TO LESSEN COST OF LIVING
Government Bulletin Shows How
Hauling Is Cheapened in South—
Actual Figures Given.
Good roads are an Important factor
in the reduction of the cost ot living.
At least that is the theme of the latest
farmers’ bulletin of the department of
agriculture, which shows that the ben-
efit from improved highways does not
accrue only to automobilists, but aUo
to the farmer and the shipper of prod-
uce of all kinds. For instance, there
are parts of the south, according to
(he bulletin, In which the time required
for hauling goods to market has been
reduced from twelve to two days by
the Improvement of the highways and
a saving of three dollars a day in
drivers’ pay alone thus has been effect-
ed. Really good roads would save the
cotton states of the south approxi-
mately $2,000.01100 according to the de-
partment, which gives these figures to
prove Its contention:
new construction work at Fort Sill is
provided for in the acceptance of bids
by the quartermaster. The Improve-
ments include 40.000 square feet of
concrete sidewalks, one mile of ma-
cadam road and a large storage res-
ervoir. Bids will be opened at once
for a four-mile pipe line connecting
with Lawton’s water line from the
mountains, adding another $30,000
worth of improvements. C. J. Bur-
bank of Enid was low bidder on the
Contracts let.
Million Acres of Land to te Sold
More than one million acres of new
college land in Cimarron, Texas and
Reaver counties will be placed on
sale soon by the state school land de-
i partment. Secretary John It. Wil-
liams and several members will make
a personal investigation of the situa-
tion and make plans for the sale. The
! delegation will be accompanied by
Senator Aycock of Texhoma, who has
been taking an active part In getting
the school board to ofTer the lam! fo»'
‘ sale.
"In the cotton states of the south the
total cost of hauling the cotton crop
j in 1911, including the seed, was $37,-
j 175,63-4. Any system of road improve-
i ment throughout this zone which
| would reduce the annual hauling
I’harge five per cent, would effect a
saving of $1,868,781 a year. From these
figures It would appear that It would
be good business to incur an expense
j tor road Improvement, even If such
j investment entailed an annual inter-
! est and maintenance charge of $1,000,-
000 to the community of cotton states."
"There are certain direct economic
: or money advantages which follow the
j improvement of public roads In every
j community,” says Acting Director
Sargent of the department in the bul-
letin. "These advantages are probably
most apparent in the reduced cost of
| hauling.
"Certain dependent or reflex eco-
I nomic advantages also arise in a com-
j rnunity where roads have been ira-
I proved. The increase in the value of
I farm lands Is an example of the indi-
I rect economic advantages of improved
road conditions. It should not be con-
sidered, however, that. In presenting
(he advantages of improved roads the!
direct increase In the cost of hauling i
and the Increase in farm values are (
entirely separate and independent. The
farm Increases In value partly because ;
1 he cost of hauling is decreased.
"Whatever methods are used to im-
prove a road, the Improvement for I
hauling purposes Is due to three
causes—the betterment of the road
surface, the reduction o* the grade and \
the shortening of the length. On such
an Improved road the time required to
haul a given quantity of material a
given distance Is reduced. The reduc-
tion may be largely due to increased
speed of hauling, to increased load, or j
to both. It is important to recognize
that for transportation purposes re-;
duction of time is equivalent to a de- !
crease of the distance from the mar- j
ket centers. It is easy to see, then,
why the increase of farm values must j
follow’ improved roads, for their effect,
is to bring the farms, in a sense, near- J
ar the towns. The fact that on roads I
with improved surfaces hauling be- J
comes largely independent of the sea-
son of the year or weather conditions
means another very considerable re-
duction in hauling costs. It also means
that many of the limitations of the
number and kind of farm operations
are immediately removed.
"In order to fix one’s ideas on the
reduction in the cost of hauling due to
the improvement of roads, the trans-
portation of goods to the railroads and
of farm produce to marked should be
considered. The cost of this work in
the United States at present is high,
and is due mainly to steep grades and
yielding road surfaces on unimproved
roads. When a grade exceeds a rise of
six feet to the hundred feet in a hori-
'ontal measure, It becomes an increas
ing hindrance to traffic. On any grade,
in addition to the surface conditions,
the force of gravity must be overcome.
The horse must also raise his own
! weight and. because of the manner in
i which his strength is applied, It be-
comes less and less available as the
! grade increases. It must alw’ays be re-
j membered that the worst grade on any
road tends to limit the load that can
pass over the entire road ”

Federal iaws against the “introduc

were% held by the supreme court to
I prohibit tne introduction of liquor

] counties occupied by Indians.
If eggs, while hatching, become soil
ed. and it is necessary to clean them,
a basin of warm water at a tempera-
ture of 103 degrees Fahrenheit should
be used, but not above this, a little
less being better than a greater de-
gree.
The eggs should be put into thiB wa-
ter and the dirt gently removed after
soaking and washing with the hands,
then dried with a cloth and put back
in the nest, which should be first re-
newed with clean hay. If not badly
soiled they may be cleaned by gently
scraping with a knife or with the fin-
gers. Care is necessary to avoid crack-
ing the shell or Jarring the egg. as
such an injury will destroy the pos-
sibility of a hatch.
