FOUNDATION OF FARM LIFE
Small Amount Money Expended Be
cause of Desire to Conserve Labor,
Money and Transportation.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Although $14,550,000 was available
for expenditure on the post roads from
the federal aid road act, only $425,
445 was paid from federal funds in the
highway construction season of 1918
on all projects. The reason for this,
according to the annual report of the
secretary of agriculture, was the
steps taken to conserve money, labor,
transportation and materials in high
way work during the war, and at the
ime time to facilitate really essential
highway projects.
In connection with the federal aid
road work, a letter was addressed to
each state highway department ask
ing that a program of federal aid con
struction be submitted at the earliest
possible date, in which would be In
cluded only those projects which the
state highway departments considered
itally necessary to the transportation
facilities of the country.
At the request of the capital Issues
committee, engineers of the depart
ment were made available for Inspect
ing and reporting upon proposed high
way and irrigation and drainage bond
issues. Inspections were made of 181
separate projects, Involving total bond
Issues of $30,912,390. An arrange
ment was made with the fuel admin
istration whereby highways of special
importance should receive enough bi
tuminous material to provide for ade
quate maintenance, and, where neces
sary, to permit construction and recon
struction. From May 13, 1918, when
the co-operation becume actively effec
tive, until the close of the fiscal year,
2,235 applications, calling for 75,000,-
000 gallons of bituminous material,
were received from states, counties and
municipalities. Of this amount ap
proval was given and permits were Is
sued for 58,000,000 gallons.
In order to co-ordinate the activities
of various government agencies, so far
as they relate to highways; better to
conserve materials, transportation,
money and labor; to eliminate delays
and uncertainties, and to provide posl-

The average rise in prices of building materia!
has amounted to about 30 per cent. The rise in
prices of farm and many manufactured products has
amounted to from 100 to 300 per cent.
Think of it! With the same quantity of wheat,
corn, oats, alfalfa,, hogs, .etc. as before the war,
you can build two houses, two barns, two chicken
sheds, two anything Your farm products will buy
twice as much honest, serviceable, workable,

as they would three years ago wouldn't it be the
part of wisdom to build or remodel NOW whatever
may be needed. A new house, a barn, a, garage, a
grain bin, a corn crib, an implement shed, a hog house
a Tum-A-Lum $ilo, a chicken house- The best in
vestment one can make is in better buildings means
more and greater profits.
Prices Will Not Drop For Years
Unless there is a general panic and you would bo
the last to want them to drop. But the chances are
building materials will rise. Reconstruction, higher,
costs resuming industries forced out by war will do
it.
