FEDERAL AID ACT

Military Importance of Road Building Is Recognized by Government. iovtrntnenial a"iieie dta'ing with highway proidenis fully t"cosnize the vital military and economic importance of the country's roads, according to a letter form Secretary of Avrric-altaral Houston to Arthur II. Fleming. chi"f of the state I councils t-ection. count il of national: defense. i The serretaiy. whoe department administers th- federal aid road act. I stated al-o that the government 1ec05ni7.es that it i nece-sary to construct. 1 "construct or maintain toads es-enti.il for military and ital economic purport s and to deter action on road not of this cla.cs: ami that it is desirable wherever po.-sihle. to us1.' local materials for road building and maintenance in order to relieve railroad t rathe. Important highways, as described in the secretary's letter, include only those utilized, or to be utilized, by the military establishment, those which carry a considerable volume of materials and supplies essentia! to war industries, and those which have a bearing on the production and distribution of food supplies connecting population and shipping centers with surrounding agricultural areas. Duties of Highway Council. Attention is called to the formation of the United States highways council. This body was suggested by the secretary to cordinate federal agencies interested in highway problems. The council is made up of a representative each from the department of agriculture, the war department, the railroad administration, the find administration and the war industries board. It Nvill form a unifici agency for dealing. Oil behalf of the federal government, with hiirhway construction, maintenance and policies It will, of course, throutrh the office of public roads and rural engineering of the department, continue the close contact already established. both formally by law and informally by practice, with the state highway commission in each state. The oflice of public roads and rural engineering and the highway council will actively consider the supply, for' highway purposes, of road oils, asphalts and other bituminous road materials controlled by the fuel administration and the matter of priority production t'or hiuhway materials controlled by the war industries board. They will also, in contact with the railroad I administration, aid in securing, so far as practicable, facilities for the transportation of road materials and supplies. Furthermore, the oftice of public roads and rural engineerj jnf- wjpi not as the medium for fui jdshing information and assistance state highway authorities in in e f t -which ing the variou difficulties they encounter. Work Planned iWfore War. When the United States entered the war the work of planning state highway systems, so that, as far 'as necessary and feasible, they would connect with the systems of other states, was well under way. This resulted from efforts to administer the federal aid road act. so that the toads of vital importance for economic. militavN and other, purposes, should first be deaU with. The federal aid road act involvinc: an aggregate fire-Near ependPure. directly and from state and local fund-, of . 1 Gi'.t'OO.f'OO in addition to at least "Oo.OOO.üOO spent independently each Near by the states pn.M.o-.-, l"- '"-.l tain the roads and that before any! moue .,,, .... e.M.n.oeo .ot i must be velei tc d and .approved and i" expenoe.i tue roans I plans, specifications and contract submitted. It also provides that th federal government must inspect j the construction of the roads. War Hoad Polity Adopted. Soon after the United States entered the war. the department of agriculture re-tue-ted th" 'täte highway commissions to join it in directing cn pendit'U e s only on roads of prime importance for pro-

American Farmers Must Grow Seeds 1 ' Formerly Imported War conditions have nude it ncc rsary for tho United States to pro f duce at home ?eed Ftipplies that for- ( nutly "ere imported from Ktirope. "Temporary sed shortages hr.ve developed tinder new economic conditions, and they may continue." pays th" United States department of acrriculttire in 'The Seed Supply of the Nation." a new publication recently issued as Yearbook S-eparate 757. "but farmers and yecdsmcn are resourceful and they may be expected to find ways and niean to meet not only the need? of this country, but also those of other countries which may be dependent upon us." Although. n a matter of necessity, seed production hu increased in this country since the war, the experts of tiie department state that the po--i! i lities of commercial seed growing in the United States have only been slightly developed The publication mentioned may be obtained by seedsmen and those especially interested. It discusses at length the ar:ous American farm crop. from a viewpoint of seed supply. American farmers plant upwards of 7.0"0,000 tons of seed per Near, most of this being the great staples, wheat, corn, cotton, ete., and practically all of these seed supplies being produced at home. Nevertheless we were accustomed before the war to import largo iuantities of seeds from Uurope. For some vegetables, sugar beets, and other crops we depended almost entirely noon the European seed supply. Feed importations from Kurope were curtailed or entitelv cut off after the war. FEDERAL STANDARD FOR WHEAT RESULT IN 'HIGH GRADES IN NORTHWEST Federal standards for wheat have resulted in hUh grades for the northwest wheat crop of 1117, according to tiguies compiled by the United States, department' of agri- ; culture. The report shovs that ÖS.'. per rent of the entire hard spring wheat crop marketed up to March I, lals, rectived better grades than No. 1 northern spring. This ,.$.: per cent, or 4 1.4.24 cars, represents premium grade wheat oxer the. contract grade, while under former standards only Is per ec-nt during the best 'year of the la.st 10-j ear period received grades higher than the former contract grade, and the average for 10 years was onlv ij.:; per cent. The federal. No. J northern spring grade, it is pointed out, corresponds in quality to the former No. 1 northern of the Minnesota, standards, and the trade adopted the federal No. 2 grade as the basis or contract grade, as (against the former Minnesota No. 1. (JraiJes at Country Ulexators. That country elevators are not under-grading the farmers' wheat is indicated by published figures showing tlhe per cent of the crop tailing into each grade at country elevators and the per cert of the crop by grades as received at terminal elevators. The country elevators covered by the figures include elevators in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana. In Minnesota 7. 4 . S per cent of the vheut received at country elevators was graded No. 1, while the figures for North Dakota show 7S.4 per cent, and the average for all four states was 6 4.7 per cent. C hange In New (iiade-. The amended standards for wheat, which becomes effective July .10. are even more liberal than the present standards. The weight per bushel requirement has been i reduced, a larger per cent of moisture is allowed, and largei amount of damaged grains and foreign material are permitted.
