Minnesota Near the Top
In Good Graveled Roads
State Is Among Leaders in Trunk
and Local Road improvements,
Except Paving

Minnesota is near the top of the
list among good roads states both
in local and state road work, ex-
cept paving, according to data coll
ected by u. S. Bureau of Public
Roads. Separate tables showing
milage of state and local roads
built in 1929 and existing millage at
the end of 1929, have been received
by Commissioner G. M. Babcock,
who furnishes a summary of the
figures for several of the leading
states.
A total of 1927 miles of local
roads were graded or surfaced in
1929 in Minnesota, according to the
figures, all roads outside the trunk
highway system being included in
these figures. Wisconsin was the
only state with a larger figure
1851. States which improved mil
ages nearly as large as Minnesota
were Ohio, 3,239; California, 3,045;
Iowa, 1896; South Dakota, 1888
Nine states improved from 1000 to
1000 miles.
Under Local roads-Existing
Millage at end of 1929, the total
for Minnesota is given at 103,59s
and the totals surfaced at 28,77e
Only two states Indiana with 49,
352 and Ohio with 1852, have a
larger total of surfaced local roads
South Dakota, and Texas, have a
larger total milage. Of the surfaced
local roads in Minnesota, $50 miles
are paved, 90 macadam, 22,761
graveled and 5,771 sand-clay sur.
faced.
Under milage of trunk highways
improved during 1929, the Bureau
credits Minnesota with 2,265, this
figure including pavement, new
gravel, bituminous treatment and
re-graveling. Wisconsin and Kans-
os are the only states credited with
a larger total.
Minnesota built iii miles of new
pavement in 1929. Nineteen states
built more pavement, Iowa leading
with 739. others near the top being
New York with 634, Illinois, GA;
South Carolina, 457; Missouri. 451;
Pennsylvania, 443; Texas, Ali;
Michigan, 1878; Indiana, 322.
In the table on existing mileage
of trunk highways at the end of
1929, Minnesota is credited with
6,723 miles surfaced out of total
of $685.. Only four states, New
York with 1O,9O8, Texas with TO-
1896. Ohio with 1O,S51 and Wiscon-
sin with $3.50, have a larger mile
age of surfaced trunk highways,
these states also having a larger
total mileage of trunk highways
than Minnesota. Only six states
have smaller non-surfaced mile
age, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio.
Of Minnesota's surfaced trunk
highways, 5,575 miles are classed as
Glow type" surfacing, the bureau in

Wheat is Excellent Feed for Chick

Wheat is Excellent Feed for Chick
ems
The story of the little red hen
and the kernel of wheat furnishes
a practical suggestion for the poul-
tryman with wheat prices at their
present low level, says Prof. A. G..
Smith, chief of the poultry division,
University Farm, st. Paul. Be
cause of its popularity and it's good
balance of nutritive elements,
wheat is considered the best single
grain for poultry, says Mr.. Smith,
and is an excellent feed for grow
ing, finishing or laying.
Wheat contains less fat and oil,
but more starch and protein than
corn, and therefore is more nearly
a balanced ration than is corn
alone. Another advantage of feed
ing wheat in preference to corn is
that wheat may be fed whole to
chickens three weeks old or over
while corn INST be cracked, at least
for growing stock. Ground wheat
in mash may replace standard
middlings where this practise is
found to be cheaper.
Since wheat is somewhat defici-
ent in Vitamin A, poultrymen sub
stituting wheat for yellow corn,
which is rich in this vitamin, must
pay somewhat more attention to
providing an adequate green feed
supply. Chickens on range, Mr..
Smith says, will get plenty Of Wit
amin A. but those that are confin-
ed should receive plenty Of tender
green feed or of chopped leafy
alfalfa hay.
