Highway engineers of the United ‘States set a new mark of achieve- ment during 1928 when they added “another 50,000 miles to the surfaced highways of the country. | While the task of providing ade- ‘quate facilities for the constantly in- creasing number of motor car users remains incomplete and will be for {a long time, the records of the Unit- ed States Bureau of Public tell an ‘amazing story of progress. | Thus at the end of the year the fig- {ures show that there are now some | 630,000 miles of road in the country | which have been surfaced to a great- ler or lesser degree and another 500,- 1 000 miles of earth road which have | heen graded and drained. In other words one-sixth of the total of 3,000,- {000 miles has been given a surface ! of some sort, while one-third can now | be said to be open to service. | Our mileage of travelable roads is fone times the railroad mileage of the | country, and yet the demand for new ‘highway improvement seems as ur- | gent today as it was a decade ago. Perhaps the most remarkable ! phase of highway development has | been the rapidity of its growth with- in the past nine years. In less than 'a decade the public has voted virtu- Lally $10,000,000,000 to the construc- {tion and maintenance of roads, or enough to defray our cost of the | world war, excluding foreign loans. { This sum has been used to almost ! double the 367,000 miles which were | reported as improved at the close of 11921, as well as to provide for the | maintenance of roads already in ser- | vice. | There has never been a public | works improvement in the world’s | history which has even remotely ap- | proached this expenditure of public | funds, yet it is a striking tribute to ! the integrity of our engineers that | the task has been accomplished al- | most without a whisper of scandal | attached to even the smallest part of it. | Another notable feature of the in- provement has been the comparative: | ease with which it has been financed. Normally an operation of this magni- | tude might be expected to result in | a severe dislocation of related indus- | tries and money markets. However, | by a gradual introduction of reason- | able taxes imposed upon motor ve- | hicle users the payments from this | source have grown until today the | user pays one-third of the costs in | direct gasoline and license taxes, in ‘ addition to the usual general taxes | which he pays in common with other taxpayers. {| During this process the general | public has continued to devote 11 ‘cents of its tax dollar to highway | purposes, with the net result that the i road program has been markedly ex- ' pedited. Meanwhile the offset of low- ered transportation costs and in- creased realty valuations have acted ‘together to male the whole operation ‘one which has netted actual returns instead of added costs to the payers. ——— es Y4ain the Men's Bible class of the M. 2. church. at their home next Tues- ' | day evening.

Jane H. Cole to John H. Cole, tract HOME GARENING IS PROFITABLE PURSUIT. Although many persons find home gardening a source of pleasure, this part of the farm enterprise should be highly profitable. To make home gardening profitable the same prin- ciples of business efficiency must be applied to this work as any other part of the farm business. The amount of labor required to produce crops in the garden will be very greatly lessened, if it is plan- ned with long rows for easy and ef- ficient cultivation with either the wheel-hoe or horse cultivator. Good tools, kept in proper condi- tion throughout the years, not only help make gardening a pleasure but result in quicker and better cultiva- tion. The type of wheel-hoe best adapted to the home garden has a single wheel and attachments for op- ening shallow furrows, cultivating 2nd suffling or wood cutting. This implement can be adjusted to work between rows 10 to 12 inches apart. The home garden enables the fam- ily to have a variety of fresh vegeta- bles of high quality throughout prac- tically the entire year. Fresh veg- etables are an important part of the diet the year around. Because of their health-giving properties they have been found by modern research in dietetics ,to be essential in the growth and development of children and maintenance of health adult. tables, not otherwise available, which frequently results in the sub- stitution of vegetables for the more costly articles of the diet and very materially reduces the cost of feed- ing the family. Only varieties of vegetables of the highest quality should be selected. Certain varieties of the same crop mzy he adapted for early spring . planting, while others are to be plant- | ed later in the season. Spinach is a good example of this. For early spring planting the King of Denmark, or Long Season are best. The New Zealand spinach is planted in the spring for summer and early fall use. The Virginia Savoy or Bloomsdale varieties of spinach are planted the last of July or first of August for late fall and early winter use. Many home gardens in Pennsylva- nia find a ready sale for their sur- plus vegetables on roadside stands, to hucksters, or in the nearby mar- kets. The value of may home gar- dens in this State, as shown by num- erous farm garden demonstrations in almost every county, is about ten times that of the same area devoted to field crops. There are nine million consumers in the State and more cities of 5,000 or greater population than any other State in the Union. Nearly 65 per cent. of the total popu- lation lives in cities and towns of more than 2,500 population. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
