in progress.
On the 41,OOO-mile Interstate
system, 9,579 miles are open to
traffic and 1928 billion has been
spent. There are 4,575 miles under
construction and engineering work
or right-of-way acquisition is in
progress on another 1888 miles.
Estimates received by Pierce
from the National Safety Council
indicate that the Interstate roads
already built have saved about g.
600 lives, that the system will save
10000 more lives in the next 10
years if construction proceeds as
planned, and that by 1870, it will
be saving lives at the rate of al
most 5000 a year. 1t also is esti-
mated that users will save at least
81 billion year in lower operat-
ing costs and in prevention of ac-
cidents. They also will benefit from
the new or expanded business and
industry, added jobs, increased tax
revenues, greater land values, and
general prosperity expected to
come to the towns, cities, and re-
gions served. And if war mobiliza-
ton should be necessary, these
roads would be invaluable in NOV
ing troops and military equipment,
transporting goods to and between
factories, rushing aid to a stricken
city, evacuating an area, or NOV
ing military equipment from place
to place,

B BETTER HIGHWAYS
ARE ADVOCATED BY
CONTRACTORS GRIP.

The Carolinas Branch, Associat-
ed General Contractors of Amer
lea, is joining in nationwide eff
fort to inform the people of the
importance of better highways in
their everyday lives and in nation
al defense.
The purpose of the program is
to develop the support of an en-
lightened public for legislation
which would provide an adequate
system of highways for the coun-
try.
Henry J. Pierce of Charlotte,
managing director of the organi-
cation, explains that the Federal
Aid Highway Act of 1856 estab-
lished long-range balanced high
way construction program designed
to meet traffic demands anticipat-
ed in the year 1875. Although sub
stantial progress has been made,
the funds available are not suffi-
cient to complete the job, and the
1861 Congress must decide wheth-
er the program is to be cut back,
stretched out, or kept on schedule
by proper financing.
"We believe better highways
save lives, time, and money, and
are essential to our country's safe
ty," Pierce said. eve believe, too,
that the people want the kind of
highway system that meets their
needs, and are willing to pay for
it."
The 1856 Act outlines work to be
done on two parts of the nations
road system. The first part con-
Germs the so-called ABC highways,
the system of more than $4,000
miles of primary highways, Sec
ondary or feeder roads, and their
urban extensions. 1t continues fed
eral aid to the states for the ABC
system on a fifty-fifty matching
basis and accelerates the program
to improve and extend these roads.
The second part provides for the
of a 41,000-mile net
work of limited-access express
ways, known as the National Sys-
tenn of Interstate and Defense
Federal funds for these
highways are matched on 80 per ;
cent federal, 10 per cent state bas-
IS, a ratio which was established
10 insure uniform construction and
completion of the
system in all states. AS planned,
he Interstate system will link al
most all cities with population
IF $4,000 or more and also AZ of /
he state capitals, directly serving
more than half of the population
IF the entire country, and almost !
half of the rural population. |,
So far, construction contracts
have been completed on LOG, 400
miles of primary and secondary
roads at cost of $6.55 billion and
are under way for 24,384 more
miles at a cost of $2.68 billion.

WINTER PRECIPITATION
TOO MUCH is LOST

Experiments conducted at the
Mandan, North Dakota Expert

too much of the winter precipita-
ton is lost. They have also found
that good management will retain
much more of the snow moisture
for the following seasons crops.

Quoted at the Mandan Experiment

erosion, this moisture retention

COUNTY

The executive committee of the

Planning Board, at a recent meet
ing, set Friday, November Is, as
the date of the annual meeting of
the overall county Agriculture
Planning Board. This meeting will
start at 1000 am. and will be held
at the Moose Hall.
In addition to making arrange
mentS and plans for the annual
meeting, the Planning Board ex-
ecutive committee also discussed
general resource development in
the county. Roy and Arne Degn,
who have headed up the Sidney

mittees on Observation-Disclosures
development, met with the board
and explained what their commit
tees have come up with to date.
After considerable discussion on
resource development, the Plan
ming Board executive committee
went on record as favoring deve-
lopment for Richland County. The
idea of countrywide resource
planning and development COM
mittee will be further discussed
at the annual countrywide meet
ing on November II.
Present members of the eXecu-
tive committee of the Richland

Board are Lyle Larson, chairman,

Even with stubble mulch till
age and other recommended pre-
sent Gay farming practices, much
winter time precipitation is lost.
Water is lost from fields by blow
ing snow, by evaporation, and by
runoff in the spring. 1t has been
found that on bare soil it is pos
sible to lose as much as one and
one half inches of soil moisture
by evaporation alone over the
winter months.
Certainly this loss of moisture
during the winter months points
out the need for basic research in
the field of soil and water conser-
walton. 1t is gratifying to note that
such research will be forthcoming
by the establishment Of the new
Northern Great Plains Soil and
Water Conservation Research
Laboratory here at Sidney.

HOSIERY BUYING TIPS

Some pointers to remember
when buying hosiery are dark
shades make heavy legs look slim
mer, a beige tone in hosiery looks
best with warm colorS such as
browns, reds, yellows. When
wearing blue, gray or black gar
mentS, try a grayer tone in stock
ings. Seamless hosiery eliminates
the trouble of keeping seams
straight. And a dull finish to the
hosiery gives a more pleasing eff
feet than a shiny finish.
CARE OF FRUITS
Citrus fruits, melons and pine
apples have better eating quality
when kept at room temperatures
of so and 70 degrees. A short
period Of refrigeration doesn't
noticeably harm them, but a long
stay in the refrigerator causes the
skin of citrus fruits to become pit

S D u SHOW
FOOD A BARGAIN

On the basis of the number of
hours of work needed to pay for
food, the average factory worker
food for a whole month with the
earnings from 43 hours of work. In
1852 he worked SIS hours and in
1947 he worked ga hours to buy
the same amount of food.
While consumers spend more
for food - 1894 per person in 1860
as compared with 1919 in 1947-49
= the 1860 food costs represented
only 20 percent of disposable in
come as compared to 26 percent
in 1947-49.
It's true of course that the cost
of all goods and services has been
going up, but food costs have adj
vanced less than other items. For
example, from 1947-49 to mid
1861, housing costs went up 1870
medical care 61%, and transport
alton 1870. In the same period
food prices advanced only 21%.
At the same time the farmers
share of the food dollar has de-
clined. While the retail cost of the
Family farm food market basket
increased SIP since 1947-49 the
return to the farmer actually de-
creased $50 as increased produc-
ton costs and higher marketing
costs took a larger share of the
food dollar. On the average for all
foods, the farmer or rancher re-
ceives about 80 cents of each dol
lar spent for farm food.
Although consumers are spend
ing more in total for food, they
are eating better and food pur-
chaseS are taking a smaller por-
ton of their pay check.
FIRE LOSSES HIGH
According to the National
Safety Council 800 persons died
in farm fires during the past year
with farm property losses reach
ing the staggering figure of $165
