Interstate System Will Boost Farm Road Funds US HIGHWAYS for survival Good highways are changing the farmer's way of life and helping enlarge his bank account. They are changing him from an isolated individual, working virtually alone, to a part of an integrated unit who collectively become big business. But even with the vast improvement in farm roads over the past three decades, the need for even better farm roads is still pressing. The question is—how can the farmer get them? Strangely enough, the only real chance for a steady increase in funds for farm roads seems to be in building a highway system that wasn't necessarily designed to serve the farmer alone. This is the building of the Interstate Highway System according to proposals now before Congress. The object is to link together major centers all over the country with a modern, safe highway system that would move relatively few major roads pay more than half the cost of maintaining the large network of secondary routes. Practically every state is now spending all it can now afford on its highways. If the Federal Government builds the Interstate System it will relieve the states of the intense pressure to build these vital major roads. This will release these funds for secondary Mrs. Pearl E.

Squar But even with the vast improvement in farm roads over the past three decades, the need for even better farm roads is still pressing. The question is—how can the farmer get them? Strangely enough, the only real chance for a steady increase in funds for farm roads seems to be in building a highway system that wasn't necessarily designed to serve the farmer alone. This is the building of the Interstate Highway System according to proposals now before Congress. The object is to link together major centers all over the country with a modern, safe highway system that would move farm products and other goods to large markets in a fraction of the time now required. The system would be built almost entirely with Federal funds. How would this benefit the farmer who wasn't lucky enough to live on one of these highways? Interestingly, it is this interstate system which would build and maintain his farm roads for him. It is not generally understood that it is the main highways that earn the money that makes good rural roads possible. Since these main highways carry most of the traffic, they earn the gasoline and other taxes that pay the bills. In Arkansas, for example, the rela-tively few major roads pay more than half the cost of maintaining the large network of secondary routes. Practically every state is now spending all it can now afford on its highways. If the Federal Government builds the Interstate System it will relieve the states of the intense pressure to build these vital major roads. This will release these funds for secondary roads. This direct benefit to the farmer is a bonus which has been generally overlooked. The main question is, of course, whether Congress will vote to do the whole job or try to tackle it piecemeal. It could be built in 10 years but under some schemes it wouldn't get finished in thirty years—if ever. The longer we wait for the Interstate System to be completed, the longer it will take the states to get money for rural roads. Doing the whole job now is important to the entire country and nobody has a more direct selfish interest in its accomplishment than the farmer. John F. Klein, Long A Resident Here, Dies John F.

Square Dances On Schedule at Farm Bureau Hall Square dancing will be held every Saturday night at 8:30 in the Farm Bureau hall at 1916 W. Chapman Ave., in Orange. The increased demand for intermediate level square dancing in this area will be further met by this change from the two Saturday nights a month formerly scheduled. Live music will be on hand to add to the festivity of the dances and everyone who square dances is invited to attend. Guest callers will be on the program from time to time to assist the regular caller in calling the dances. Jim Enloe of Anaheim, popular Southern California caller, was at the last dance and called several "tips" to the enjoyment of everyone present. Square dancers Life of Cut Flowers Lengthened with Care The life of cut flowers may be lengthened considerably by care in removing them from the parent plant. The best time for cutting is during the early morning hours. That's when the plant stems are extremely turgid and evaporation attains its lowest point. The flowers have already stored up in their cells a great amount of moisture; and this helps to prolong their life after they have been removed. The implement used for the cutting should be extremely sharp. Don't use a pair of scissors that has outlived its usefulness. The result will be a ragged edge on the stem, a condition that may shorten the life of the cut flower. Inasmuch as the moisture is absorbed through the stem end it should be obvious that a ragged section will interfere with the speedy movement of moisture upwards through the stem to the flower head. It is best to cut slant-wise, rather than straight across. As soon as possible after cutting plunge the flowers into a deep container filled with water. The flowers should be allowed to rest and absorb as much moisture as possible before arranging them in a vase. It is advisable to leave them in this tub of water for at least several hours before transferring them to the decorative container. It is possible to maintain the water in a clean and healthy state by adding a small amount of charcoal. The water should be changed at least two or three times per week. Follage falling into the water soon decays, thus forming a scum on the surface. The leaves of the cut flowers will react favorably to being washed off from time to time. It is wise to keep the foliage free from dust as any accumulation of dirt particles may stop up the breathing pores on the surface of the foliage. As the flowers start to wither and fade they should be removed; in this way they will not spoil the appearance of the other flowers that still enjoy health and good looks.
