FEDERAL-AID ROAD BUILDING REACHES HIGH MARK IX 1920 Federal-aid highways constructed last year cost more than double the average amount spent annually for 10 years in building the Panama Canal. The cost of the w*ork completed during the fiscal year of 1920, including the amount paid by the States, totaled approximately $80,000,000. a aq nol I a IUC tVUOU UUUVU Ui UlC Uiiim to IVgarded the world over as a recordbreaking achievement in respect to the dispatoh with which it was carried-out? . The cost, however,; was only $373^000,000, and a 10-year period was required to complete it, the average rate of expenditure being only $37,000,000 a year. " Comparing the magnitude of the Federal-aid program with the entire highway program of the United States, the significance of federal aid is readily seen. Federal money allotted to projects actually under construction at the end of the fiscal year, 1920, namely,- $103,925,094, was only slightly less than the total exr penditure of $106,861,053 from State fimrin tctr hiehwav construction dur ing the calendar year, 1919. In spite of unto'wad economic conditions, the amount of Federal-aid business handled, as represented in 1920 by the' number of projects, was approximately^ 25 per cent greater during the single year than all previous work done under the act since 1910.

Evans is one of the men who has a distinctive job in the United States, no other man having- a-eimilar job, or at least not exactly similar. He is the man that runs the elevator in the Washington monument, and he has been sliding up and down that white shaft for 42 years, an exchange states. If one estimates in miles the number of feet he has risen and fallen again, one could find that a similar distance would"- run three times around the world. In addition to this the number of mpn and women from every part of the world who have been carried up by him would populate New York city, and their numbers have includea every social'condition known to man, from ruling powers to paupers, and from African savages fo scientists from the world's universities. He never computed the number of times he has been asked: "How high is the monument?" But if he had he thinks it would run into the millions. SPRAY FRUIT FOR WORMS. Clemson College, March 3 4.?The first summer or "worm" spray, to control worms in fruit, is of vital im portance in obtaining a good crop of; / r.uality fruit, suggests the horticultural division in Extension Circular 25 "Orchard Spraying," a new publi- ! cation now ready for distribution. , Most of the fruit that is punctured ] while small falls from the effects of the injury or on account of the presence of the developing worms. The loss caused by worniin-ss in fruit, while very important, is perhaps less then that resulting from the ' stings" and punctures, which deform, scar, and cause the fruit to fall or i*pen prematurely. , Kind and preparation. Arsenate of lead, (or a poison spray made of a mixture of arsenate of lead, quick lime, and water mixed as follows: ' ''2 Formula No. 1 Arsenate of lead (powder, see note^ . 1 lb. Quick lime (lump) 2 lbs Water ......; 5(* gals. Formula No. 2 Arsenate of lead (powder.. 1 oz. or about 1 tablespoonful Quick lime . (lump) 3 oz. or 2 lumps the size of an egg. I Watpp ., 3 gals.
