New Problems For
Highway Engineers

Lexington. Ky. Feb. S.-The wcar
and tear on the old type of improved
roads. by the heavy vehicles during the
world war created new problems in
highway engineering and in highway
transport. DR.. John j.. Tgert, Z. s..
dressing the Regional Conference on
Highway Economics and Transport at
the University OF Kentucky here,
Since the war the Improvement of
highways u to the increased use of
the roads for transportation has laid
heavy. burdens upon the highway. en-
gineers of the nation" DIR. Tieert
e Of public roads and the state
highway departments, charged with
the expenditure Of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. from state and federal
aid appropriations. find themselves
unable to cope with the problems of
the day by reason Of the entirely in
adequate number Of properly trained
stances. but not by any means in all,
these engineers. now serving in various
capacities, are not properly equipped
by reason of a lack of training to dis
charge the functions Of their office.
AT these conferences the stimula-
ton Of highway engineering and re-
search has been encouraged and all
CStS III highways ana l1Rn-
"a transport are co-ordinated from
the standpoint of the new highway
program. -
Consequently. one OF the major
functions Of the highway and highway
transport education committee is the
preparation Of basic data for collegi-
ate courses in highway transport.
No only shall we seek to solve the
problem through the colleges and
universities Of the country, but-a de-
mand Ia being made upon the ON
mittee for a course in c.vics touching
upon highway transport and econom-
les for III in elementary and high
schools.
TN order to accomplish these tasks
efficiently the committee is co-operat-
ing with the highway division Of the
National Research Council, the Ma
tional Safety Council automobile
clubs, women's clubs and civic bodies.
ITO meet these needs there Is a
growing demand for better trained
highway engineers. especially those
who are fitted to undertake the, COM
plicated problems involved in building
and administering the great program
Of improved highways, which is 80
indispensable for the continued de-
velopment Of the highways of the
United S~tates." y

HALF AND HALF
FARM LEASES
ARECUSToMARY
Land Owner Furnishes Half
of Seed Spuds and Gets
Half of Crop

Fargo, Feb. 4.-Half and half farm
leases. in which the land owner fur
nishes one-half the seed potatoes and
receives one-hali of the crop, is prob
ably the most common custom Gus
tom on North Dakota potato farms,
Dften the uwner furnishes all of the
seed ana receives onc-half Of the crop,
stated Cap +. Miller. farm economist,
agricultural college, today in com
nfen1ing on frequent inquiries recent
ly received regarding customs in farm
leases on farms specializing in certain
crops Or farming systems.
There arc rarely two lease cont
racts containing identical stipulations,'
stated Mr.. Miller. but certain fund.-
mental factors are usually agreed
upon. For instance. the richer the
farm the larger the share that goes
TO the land owner. The poorer the
land the more the land owner mus;
share in the way of equipment. the
pensas must he bear, or the smaller
l:lust b. the share OF the product
which he accepts. Increasing tho dis.
tancc from markets decreases Tho
land owners share.
Similarly tho landlords share is re.
duccd where crops requiring much Ia
Dor are grown. as compared to thos,
OF low labor requirements: or else tn.
owner shares a greater part OF The
operating expenses to offset the labor
requirements. Especially noticeable
in North Dakota is the tendency OF
land M TO he liberal toward rem;
return from titled crops. like corr
and potatoes. hecaLsc of the benefits
derived from tillage and soil improve.
,nent practices associated with tho
+ cultivation of these crODS."
Labor offsets land on average farms
according to Mr.. Miller. but on Other
than average farms a division of the
share in operating expenses and equip.
,nent is necessary to balance properly
the interests Of land owner n ten.
ant. On the same basis the tenant.
share varies with different crops.
Custom varies IN different section.

FARMERSS SHOULD
STUDY MILLING
Probe of Problems Would
Aid Marketing of Pure
Samples, Waldron Says

Fargo. y. D.. Feb. 4.--Closer stady
hy the farmer OF the mi1lers' nroh.
lens would result in the marketing Of
more pure samples of wheat in the
opinion Of J.. r. Waldron. plant breed
er at the North Dakota Agricultural
college.
ut is the farmers business to n,,r-
ket wheat. n the millers' to grind
it. Mr.. Waldron say I'm the mast
there has, been but little evident COM
mun.ty interest between the two
sroups. The miller has looked at his
problems too exclusively and the arr,
ct mas not had good opportunities to
study the wheat problem in it's genera
aspect. Often the farmer thinks the
market grades work against his best
interests and the miller feels that the
farmer should deliver a better grad
OF wheat to the car and elevator. .
1t is a fact from which no one can
escape That wheat is raised to be
GROUND into flour and semolina which
are further to be transformed into
bread and macaroni products. Fash
ION rules he world. or less, even
IN the matter OF food stuffs and a peo-
pie educated to a certain type or Qua /
lty OF flour or macraoni feels pretty
set in It's ways. Argument does no,
seem to change their views very much,
This being the case it is evident that
there are certain tastes that makers
OF flour and semolina must cater to,
Also the U. S. A. has an expert flour
trade and the product exported must
stand up in quality in order to com.
pete with flour from foreign mills.
A this is preliminary to statinG
that whe the miller receives. a con-
isignment Of common wheat which con
tains an appreciable admixture OF
durum wheat. the character OF the
flour produced is bound to be in
nuenced in quality. It may be the
miller has al. HAND" enough pure com
mon wheat 80 that.the common-durum
