Farm Groups Urge
Surfaced Highways
To AH Rural Areas
BY FRANK WeIlER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.
Washington — — National
farm groups look with inter .‘:t on
the stand of the American Country
Life conference at the Wisconsin
college of agriculture for “a sur
faced road jjp every farmer’s gats.”
The American Farm Bureau fed
eration, which long has had a “farm
to market road” committee, says
the inadequate condition of local
roads handicaps the rural popula
tion both socially and commercial
ly.
It was found at the conference
that of 3,000,000 miles of roads in
this country only 300,000 miles, or
10 per cent, are set apart as state
and federal highways. The remain
ing 90 per cent are local roads.
While some have been given an
all-weather surface, not less than
80 per cent of the farmers still re
side on dirt roads which, even in the
best farming communities, are often
virtually impassable to motor traffic
on account of mud and snow.
State and federal governments
are expending about $750,000,000 a
year on their 10 per cent of the
roads, and the local communities
about an equal amount on the re
maining 90 per cent.
Letters were read to the confer
ence showing that many farmers
Game Bird Protection.
From'Portland Oregonian
Dr. William T. Hornaday is not
assuming the role of alarmist when
he predicts that, unless Congress
adopts remedial action our Ameri
can game birds will soon be virtually
extinct. There are 6,414,454 licensed
hunters in the United States, net to
mention those in Canada, nor the
thousands of recruits who have en
listed since the iast tally. They sue
now allowed a maximum of ;ifteen
ducts and feur geese a clay. And
many of them ere enthusiasts.
Well?
Among sportsmen there is a gen
eral sentiment, though it may not ,
have to keep their automobiles and
trucks stationed at the side of hard
roads and transport their families
and produce to them in horse
crawn conveyances.
Transportation, says the farm bu
reau, is one of the most vital factors
contributing to success or failure of
farm operations, and that before
state highways will have proved as
beneficial as they were designed to
be, there must be adequate means
of access to them.
It favors construction of surfaced
roads whose wearing qualities w.ll
be adequate and whose cost of con
struction and maintenance will be
no greater than demands of traffic
warrant.
Iowa Farm Notes

Organization of a farm business
association composed of farmers in
Calhoun, Greene, Boone and Web
ster counties, is going forward, some
60 farmers already having joined.
Tlie association will be patterned
after the Four-County Farm Eusi
ncss association of Hardin, Grundy,
Franklin and Butler counties.
Thanksgiving turkeys are to cost

the gobblers come from Texas, Io

Detailed studies of livestock mar

represent majority opinion, for tur
ther reduction of the open season
and bag limit of wild ducks and
geese. It is evident to these citizens
that the sport the*’ love, with the
constantly increasing demands
made upon it, the ever widening
area of cultivated territory, must
suffer with increasing shrewdness
unless something is done very pres
ently. The Blackfeet watched in '
vain to northward for the return of |
the buffalo. The eastern states be- j
lieved that the passenger pigeons i
would come again. We have Jittle I
warrant in experience for assuming 1
that all will be well witn our water

The obligation qf any heritage of I
west Iowa counties are to be sur

representative of the Federal Farm
board. Lister will visit the following
counties: Pottawattamie, Harrison,
Shelby, Audubon, Cass, Mills, Mont
gomery and Adams.
Benton County Shipping asso
ciations marketed 10 carloads of
hogs co-operatively during Septem
ber, records of the association
showed. Fifty-seven farmers con
signed hogs to the shipments, which
totaled 235.050 pounds.

creased income from corn.

Blast Reduce.- Perfected
For Airplane Catapults
Washington- -The navy de
partment has developed a blast re
ducer on chip's airplane catapults
which eliminates danger and cuts
down the terrific detonation.
The mechanism is b.-ing installed
on the Salt Lake City, new 10.000
ton cruiser being overhauled at the
New York navy yard. Its principal
unit is a cylindrical chamber, per
forated with many email holes, in
which the blast cf the powder gun

It is much like an automobile mulb

New Grandpa Exposed.
From Sheboygan Press.
All the rest of the family has
come up for its share of criticism
for speed and extravagance. Some
how grandpa was overlooked. Bui
a minister has found him out.
“Grandfather is no longer a long
bearded, collarless old man sitting
on the back porch reading h s
Bible,’’ says the minister. "No! If
he is up-to-date he must wear nice
ly creased, tailored English tweeds
silken hosiery, a close cropped Van
Dyke beard. Ke must smoke cig
arets and like jazz. It’s not funny;
it's tragic."
It's not tragic; it’s expensive
Think how a grandfather like that
adds to the high co^t of living.
Probably he was at the bottom of
it all the time. Think what hu

there’s the old con cob pipe and
the package of plug cut, no use tc

away—wasted, that’s all. Doubt
less his silk stocks account for the
slump in wool. And if being well
groomed affects his eyesight so ha
