MANY GOOD-ROAD PROJECTS
Oklahoma Leads Country In 8lze of
Slngla Scheme Handled During
the Month of July.
(Prepared by the United 8tatei Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Among the special featurea of the
recent federal aid road record aa kept
by the United States department of
agriculture are three road projects to
cost over 11,000,000, one of them over
(2,000,000. Pennsylvania bad first
place In the number of statements ap-
proved during July, the amount of
federal aid allowances, and the estl-
mated cost of roads to be construct-
ed, while Nebraska turned In the
greatest mileage. Seventeen projects
In Pennsylvania approved will cost
S4.607.028.41 for which tho federal aid
Is (1,068,097.40. Ohio with 12 projects
came next to Pennsylvania In the
number approved and In the estimat-
ed cost of the roads to be Improved,
and third in the amount of federal
aid.
Oklahoma's two projects occupy
third place for the month in the esti-
mated cost of the roads and second

A TEXAS FAMILY’S

the lower end of Washington street
to West street has been sold for, the

for some time the playground of chil-

Is turned over to the builders some
competent student should visit the

BOSCHEE’S SYRUP.
A cold Is probably the most com-
mon of all disorders nnd when neglect-
ed Is apt to be most dangerous. Sta-
tistics show that more than three
times as many people died from In-
fluenza last year, as were killed In
the greatest war the world has ever
known. For the last fifty-three years
Boschees Syrup has been used for
coughs, bronchitis, colds, throat Ir-
ritation and especially lung troubles.
It gives the patient a good night's
rest, free from coughing, with easy
expectoration In the morning. Made
In America and used In the homes of
thousands of families all over the
civilized world. Sold everywhere.—Adv.

THE farmers of this coun-
try want to profit by the
experience of recent yenrs,
when they were several
times caught without home-
grown seed, resulting In
poor crops, they will at
once turn their attention to the selec-
tion of plenty of good seed for their
own use as well as to sell to their
neighbors. If next year's com crop
should be a total or partial failure, It
might not be possible to harvest nny
good seed at all from It. In that event,
this year’s seed, If properly chosen nnd
well on red for during the winter
months, will not only he good seed for
1920 hut better seed In 1921 than Im-
ported seed will he.
In 1015, In the northern corn belt,
most of the com failed to mature. We
had little good home-grown seed for
the 1916 planting. This should hnve
taught us a lesson., We should have
saved n two years’ supply for seed in
1910. hut we didn’t In 1917 the corn
again failed to mature nnd we were
ngaln caught without seed. The result
was that the fanners of the United
States lost millions of dollars because
of the reduced yield In 1918. The
1910 corn crop promises to be one of
the largest on record, and few farm-
ers will have any excuse for not saving
an abundance of seed.
To save plenty of good seed Is al-
ways good business. If our surplus is
not needed for seed It will not be
wasted. It always will have a market'
value, or It may be fed to stock. If It
should be needed for seed. It will be
worth many times Its market value as
grain. We can Import potatoes, oats
or wheat, but we cannot import seed
corn nnd expect to got as good results
ns we would get from corn grown in
the Immediate neighborhood.
The Importance of testing seed corn
before planting Is now generally recog-
nized nnd practiced by farmers every-
where, but all the testing in the world
will nvnll nothing unless good seed Is
selected after harvest nnd then prop-
erly stored and cared for until test-
ing time comes.
Paradoxical as It may seem, the
best looking ears will not always prove
to be the best for seed. As a mat-
ter of fact, one national authority on
the subject states that he has fre-
quently planted seed from blue-ribbon
ears—ears Judged according to the
score card ami seemingly physically
perfect—nnd failed to get as good re-
sults from them as he did from ears
which would never win a prize on ac-
count of their shnpe. The trouble Is
that these fine looking ears do not give
nny line on their yielding power until
after they hnve been tested. Conse-
quently, if n farmer selects ears based
solely on their appearance, he might
get nothing hut poor reproducers, nnd
It would then be too late to save other
ears for planting.

