THE TWICB-A-WKEK DEMOCRAT

GOOD ROADS 1919 PROGRAM

Michigan Starting on Greatest Era of Highway Construction In History of Michigan is going to start on the greatest era of road building in the state’s history, declares Edward N. Hines, first vice president of the Detroit Automobile club. Mr. Hines adds that Michigan highway constructors have seen the folly of their ways in building roads too narrow and of types not permanent. They will correct this in the future. Every citizen, including the farmer, business man, laboring man and the resident of the small town, sees the need of permanent highways, the case being proven to them by wartime conditions, according to Mr. Hines. This was brought about by the inadequate freight and express service, the food situation and the general need to conserve labor wherever feasible. “Had the war continued,” Mr. Hines stated, “I had records of projects for building of concrete roads in the state that likely would have been put through by the proper authorities in Washington because of their war necessity, there being some 656,000 square yards. Other projects for concrete roads in Michigan financed by the Covert act whose issues were sold and the money not expended during the past season, and direct tax levies amounted to 1,347,909 square yards, a total for the state of clase to 2,000,000 square yards. All of this will be built in 1919 and in all probability this yardage will be doubled by the time the road construction work begins In the spring. “Wayne county’s concrete roads have, stood the test since the United States entered the world conflict The normal traffic, plus the enormous war haulage by army trucks over concrete roads seven, eight, nine and ten years old, was handled satisfactorily and the highways held up in perfect condition. Eyes of the road builders throughout the country have been focused on Wayne county’s roads and the practical demonstration of the value of permanent roads has been proven here in the vicinity of Detroit. “Wayne, leader among the counties of Michigan in mileage of improved roads, asked for no county road tax this year and will have to rely on the money received from automobile licenses. Consequently 1919 will not approximate previous years’ programs because of lack of funds to push the work to the limit. We expect to get more for a dollar 'n 1919, though, as

Neglect of Maintaining Roads Is Not Only Tying Up Transportation and Handicapping industry, but Is Costing United States Many Millions of Unnecessary Expense.

Good roads are a public necessity and there is no use trying to stop progress by complaining about the cost, or objecting to the automobile. If every auto were destroyed, good roads would be as mucito needed as with the autos. r

Lack of proper roads is costing the American people $1,000,000 for every working day. That is the conclusion of the Corn Exchange National bank of Philadelphia*

BUILDING

the labor turnover will not be as great and material prices will have a tendency not to incline towards higher levels. “Among the projects which will be carried out next year are the following: One-half mile section In the village of Wayne, from Michigan avenue on the Wayne road south, connecting with the. Huron River drive. This road will be of concrete, 20 feet wide. Belle-ville-Romulus branch of the Huron River drive and Outer Belt drive is to be finished. Delivery of stock on this job has already been started and will be kept up as long as good weather continues. Warren road, which will be concreted to the Washtenaw county line in time, is to be taken care of by another, road crew. This work will go on until the 1919 funds are exhausted. The Lahser road, from Redford north to the Oakland line, connecting with the good road in Oakland county, will also be completed. “We will pay considerable attention to widening some of the main routes and will maintain ail the previously built roads in a first-class condition.”

Completes Feeding Trial That a ration of corn and tankage for hogs is a profitable and practical scheme of feeding is the conclusion of Erhardt Wuerthrfer of Newton township, who has recently completed a feeding trial on his farm. This trial did not receive official supervision and the' results are printed as reported by Mr. Wuerthner: 19 pigs, farrowed between August 15 and 20, 1918, were used in the trial. The sows were fed corn and tankage until the pigs were weaned on October 15, when the pigs were weaned and placed on a grass lot on l corn. Tankage and water. The pigs were sold on February 18 at $16.50 per cwt., the average weight being 181 pounds. The feed record is as follows: Corn fed sows 20 hu. Corn fed pigs 190 bu. Total corn fed 210 bu. Total tankage feed (low grade) 400 bu. Cost of tankage $18.40 Selling price of bogs $557.43 Return from 210 bu. corn.. $539.03 Return per bu. corn.., $2.56 With corn at $1.20 iper bushel the profit per hog would be $15.10. While, as a cost of production record, this report is somewhat incomplete, not taking into account the total cost of feeding the brood sows, the interest and depreciation on lots, hogs and feeding equipment, the return shown* by the report are adequate to illustrate the point that hog feeding is profitable when similar rations—are used. The use of a ration of corn and tankage is being adopted by more farmers each year and it is only a question of time when this system will be a universal practice.

• Beekeepers Meet March 10 President Frank Foltz has called a meeting of all the beekeepers of the county which will be held in the courthouse at 1:30 Monday, March«lo. Mr. E. G. Baldwin of the department of entomology will be present again and take up a discussion of sipring and summer management of the apairy. Professor Baldwin made many friends among the beekeepers when he met with them here last fall and a promise can be made that no one will be disappointed in him. , Mr. Foltz especially desires that the women and children of tbe county also attend this meeting as beekeeping fits in as a side line which may be handled very nicely by them.

Livestock Men Submit Program The county livestock committee has submitted the following program

SATURDAY, MARCH 8,

of work which it expects to develop in the county this season as a factor in increasing livestock profits. 1. Self feeder demonstrations— A series of demonstrations of the use of the self feeder as a means of reducing the cost of pork production. Joseph Kolhoff has agreed to secure demonstrators in Carpenter, Milroy, Marion and Newton townships; Alfred Duggleby in Kankakee, Walker, Gillam townships; George Hellman in Wheatfield and Keener. Self feeder plans will be furnished through the county agent’s office. The committee will arrange with the local dealers for a carload of tankage, the farmers to get the material off the car and to pay the dealer for this trouble. 2. Demonstrations in hogging ff corn and soybeans, to determine the value of hogging off these crops over hand feeding. • 3. Pure-bred sales. The committee will ask the president of the County Livestock Breeders’ association to hold a. special meeting of the organization on April 26 to consider the advisability of holding a pure-bred livestock sale this fall. 4. A livestock survey. The committee will undertake to find out how many farmers are using purebred sires of all classes of stock, and a list of those not using purebred sires. Men not using bred sires will be urged to use them and assistance will be given in locating good sires. 5. A livestock tour—A recommendation that the livestock association conduct a livestock tour during the summer. 6. Livestock show—A livestock show will be held next fall. 7. Community building The committee recommended that steps be taken to construct a community building suitable for public gatherings, shows, sales and meetings of all kinds. The livestock program isone of several adopted at the general meeting last Tuesday. Other programs will be published as space permits.
