When man man is sick he calls
the doctor. He has faith in the doctor
as long as the doctor makes him bet
ter But when he finds that the ply
sician has diagnosed the case incor-
rectly or is using treatment which
does not bring back health he either
changes doctors or asks for a consul
tation.
Sick for good roads the American
people called in a doctor (Congress)
and received a "first-aidp treatment,
called Federal aid by which the physi-
clan ordered from the pharmacy (the
Public Treasury sufficient dollars to
help the various parts of the United
| States to build new arteries.
| But the United States needs not a
few but very large number of new
arteries, and the prescription of the
doctor isn't producing them in time
to save the economic life of the pa
tient.
Is it, therefore, not the part of wis
dom to ask for a consultation, and
have the doctor confer with other
physicians with another and a newer
vision of the illness of poor roads and
the method of their cure?
One of the cures advocated, and the
only one which hasn't been tried il
the appointment of National High
ways Commission, to consider and re-
port to the Congress on the subject o.
establishing, building, and forevel
maintaining a system of national high
ways. States which tried State aie
and found it did not cure have triet
State highway commissions and foun(
they did cure; why should not thu
United States find as whole the same
good result the several States have
found for themselves?
Grads are national not a State
problem Transportation is national
not State problem. Only the Ma
ton can adequately and intelligibl,
lay out system of roads for the Ma
ton, and only the Nation can afforc
to build and maintain such highway

which $500 persons contributed their
services towards putting on condition
mountain sections of the Eastern
Dixie Highway thru route south
from Cincinnati to Cumberland Gap,

Miami, Fla, participated in the work
of reconstructing these sections of the
route.
The Governors of Kentucky, In
diana Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida helped
construct a mile on each free day.
The volunteers gathered at Pineville,

UNITED STATES NOT
SOLVING ROAD
PROBLEM. CLAIMED
National Highway Commission Ne.
ceSSary

At a conser ton called by President
Coolidge ~ Washington, 10 consider
tie subiec: OF Outdoor Recreation,
Er. S. At. ,IN&son, vice-l res dent of
the National Highways Association
spoke on the subject of National
Highways and National Parks. In
the course of his remarks he brought
out the fact that in spite of the enor-
nous sums of money now being spent
on roads, the problem is not being
met in any effective way He said,
in part:
"The Federal government is mot
backing the roadLbuilding program as
it should. In addition to this, the
present plan, under which Congress
appropriates money and distributes it
to the states to be expended in the
construction of the Federal aid system
of roads, while vast improvement
upon the policy is superseded, is not
resulting in the proper degree of con-
centration upon the main trunk lines
which are needed to connect section
with section, seaooast with mountain,
coast with coast, the frozen north with
the sunny skies of Florida and the
southern tier of states; and the rest of
the United States with such recrea-
tional areas as those of New England
and New York, the southern high
lands and the great National Parks.
This is due in no part to- Mr. Mac
Donald, chief of the Bureau of Public
roads, or to his associates, but to the
policy and in some instances the law
of some of the states in which Fed
eral funds are being applied to the
building of roads of lesser conse-
quence to the neglect of great through
routes reaching from ocean to ocean.
"The remedy for this condition is
to nationa1ize the great arterial roads,
such as serve the whole Nation. The
Congress should create National
Highway and Parkway Commission
Selection should be made of certain
arterial roads north and south and east
and west for first completion. The
States and counties should be reim-
bursed for all they have expended on
these roads and the Federal Govern
ment should take them over and finish
/ them without further delay, at its own
expense, and thereafter bear all the
cost of keeping them in perfect con-
dition.
"The scope of this work should in
c1ude parkways. Wherever these
great main trunk lines traverse for
ests, a right of way at least 1000 feet
wide on either side should be secured
and forever preserved as a port of the
roadside landscape.

Insects are just about the worst
agricultural people to face, a writer
for a farm publication has declared,
and certainly there is no insect prob
lem facing farmer that it more Sc.
rious than the boil weevil problem
to the cotton farmer, unless he ap-
plies correct and proven methods of
control. 1t is impossible to eradicate
the boil weevil, it is believed, but by
the use of the government method
Of poisoning with calcium arsenate
the insect can be controlled and a
, profitable crop made.
1t will pay to poison, experts saw.
II the weevils are injuring the crop
seriously; if the land is sufficiently
fertile to yield at least one third of
q bale to the acre with weevil In
jury eliminated; if the FARMING or
ganization is such that applications
Of poison at the right time and in
the right manner are assured, and II
the farmer is willing to spend the
amount necessary to provide an ade.
quate supply Of busting machinery
| and poison.
One pre-square poison application
should be made wherever twenty on
more boil weevils appear on an acre
OF young cotton, scientists say. The
treatment should be applied at the
first indication of squaring, Home
mixed molasses-calcium arsenate mix
ture applied with a mop to yne tips
Of the plants. or straight calcium
arsenate in dust form applied either
by machine or shaking the dust from
sack, are recommended at this
stage.
The usual formula for the molasses
mixture is as follows: / pound of
calcium arsenate, 1 gallon of molas.
ses, gallon Of water, or with extreme
ly heavy infestation and with fire..
quent rains, stronger mixture con-
tanning pounds Of calcium arsenate,
gallon OF table quality syrup and
" gallon. Of water. The latter may
give quicker and better control Syrup
should always be sweet or unferment-
ed and the mixture should be applied
within twenty four hours after mix
ing.
For the treatment Of fruiting cot
ton the calcium arsenate busting
method Is recommended in preference
to late season applications Of syrup
mixtures or other liquid poisons yet
tested. busting should begin when
10 per cent of the squares show wee
vii puncture and at least three appli-
cations of to pounds per acre
should be given at four and five day
intervals. Thereafter dust should be
applied only as when needed to keep
the infestation below 20 per cent I'M
til after full crop of bolls has been
set and become grown. Only machin-
cry built especially for busting cotton
should be used.
