IMPROVED
ROADS
WAR SUPPLIES FOR HIGHWAYS
SO Far Approximately $50, ,Oo0, ,ooo
Worth of Surplus Material Has
Been Distributed.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Approximately S15U,0OO,000 worth of
surplus war materials, turned over by
the War department to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, were distributed
through the bureau of public roads to
the various states for road-building
purposes up to November last.
Under the Wadsworth-Kah bill this
surplus war material is sent TO the
states with the sole provision that it
be used only for bodybuilding pur-
poses. A vast accumulation of ma
chinery, equipment, supplies and mo
tor vehicles that was to have been
used in France has thus been diverted
to useful peace-time purpose.
Included in the supplies distributed
among the states are 27,19S motor
vehicles, mestly trucks; 172 locomo-
tives of various sizes; $4,000 gross
tons of rails; more than 4,500,000
pounds of powder; and nearly 10000
tons of INT.
A compilation showing total deliv-
cries of war material to the various
states up to July /, last, places the
value of machinery, equipment and
supplies so delivered at $30,64S, ,779; of
motor vehicles, $74.730,56S; and of
spare parts. at $11.731, ,424. The total
value of deliveries to the states up to
that date was $117, ,110,771. That fig
ure did Tot include material to the
value of approximately $11,000,000,
which was retained by the Department
of Agriculture, largely for forest road

ton of runts and their remedy con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The information was obtained from
nearly 1000 farmers to whom ques-
tionnaires were sent. Although these
farmers were considered to be better
than the average, they reported that
z per cent of their animals were under
sized to such a degree as to be called
runty. This means, If the percentage
holds true for all farms of the country,
that more than 14,000000 animals, not
including feathered stock, are runts.
In addition 61a per cent of the poultry
on these farms was understood, which
means that there is, perhaps, even,
higher percentage for the total farms
of the United States.
Inbreeding and poor matings, as a
cause, are the principal factors dis
tinguishing runtiness in feathered
stock from that In other farm animals.
1t is the consensus of opinion of Al
poultry owners, in all parts of the
country, that the following causes are
chiefly responsible for the runts found

Runtiness is not so conspicuous In
the poultry flock as it is among other
farm animals, yet it is factor to be
considered, and it is possible that in
some cases it is Of great Importance.
Certain 1t is that understood fowls are
not desirable, and it has been the
experience of many farmers and
poultrymen that they can be almost.
If not entirely, eliminated. This is the
conclusion that may be arrived at after
a study of the figures and comments

IOI8l AVV.N
Early Matching is of more Importance,
according to the comments of poultry
men, than the figures in the table In
dicate It appears that relatively few
flock owners are familiar with the adj
vantages Of early Matching, but those
who do their Matching early find 1t
distinct benefit. For instance, one
farmer says, Last year all of my
chickens hatched after the first of June
were runts Those before that were
normal and were laying in October.
The same care and feed were given to
all of them Another observes, when
| get my chicks hatched in April and
May do not have runts in my fiock." I"
Still another estimates that one-third
of late matches are runty. Hatch no
chicks later than May IT, he says.
OF equal interest are the warnings
against inbreeding 1--WE have no runts
in our poultry" is the statement of a
Virginia farmer, who adds 1--WE buy
purebred cocks from different strain
every year" Keep purebred fowls and
change the sire every year" is the in
junction of another poultryman. and
his experience is typical of many others.
Farmers experiences with early
Matching tally with the results of ex-
periments by the bureau of animal
industry of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. In these experi-
ments the early Matched chicks showed
marked superiority over those pur-
posely Matched late. There was a
noticeably steady degradation in size
and type of the late chicks compared
with those hatcbed early.
From these side lights It is easily
seen that the questions of runtiness
and good livestock management are
closely related and are tied up with
economic factors Of great Importance.

and no less than one sixth of the peo-
pie are classed as agricultural la
borers. Out of every one hundred
persons employed on the farms only
sixteen are paid wages. The others
are proprietors or members of the
family, most of whom live in farm
villages of one or two story brick
houses whence they go out TO work
their small patches of land.
As to the size of the holdings. the
average tract to each iaborer is only
four acres, while in other lands ii Is
from thirty to one hundred acres, and
as time goes on these farms will
grow smaller and smaller unless
there is a change In the inheritance
laws. I have discussed this subject
with one of the leading real-estate
lawyers OF Brussels. He tells me that
a man must leave one fourth of his
property to his wife and that the
balance must be divided among his
children. according TO the number he
has. only fixed portion being left
that he may Will away. II he has
but one child half of the residue after
his wife has her fourth goes to that
child and he may will away the
remainder. II he has two children
one third OF the balance goes to each
child and he has one third to leave
as he pleases. IF he has three chill
dren or more he can dispose of only
one-fourth of the balance. after his
wife has her share: and the remain
der must be divided equally among
the children.
Suppose, for instance. a man dies

acre farm. Thirty acres must go to

naming forty-five acres can be dis
posed OF by will. II the man has
four children the wife still receives
her thirty acres. but he can devise
only twenty-five and a half acres or
one-fourth OF that remaining. and the
rest (sixty- seven and one-half acres)
must be divided equally among the
four children. giving each child less
than seventeen acres. IL he has six
children each child would receive
little more than eleven acres. As
every child wants, II possible, an out
let to the road. the fields facing the
highways are often mere ribbons.
