PROHIBITING DEFACING
ADVERTISING SIGNS

Several states have passed laws
prohibiting signs on roads with the
idea that the automobile, carrying
tourists and sightseeing travellers, is
not an asset to the individual busi-
less house but to the state, and that
travellers should not be compelled to
have their beautiful views and vistas
profaned by painted boards.
Speaking of this idea in Illinois,
Governor Small said: "Illinois has
seen the logic of preserving the right
of way in this respect with the result
that we have hundreds of miles Of
drives fringed with grass, trimmed
to lawn-ike nicely, and unmarried
by unsightly billboards, which are so
often seen in neighboring common
wealths."
Col. C. R. Miller, director of the
Illinois department of public works
and buildings, said:
Connecticut has followed Illinois
clean highway policy, has passed a
law prohibiting signs on the right-of-
way. Minnesota has also followed
suit and law in that state, effective
December l, 1928, provides for the
elimination of advertising signs al.

the constructor of new ones"

COLORADO WILL have MORE
FARMERS DURING NEXT YEAR
WEATHER CONDITIONS MORE
FAVORABLE FOR WINTER
WHEAT CROP-ACRICULTUR-
lists WARN AGAINST HEAVY
PLANTING OF CORN.

Reports received by the State I'm
migration department indicate that
the movement away from the farms,
which did not become acute in this
state until 1928, has been halted and
that there will be an increase in the
number of farms operated in 1924
over the number for 1923.
The season has been very favor
able for sowing winter wheat and at
least normal acreage has been
sown, perhaps 100000 acres more
than was harvested last summer.
Winter wheat has been sown on
many farms that were not operated
at all for the 1923 harvest and plow-
ing has been done for spring crops
on several such farms. Most of the
winter wheat has come up and is in
fine condition, with plenty Of mois-
ture in the ground to carry it
through the winter.
Weather conditions have been ia
vorable for farm work during the
past month and a large amount Of
ground has been broken for next
years crops. In the non-irrigated
districts a considerable amount Of
new land has been broken and pres
ent indications are that much more
raw land will be put in crops in 1924
than in 1928. Though the acreage
planted to spring crops will depend
very largely on the weather condi-
tions prevailing from now until July
it seems fairly certain that larger
acreage will r, planted for the 1924
harvest than was planted for harvest
this year. This will not necessarily
mean record acreage for the state,
for the acreage under cultivation in
1928 was smaller than that for 1922.
Some fear is expressed by exper-
fenced agriculturists that farmers
may permit themselves to be too
much influenced by the exceptionally
fine corn crop grown this year and
may increase their acreage Of corn
beyond justification. sacrificing di-
versity for large production in a sin
gle crop. 1t should be remembered
that Colorado has not had such =
season sthat Of 1923 in the pre-
vious twenty years. The rainfall be-
tween June l and November was
almost double the normal rainfall
and corn and sorghums attained .
growth which cannot be expected
again in Colorado for 4 good many
years. These crops. however. are
among the most dependable crops
grown in the state, and though it i
not safe to build hopes for the fu-
ture on the yields Of 1923 it is gen.
orally conceded that the two crops
should continue to account for one
third or more Of the cultivated acre
age in the state. one year with an
other.

CONVENTION
IN SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco.-Legionnaires from
every state In the union gathered here
for the opening of the fifth annual
convention of the American Legion.
A sea of flags, a riot of color and
bands-Indian bands, navy bands,
army bands, cowboy bands, fraternal
bands-greeted the delegates and wish
tors at all corners of the huge civic
auditorium, where the 1923 convention
got into motion after the usual routine
necessary for permanent convention
organization.
Their feet ~re-echoing the paths they
trod in no mans land in 1917 and their
voices again raised in cries of battle
and the tunes of the trenches, more
than so, 900 world war veterans march
ed in a gigantic military parade,
which marked the second day of the
convention. Twenty thousand sea war
~riors-sailors of the Pacific fleet at
anchor in San Francisco bay-joined
the DICTIONARIES in the parade, with
hundreds of delegates of the legion
auxiliary and various wal workers
organizations.
