SMALL COUNTY
GETS SUPPLY
OF PAVEMENTS
it County, Md., Completes
15 Year Job In
One Year
By E. E. Duffy
How a «mall rural community may
wake the moat of its highway funds
ia admirably illustrated by Kent
canty, Maryland, where recently 51
■riles of single track hard surfaced
roads were dedicated. These pave-
awats were built within one year and
without increase in taxes. Kent coun-
ty claims that it has solved its road
problem Jand any one who has
Journeyed through the fertile Del-
r-Va country knows that the mud
dust there made it a real pro-
i. The solution of the road pro-
blem is all the more remarkable be-
cauae of Ken county's small popula-
tion of 20,000.
Kent county crammed a fifteen
road job into one year. At first
it aeemed that this would be a gigan-
tic task, one beyond tthe ability of
the little community. But strangely,
the only effort involved on the part
of the taxpayers, aside from arduous
planning and educational work on the
part of the Kent County Chamber of
Commerce, was marking an X on a
ballot. Taxpayers won't even be re-
qnired to pay a cent of additional
taxes for the pavements, except that
they will do more traveling and con-
aoquently their contribution to the
state gasoline tax fund will be some-
what enlarged.
At first glance this seems like a
bit of Utopia, but in reality it's
nothing more than commonsense
financing. In Maryland, as in most
atate's, a portion of the gasoline tax
nwney is refunded to counties by the
stste. Kent county simply capitalised
on this assured income and issued
$900,000 in road bonds for pavements.
The pavements were then laid under
the supervision of the efficient state
highway department. These 51 miles
of roads are now to be maintained by
the state, for they are permanently
surfaced in accordance with state
specifications. In Maryland, as in
several other states, the state high-
way department maintains all main
county roads that have been properly
improved. In effect, Kent county has
shortened its road problem by 51
miles.
Narrow oavements, according to
road records, are gaining in popular-
ity throughout the country, with
something like 3,000 miles in service.
They are held economical and com-
pletely satisfactory where traffice is
light, finances limited, and year
round travel desired.
Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Mary-
land declared at the dedication; "This
ia a historic occasion in that Kent
eodnty is pointing the way, as a
pioneer, in the solution of the local
road problem."
Miss Alice Hitchcock, who has been

Profits Soar When
Farmer Shifts His
Dairy Methods
LaGRANGE—The cow with the
longest horns used to receive the
moat feed in the herd of Paul Hensel,
Fayette countv farmer, whether she
was one-gallon Btripper of a four-
gallon cow. But the old system of
feeding 15 cows a ration of meal and
hulls in one big long trough was
shown b" records to make an $85 feed
bill leave only $28 profit.
All this changed when Mr. Hensel
began weighing each cow's milk and
feeding each according to production.
Three cows were found to be eating
18 cents worth more than their feed
cost, and were sold. The remaining
12 cows showed a feed bill of $56.40
and a profit above feed of $64.51. Mr.
Hensel feeds a balanced ration in
which the grain mixture averages 17
per cent protein, and allows each cow
one pound of grain daily for every
three pounds of milk produced.
