The supervisors of the various road
districts should take advantage of the
present condition of the ground and do
such blowing and scraping as are needed

in need of such work and, if il is
neglected, farmers will suffer when they
come to wheat hauling and, if delayed,
as it is generally, till the ground again
becomes dry plowing and scraping will
be of very little service.
