Proponents of national highways
built and forever maintained by the
National Government, point out that
all such calculations ana apportion-
ments will be unnecessary under
their plan, and that the ends of eff
ficiency. economy, and speed in
building roads can be better served
by one central authority in absolute
control than by As road commits
sions working in cnojunction with a
central authority between which an
agreement must be had before work
is done.
Real national highway believers
are not against Federal aid to
roads, since they recognize that any
agency which builds roads, which
creates sentiment for good roads,
which cause use and spread of
hard surface highways, is an argu-
ment for national highways. Nation
al highway program indorsers be
lieve that their plan, OF a central
authority. a central force paying the
bills, and a central organization
the highways, will pro-
more highways, produce them
quicker, and produce them with
greater economy and therefore great
er value to the body polite than any
other plan.

FEDERAL AID
AND HIGHWAYS

Roads on which the National Gov
eminent furnishes funds to assist
the States are in two classes-spri-
mary and secondary. Primary high
ways are interstate, while secondary
highways are ~intercounty roads cor
relating with primary thorough
fares. The total mileage in any
State on which Federal aid may be
given can not exceed Z per cen of
the total mileage of all public roads
in that state. The primary system
must not exceed threeIsevenths of
the total eligible for Federal aid,
and IN this three-sevenths not more
than 60 per cent of the Federal
funds available for any State may
be spent, except by agreement be-
tween the State Eoad Commission
and the Secretary of Agriculture.
Federal road funds are appor-
toned among the States agreeing to
match the amounts as follows: One
third in the ratio which the area of
each state bears to the area of all
the States; one third in the ratio
which the population of each State
bears to h population of all the
States; n third In the ratio which
the mileage of rural delivery routes
n star routes in each State bears
to the mileage of rural delivery
and star routes in all the States.
The Federal road system is in
II to give h maximum OF ser
vice to the greatest possible num-
Der. There are LII cities in the
United States of 5000 or more in
habitants. and 1,04S OF these are To-
Gated on Federal routes or the
total population of the United States,
80 per cen live either on or within
ten miles OF highways included in
the Federal system.

THOMAS
TALKS TO RO-
TARIANS TUES

Captain Thomas, Federal In
structor of the 115th Cavalry, was
the principal speaker at the Rotary
Luncheon ON Tuesday last. Captain
Thomas took as his subject the
National Defense Act passed by
Congress In 1920.
Captain Thomas stated hat it
would be possible to locate a Ma
chine Gun troop of the Wyoming
National Guard in Rawlins il i'm
mediate action was taken. All
troops allocated to Wyoming have
been located with the exception OF
one troop offered to this city.
The aims and purposes of the Ma
tional Guard were thoroughly dis
cussed by Captain Thomas and at
present had a much clearer con-
ception of this arm of the National
Defense.
Mayor Henry Perrett was present
as a guest Of the club and in a short
talk he explained to the Rotarians
the plans of the city officials re-
garding city improvements during
the coming year. Mayor Perrett
spoke especially of the need of 1T
ting up new tourist camp grounds
and stated that some arrangements
must be made for the protection OF
campers.

have found the strike effective. Ut
is too easy to get into farming, espe-
cially from the standpoint OF control
Of price," Hubbard declares. Labor
controls and limits IT'S supply Of APP
prentices; farmers can never do this
because most of their apprentices are
their own children"
Farmer Monopoly Vision Fades.
The vision of a farmer monopoly
fades away, for according to Hubbard,
it carries it's own dynamite. It will
blow from the inside or somebody will
blow it up from the outside. To go
out and organize the farmers so as to
control the output has been done only
on paper and from the platform.
One of the best ways out OF the
present dilemma is through the use OF
a Investigation of crops. If present
crops do not pay, producing those that
do may be the farmers salvation.
Hibbard points out that relief can hard
ly come by merely pooling milk for
any and every purpose. 1t should be
pooled as market milk, butter, and
cheese respectively. Pooling wheat
will be disappointing because there
are so many farmers producing wheat.

Mature Turkey Gobbler

II
The mature turkey gobbler, or tom
as he is more rightly called, often
attains a weight Of from thirty-five to
forty-f1ve pounds when two years old
or over, says a writer In the Success
full Farming. He is fat, clumsy and
awkward and not as active as cock
erel or a yearling.
Under no condition should tom Of
the weights given above be used on
females weighing less than twenty
five pounds and even then the spurs
should always be clipped off and the
sharp ends Of the toenails removed
with a file. If this is not done, he is
likely to tear the skin over the backs
of the hens In such manner as to
cause death. This is especially true
If the hen is very fat. Some breeders
protect the hens when using heavy
tom by placing a cloth over the back
during the breeding season.
Well-developed cockerels and year
ling toms are usually very satisfactory
for breeding purposes. With most
varieties Of turkeys one tom to twelve
or fifteen females is quite enough for
safety in breeding. In nocks where
two or more toms must be kept, it is
advisable to allow only one tom with
the flock at time, due to the. fact
that they will often fight and injure
one another badly enough to interfere
with their breeding ability.

