WEATHER CROP AND
RANGE CONDITIONS

Last week was the second Of
warm, sunshiny weather. The tenn
perature averaged about normal,
and the sunshine was nearly 100 per-
cent. "The weather was pleasant,
except that the wind movement was
high on the Goth. No measurable
precipitation was reported, except
that light amounts fell in the exi
IRENE south. Frost formed on
several mornings, but vegetation
had not advanced far enough to be
damaged.
Continued warm weather was
favorable for stock, lambing,
shearing, the growth of vegeta-'
ton, and field, work. Grain, alfalfa,
and grass made rapid development.
Pastures in low elevations were.
being irrigated, and alfalfa and,
strawberries were being irrigated
in the swest and south. Streams
were moderately high but no dam
age by floods was reported. In
some northern districts cattle are
still being fed one ranches but the
hay supply swas low andvthere was
rapid, movement of stock to the
range which had improved since
the change to higher temperatures.
In the vicinity of Sharp, cattle
are doing well, farming and garden
planting are in progress, streams
are high, and plenty of snow re-
mains in the mountains. Sheep
shearing has started in the Modena
district, sheep are moving to lamb
ing grounds. and stock, : grain, and
grass are improving with the change
to warm weather. Cattle are still
being fed in the Gerlach section,
but sheep are generally on the
range. Grass is improving rapidly.
Vegetation is reported about 20
days later than normal in all dis
tricts. Roads are generally good,
except in the mountain districts
where they are covered with snow.

Time REQUIRED tn
BUILD GOOD ROADS

When the Congress last Novem
ger passed the federal aid hipbwa,
act it put its approval, by an Amos
unanimous vote, on permanent
poiicy for cooperation with tn,
state in road construction and mad.
stringent requirements for mainte
nance.
AS a definite plan, it called 70,
the expenditure of the funds on
system of interstate intercountx
roads not to exceed Z per cent OF
the road mileage of each state
approximately this system is 1885,.
'oo mlles.of which 69,100 miles
nave been improved, or are in
various stages of construction. The
part of this mileage which has beer
constructed by the use of federal
aid has been done at an average
cost OF $4,000 per mile, of which
the federal government has contrib.
uted 42h per cent and the state
57k per cent.
This leaves IT, 900 miles of the
hrst seyen-per-cent system to be
built. Presuming that this mileage
will be constructed at the same
average cost as heretofore, and
that the federal government and
the states will pay the cost in the
same ratio, the time required to
carry out this plan will be as fol
lows:
Twenty years if federal appro.
priation is $50,000,OOO per year
Fifteen year if federal appropria.
ton is $75,O00,000 per year. Ter
years if federal appropriation is
$1O0,000,000 per year.
While the average cost per mile
Of roads heretofore constructed
with federal aid is $4,000 per mile
it must be observed that traffic re.
quirements in the construction OF
the remaining 117,600 miles will
raise this average cost. In making
the above deductions it should be
borne in mind that no lag in com.
pletion of this system is allowed fol
reconstruction or surfacing of any
part of the 69,100 miles now i'm.
proved for part of this mileage will
undoubtedly need a higher type OF
construction, due to the increased
traffic requirements.
This situation makes it clearly
that the length of time
and amount of appropriations
needed to complete this 7 per cen,
system will be greater than the
above illustration used.
