r THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; 'PORTLAND, SATURDAY." MARCH 20, ; 1S20. sG66d' Roads Are aBig, Factor in .Development of ' Agricultural Sections BE EXERCISED IN El LAYING ROAD Br It. C. Stewart CTrte employment of an engineer "whd la a road expert in the con struction of good market roads is cheaper In the long run and the roads glvm muct better aatisfaotlon than when the construction Is a-uper- ylsed by someone who has had little or no training In this work. Good roads are needed for many rea- sons, the moot important being easy and i ouiek transportation of market products for. the farmer. Good roads are the a making of a country. Without them cost of transportation la so great that by the time the products have been put on the market it .ha taken some of the profit away from the farmer. GOOD BO ADS SEEDED he forest service tn takinK of the national forests and for military pur poses. Tourist travel, while at first glance seeming only to benefit the hotel people, In reality benefits the entire community through which this travel is induced to go by means of rood roads. - It makes a better market for all prod ucts used In the hotel, it interests Eastern people in the community which will cause greater development in the future. Ttfe coat of wear and tear upon the vehicles and the keeping up of a poor road would in many cases build a paved highway. CHEAP BO ADS COSTLY The old time road of olay, loose gravel or crashed rock would stand up under a good deal of horse drawn vehicle travel, but with the traction strain of the drive wheels of automobiles and trucks constantly tearing out this loose gravel or slushing the mud from the ruts of the dirt road these types soon "Bo to pieces. A great many large army trucks ha've been turned over to the various counties for road construction. They are doing wonderful work when used during the dry season, but some of the counties are using them at all seasons of the year. and In consenuenca for everv load of Kravsi tney pui on me roaa mey neip tear up several miles. ' There la another and better means of putting- gravel upon the roads during the wet season, 1. e., the track laying tractor drawing a string of wide tired trailers. This Instead of tearing up the roads crushes down the freshly placed gravel, making- the road better, instead of worse. , BICT PROGRAM AHEAD The writer has two cAntles in mind. one is using the trucks all winter because fine opera ( np expenses are slightly smaller than with the tractor and trail era. This county has poor roads. The other county la using the tractor with trailers and as a result has .very fine road. This In a period of long needed joad development and during the coming sea son many a mile of good roads will be built. It is up to the people to see that the best methods are used to get their roada built as cheaply as possible. l9,A0e JJJLE8 OF ROADS Thirty thousand miles of road, esti mated to cost not less than $160,000,000. will be needed for the proper protection and development of the national forests and the nearby communities during the next 10 years, according: to comprehensive road plans which- have been prepared. The secretary of agriculture has already approved the construction of 6152' miles, ; estimated to cost 128,463,000, contingent upon federal and cooperative funds be coming available. Government expend! tiires of $15,740,000 have been authorised for this purpose. rEIMART BOAT) SYSTEM The roads comprised in the compre hensive road plans form the basis of the intimate national forest road system. They sre used as main highways, either In connection with through routes or to serve Important local needs. The Son structlon of feeder roads la being largely postponed 'until the primary road system Of the national forests Is completed. It is expected that the present estimate cost will be lartre.lv exceeded when sur veya are made of the projects now on - the list, since In many cases the only available estimates are based upon in complete data. - The agricultural colleges give special : training in road engineering. They are also glad to assist in every way possible to get proper road construction. - A farm on a paved road four miles 1 ..X Good Feed Cheap (Hawaiian Molasses) Your Agricultural Cortege or the United States Department of Agri culture will advise you that Hawaiian Cane Molasses is equal tn feeding value, pound for pound, with corn or barley.

ON BUSINESS BASIS production, Ciey win be placed la x cold storage,' Just at present, with a market of 14 cents In Eugene, cold storage houses are buying. To bring- poultry men together, meet ings will be held this month at Cottage Grove and Creswell and from time to time, producers will be shown the ad vantage of organisation, Mr. Whitney says; from town Is relatively closer to the mar ket than a farm less than a mile from town upon a poor road. . At Dt M. S.Vctcirkw. NO. L Questlop Recently one of our cows had a aore on end of teat which atopped the flow, of milk untU opened up with a mllMng tube. This quarter then be came hot and. Inflamed and now is en tirely dried up. What caused this and how can we prevent It in future? Answer The aore probably was caused by an injury to end of teat such as another cow stepping on end. The use of a milking tube is always very dangerous. Extreme surgical pre cautions must be taken if the teat is not to be infected. This means, boll the tube for at least 10 minutes before us ing. Then wash off udder and teat very thoroughly with some antiseptic solu tion such as 6 per cent carbolic or a solution of sheepdip and water. When you once get the udder clean see that it Is kept so before you insert the milk ing tube. All this Is easier said than done, but Is necessary if you do not want to endanger the quarter and some times the cow's life as well. NO. II Question Will you explain why firing and blistering cures a horse lame with a spavin? Answer It hastens the union of the joint which la causing- the pain. The minute the union takes place pain ceases and the horse goes sound. To a certain extent the firing and blistering substi tutes an acute condition for a chronic one, and nature In curing the acute con dition, also takes care of the chronic trouble. Question When ia the beat time to cas trate a colt? Answer In spring-, after he has been running on grass for two weeks or more. He is cleaner and there Is less dirt or infection in pasture than in barn. Blooded Stock Sale Is Poorly Attended The Shorthorn and Hereford sales held at, the pavllllon In North Tortland were poorly attended and as a conse quence some very fine animals sold for murth less than they were worth. Beef breeders trussed a good opportunity of adding some fine blood to their herds. It. F. Kelley of Prairie City was the heaviest buyer, getting nine Ilerefords. Other Hereford buyers were M. P.

The twelfth an nual exhibit of the Union Livestock Show association, will be held at Union on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, June 2, and 4 of this year. The livestock show ia an annual evsnt and indications are that this year'a exhibit will be one of the largest and beat ever held in Union county or in Eastern Oregon, Getting Rid of Rodents There ara scores of different kinds of rodent to be found In the United States, causing loss- in food and feed crops estimated at 1300,000,000. For the com munity interested in making the most out of Its agriculture this fact empha sizes the Importance of persistent con certed campaigning against these crea ture. v 1 r Eugene, March 13. Lane county poul- trymen are to be organized and pool their Interests just as the fruit men of the county pool their Interests, accord ing to Ira P. Whitney, county agricul turist, who attended a meeting of Lane county poultry men at Junction City. The Oregon Poultry Producers' asso ciation, which has been organised only eight months, with U. L. Upson of Port land as president, is "now bringing to gether all poultrymen In Lane county, with the intention of putting the poultry industry of the county into a business organization that will place it on a pay ing bawls. Whitney saye the poultry business In Lane 'county has been of the Finnegan kind, "on again, off again," and that it is the intention of the organization to eventually ship all eggs to Portland, where the central organization will be able to ship to eastern markets, instead of giving the profit to commission men. After the association has become fairly well organised. Whitney, says, he hopes td arrange for a financial body that will finance producers whereby when eggs are selling below cost of SASH AND DOORS O. B.
