WORKING FOR BETTER ROADS
Iowa Supv'ntendent of Public Inclruc-
tlon Makes Sonr.o Valuable Sug
gestions for,lmprovement.
Good roads and good sclioolhouses,
are tlio two big factors In tho growth)
and betterment of nil tho grain-belt
atatrs. This was tho underlying Idea
In the address dolivcred beforo tho
Iowa State Teachers' convention by
tho state superintendent of public in
struction, Mr. A. M. Deyoe. That
Iowa, aB well as all tho typically ag-'
rlcultural states of tho nation, must'
become educated away from tho old;
stylo of road and tho old stylo of one
room schoolhouso beforo It can at
tain to tho full measure of Ub great-t
ness, 1b quite generally conceded. Su-'
porlntendent Deyoe made somo valu-'
nolo suggestions no to how the money1
expended for good roads might be,
spent to bettor advantage, saying:
"Good schools and good roads are,
tho two raoal Important needs In rural
communities. Both may bo occured
with but little greater expense than
tho most of maintaining the present
prevailing system of rural schools and
the indifferent methods used in road
building. Tho consolidation of schools
is not wholly dependent upon the
making of permanent roads. Tho
transportation of pupils to schools is
being managed quite satisfactorily in
Iowa and other states whero perma
nent roads hate not yet been estab
lished. However, as a matter of con
venience, In many wayB, good roads
play tuch an important part In rural
lift) development that our state should
no longer delay by legislative action
to adopt some systematic plan of per
manent road construction. Approxi
mately $3,479,382 was paid In cash aB
road tax In Iowa for tho year 1011.
This amount does not Include the
amount of tax expended In work. Tho
automobile tax for the year closing
Juno 30, 1912, was $505,000, which will
increase from year to year at tho pres
ent rate. It is safe to estimate the
total amount avallablo road tax In cash
as $1,000,000, which should build at
least 1,000 miles of permanent roads.
Ten years of permanent road construc
tion would glvo 10,000 milcB of good
' roads, whereas, If the present method
of road building continues, our roads
i will practically be no better at tho end
of the ten-year period than they
are today. This estimate takes no con
sideration of tho tax annually worked,
which would be avallablo for use in
necessary general repair of roads. Bet
ter social and Industrial conditions will
follow tho establishment of good roads
and good schools.
The good roads problem will un
doubtedly come in for greater discus
sion in tho grain belt states this win
ter than ever beforo. Tho teachers
are a wonderful factor for good In any
state. If they can bo Inspired to take
up the cudgel for better highways
much good must inevitably result,
says tho Iowa Homestead. Farm
homo improvement, rural church bet
terment and country schdol advance
ment aro splendid things, devoutly to
be sought, but they fall of their high
est purpose and object If they do not
bring colncldentally with them the
permanent roadways on which real
rural and urban prosperity actually depend.

