A DECEPTIVE PHRASE IN ROAD
BUILDING

Washington, D. c., November L
From the passage of the first high
way law at jamestown in 1882 down
to this good hour, the whole course
of highway progress is strewn, in a
figurative sense, with the debris of
impractical ideas. No sooner was
one illusion dispelled than another
showed up, until by and by the first
illusion was back again, clothed in
its customary habiliments of false
logic. Experiments, legislative and
otherwise, have cost the taxpayers
of this country a pretty penny, and
1t is not amiss to be on guard
against the deceptive phrases in
highway educational work which
tend toward wasteful and altogether
Impractical highway investments.
One illusion which has been laid
low many times in state and national
legislative debate on highway mat
ters during the past twelve years.
again threatens to show I'D, and will
result only in confusion in the pub
lie mind as to what constitutes true
highway progress.
This illusion is cloaked as before
in the misleading phrase of ''farm to
market" roads and carries with it
an implication that the farmers in
terests are not being taken care of
properly, that he is being left in the
mud, while roads are being built
elsewhere, despite the fact that ev-
cry road is farm to market road.
regardless of whether construction
starts at the farmers gate or at the
more logical point where tonnage be-
gins to converge and increase on the
way to his trading point. It is his
road and his neighbor's road all the
way. The phrase is demogogic in
the extreme, whether its aim be DO
litical or otherwise. That any plan
which has for its main objective the
securing of Federal Aid on back
roads is impossible of practical full
fillment at the present state in road
building, may be seen readily from a
glance at the back road.
The impossibility of the practical
fulfillment of plan of this kind is
readily seen when the details are
given sufficient study. In the first
place, there are approximately l.
100000 miles of mail route roads. If
$225, 100000 should be appropriated
to cover a three year period as has
been proposed in Congress with the
aim of creating a secondary FEEDER
al Aid zone in road building, the
amount which might thus be made
available for back roads would not
approximate over 1890 per mile per
year, taking Federal Aid and the
states share together. The per mile
fund so provided would be less than
the annual per mile maintenance
cost on the type of road which so
limited fund would be able to buy.
And this does not take into con-
sideration the fact that in appropri-

OPEN SEASON FOR COLDS

Now that the open season for
colds is here the following simple
precautions offered by the American
Medical Association, if observed,
would likely go long way to keep
ing one free from colds: Wash hands
before eating. Don't shake hands
with persons who have colds. Keep
away from common drinking cups,
etc. Give coughers, sneezers, ETC., a
wide berth. Avoid contact with
those with the flu. Guard against un-
necessary exposure. Avoid sudden
changes in temperature as well as
stuffy, close air. Look after bodily
cleanliness, elimination of waste,
and diet. Rest. If you catch cold
try to keep away from others; keep
clean, and thus try to avoid spread
ing the infection to others.-The
Pathfinder.

ating Federal funds for highways, it
is required that the money must be
spent under Federal and state super
vision, which naturally would en-
tail additional expense on the part
of Federal and state governments, so
that the money referred to could not
all be expended on the highway.
The impracticability of the plan is
readily apparent and would really
defeat the purpose for which even
its friends contemplate. Besides, this
proposed plan would naturally take
from the Federal treasury funds
that should be expended in complet-
ing the main system already under
construction, every mile of which
is farm to market" road.
Altogether, such step would lead
back to the very thing which caused
many states to embody in their re-
spective constitutions the inhibition,
as it was usually termed, against
pledging the states credit to so per-
ishable project as an earth road.
1t required hard work and many leg
islative sessions throughout the
country to remove these constitu-
tional limitations in order to obtain
capital for modern construction, and
it is not to be expected that the gov
ernment, Federal or state, will be
led back to the making of ephemeral
highway investments of this char
acter.

