DIFFERENT? MAYBE-BUT NOT WORSE

"Ah well; those who now fear for the young

The foregoing paragraph was taken from one
of our exchanges and comes nearer to being the
truth than most of US willing to admit.
Many of the older generation berating in
no uncertain tone what they call "these young up
starts for their sinful and Grant ways, and APP
parent disrespect for their parents.
But is it true, are the young boys and girls of
today worse than the boys and girls of yesterday?
We believe not VI.
Fashion decreed years ago that women wear
hoop skirts, the abomnable hustle and skirts that
dragged in the mire-but today the fapper, her
mother and grandmother have thrown off the shack
les and have gained a new freedom, such has
never been known to exist before. These things
have always startled those, who by the younger
generation conceded to he "old fogies," and
then the cry of sinfulness goes FORTH
Our boys and girls of today will accomplish
just much, if not more, for the welfare of their
homes and country, did their forefathers during
their period of life. They will he prepared to carry
on where their fathers left off, and will be equally
good citizens

Farm Diversifcafion
Depends on Highways
All-Year Highways Needed for
Mixed Farming-Dairy States
Lead in Road Building

Minnesota is one of the five
states with the greatest number Of
miles of surfaced roads, state ant
local. Minnesota has more thar
"a, 900 miles surfaced with grave
or better material. The only -four
states with a greater mileage are
Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and New
York. 1t is significant that dairy.
ing and other forms of diversified
farming are practiced to large
extent in all these states.
Diversified farming created the
first demand for good roads, and
improved highways in turn pro
mote diversified farming. Milk
and cream, butter and eggs, must
be marketed at regular and fire.
quent intervals, and poultry, live
stock and garden products must he
sold when in prime condition and
when the market is favorable. This
was not the case with the main
products in the early days. Grain
could be hauled when the sleigh
ing was good, or when the roads
were dry. Timber was cut in
winter and skidded or hauled on
sleighs to the nearest saw mill or
river.
Growth of the cities has also
stimulated the demand for better
roads. At the 1920 census, $685.
900 people, more than a third of
the states total, lived in cities of
more than 10000. As the cities
grow, milk, cream, eggs and veg
etables must be brought from a
larger and larger area. Trucks
carrying dairy and poultry pro-
ducts, potatoes, vegetables and
live stock are seen on the trunk
highways all over the state every
day of the year.
The trunk highway plan, which
makes motor vehicle owners pay
the whole cost of keeping up the
main through routes, has relieved
the local units of this expense and
permitted them to spend all their
money on the secondary roads. It
has enabled the counties to get
much more for their road money
than when roads were built with
out plans or engineering supervis-
ion. In many counties the town
boards are also availing them
selves of the county-highway en-
gineer's services.
Minnesota still has many thous-
ands of miles of roads unsurfaced,
but majority of the farmers are
within mile of a surfaced road
Many of the state aid and county
roads, due to lighter traffic, are in
condition than some of the trunk

In selecting former Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner liver Bowen to handle the campaign
of Herbert Hoover in Minnesota good judgment was
used. In Minnesota elsewhere in the nation, the
demand for the nomination of MIR. Hoover by the
Republicans at the Kansas City convention next
June, is increasing. The wise course tor the North
Star State will be to elect men of integrity and
ability delegates to the Narional convention and

which the field had been reseeded
naturally, and which had been
given no attention except for some
protection against fire. About ], 600
trees were cut, nearly every one of
them making two poles. The return
to the owner was nearly SIS per
acre for each of the pine-growing
period. According TO forest Off
GERS, this return might have been
doubled if he had practiced a lit
tie timber culture, done his own
cutting and hauling, and sold the
crop at the railroad by the linear
foot. That is the method he used
in marketing his cotton and pota-
toes.
Here is a simple method of
testing sand to find out whether it
had too much clay with it to make
a desirable concrete. Put 4 inches
of the sand into a pint preserving
jar. Fill the jar with clear water
to within an inch of the top. Faste-
en- the lid. Shake the jar thorough
ly until the whole is well mixed.
Set the jar aside and allow the con-
tents to settle. The sand will go
to the bottom. The clay and loan
will form a layer on top of the
sand. If more than three-eights
of an inch of clay or loan shows,
the sand is not clean enough for
making concrete. Either a new
source of sand must be found or
the sand must be washed to rid it
of the surplus of clay and loan.

AT an estimated value of 10
cents each, which is very low, the
wild birds of the United States pre-
vent an increase in the annual dam
age done by insects of at least
$444, 100000. Do all you can for
the birds, urges the United States
Department of Agriculture, and
our bill for insect damage will
still further decrease.