NEGLECTING THAT
COLO OR COUGH?
Why, when Dr. King's New
Discovery so promptly
checks it |
human nature for the farmer to save,
believing they should be best for seed,
are more often than not abnormal ears,
due to late maturing or to some defect
which nature has endeavored to cor-
rect during the period of growing by
the use of abnormal methods. As a
A medium sized ear, say ten and a
half or eleven Inches long, with a cir-
cumference of approximately seven
Inches, Is about right. Straight rows
Indicate careful selection and breeding
In the seed which produced the ear,
nnd for this reason are desirable. On
the other hand, some varieties of corn
are known by their characteristically
crooked rows and should not be dis-
criminated against. An average ear of
the size stated will weigh about 14
ounces when Its moisture content is
15 Per cpnt. nnd It will shrink In length
from one to two Inches during the
process of drying. Of course It will
also shrink In circumference, which Is
something that Is not generally ob-
served by farmers.
Before the selected corn Is finally
stored It must be dried out, so that Its
moisture content will fall as low as 15
per cent, If possible. Under such con-
ditions even a very hard freeze will
have little or no effect on the vitality
of the seed. If the drying out process
can be carried on In a room where
there Is stove heat, or In another room
near enough to get the heat from a
stove, so much the better.
One of the best and simplest meth-
ods of storing seed corn is to tie It up
with binder twine, each string con-
taining from 12 to 15 bars. These
strings may be suspended from wires
strung In the barn or other places
where the corn Is to be kept, and It Is
Important that the Individual ears
should not touch each other. Corn
that Is to be used for seed sbould never
be piled up.
The best place to stpre corn Is some
place where It Is dry, and where there
Is room for the circulation of nlr
between the ears or rows. If n room
or attic In the farmhouse can be
utilized for tills purpose, it makes nn
Ideal storing plnce. But If any out-
building must be used, care should be
taken that the spot where the corn Is
to be hung is as free from dampness at
nil times as possible.
The corn crop of 1018 on 104.407000
acres nmounted to 2.502,665.000 bab-
els. worth $8,416,240,000. The final re-
port of the department of agriculture
gives the acreage of 1910 ns 102 075-
000, the yield 2.917,450,000 bushels and
the value Cl,934.234,000.
The average for the years 1913-17
Is as follows: Acreage, 107,496,000;
yield, 2,749,349,000 bushels; value,
(2,207,560.000.

December 1. This Is the greatest value
ever given the nation's grain crops.
The five gralus-wheat, corn, oats,
rye and barley—aggregated 5,350,344,-
000 bushels, an increase of 41,541,000
bushels over last year. Acreage plant-
ed to the principal crops was 359,124,-
173, compared with 256,407,162 last
year, an Increase of 2,600.000 acres.
^Value of the five leading grains was
$7,177,169,000, compared with $6,761,-
366.000, an increase of $415,803,000.
The corn crop looms up in valuation
above all others, and Is next to the
most valuable ever known, being
worth $3,934,234,000, or $415,000,000
more than last year and 7,000,000 bush-
els over previous estimates, with a
crop of 2,917,450.000 bushels, the fourth
largest on record, and 434,000,000 bush-
els over last year's.
Wheat yield was the second largest
known, 940,987.000 bushels, a gain of
23.000. 000,bushels over former returns
and of 33,887.000 bushels compared
with last year, and vatued at $1,543,-
452.000, compared with $921,438,000 last
year.
A fall down occurred In oats, with
1,248,310,000 bushels, or 28,000.000
bushels more than previously reported,
but a loss of 290,000,000 bushels from’
last year and the shortest in recent
years. Barley was also a disappoint-
ment with 165.719.000 bushels, a loss
the size of a single project handled
In July. It is estimated to cost $b-
271,555.60 for which $600,000 federal
aid Is allowed.
In the record of approvals for tho
month of August Arkansas occupies
first place in the estimated cost and
mileage of projects and In respect to
the largest project Minnesota Is first
In the total number of projects ap-
proved, namely 11, and second In tho
amount of federal aid allowances.
Pennsylvania received the largest
amount of federal aid and her six
approved projects come second In the
estimated cost of the roads.
On a Massachusetts project a short
concrete road, the estimated cost la
at the rate of $127,864 a mile. This
Is the highest average cost per mile
so far shown In any federal aid road.
A bituminous brick or concrete road
In Ohio will average $67,716 a mile
and 7.14 miles of concrete or brick to
Pennsylvania will average $64,015,
while another project In Pennsylvania
will average $56,443 per mile.
