Meehan RFIBLD, S. C. ? HOW GOOD ROADS REDUCE LIVING COST! The highway Is coming into its owi in America. Neglected, abused, undervalued subjected to cheap remedies for de cades,at last the country road is beinj accorded the treatment it deserves At a cost of hundreds of millions, th< United States is rapidly overcominj the economic handicap which high way neglect has so long entailed. This stupendous movement, tin scope of which the public even nov does not fully comprehend, is found ed on sound business considerations Good roads pay. If they did not, th< Nation would not now be construct ing and planning them on an unpre cedented scale. They pay by promot ing the social life of the people, bj encouraging outdoor recreation, anc by helping relieve the congestion thai is making maeltroms of municipali ties. But, more important still, thej pay in dollars and cents, for pool roads add a heavy toll to the buying and selling of farm pronucts?a tol far in excess qf the expense of ade quate improvement. This is a lesson cities as well as ru ral districts are learning. In the Bu reau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, which ad ministers the Federal Aid Road, i: centered supervision of all highwaj construction which Federal fund; help to carry on. At the close of lasl year, project statements had beer approved culling for Federal aid t> the amount of $110,840,773?a sum which indicates how fully the Nation is convinced that better roads mear better busi'ness. The total Federa funds available to aid States in thoii road-building programs up to July 1 1020, will be $160,750,000?and this total is exceeded by the combined expenditures of State, county, and municipalities. The business considerations back of those vast investments are not far to seek. Better roads mean cheaper and quicker hauling. It has been estimated, for example, that on a level, muddy earth road the amount which one horse can draw in an ordinary wagon varies from nothing to a maximum of 800 pounds; on a smooth, dry earth road, from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds; on a gravel road in bad condition, from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds; on a gravel road in good condition, about 3,300 pounds; on a macadam road, from 2,000 to 5,000 pounds; on a brick road, fsotn 5,000 to 8,000 pounds. If the speed of tavel is the same on all of these surfaces, the horse will haul on a good macadam road from three to five times as many miles a tlay as upon a moderately muddy earth road. Assuming that one horse i.-; capable of a certain fixed amount a d.;y, then with a given load, his effective radius of travel from a given point on a macadam road is from three to live times the radius of travel from that point on a moderately muddy earth road?ami earth roads are moderately muddy many months in the year. Several years ago information secured by the Department of Agriculture from 2,800 correspondents indicated that the average costof hauling on an unimproved country road was 22.7 cents a ton-mile. Today, with price levels much higher, the cost would be even greater. While it is difficult to estimate ac curately what the saving would be if all highways >vere improved in the districts represented by these replies, a specific instance makes the benefit plain. A farmer in a Southern State had to haul a ton of barbed wire 23 miles, over unimproved roads. He found that with a two-horse team his maximum load was 500 pounds and, that three days were required in making one round trip. To haul 1 ton, therefore, required 12 days to make one round trip. Alowing $0 a day for man and team, the cost was $72. After the roads in this region were improved, the same team could draw a ton to the load and make one round trip in two days, at a cost of $12. The ton-mile cost, under old conditions was $3.18, and this cost was reduced to 52 cents by the improved road Take the saving in the cost of haul intf wheat as another example, if the construction of narrow, single-track roads with improved surface will reduce the hauling cost 5 per cent, si ton-miie and if the average yield ot wheat in the vicinity of these roach is HO bush"ls to the acre, there re suits, lor an average hau! <>f !"> miles an economic advantage of 22."