BIRDS “MOVING IN” Indianapolis. .Ind., April 19. —Lack >f sufficient housing accomodations in many Indiana cities now a dilemma to the race of man is not a perplexing problem this spring to the bird life >t Indiana, according to a letter re •eivcd by George X. Mannfeld, superintendent of the division of fish and game of the department of conservation from Frank G. Hasselman, superintendent of the state game exper intent station and game farm at Bluff Mills, Montgomery county. Some time ago the Conservation commission with a view of encouraging an increase of insectivorous bird life in the state because of the extraordinary val ue of birds as destroyers of insect life detrimental to fruit and cereal crops and plant life, designated all state preserves as bird and game sanctuaries. Many bird houses were constructed and erected in suitable environment. The feathered friends are now “moving in” in large numbers. Mr. Hasselman writes, and already the | bluebirds and martins are in posses- ’ -ion, of a number of the “cottages" and i "duplexes" on the game experiment I station.

DRIVES CONTINUE For Membership in Farmers’ Organizations Over State of Indiana MADISON IS FIRST — Shelby is Close Second, With Rush Third—Eigh-ty-three Organizations Indianapolis, Apr. 19 —Officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations are well pleased with the manner in which the uniform plan of conducting membership drives is working in the various counties, and a number of requests hove been received from other states asking for copies of the system which is proving so successful in the Hoosier commonwealth. Tlhe first county organization to complete a membership drive under the uniform plan was Madison county, and. according to figures sent to Lewis Taylor, general secretary, this unit has moved into first place in the race for state membership honors. Shelby county is running a close second with Rush county in third position among the eighty-three county associations affiliated with the parent organization. At the meeting of general secretaries of farmers’ associations of the 'Middle West held Iren? during the ■ as t week the operative plan as workd out by the Indiana Executives was highly praised. The high cost of organizing has been a hard problem for a number of the states to solve, and the visiting secretaries declared that ‘here were many valuable pointers to be patterned after in the new system being used in Indiana where the cost ■>er member has run unusually low ompared with other states, one of which reported that organization work was costing as high as $1.50 a member. A number of important sugges•inos were recommended by the sectarigs to be submitted to the executive committees of the various state associations. One of these approved the attitude of the American Farm Bureau Federation in declaring that he measure of compensation for labor should be for service rendered -ather than for hours employed. A recommendation was passed to the .fleet that the national organization discourage and repudiate in every legitimate manner the statement that greater production on tlhe part of the farmer will reduce the present high cost of living, but rather will end to reduce the farmer's income. Less extravagance and more work to bring about the desired results in the most satisfactory manner were urged. In order that the secretaries of all the states in the national federation may have a voice in the matter of perfecting a permanent organization of farmers’ general secretaries it was decided to hold another conference immediately following the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Assisting Mr. Taylor in the entertainment of the visiting secretaries were President John Brown, Maurice Bougies, E. E. Reynolds, J. W. Raub and IL C. Reid. Many farmers’ meetings are scheduled for various places about the state during the coming week and all of the speakers will have busy programs to follow out. YEOMEN!

UHDE MHO JOIN Secretary Meredith Recommends Membership in World’s Road Congress MEET HERE NEXT YEAR Advisory Committee to Seek Classification of the Thoroughfares That the United States should accept the invitation of foreign countries to join the Permanent international association of road congresses is the recommendation of the executive committee of the American association of State Highway Officials to the secretary of agriculture. The committee which recently concluded a two-day conference in Washington considered. at the suggestion of Secretary Meredith, the invitation to the United States which had been received through the state department from the American consul general at Paris. Secretary Meredith concurred in the action of the highway officials and told them he would recommend to the department that congress be asked to authorize acceptance. The highway officials also recommended that the International association be invited to the United States for its next meeting. Only Civilized Nation Not Member. In advising the secretary of the action of the state highway officials, Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of public roads, who is also a member of the executive committee, said that the United States is the only civilized nation not now a member oi the International association. He saw many advantages in the United States becoming a member and he believed the other nations in the association would welcom an invitation to meet in this country next year. The roads congress, he said, constituted an international tribunal for bringing together the best experience and results in highway construction and administration. Although meetings have been held each year, none has been called since the European war began. Before the war the congress had met in Brussels, Paris, and London. Secretary Meredith notified the highway officials that he would enlarge the advisory committee of state highway officials, which consults with the department on federal politics in road building. This committee, consisting of six members, will now include the entire executive committee of the American association of State Highway Officials, increasing its membership to 12. The secretary said this step would more completely represent all parts of the United States. The enlarged membership will enable the I advisory committee to work out a classification of roads for the entire country, thereby providing a basis for a more orderly national program of road building. The executive committee inspected a signal device designed to prevent grade-crossing disasters and accidents on dangerous curves. It met with the director of sales of the war department with reference to obtaining equipment, which is seriously needed in road building and which the states have been unable to secure. The officials who attended the meeting were: Paul D. Sargert, chief engineer, state highway commission. Augusta, Me.; George P. Coleman, chairman executive committee, state highway commissioner, Richmond, Va.; W. G. Thompson, state highway engineer, Trenton, N. <L; George E. Johnson, state highway engineer, Lincoln, Nebr.; W.