EACTS FOR I
Z ARM FOLKS%
WEAVING SMALL PIGS
Ru DIR. John NJ. EYvard

By DR.. John M. EVVard
Weaning time is most successfully
accomplished by forethought coup
led with the application OF feeding
nractises which contribute to a max
imum healthy growth of the sucking
pigs. Those pigs which gain most
rapidly during the sucking period
are much more easily weaned than
those which come along slowly.
IT has been our experience that
pigs we'll fed on adequate rat1ons
practically wean themselves for they
have learned to do it directly from
the trough rather than to depend too
largely on the udders of their mo-
theirs.
We have found it most profitable
under most conditions to selt-teeo
the sows and tkeir litters, practising
the free choice style method. Allow a
shelled corn, preferably yellow, IN
one feeder, a good pig starter IN
second feeder and salt in the third
feeder. High class pasture should
also be at hand-pasture such as al
falfa. or led clover or rape or young
tender succulent bluegrass.
Under such conditions of feeding,
the pigs soon gain independence be-
cause they are stimulated to eat
from the same troughs that supply
nutriment for their mothers. When
feeders are allowed as stated the
"creep" method is not necessary.
Thus much labor is saved in this
regard and likewise the results Sc
cured are better than when the sows
are left on limited rations and their
pigs are given access to a creep. If
the feeder skimps the SOW along,
then of course( a creep should be
provided in which shelled corn or
other good basal feed is given along
side of good pig starter.
By practising the ideal self-feed-
ing free choice method one finds that
weaving time is approached natural
ly by the pigs and at approximately
two months of age the mothers may
be removed to other quarters and
the pigs will go right ahead without
missing the dining tables set by
their mothers.

CHECKING POULTRY PESTS
Rv PROT. H. D. Munroe

Red mites and body lice can cause
a lot of trouble in the laying flock
from now on until real cold weather.
Poultry mites or red mites are the
bed bug of the chicken. These bugs
suck blood from the hen at night. If
they are not controlled, low produc-
ton and sick birds will be the re-
suit of their actions. Mites are con-
trolled by painting the roosts with
used crank case oil once month, or
by painting the roost less often with
coal tar product such as carboline-
um. Do not dilute the material used
with kerosene.
Body lice of poultry are easily
controlled by painting little nico-
tine sulphate, or black leaf 40, on
the top of the roost just before the
birds go to roost. An oil can or Ane
paint brush is used to apply it. One
half pint is enough for 100 feet of
roosting space. Two treatments a
year are sufficient.

MESSICK'S SCHOOL NOTES

Messick's now has an enrolment
of "a pupils. This is full school and
considerably larger than most rural
schools of today. That of course
means that we should be able to do
great many more things than a
school where there are only ten or
twelve pupils.
Last week dodge ball teams were
organized.
We also have a club. Miss Moore,
county club agent, visited us last
week and gave an interesting talk
on "The Judging of Hens" AS re-
suit of our chicken club we hope to
be able to judge our hens so that we
may make more money from them.
The spelling classes have been
trying hard to make 100 per cent per
pupil. To date Thomas Elliott is the
only one who has succeeded in max
ing 100 per cent each day. There are
many others who have misspeeled
only one word in their written work
this month. This is a very good rec
ord.
Our school was on the honor roll
for good attendance last month. Let
us try harder to make even higher
percentage next month.
On November l, Friday evening, at
1880, our second P. T. A. meeting
will be held. The meeting promises
to be interesting. The children have
prepared several Halloween songs
and jokes which will add to the en-
joyment of all.
The business meeting will be short
this month. There is not a great
amount of business to be transacted
so we will have some time for fun
and still get home early.
The teacher and pupils use this
medium to express their thanks for
the splendid attendance Of our last
meeting. We also extend to you a
cordial invitation to attend this one.
This invitation applies not only to
the parents but to the people of the
entire community. We wish to make |
Messick's a place where the mem
bers of the community may meet |
once a month in order to have a |
good time; also in order that they |
may keep in touch with the pro-
gress of the schools in Delaware.