? c^nt: | an acre or $H<> a quarter section. This is A per cent, on $900. Calculation: of this sort have shown thousands ol communities the wisdom of borrow in>; money to the extent of $2,000 j square mile of wheat area, so thai roads could be improved to effect i saving on wheat hauling equal to thai cited above, and, at the same time effect .? corresponding saving in eacl of the other crops. the lowering of distribution costs it is now recognized, is one of the most important problems in rcducinf living coats. While business is st arch ing for .nnre economical metnous o: handling goods, the farmers have no been neglecting other phases of thii problem. On the prices at which he sells, all other prices must depend Good roads, enabling him to get hi products to the market at material!] reduced cost, are amoung the bi| factors in more economical diatribu Uem lifrr i 5 Field And Garden Bags Notes from the Entomologist On Insect Pests. Clsmcm College, April 19.?The . hoV wserli has spread over the great er portion of South Carolina. In sev' oral of -the coastal counties it is enterlng lie third year of infestation. In t> case of a wet season severe damage r may be expected in Beaufort. Jasper, Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell, Colle" ton and Charleston countiee. Considerable damage may aleo occur in , the other coastal sections. The fundamental procedure in boll v ' weevil control is intelligent dlversifl cation resulting in greatly improved : noil fertility, soil conditions. An : early crop of cotton is very necessary in weevil years. Minor operations - are profitable under favorable condi_ | tione, such as hand picking of fallen 1 squares and collecting of punctured j squares and bolls. These may be f ; advantageously practiced where la| bor Is cheap and available, for ext | ample, on plantations operated by ! families with a number of children " that can be employed. / The lartest development in weevil r oontrol la poisoning, but this method is yet in the experimental stages. The work ho far done has been on Mls1 oisslppi Delta plantations and the re. suits secured are most promising. While it is not expected that this method will ever eradicate the pest, yet viewing the re suite so far secured together with the history of weevil ^ poisoning, the prospects are very ' promiHtng that thin method is to de* velop into an Important factor in boll r weevil control. A great many details i rnuat yet ho worked out experiment tally. There will yet bo continued , improvements in tho dusting naa, chines and in tho manufacture of ( calcium arsenate, which appears to t he one of the moat difficult lnsactloides to manufacture. Furthermore, the various details that present themselves oa the different plantation* outside of the Mississippi Delta will > be worked out so thai a definite end 1 logical system of poiaoalng can he recommended. Under any conditions, . poisoning in Chin state in 1920 should only be undertaken "where weevil damage is expected to be severe; it ( should he undertaken on a small scale only, and wh?n once begun it should be repeated as often on necessary in a thorough m.-uinor or the results are likely to be unsatisfactory Experimental work will be conducted ia the coastal couartins of this slate i whore the weovH is expected to be ' most injurious. A. number of plant, ers will un doubt conduot poisoning operations with machines and materials probably available. No one should undertake dmating without receiving full and authonttc information about dustinr machines and the adoption of proper safeguards In purchasing and applying calcium arsenate. Full information may be obtained hv writing to the U. S. Delta laboratory. Tallukih. La.. or the Extension Se'vlce. Chemsou College, 6 C. THE FINK BOLL WORM. This pest introduced into Texas several years ago where it was held at hay by the combined wfforts of the Federal Horticulforal Board and the Texas authorities, has assumed a threatening attitude. This pest extended its areas in Texas; it then got away established Itself in the three southwestern counties in I.?ouislana; and from these points shipments of cotton were made to various and sundry points before Jts presence was discovered. Both Texas and Louisiana have increased their machinery for dealing with the situation, but 1n the meantime great precautions are necessary to prevent the spread of the pest to other sections of the cotton state*. Drastic quarantine measures have been adopted or are contemplated by the various cotton states, and these ere to be in force at least until the limits of distribution of tb? peat are again determined. Tbi? is on# of the worst insect pasts of cotton, and wherever it appears in boll weevil infested territory, the damage may he ex pet ted to increase not lees than 86 per eent. GARDEN INSECTS. The principal sprays used against garden insects are arsenate of lead or arsenate of limo falso known a.s cal-arsenate or calcium arsenate) for eating Insects, and nicotine concentrates for sucking Insects. Against potato beetles, cabbage worms ?nd other eeting insects on hardy plants Paris Oreen ran be used if properly mads, but It should not be used on tender plants. Calcium arsenate Hi cheaper than arsenate of lead and can he used on most garden plants If it Is Insisted thnt it contains aoc over .76 per cent soluble arsenic. Nicotine is purchased as nicotine sulphate and is 1u very concentrated ; form It in mad^ up nt the rate of a tonispoonful to au ordinary pall of water. or a rrfro cupful to a ftftv gallon barrel of wat.er.
