosper
Gus times for the entire commercial
life of the country is just around tn
corner.
II feel therefore that we are
titled to look with satisfaction upon
what we have accomplished during the
year just passed"

1921 ROAD PROJECTS
ENOUGH TO GIRDLE EARTH

Eleven thousand nine hundred
and thirty miles of federal aid roads
were constructed under the joint su-
pervision of the federal golerr ment
and the states during 1921, accord
ing to reports of the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Federal
money amounting to $94,057, ,0S9
was allotted to these roads, the to-
tai cost of which was 1921, ,0G3, ,6S2.
In this mileage there is included
$500 miles in projects wholly COM
pleted and the equivalent of 1885
miles of work done on projects that
are ont wholly completed. Every
state shared in the benefits oil this
work.
The projects under way during
the year amounted to 31,22S miles,
which was about one-half of all the
road work carried on in the United
States during the year. A fair idea
of the magnitude of the road work
done under the ruperv sou of the
!r tment RI Agriculture last year
'av be ra;red when :. is derstood
that the total mileage is consider
ably more than enough to encircle
the earth, that it is equal to more
than 10 per cent of all this improved
roads previously existing in the
United States, and that it is equal
TO nearly eight per cen, of the en-.
tire road system of France. At this
rate we would be able to build the
equivalent of Frances entire road |
system in ~ years.
