ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

All over the west where the old road
district, comprising four or five Sec
tons Of land. has been obliterated and
the unit Of organization become the
township. and the road work placed In
the hands Of one or more competent
men, an immense improvement IN road
work Is noted. More work Is obtained
for the money spent. and much better
and more permanent work. While
there is yet some reluctance on the
part of taxpayers to surrender their
right to work out their road taxes and
pay such taxes in money. still this idea
is getting more and more of foothold
and the time will come in the future
when the road tax will be paid In mon
ey. just as other taxes, and dollars
worth Of work obtained for every dol
lar spent.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1900-02-21
CHANGE OF SEED.

The seed used on any farm should
be changed every three years at least
In making such change Of seed. grains
roots and plants, 1t should be remem'
bered that the new seed should al
ways come from the north Of where
you live and not from the south. and
that II your land Is sandy the seed
should come from stiff clay soil and
vice versa. Good money can be made
by any farmer by pursuing an intelli
gent course in this matter Of changing
seed. The farther north peas, barley
wheat. oats, fax and potatoes can be
obtained for seed, the better will II
be. The same rule will apply largely
to apple trees. Seed corn obtained
from northern fields will also mature
earlier and thus be surer crop.
