ROAD MOVEMENT IS GROWING
Question of Public Highways Now In
volves Nation as Whole Values
of Farm Property Enhanced.
Many of the southern and western
states havo made remarkublc progress
within the past two or three years In
tho enactment of laws which proldo
for tho extension of their highway
systems, and for the construction nnd
caro of improved roads. Tho now con
ditions arising from tho development
of nutomobile tralllc have enlarged tho
question of public hlghuns from one
of purely local consideration to nn
economic principle invohing not only
tho entire commonwealth, hut the na
tion as a whole.
When tho tralllc consisted of wagons
drawn by oxen, or mules, or horses,
open roads to tho nearest railroad
station or boat landing were all that
was required. The fact that een such
roads were not well built, nor kept in
repair, was duo to a variety of causes,
writes Robert P. Hooper, In Farm
Home. Each particular locality had
nn explanation, purely local, to account
for tho conditions. Hut, as n rule,
theso explanations did not explain,
even to the satisfaction of those mak
ing them.
Tho fact still remained that nearly,
or qulle, 90 per cent of the farmers of

tho country were keeping themselves
poor by reason of the excessive cost of
mnrketing their products. Theso prod
ucts could bo hauled only at seasons
when everybody had to haul. This
resulted In temporarily overworked
railway service, congested markets,
nnd low prices.
The older and wealthier states saw
the point first, and began giving uid
to counties and towns In building Im
proved roads, so that produce could bo
marketed at any time in the year. Tho
result was almost electrical in its ef
fect. Thousands of farms which, bo
cause of their relative unpiolltablpiiess
under a bad road sBte:n, had been
practically abandoned, became pro
ductive again. The general vulues of
farm property were enormously en
hanced. This was accomplished by
tho building of a few town and county
roads purely for local purposes.
Then the automobile becamo a factor
in the load question, and the road
problem became widened and en
larged. With vehicles, which would
cover 100 or 200 miles a day, the con
ditions in eacli county rapidly becamo
known to the people in adjoining
counties, and a broader comprehen
sion of the whole highway question
was inevitable In a country where
intelligence predominates.
HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Cost of Hauling Farm Products Over
Common Roads Is Twenty-Five
Cents a Ton Per Mile.
After careful Inquiry It has been
found that tho avorago haul of tho
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship
ping station is 12 miles, and the aver
ago cost of hauling over the common
country roads Is 25 cents a ton per
mile, or three dollars a ton for a 12
milo haul, sas Portland Oregonlan.
An estimate places the total torrs
hauled at 3011,000,000 a year. On tho
ostlmato of three dollars a ton for 12
miles this would mako tho total cost
of getting the surplus products of tiro
farm to tho locul market or to tiro
railroad no less than VJOO.000,000 a,
figure greater than the oporatlng ex
penses of all tho rallioads of tho Unit
ed States If anything could mako un

SMOOTHED PATH OF LOVE
American Naval Captain Rose Nobly
to Occasion When Confronted With
Unusual Problem.
The "lloatlng court" Is an institu

in tho far North An Interesting ex
arnplo of tho unusual problems that
confronted Capt. A J Henderson, one
of tho Hrat judges of the court, Is told
by Mr. Wnltcr Noble Hums in tho
Wido World Magazine.
Ono day, at Point Mope, there ap
peared beforo the ooifrt neld on tho
Thetis, Captain Henderson's ship, an
old Kskirno nnd his wife. Thoy were
accompanied by their pretty daughter
and two stalwart young men, who
wero suitors for her hand. In choicest
Kskimo, that sounded uke a series of
explosions of vocal dynamite, tho nn
erablo father ponied a voluble tulo
into tho oars of the interpreter
"This man. ho say," began the in
terpicter, "these two feller wnnt tnls

