either at the county court house OF
at the state capital. The whole con-
troversy was shot through with pol
itics and selfish aims.
But in due time, the truth began to
dawn upon the public that the road
was an economic and not a political
tool, and from that time forward its
development according to modern
standards became easier going.
The main job was wheeled around
from township and county to state
and interstate, logically beginning
where traffic is heaviest, and it is
precisely at this point where the in
terests of motorists and other tax
payers are being helped and safe
guarded in the cooperative princi-
pie under which the state and Fed
eral Governments are carrying the
work forward. The important point
now is to keep the job moving
steadily toward the completion Of
heavily travelled roads first.
Next-Where the job actually
stands in mileage after twelve years
work.

CARELESS WASHING OF FRUIT
SPREADS STORAGE DISEASES

Washing fruit to remove spray
residue is another of the newer prac-
tices which add to the market value
of the product when the job is prop
erly done. But when carelessly done
washing may be the means of
spreading storage rots, according to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
For the past two years the wash
ing treatment has been used COM
mercially and has proved its value,
says d. F. Fisher, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry of the Department,
who is conducting Investigations in
this phase of fruit handling. "Com-
prehensive studies and surveys COW
ering important shipping points and
all the larger marketing centers,"
he points out, "have shown conclu-
sively that both in storage and on
the market washed fruit holds up as
we'll or better than that which is
unwashed, and in addition it usually

HIGH LIGHTS IN
HIGHWAY PROGRESS
For the Information of Motorists
By James w. Brooks

by James w. Brooks
Director, American Highway Educa-
tional Bureau, Washington, D. C.
Washington, D. C. October 18-
Road building under the present
plan of Federal cooperation with
states has been in actual operation
about twelve years. During that time
there has been a growth in the mo-
tor industry and achievements in
highway construction that are not
generally realized by the public.
Also, 1t is not generally known that
the states themselves have taken the
leadership in road building to such
an extent that their own expendi-
lures in this form Of public invest
ment have gone far beyond like ex-
penditures on the part of the Fed
eral Government. In other words
they have outstripped Federal Aid,
in their zeal to complete their re-
spective state systems as early as
possible.
1t will be the aim therefore to
concisely restate the whole highway
project for the purpose Of making
clear the logical steps by which
roads have been brought to their
present state of improvement, bear
ing in mind the fact that the origi-
nal job for which the Federal Aid
plan was devised is as yet little
more than 26 per cent complete,
when measured by public require
ments for substantially built roads
over which traffic may move at les
sened fuel cost and upon which road
repair expense may be held to a
minimum.
Only those upon whom the duties
of road building have been placed in
a heavy and fast traffic age can ap-
preciate the time it has taken and
the extreme patience which has been
required to separate road building
into its logical economic divisions.
These divisions are township. coun-
ty, state, and interstate. They have
been forced by the necessity Of es-
tablishing responsible construction
units through which the motorists

offers more attractive appearance.
"The principal hazard in washing
apples, aside from increases in rots
due to punctures resulting from ex-
ira handling, is caused by soluble
arsenic, derived from the spray resi-
due itself This injury is usually
localized at the blossom end," says
Mr.. Fisher. For this reason, he
says, varieties characterized by a
large proportion of open calyx
tubes-such as Jonathan, Stayman
Winesap, Spitzenburg, and some
times Delicious-should be sprayed
rather than immersed in the clean
ing solution. Other varieties such
as Rome Beauty, Winesap, Ben
Davis, Arkansas Black, and Yellow
Newtown may be immersed without
danger of starting core rots.
The department recommends that
the washing solution be changed af-
ter about 500 bushels Of apples or
the equivalent in other fruits has
been treated in each 100 gallons of
chemical solvent. 1t also advises
that fruit be dried as quickly as pos
sible after the washing.
