IMPROVEMENT OF STATE HIGHWAYS IS NOW PLANNED Maintenance Department of

State Plans Expeditures of

,000,000 on Roads. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July 31. The

State Highway Commission within the

next few weeks will complete In detail Its plan for a comprehensive or

ganization that will assume complete control of the maintenance and resurfacing of the state trunk system of approximately 3,500 miles of highway to be designated before April 1, 1912. As It will be about eight years before the commission will be able to

complete the construction of hard sur

face roads over the entire system, Hoosler good road boost; rs will have to look to the maintenance department for more Immediate results. L. H. Wright, director of the commission estimates that at least $2,000,000 will be expended for maintenance in 1920. The program laid out for the maintenance department provides that the entire mileage of the state system will be brought up to first class condition during the spring and summer of next year. District Center Planned The creation of the maintenance department, which will entail the employment of several hundred men, has been drafted In a general way by Mr. Wright and J. M. Kimmel, superintendent of maintenance. These plana when fully formulated will be presented to the commission. According to the rough drafts of tho plans, the state will be divided into five districts. Each district will be headed by a district engineer who will oversee the construction and maintenance In the counties in his jurisdiction. As now planned, there will be from seventeen to twenty counties In a district. District engineering offices will be located in cities preferably in the geographical center of the district. The selection of these destrict centers has not been determined, but it is probable that Indianapolis will bo the headquarters of the central district. The other districts will be composed of groups of counties in the southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest parts of the state.

Psj Carelessness Results I 1 in in Great Lou fal VJ of Wheaf LJ

By P. Q. HOLDEN. FAILURE to keep threshing machines la good condition and carelessness In handling and threshing cause an annual loss of about 34 per cent of the entire wheat crop. This is shown by experiments conducted by the threshing division of the U. S. Food Administration In 82 states last year. On the basis of the average wheat yield during the past 10 years, this is an annual loss of about 26,000,000 bushels, worth, at the present price of wheat. $50,000,000. In an effort to prevent unnecessary waste, threshing committees were appointed In over 1,000 leading wheat-producing counties. Many Co-operated. Priority in fuel for threshers engines was secured. The Department of Labor co-operated la securing expert operators. Express companies made every effort to secure prompt delivery of repair parts and supplies. Manufacturers of threshing machinery furnished, without charge, the services of repair and machinery adjustment experts. As a result over 20,000 bushels of wheat were saved in IT states. The report of the Threshing Division presents facts of great economical interest to every wheat grower, as it explains the steps taken to detect loss and the methods employed to prevent it. Raking and threshing of shock rows elded an average of three-fourths of a bushel per acre. The use of tight-bottomed wagons for hauling bundles saved from two to three bushels a day for each team. Majority of Machines Showed Waste. Three-fourths of the machines tested showed a wastage of nearly 1 per cent because they were not properly adjusted or In proper repair. The remaining one-fourth showed a loss of fully 2i per cent. With proper adjustment and regulation the machines showed an average waste of only one-fourth of 1 per cent. Farmers can easily test their own machines In the manner employed by the committee. In making the test the straw blownr was directed against a blanket, sheet or canvas during the time the weighing device tripped five times, Indicating two and one-half bushels. The straw on the canvas was then winnowed. If over one qjnt of wheat was recovered, bad work was indicated. One and one-half pints means a loss of 1 per cent. We should not waste our wheat after growing it. The report of the committee points out the sources of greatest loss. If we go on In the same old way neglect to rake the shock rows, haul out bundles In any old kind of wagon, attempt to thresh with a machine that needs adjusting, needs repairs, is in bad shape, we will continue to suffer a heavy loss of grain.