Captain Henderson is no Cupid
he stands six feet two nnd weighs 'JR0
pounds but ho determined to enaay
tho role of Cupid's first assistant
"You love this girl?" he abked one
suitor.
"Yes," replied the Interpreter, 'he
love her."
"And do jou love her?" the captain
asked tho other.
"Yes, ho love her, too. '
Tho captain looked at the girl, who
was n pretty Httlo thing, something
over four feet high, with coal-black
hair plastered down oor her temples
and sloe-back, roguish eyes. het
no ono 'doubt the vital beauty of Kb
klmo maids In the flush ot jonth and
health.
"Here," said the captain to the gnl
"which ono of these men do ou
want?"
The intei prefer put tho question
Tho maiden's eyes grew brighter hoi
cheeks a deeper crimson, and .1 coy
smilo wreathed her lips. She stepped
over to ono of the young men unheal
tatlngly and touched him on tho inn
"This ono," she said, and there was
no need for the interpreter to trans

"All right." said tho captain, with a
roar of laughter, "take him '

Event In American History
November 24, 1768, marked thf
evacuation and debtructlon of Fort
Duquesne. A short timo previous tc
this tho Hrltish had initiated the worn
of tortificatlon. The French, jomlnp
down tho Allegheny river from 'heir
forts on and near Lako Krie, made a
sudden descent on the small Hritisl'
garrison, and tho latter was forced c
surrender unconditionally The French
and their Indian allies completed the
fortification and called it Fort Du
quesne. A British force commanded
by Gerreral Forbes was sent from th"
east to retake tho fortiflcntion, and
doubtlessly would hnvo succeeded
without tho loss of a man had It not
been for the Impetuous Captain Chant
Tho fort was blown up while the main
force was yet ten miles east of the
site of the future great city. Tho
heard a great explosion, snw volume"

HOW TO PLANT FRUIT TREES

The common practice of using sta

one which cannot be recommended
When a troo is planted its activity
should bo the development of a strong
nnd extensive root system If large
amounts of lertllizer are placed around
tho roots of a tree tho root growth
will naturally not be so extensive us
urrder normal corrditions because there
will bo no necessity of its searching
far for sustenance.
When such a method is followed and
the supply of food mateiiuls provided
at planting by tho addition of stable
manure is exhausted, tho root system
will not have grown sulllciently to se
cure food enough to Keop up normal
conditions in the growing tree What

MANITOBA'S AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRY
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN
THAT PROVINCE DURING THE
PAST FEW YEARS.
Tho past year has shown that tho
Province ot .Manitoba, tho Premier
Province of Western Canndn, stands
out prominently In point of wealth In
her agricultural productions. Mani
toba had nn excellent lold of wheat
In 1914, the out crop was rrot so good,
and with tho high price received, ovory
farmer was placed lu a good financial
position.
For somo years, nB Is probably tiro
caso In all new countries, Manitoba
wont largely Into tho growing of
grain, nnd while this paid woll for a
tlmo, it was found that having to pur
chaso his meat, his milk and a num
ber of other dally requisites, tho farm
did not pay as It should. Now, thcro
is another side to it. Fodder crops
are grown, cnttlo are being raised,
cheeso factories and creameries nro
established, nnd tiro result Is that tho
financial position of tiro farrrrcrs of
Manitoba Is as strong as that of thoso
In any other portion of tho continent.
Scarcely a farmer today but has real
ized that the growing of grains nlono
has a precarious Bide, and that posi
tive secuilty can orrly bo assured by
diversified f aiming, and securing the
latest modern nnd most economic
methods. Therefore timothy, clovor,
alfalfa, rye grnsB arrd fodder corn aro
universally grown. Most wondorful
success meets tho efforts of tho farm
ers In tho cultivation of theBO grasses,
nnd tho yields comparo favorably
with thoso of many older countries,
whllo In many cases they oxceed them.
It is worth whllo recording tho acre
age of theBO crops this season as com
pared with Inst, because tho figures ro
lled the remarkablo progress that is
being mndo In dairying ami In tiro
beef arrd pork industry. In 1913 bromo
grass was Boun on 24,912 acres, ryo
grass on 21,917 ncroB, timothy on
118,712 acres, clovor on G.32S acres, al
falfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on
20,223 acres In 1911 tho respective
acreago under those crops woro 25,4 1 1
acres, 27,100 acres, 1C5.990 acres. 7,212
