HARD SURFACE ROADS THROUGHOUT STATE

., JONES

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

"This state has 65,000 miles ,'ot roads, and less than 10 per cent of that mileage, is hard surfaced." said W. O. Jones, county superintendent o hirhways, to the members of the Eastern Indiana Transfer Men's associa

tion, Friday evening. '.It would be im

practical to have a chain of hard sur

faced roads all' over the state. of Indian For one thing, it would mean a tax buraen'on, the people and the

motorists of the state merely to main tain such a set of highways.

"Plans are under way to devise legislation that will provide the best of

ug&ways without making them a bur

den on the people. There is no definite conclusion as to the right form of

taxation to support such a system.

Several forms are under discussion.

Must Maintain Roads.

A large percentage of the produce of Indiana farms is handled by trucks.

It is necessary that we provide for

this business, anrl it Rppms Ttmre nlaiia

ible to build what roads can be built

and maintain the ones already con

structed than to- branch out with new

cyst ems. -

"We have always tried to keep the Wayne county roads in good shape.

But there are times when the frost will come and soften the roads a trifle. That means some bad spots will ap

pear. But the man who says that it is no harder to maintain roads now

than it was a few years ago, is wrong,

"In Wayne county alone are 9,000

automobiles and motor trucks. Th

does not take into consideration the trucks from Cincinnati and Chicago, the automobiles from every state in the union, which pass through this county daily. - v. .:.:, ,: , Traffic Increasing. -'"" "This means a lot of wear on the roads. There Is a wonderful amount of traffic in this locality, when you consider all the sources from which

it flows. Road maintenance is constantly getting harder but we intend to give better service all the time." A short history of the organization was given hy Ora Monger, one of the charter members, at the request of Mr. E. L. Ford, president. Mr. Ford reviewed briefly- the object of the organization and some of the work it is accomplishing. "I want it distinctly understood? said Mr. Monger in the course of his talk " that the truck men are willing to pay taxes." They want those taxes lo go for the upkeep of the roads. With better roads "we can do oar work at less expesse.' Better roads mean less wear on machine and tires. t . . Rep. James ;M. Knapp of Hagerstown; had been scheduled to speak, but he failed to arrive. Urges View to Future. Suggestions that in future bridge ronstmction, the possible increase in traffic be taken into consideration, was a feature in a short talk made by Dr. l?aac Harold of Indianapolis, good reads enthusiast. "There was a time when we almost dreaded to see you fellows go on the road, but that time is past," said Dr. Harold. ' Members of the organization discussed the proposal to put a tax on gasoline and raise money for good roads by this means rather than by automobile license fees as has been the case in the past.

UNCLE SAM PUTS O..K. ON GOLD COIN XMAS GIFTS WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. The old

custom of using gold coins for Christmas gifts, so strongly discouraged during the war, Is no longer looked on

with disfavor by the treasury. Acting

Governor Piatt of the Federal reserve board informed the reserve banks today that the treasury has withdrawn its objections to the release of gold for such purposes, and said the reserve board invited a revival of the practice.

GUNNELS RESIGNS The big and Important men in the

American farm bureau are gradually branching out for themselves; not all of them of course, but a number or

those In the thick of the fight in the early davs are already scattered. The latest official to resign 13 Treasurer Charles E. Gunnels, whose resignation

takes effect immediately after the an. nual meeting of the national body at Chicago, this month. He also is resigning as treasurer of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., and as director of the organization department of the na

tional body.

Mr. Gunnels Is joining the stair ci

the American Institute of Agriculture,

aa. director of the extension depart-

menL George Livingston, formerly

chief of the United States bureau cr

markets, is the organizer of the lnstt

rate, which is planned to train men

bv corresDondence courses in agricui

tural marketing. Mr. Gunnels became

assistant secretary of the American farm bureau early In 1920. He was later elected treasurer and at the At

lanta meeting in 1921 was chosen as

director of organization work. Beiore coming to the farm bureau he was county agent leader and director of extension service in Nebraska, and later connected with the States Relations Service at Washington. The Hoosier Farmer for December was mailed early enough to reach us on the morning of the first, and were in liberal suodIv at the opening of

the state farm bureau convention at Tnrtinnsr.nlis on Friday morning. The

makeup of the official organ shows imnrovement and the pages of the

current number are more than usually interesting. Two pages are devoted to 6ongs for township and community meetings. Perry H. Crane, state secretary, has been acting as editor for past two or three months. Farmers Meet on Sunday -The farmers of Haddon township,

Sullivan county, devoted Sunday aftemfon. November 19. to a farm bu

reau revival meeting in a theatre at

Carlisle. More than 400 members of farm families were present to listen or- take Dart in a discussion of the

importance of co-operation in the de

velopment of a larger community life. The meeting was the beginning of a

drive for members in Sullivan county

and 77 signatures to the 1923 member

ship roll resulted. The present total membership in the township is given

at 67 for the year 1922. A Busy County Agent. The editor of the Shelbyville Repub

lican devoted a whole lot of space to a

review of farm activities and the work of the county agent, in his paper on Thursday. County Agent East submitted his annual report and on this the editor makes free comment, in

which he says: "During the past year

Mr, East made a total of 1,001 visit3 to

Shelby county farmers, on their farms,

and also held 2,277 office consulta

tions, which Is an average of six a day. He spent 212 days in the field and was in office 73 days, the report shows."

