Time of Farm SURPRISES
Over, Says College Dean

There has been much talk about
farm SURPRISES. These have been
growing smaller with great rapidity,
and the time when deficits will be the
rule rather than SURPRISES, is closer
perhaps than many of you think" said
Edward G. Johnson, dean of agricul-
ture, in a radio talk on the agricul-
tural profession given recently over
radio KFAE
when these come, the farmer will
be in a strategic position. Training
for scientific farming, therefore, and
for agricultural business of various
kinds, will make it possible for our
young men to realize the many op.
portunities that are bound to come in
the agricultural field"
1T is well known that about one
third of the people of the country live
on the farm. On the other hand, less
than per cent of all the male stu
dents enrolled in the colleges of the
country are securing an agricultural
education. In other words there are
less than Z per cent of our students
preparing themselves for an occupa
ton in which about 80 per cent of the
people are engaged. That looks as
though there would be opportunity for
everyone of the right character who
is now equipping himself for work in
the agricultural field"

Grand Rapids, Mich, appears to be
one city which is successfully pre-
venting traffic accidents to children
by the playground method. Year
around Fairgrounds provide recrea-
tional facilities for thousands of city
youngsters removed from the hazards
of the street. According to Henry w.
Lightner, city recreation director, a
one-cent admission charged to each
person who used the Fairgrounds last
year would have meant sum twice
as large as the total budget allowed
for playground purposes in 1924. Fa-
cilities are provided for swimming.

Encouragement Shown
Youthful Inventor Paws

Not so long ago public interest be-
came attracted to the plan fathered
by Edward H. Jewett Of encouraging
youthful inventive interest in the
radio world. Somehow or other it
became known that at the Jewett
plant there was always sympathetic
hearing of the young idea.
AS always, in the discussion which
attaches to such news, good deal of
sentiment was mixed in with opinions.
Mr.. Jewett protested that there was
nothing sentimental about it, nor
philanthropic; that it was simply
practical encouragement to youth with
the certainty of yielding profitable
discoveries.
How right he was is illustrated in
the case Of the new Jewett receiving
set, which takes its place among his
factory's products for the forthcom
ing radio season. The engineer who
| did nearly all of the major develop
| ment work on the set-an eighteen
months job, by the way is Edward H
| Clark, one of the youngsters who
found encouragement at the hands Of
Mr.. Jewett's staff. AS yet there has
been no opportunity for public yer
dict of the set, but the trade opinion
is said to be very high. 1t is 5-tube
tuned radio frequency set; two radio
detector and two. audio. 1t has two
controls. Several Of the features arr

Public Ownership Calamity.

mo greater calamity could come to
the United States" says the current
issue of the International Interpreter,
than to nationalize it's industries,
particularly it's basic industries Of
transportation and power.
Private initiative and the neces-
sity to be economical in order to earn,
are vital to the obtaining of cheap and
efficient power and transportation
The profit on private capital is but
small insurance to pay for efficiency
The necessity to earn is vital
"The sinecure of a political job is
deadening. Private ownership means
cheap power and plenty of it; public
ownership means costly power and
but little of that. We cannot warn
too strongly against any encroachment
by state or nation on these vital
utilities.
Free and economical development
is needed and is being accomplished
Government control and regulation is
salutary If along sound lines. Some
of the foolish restrictions should be
abrogated, but wise control looking
to development for the benefit of the
whole people is highly desirable.
GAS a closing word we call atten-
ton to the splendid Investment op-
portunities in the bonds and stocks
of these public utilities. Hundreds of
millions Of dollars must go into these
enterprises annually, and what more
fitting place for the savings Of the
people?
LET the people own these enter
prises by investing in their securities
They are infinitely more suitable foi
investment than thousands Of new
ventures used to lure savings. They
represent the sound development o.
the United States along progressive
lines. They have passed the periot
of danger inherent in new enterprises
and in most instances afford legiti
mate opportunity for steady return o
profit. No better investment can b'
found anywhere, although of course
discrimination in selection Is Away
necessary"

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow
The management of growing chicks
and probably their inherited ability to
mature rapidly play an important part
in the number and quality of eggs
they will produce when mature, &C
cording to R. T. Parkhurst, head OF
the University of Idaho poultry de
partment. From study of the rec
ords of the University breeding flock
of single comb White Leghorns, the
following facts have been noted:
Pullets maturing quickly as indi-
Gated by the number of days from the
time Matched to the date of the first
egg, lay more eggs from the time they
start laying to March 1 and through
out the year than those maturing
slowly.
Pullets that begin laying early
weigh less when they start laying
than those that take longer time to
mature.
Slow maturing pullets lay larger
eggs when they start to lay than
those maturing early.
The more a pullet weighs when she
starts laying, the heavier will be the
first ten eggs.
The small pullet at the time laying
starts lays more eggs by March
than the large pullet.
The greater the maximum weight
of the pullet for the year, the heavier
the average egg weights for the year
There is no relation existing be
tween the yearly record and the aver
age weight of eggs for the year.
The pullets used in this experiment
were of the Archie Larson strain but

Road Builders to Hold
International Meeting

Prior to the last five years Ameri-
can highway engineers were more or
less in the habit of going to Europe to
observe the latest developments in
highway construction. Today the re-
verse is true. So rapid and so ex-
tensive has been the development Of
roadbuilding in America that Euro
pean highway engineers are now COM
ing to this country for the purpose of
studying the materials, methods and
machinery employed in the building
of roads.
According to Charles M Upham,
state highway engineer of North Car
DINA, former secretary, American As
ISOLATION of State Highway Officials,
director Highway Research Board,
National Research Council, and con-
vention and exposition manager Am
erican Road Builders Association,
January II to Is next, inclusive, will
be an International instead of ma
tional affair. 1t is under the auspices
of the American Road Builders Asso-
citation that this big dual event is held
each year.
"At the last convention" said Mr.
Upham, Representatives from 20 for.
eign countries were present. For the
next event, invitations will be sent
not only to those countries represent.
ed last year, but to all the others in.
viting them to send delegates and ar.
rangements will be worked out for
their special entertainment. Invita-
tons will be sent also to the mem
bers Of the Pan-American Highway
Commission and to all those who at
tend it's international convention in
Buenos Aires this fall
1--WE plan to make the next good
roads convention and exposition in
Chicago the greatest of it's kind ever
held in the world. At this early date
many applications for exhibition space
at the exposition have been received
Many new developments in road build
ing materials, methods and machinery
have been brought out since the last
exposition, and all these will be on
display. At the last exposition more
than 300 carloads Of machinery were
on exhibition at the Coliseum and in
adjacent buildings, and 10000 persons
from the United States, Canada, Mex
leo and other foreign countries were
in attendance. We expect from $4,000
to 10000 visitors at the next event."
w. H. Cornell, chief engineering ex.
ecutive, Pennsylvania State Highway
Department, who is the president of
the American Road Builders Associa-
ton this year, is making arrangements
for the next convention conference to
meet in two divisions, one section pre-
senting papers and discussing the en-
cheering phases Of road building and
the other dealing with construction
problems.
