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.

This Man All 17ps and' Downs.
J. B. 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. I
Make a thin paste of the arsenate
of lead, and slake the lime to a whitewash
(warm water giving beet results
in slaking). When cool pour
together and dilute to fifty gallons.
This mixture should be well stirred

Time of spraying, for peach and
plum. Apply when about threefourths
of th? shucks (dried bloom
ivt4?) have slipped, which in the
case of the peach is about 12 to 15
days after the tree is in full bloom.
Plums are sprayed the same as peaches,
the first spray being given immediately
after the petals have, fallen.

Time of spraying for apple and
pears. Apply after the petals have
fallen and before the bloom cup is

AN ERROR.
The Dispatch-News fegrets very
much that a notice of the meeting of
the Lexington County Farmers Union
was omitted by mistake from our last
issue. The article was handed to us
by the efficient secretary, Mr. J Ed
Kaiser, and was put in type, but overlooked
in making up the paper. We
regret the omission and make this
statement in justice to our good
friend, Mr. Kaiser.
Out of the Mouths of Babies.
"What's the meaning;of the word
'natural': -?ked the teacher of a
small pupil.
"It's the way we act before we
earn ? ri.ners," was the answer.
