ENTHUSIASTIC SPIRIT OF FARM
ERS' WEEK

One Of the speakers on the program
OF Farmers Week at the University
OF Maine remarked: IT the Governor
thinks the University Of Maine is
drifting away from agriculture he
should have been here and imbibed
some Of the enthusiastic spirit of
Farmers Week"
While 1t doubtless would not be
difficult for the Governor to show that
he was having an insistent demand
on his attention at the State Capitol
last week he should not overlook the
evidence of the enthusiastic spirit
demonstrated at the Farmers Week
meetings.
was expected owing to the drifted
condition of the country roads and
the Indictment weather and the earn
Iestness and purposeful attention Of
those who came were noticeable.
These were by no means confined to
the farmers. The farmers wives and
daughters were there in number
equal to that of year ago, also the
women OF neighboring towns were
glad to profit from the activities in
the women's department. These in
cluded demonstrations, lectures and
exhibits in millinery, preparation OF
foods, study OF fabrics. dietetics and
other topics Of especial interest to
women.
The men found full days, what with
the poultry school. the sessions de-
voted to horticulture, orcharding,
plant diseases, seed selection. dairy
Ing, sprays and dusts. grating and
pruning, fertilizers, forestry, the corn
borer, milk tests, silage, animal dis
eases. and so on, long list and each
feature an attractive one to those
who till the soil. The entire course
was free and open to all and board on
the campus was had at reasonable
rates. The members of the college
freely gave their services though so
doing deprived them of much of
their Easter vacation.
Such constructive effort will bear
fruit. Those engaged in it should
make sure that the public is informed
respecting it. When so informed
people will insist on adequate support
OF these activities.

THE HOOVER PLAN RIGHT

The editor Of the Manufacturers
Record wires President Harding to
the effect that postponing govern
ment construction tends to lower
prices. OF course the converse Of
this would be true, that II the Gov
eminent enters upon construction
work generally 1t raises the prices.
The prevailing impression Is that
prices are already too high. that
there is lack of enough builders to
meet private and public demands and
II the Government constructs more
than what it absolutely needs at this
time it is doing the public an injury.
Some of us have not yet forgotten
the rottenness participated in by
builders and labor leaders in New
York City a few months ago. What
evidence Of repentance for this has
appeared? What good reason exists
why the Government should divert
labor and material needed for con-
structiOn desired and needed by indi-
viduals to constructing works for
which there is no immediate and alb
solute need? That to do so is neces-
sary to the welfare Of the country, to

RECOGNIZING SOME HIGHWAY
TRUTHS

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
commenting on the recommendation
OF the recent highway conference III
that State endorses them and out of
acquaintance with conditions that
have prevailed recognizes that: $50
many conflicting interests enter in
to the problem--interests that have
no proper relation to sound engineer
ing or scientific planning of public
highways and routes of travel-that
it is inevitable that when Legisla-
lures control there inevitably result
confusion and waste. EaVOritism
and log-rolling are brought into play,
and the work is made more difficult
and the OUTLAWS of public money
wastefully applied. Only by remov-
ing the possibility of political man
ipulation and by creating continuity
of service for highway engineers and
administra tors can there be hope of
the most efficient service in this i'm
portant function Of government.
Another significant suggestion in
the report is that there ought to be
no appropriations for good roads
apart from adequate provision for
maintenance. In the past this was
one Of the evils that attended the
progress OF road improvement in
PENNSYLVANIA. Vast sums were spent
on improved roads. and then they
were allowed to deteriorate until
costly reconstruction alone could save
them. If the maintenance and initial
construction were invariably bound
together. and il the same engineer
who builds the roads were held re-
sponsible for their upkeep. there can
be no doubt that the results would
be vastly beneficial"
While all this may not be success
fully controverted it Is by no means
easy to have done what all agree
should be done. not easy to divorce
the road problems from political
manipulation. not easy to keep the
maintenance fund from being grab
bed for other uses. And all the time
we know better. When will we be-
come distrustful Of those who advo-
cate the things which our reason re-
iectS?