"Ten farmers institutes were held in

Shelby county in the last year, with a total atendance of 2,068. There were 225 other agricultural meetings held, at which the attendance was 39,868. The total of all meetings held in the county during the year was 235, with

a total attendance 01 i,bs&. ui mis

number 29,049 attended the community picture shows which were held in all parts of the county during the summer months. "The attendance at meetings which were addressed by the county agent during the year was 12,364." ( A Community Sale. The good people of Spiceland held another of their old-fashioned community sales on Friday. They discovered

that this particular Friday was a lucky day, both as to the character and size of the offering, the kind of a day selected, and because of the crowd which turned out to buy. The sales

committee announced that they would

sell horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, some nice Leghorn chickens, beef in quarters, farm implements, household gear, etc. Everything is Bold for cash

and without reserve at these sales, which have become quite popular in the Spiceland section. Some of the

farmers up that way always dig up

some live stock to go under the hammer on sale days. Young Duroc Breeder.

Roland Mathews, of route one, New

castle, probably ranks as the youngest

Duroc breeder in Indiana. Because of

hia vouth And the wav he hau tVn

hold, the editor of the- Duroc Swine !

Breeders' Journal writes as follows: 7 "A year and one-half ago he completed his high school course and set himself to the tasks of the farm. Desirous of raising the best purebred hogs, he selected the Durocs. He recently purchased 10 good spring gilts. Then he went to Charles Trowbridge's recent sale. He looked his lot over and found a March, '22 Hoosier Giant

boar. No. 21, that suited him and waited for him in the ring. It so happened that this young boar was the first offered. No line on? prices had been established, so the way had to be blazed. Young Mathews set the pace and went into three figures for his

first herd boar. A 19-year-old boy with this grit and determination to start right will later be heard from."

- ' Largest Since 1915. ' I Canada harvested the largest wheat crop this year of any grown since 1915, J

and this is true not only as to the

number of bushels but also as to the number of bushels per acre. The estimate just received from the govern

ment. at Ottawa places the total wheat at 391,425,000 bushels, which is an av

erage yield of 17 bushels from 22,422,693 acres. The crop this year is

2,000,000 under that of 1915, the record crop year in 'the Dominion. In that year the country harvested 26 bushels

per acre on a much smaller acreage. TBe crop In 1921 ran but 13 bushels per

acre and fell under 301,000,000 ousheis, thus showing a gain 'of About ninety millions in 1922. The yields, of Canadian oats and hay this season greatly

surpassed these of 1921. The average

oats yield this year was 37.30 bushels.

Farmers last year entered over 134,000 cows in cow-testing associations to determine their standing as butter-

fat producers' through demonstrations

by agricultural extension workers. Dairy Rations in w inter With the close of the pasturage sea

son dairymen must make plans for

their winter dairy rations. An author

ity on dairy feeding rays "there is no better foundation for a ration suitable

for the best winter milk production

than an abundance of silage and one of the leguminous hays, such as al falfa, clover or soy beans. If these feeds are not available, and only mixed clover or timothy and corn fodder are available, it will be necessary-to increase the concentrate in the grain mixture. . : "One of the most popular grain mixtures throughout the corn belt con

sists of corn, bran or oats, and cot

tonseed meal or oil meal In various proportion depending on the rough

ages available, corn Turnisnes me

cheapest carbohydrates or energy 01 any common feed. Bmn and oats are valuable for their protein content and also particularly for their bulk and palatability. The coitonseed meal is the cheapest protein concentrate. Linseed oil meal can well take its place but it is generally somewhat higher in price. It does, however, have a very

beneficial laxative effect which Is not secured in the cottonseed meal." Wonderful Pear Tree. The Iowa agricultural college is boasting of a giant pear tree which stands on the Iowa-Missouri state line at Blanchard. which is officially credited with a 1922 crop of 40 bushels of Seckel pears, not measuring wind

falls. The Missouri authorities won

dered it it were Iowa or Missouri soil that produced that "banner fruit crop, so a Missouri horticulturist wrote to Will Sanger, of the State Line Herald, at Blanchard, for confirmation of this enormous yield. In replyMr. Sanger wrote: ,, The statement concerning the yield made this year by Frank Hooker's pear tree is true, 'as I verily believe.

The tree is of the Seckel varity andj its yield was witnessed and confirmed by, a great many persons. Mr. Hook-, er's lot runs back to the Missouri lino and this tree stands at the rear of the 1 lot. Undoubtedly its roots reach rather deeply into the soil of Missouri." .
