producer with the city consumer is embodied in a bill introdured in ongress by John A Moon and hav ing the indorsement of the postoffice department An appropriation is asked to establish experimental postal motor truck routes between the country and the city and under its provisions farm produce fifty miles from the city center would be picked up and delivered to the ur ban home Much has been heard of the food that goes to waste on the farm for lack of a ready and economical out let to market The advocates of this measure contend that such motor truck routes would go far toward solving this problem An extended adoption nf the proposed system would open a new' large field for motor trucks In a presentation of what the postoffice department deems to be the advantages of motor truck postal routes ourth Assistant Postmaster jGeneral Blakeslee said: experimental legislation is intended to ascertain whether a sys tem of collection and delivery of mail that does not exist today1 is

drainage of roads at the entrances to farms If this law is enforced it will gradually do away with one of the greatest troubles experienced in maintain ing country roads It is impossible to keep a road in good condition unless the roadbed is well drained and it Is Impossible to keep the roadbed drained unless the ditches are kept clear If a farmer build nn entrance to his land by merely laying a four inch pipe or a plank box along the bottom of the ditch and covers this with earth sotas to form a driveway the chances are very good that this construction will prove a dam across the ditch In flat country the smallest size of pipe which will serve as a drain under such a driveway is about ten inches and even such a pipe must he carefully laid and Its ends pro tected so they will nnt become
