level, but if this is not practical,
easy grades without any sharp an
giles are provided.
Marrow bridges and approaches
are both a hazard and delay traffic.
New bridges are built to allow the
same number of traffic lanes as
the roadway, and approaches are
the same width, with ample shout
ders. Fills near bridge abutments
are carefully tamped to prevent
formation of bumps at the bridge
at the bridge ends. If the road is
gravel, it is part of the mainten-
ance job to see that no bumps are
formed. The maintenance men also
see that washout, if they occur
near the bridge approaches, are
promptly filed.
1t is our aim to keep traffic NOV
ing safely" says Commissioners C.
M. Babcock. 1--WE keep that in mind
in construction, in maintenance and
in the work of the highway patrol
Adequate bridge approaches are
part of the program. No road is
of any value without necessary
bridges, but bridges are not better
than their approaches. Bridges and
approaches should neither endanger
nor delay traffic.

ing lands has declined least where
the most livestock is found on
farms. Taking the country as
whole, general farm land suffered
an average 80 per cent decline in
value compared with the value of
the same land in 1920. 1t has been
found in farming areas where
dairy products provide the princi-
pal sources of income that land
values are up to and in some cases
above the land values as reported
in 1920 for the same areas.
The age old story that exclusive
"cash crop farming is not the
most profitable agricultural prac-
tice is borne out in the census fig
ures. The greatest decreases in
land values are found in the strict
ly cotton growing sections of the
south and the cash grain growing
sections of the central west. In
direct comparison, it is shown that
in the sections where dairy cows
make up the bulk of the animal
population used to convert home
grown roughages and grain into
animal products, from Maine to
Virginia and from New York to
Minnesota, land values have held
their own and in many cases in
creased the value of the lands over
the 1920 values.
This condition is mostly due to
the fact that farm crops convert
ed into dairy products have brought
good prices and because the de-
mand for butterfat, cream and milk
assures farmers steady, depend
able income

A $4,000 BIBLE

A FRIEND OF BoYHooD

How the Boy Scout movement was first brought
to America is recalled by the recent death of Will
liam d. Boyce, well-known Chicago publisher, who
was the original incorporation of the movement in
the United States.
While visiting London about twenty years ago.
Mr.. Boyce became confused in fog and lost his
way. Meeting boy the street. he asked to be
directed to his hotel, and the boy personally escort
ed him there. When Boyce offered him tip, it was
refused with thanks, the lad saying II am a Boy
Scout"
This so aroused Boyces interest that he inquired
about the organization and conferred with leaders
of the movement in London, with the result that he
determined to promote similar organization in
America, which he did. Thus four million American
boys have had the benefit of scout training largely
result of the good turn" of unknown Boy
Scout.
Similar movements had been originated by David
Carter Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton in the
United States, all finally being merged in the Boy
Scouts of America, which William D. Boyce mater
tally aided in financing for several years.
He was true friend of boyhood, and his mem
DRY will be cherished by the great organization in
whose development he took such a conspicuous part.

Bridge Approaches Are
Sometimes Dangerous
But Highway Department Tries to
Make Them Safe, in Line with
General Policy

Highway safety has many angles.
One item which might seem trivial
is bridge approaches, yet they have
been responsible for many acct
dents. Improvement of bridge APP
proaches is one Of many ways in
which the Minnesota Highway de-
partment tries to make the high
ways safe for travel.
When the state established the
trunk highway system in 1921,
there were about 1,40O bridges in
the 1000 miles of highway. Some
of them were old, narrow and dan
gerous to modern motor troffic. In
many cases, the bridges were good
but the approaches were dangerous.
The department first of all put up
warning signs calling attention to
sharp turns and other hazards, and
then took up the job of removing
the hazards, as rapidly as funds
permit.
In many cases approaches to old
bridges have been widened. Guard
rails have been erected where nee
essary. Where possible, sharp
1
turns have been taken out of the
approaches, but in many cases this
could not be done without rebuild
ing the bridge.
Since the state took over the
trunk routes, 55S new bridges have
been built, Gncluding those built
by the counties in 1919 and 1920
with reimbursement BY the state.s
In many cases the desire to get
safe approaches was one of the
reasons for building new bridge,
in a few cases the sole reason.
New bridges are built, as far as
4 possible, in direct line with the
highway. Where this is not prac-
teal, curves are placed as far from
the bridge as possible, and made
with sufficient radius so there will
be no excuse for cars going off the
road This also gives sight distance
so drivers may see other cars.
"Skew bridges are not built tod
day.
Up and down grades are also
avoided. If possible both the