Chickens and Eggs
Help Improve Home
Poultry Products Favored to
Increase Incomes.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Farm women of Charleston, county,
S. c., sold SAL pounds Of poultry and
1O,388 dozen eggs during 1923, as COM
pared with 900 pounds Of market poul-
try and 1,009 dozen eggs in 1920.
This large increase in three years was
accomplished, on the part of extension
workers comparatively directed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the state agricultural col
leges, by constantly emphasizing the
value of pure bred poultry and Of the
need of grading all products. The
home demonstration agent rendered
all possible assistance In the market
ing of these products, but the good
results are attributed largely to the
fact that at every meeting he'd, no
matter what subject was discussed,
poultry was advised as means of
increasing the home income. Out OF
1873 women enrolled in home demon
stration work, 20 improved their focks
by the purchase Of standardized cock
erels or baby chicks.
In addition to selling poultry, g.
337 pounds of butter and fresh vege-
tables, amounting to $2,368.50, were
sold in the county. The money
earned by the women in these ways
was divided into three portions. One
part was laid away for rainy day,
one part was spent in supplying spe-
eial needs Of the children or for food or
clothing, and the third part was spent
for home improvements. Among these
Improvements, % houses were re-
modelled by having additions, new
floors, or new lighting systems. Elev-
en- women bought gasoline irons, two
made wheel trays, and four bought
kitchen cabinets; Is planted fruit trees
and 1873 planted local trees and shrubs
to beautify the home grounds.

COMMUNITY CLUBS
NEED YOUNG FOLKS

Young people are essential to the
success of the community club.
This is what j. 81. Kolb, rural econ
omist of the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture, thinks about the COM
munity club idea. He emphasizes the
need of thorough study of the local
situation to determine the number OF
young people available before a club
Is started.
ssThe club must be of a nature that
will attract tho attention Of both the
older and younger people, Kolb says
"After some young people, who have
leadership ability, have been found, the
club idea should be talked up in the
community"
It has been found that the best way
to start things moving is to have
social community get-together, with
games and light refreshments. At this
time the people present can talk over
the situation, and If everything Is
favorable, plan to have a business
meeting. At the meeting temporary
committees can be appointed to draft
a constitution and arrange for formal
organization. At a convenient time
the third meeting, which will consist
Of a social event followed by the or
ganization Of the club, can be held.
1.-THE purely literary type of society
rarely succeeds in rural communities,
but literary programs can be made a
part of the entertainment in any COM
munity club with beneficial results, :"
Kolb believes. "A few debates may
be held during the winter months
along with the meetings of purely
social nature. Some constructive pro-
gram for community betterment Is
necessary to get everybody working
In the club"
Kolb feels that the meetings should
be held at regular intervals. Every
two weeks In the winter and once a
month in the busy part Of the summer
works out well in the average COM
munity. An occasional picnic during
the summer with community fair
later serves to promote social COM
munity spirit.
"One Of the most important things
to consider in regard to the place of
meetings for the club" says Kolb, us
to study the community and find out
where the most natural meeting place
should be. Have the meetings where
most of the people of the community
will not feel out Of place whether it
be the schoolhouse, church, town hall,
or some other common meeting place.
Have the meeting where everyone will
feel the most natural when coming to
the meetings Many people win not
attend meetings at certain places, SO
1t is, necessary to try to study the
people of the community and arrange
for natural meeting place for every
one"

Calves Are Produced on
Close Margin Of Profit

Beef calves are produced on close
margin Of profit. The only source Of
income from the beef COW is her calf.
The value of the calf at weaving time
must cover the cost of keeping the
COW for year, depreciation, sire, serv-
Ice, interest on Investment, rent, and
losses, and leave margin for the own
er. This is true whether one Is pro-
ducing calves to sell at weaving time,
or to sell as two-year-old feeders. If
one cannot produce calves as cheaply
as ne can buy them at weaving time,
it will pay him to buy rather than
breed. BY cutting out the breeding
herd altogether, this would put all
available capital and available land
into handling steers. Usually it is bet
ter to raise calves where conditions
are favorable for taking care of them
when dropped.

will continue farming. One of the
main hopes is that there will even
tually be, once more, normal supply
Of city-made goods.
European Demand Still Exists
European countries are still taking
American farm products. The demand
Is there, Hubbard says, but European
countries are not paying as much as
formerly, due to their unstable finan-
cial condition. The goods are taken
without needing the producers cry for
a fair price.
Hubbard feels that the tariff on agri-
cultural products is Ineffective so far
as 1t applies to our great exports of
wheat, cotton. and meat products. The
tariff Is. "a guard on incoming products
and cannot Increase the price on COM
modities which move outward.
Likewise, he views the farmers
strike as a poor weapon, to be used
sparingly. Farmers are not so closely
organized as those labor groups which