GET ROADS INTO CONDITION
Where Rough Spots Have Former"
King Road Drag May Be Used to
Advantage During Mid-Day
Thaws.
There's a bad condition of country
roads along In the fall duo to late
rains and hard freezes. They become
so rough that It makes tho horsoa
feet sore to travel over them, shakes
tho wagon nearly to pieces and makes
riding anything but ploasant.
This condition can bo helped n great
deal by tho Judicious uso of tho King
road drag. If tho roads had been kept)
in proper shapo all summer and fol
lowing the fall rains they would have
shed water and not becomo muddy, to
freeze rough. But after It has hap
pened the next best thing Is to uso
tho drag on them during tho mid-day.
thaw. Then the hummocks will bo
planed down and tho ruts filled to
freeze moro smooth during the night.
Of course, It will take coustant watch
Ing and care for a few days lu tho
fall to put tho roads In proper condi
tion for a freeze but It will pay to do
so. The farmors do much hauling In
winter and for tho sake of the horses,
tho driver and tho wagon, and for the
sake of having flno sleighing when tho
onow comes, it pays to havo the roads
in good condition. ,
If no one has a King drag then got
out tho spike tooth harrow and
smooth the roads.
It will be a good thing in some
places to thin out tho groves and
hedges along the roads. These catch
the snow and cause bad drifts all win
ter. Theso drifts cause very bad mud
holes in tho spring. Uso the ax wherf
necessary.
Tho discovery or Invention of the
cheapest and most easily prepared of
all tho Insecticides and fungicides
and tho ono which can be used to
greatest advantago during tho period
of vegetative dormancy, tho llmo
sulphur spray, was 6no of tho hap
piest of recent years.
It has proved by far tho most de
pendable agent In keeping under con
trol that most destructive and exces
sively multiplying of all orchard
ncst3. tho San Joso scale and liko-
wlso all tho other fruit tree scales
and was soon ascertained to bo equal
to and In somo lnatnnccs superior to
the famous Bordeaux mixture for tho
extirpation or rendoring Inert the
over wintering gorms of blights, rusts,
fruit-rots and other fungous diseases,
cays a Missouri writer In tho Farm'
Progress.
Bacterial blights, crown galls on
various trees and berry bushe3 and a
few other rather raro tree diseasos do
not howover ylold to this or any other
chemical application, and can only
bo kept In check by frequent uso of
the knife, pruning shears and by dig
ging out and burning. But for tho
insects and diseases above enumerat
ed, when made according to tho
stanard formula and applied at the
proper tlmo and In tho proper way,
It has no superior as an Insecticide
and fungicide It may bo adapted to
other purposes also, as, for example,
to tho spraying of poultry houses,
pigeon loftB and lnclosures for tho
larger animals.
Ono very successful poultry grower
uses It In tho place of tho common
lime wash In lila poultry houses and
claims that It la an absolute remedy
for and preventive of mites and other
parasites when applied to the walla
as a spray and of scaly leg and other
skin diseases when well diluted on
tho legs and other parts of the fowls
affected and, In fuller strength, to
tho perches and nest boxes.
When a large number of trees and
shrubs are to be treated tho spraying
solution can. be more economically
made at home than purchased In
concentrated form. Tho directions
for malting tho winter spray aro as
follows:! Slako 30 pounds of best,
llmo In- Iron kettle In just enough
water to do It thoroughly, and while
it is slaking add 30 pounds of
flour or commercial sulphur by dust
ing it on tho bubbling llmo, and stir
It vigorously to thoroughly mix the
two Ingredients, adding enough hot
water to make the stirring easy.
Let it boll for ono hour and when
partially cooled strain through sack
ing Into a largo barrel. When ready
to use, add enough hot water to make
100 callous and nnnlv while still
qulto hot.
For tho Braall family orchard it
saves much troublo to buy the con
centrated lime sulphur solution pre
pared with chemical accuracy at a
number of manufactories by the
barrel and dilute each gallon with
11 gallons of hot water. A bar
rel of the concontrate sold last year
for eight dollars, with ono dollar re
bato If the barrel was returned. This
Is by no means an expensive prepara
tion, as a single gallon of the con
centrate, reducod according to direc
tions, will spray a quito largo tree.
Tho spraying should bo done as
early In tho winter as possible, choos
ing a still day, when the mercury 1b
nbovo tho frost point. Havo every
part of tho spraying apparatus In or-,
dor beforo turning tho hot solution,
Into tho pump tank. Tho faco of the
operator should bo protected with
wldo-brimmed, old felt, hat, pulled,
well down, and old leather or buck-i
Bkln gloves should bo worn, wlthi
warm but not valuublo clothing. Al-
wnya throw tho spray with thei
breezovhon there Is any of tho latter.
Under tho best conditions tho task
Is a disagreeable one, but if every'
part of ovcry treo Is thoroughly
dampened It will not need to bo ro-.
peatcd for a year.
When tho treatment Is concludod1
the pump and nozzles nnd tubing
must be thoroughly washed with,
clear water and dried aB soon as pos
slblo to prevent corrosion of nil tho
metal parts and injury to tho rubber.

REFUSED TO GET EXCITED
MUCH LOSS FROM
USING POOR SEED
-
One Must Continually Select Good
and Persistently Destroy
Bad to Succeed.
(By A. T. WOODS.)
Tho Importanco of natural variation,
and differences In climato in relation,
to agricultural production, haa nover
been fully realized. Under natural!
conditions only those survive which,
can modify their habits of growth soi
as to mako a successful resistance to;
destructive lnlluences and propogatoi
their kind.
When man enters in as a factor ho!
may, and" usually does in a cohsidera-l
bio measure, Interfere with these nat-j
ural adjustments. Ho selec.s individ
uals and cultivates them for some
natural peculiarity, and aB a result.
Intensifies these features; but unless
ho follows nature's methods and de
stroys tho plants that aro not best
adapted to his conditions and require
ments ho soon gets a mixture or moi
vlduals, good, bad and indifferent, and
cultivates them all together.
On tho other hand, if ho selects tho
individuals that give tho best results
under his peculiar conditions and pre
vents their crossing with tho less de
sirable sorts, he soon develops a strain
of high eillclency and productiveness,
for thoso particular conditions; but,
like nature,, he must continually select
tho good nnd persistently destroy tho
bad, or eventually lose all auu see mo
variety "run out."
Tho great Importance of selecting
and growing seed under tho conditions
under which tho future crop must bo
grown is now apparent
Dairying Is Supreme.
The fertility which live stock makes
on tho farm Is ono of tho advantages
to be derived from this clase of farm

Tho topic switched to taking n phil

man Patrick D. Norton of North Da
kota told of tho beautiful ctfmposuro
with which ono Jones met n rather
trying situation.
One day Mrs. Jones rushed Into tho
old mnn's presence with hasty Bteps
nnd a wild look of excitement.
"Oh, John! Oh, John!" sho ex
claimed with a lot of emotional thrills.
"Norah made a mistake and tried to
light tho kitchen flro with gasollno!"
"Gasoline, eh?" calmly responded
John. "Did she get It started?"
"Did sho get It started?" cried tho
amazed Mrs. Jones. "It blow her out

"That's aU right, my dear," re
turned the philosophic Jones. "It was
her afternoon out, anyway."
