Measuring the network of federal-
aid highways spread over the country
during the past five and one-half years,
the bureau of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
places their total length, January 1
last, at 28,741.6 miles, and their cost at
approximately $500,000,000. The fig
ures represent 12,007 miles of complet
ed roads over which traffic is flowing
today and 15,834 miles of roads under
construction and on that date estimat
ed to be, as a whole, 70 per cent com
plete.
In mileage of completed federal-aid
roads, Texas leads with a total of 1,-
110.4 miles. In addition, there were

HIGHWAYS MORE ATTRACTIVE
Shade Trees Set 50 or More Feet
Apart Would Make Roads Pleas
anter to Travel Over.
Our highways would be much more
attractive if lined with shade trees.
These trees could be set 50 or more
feet apart and would do little damage
either to the adjoining property or the
roadway. They would make the road
pleasanter to travel over and also to
live by.

Hints
SMALL BEETLES HARM TREES
8hot-Hole Borer and Ita Tiny Grub
May Attack All Kinds of Fruit
—Means of Control.
{Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Shot-hole borer (Scolytus rugulosis)
is a small beetle whose tiny grub may
attack all kinds of fruit trees and
other trees. It is most important In
the orchard but on weakened nurs
ery trees It may also appear. The
female beetle makes a tunnel between
the bark and wood and lays eggs
along either side of this. In time the
small borers extend their work, often
girdling limbs or the trunks of small

trees, causing weakening or death of
such trees. As a rule it is a weak
ened tree that is most likely to suffer
injury.
Since the pest thrives best in weak
or dying trees or limbs, keep all or
chard prunlngs removed from the or
chard. In the nursery avoid the use
of left-over trees for filling draws
and the like alongside the growing
stock. Remove and burn trees which
are too seriously Injured by the pest
to be saved. In the orchard prompt
ly prune out affected limbs and de
stroy them. The regular summer
sprays with arsenate of lead and lime-
sulphur for fruit Insects will tend to
repel this pest where spraying is
thoroughly done.
TIME TO RENEW OLD ORCHARD
Best to Begin Work of Reclaiming
in Winter, but It Can Be Begun
in Any Season.
While the best time to begin the
ivork of reclaiming the orchard Is in
the winter, it can be begun at any
time. There are several important
things to do, and about the first one
wiH be to make the soil rich and put
it into good tilth. No trees can do
well In a poor soil, in bad mechanical
condition, and with all the humus
Used up. This work can be started
right off no matter what time it is.
Give the tree renewed lifeblood—
sap—filled with plant food, and the
tree will be stopped In its decay at
once. Then follow with the pruning
and cleaning up of the tree Itself,
and you will be surprised In a short
period at the difference It will make,
both in appearance and in production.
Where the trees have not been
badly Infected with the black twig
blight, there is a good chance for
overcoming almost any ailment that
is injuring them. The blight Is diffi
cult to overcome because it is a sap
disease. While apples are not usual
ly so badly Infected with this dis
ease as pears, it can be carried from
the pear trees Into the apple orchard
if one is not very careful.
SPRAYING TREES IN SPRING
Applioation May Be Made at Timr
When Fields Are Too Wet for
Work With Other Crops.
It is true that spretying comes at a
time when most men feel they ought
to be in the fields, but it is also just
as true that generally the fields are so
wet during the time when the sprays
may be applied, that you couldn’t be
In the field even if you wished, and you
can get your trees sprayed in the
springtime if you are in earnest.
SUITABLE SOIL FOR GRAPES
Light, Well-Drained Loam Is Prefer,
able, Though They Will Thrive
on Sandy Lands.
Grapes prefer a light well-drained
loam soil. They will do well in sandy
or gravelly soils if suitable means are
employed to conserve moisture and
provide additional nutrients. Grape
vines should never be left in sod. The
soil about them should either be thor
oughly tilled or heavily mulched with
straw.
Deserve Best Soil.
Don’t plant fruit trees and plants
on a garden on land that Is too poor
for other crops. Both deserve good
land.
Thorough Spraying Necessary.
It is seldom possible to produce
heavy yields of sound apples without
thorough spraying.
