FEDERAL OFFICIAL URGES CURTAILMENT OF ROAD BUILDING

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., March 13. John A. Rlggs, assistant secretary of agriculture of the United States, In a conference Friday with the Indiana State Highway Commission and contractors holding contracts for the construction of portions of the state highway system, urged the curtailment of the construction program of the commission In order to conserve labor and materials. Mr. Rlggs said he referred particularly to the construction of new roads. , Fedeal officials, according to Mr. niggs, are urging the repair of existing improved roads in the place of the construction of new hard surfaced highways, both on account of the present high prices of materials and the urgent need of both materials and labor In other industries. He also pointed out that existing shortage of freight cars makes the reduction of construction programs imperative. He said that official government statistics indicate that while business has in

creased more than 45 per cent during the past few years, that the number of carB has increased but 2 per cent. Reasons for Reduction. The members of the state commission were told that labor shortages In connection with farm work and other industries of an essential nature make the reduction of road work advisable in the opinion of many federal officials. It was 6tated that estimates place the number of men needed to carry out contracts already let by the commission at 2,000. Another phase of the conservation program of the government officials of vital interest to Indiana is the proposed Eaving of cement for the construction of houses in cities. It was pointed out that housing problems In cities are acute and that many of the materials needed for roM work enter into the construction of houses and buildings.

chase of tools, according to United States Department of Agriculture specialists. Some gardeners have an idea may often be used to advantage, but they are not absolutely necessary. But the tools actually required in the cultivation of a thrift garden are few and simple. A spade or spading fork, a steel rake and a hoe, together with a piece of string and two small stakes, are the chief essentials. There are a number of other tools, such as a trowel, eprlnkling can, wheel hoe, seed drill and wheelbarrow, that that they must have a large assort

ment of hoes and rakeB, wheel hoes, seed drills, spraying outfits and special equipment before they can begin to garden. It is important, however, that the few essential tools be properly cared for and used frequently. Every time they are used they should be cleaned and stored in a dry place. Also, they should be kept sharp so that the work may be done easily and thoroughly. A good Job of hoeing cannot be done with a dull or rusty hoe. If the garden is located at a distance from the house, a small, low

flat toolbox, long enough to accommodate the hoe and rake, should be provided. The top of this box may be covered with a piece of roofing paper to make It waterproof, and a

Tools Needed for Thrift Garden Few and Simple Thrift gardens should be thrift gar dens from start to finish, and the vegetables grown in them should not cost as much as it would cost to buy them on the market. Every item of expense should be kept down. This is especially true in the pur-

small lock should be provided for safety. The loss of one good tool will more than offset the cost of a toolbox of this character.
