The New Bul'pasture Road

1t is a beautifully graded road.
Bending as it does around the foot

once large and valuable estate, and
with the river and the mountain
on the east, pretty picture of the
etnire valley is formed.
The road is now removed far
ab6ye high water mark, which
principle is right unquestionably,
and should be strictly adhered to
in the building of new roads.
As to road matters our opinion
is worth but little. 1t costs less,
however, and that is why we can
dispense it 50 freely. Ne wish to
say that it is our opinion, that with
proper care, all such side cut roads,
made up Of ebay and slate as this
new, Bullpasture road is. need ney-
er get very muddy Have the road
bed so arranged that when water
falls on it it will run off immedi-
ately. Have side ditch sufficient
ly large to receive the water from
the road bed and carry it away i'm
mediately. After the rain there is
your road unharmed, high and dry.
But should it, from protracted rain,
be inclined to cut up in ruts these
should be filled in and the road bed
made smoothe BY & Light scrapipg.
{This can not apply in the sandy
roads Of Monterey District). A
smoothe surface with no ruts or
holes to catch and hold the water
So that it will soak in, and with
good side bitches to carry it entire
ly away from the road bed is un-
auestionably good idea, and where
You see such you see a good road.
A muddy road can be had every
time by putting it in soak in tile
following manner: Have it mod.
elately low in the middle, and here
and there decided depression so
that all The water that falls ON the
surface of the road may stay right
there and soak. Then have your
side bitches SO arranged that they
will not drain themselves, so that
they will catch and hold what
water would naturally gather in
them from the surrounding
{ rritory, and let it soak. In
d Short time your road will be thor
ougly soaked through and through,
and you kaow what follows.
q A side ditch that has no outlet
is worse than no ditch at ALL. Such
we h,ye seen filled With water and
that water soaking right square
into the road. "
Road workers should remember
that even the worst swamp can be
made as dry as a bone by proper
drainage.
In what we have said about the
arainage Of roads we don't belieye
there is a single thing impractical
bic, and we do believe that, with
possibly few exceptions, it could
BE applied to our county roads
generally.

CROPS DO WELL BUT
RAIN WOULD HELP
Little Damage From the Frost
Which Formed Ice an Eighth
of an Inch Friday Night
CONDITIONS GENERALLY PROMISING
Corn Suffered Heaviest from FrOSts but
viii Yield Good Crop-A Week
With Pilot ScribeS in the
County Districts

The most important feature OF the
crop situation for the past week was the
frost which occurred on Thursday ana
Friday mornings says the Department
bulletin. Reports received from cor
respondents representing nearly every
township in the State show that more
or less damage occurred in nearly every
locality. On high ground the frosts
were very light but on low ground the
temperture fell to and below the freeZ-
ing point in many places and ice formed
TO the thickness OF an eighth OF an lnch
In general the frosts were less severe
along the eastern border Of the state
and in the extreme southern counties
the greatest damage to crops occurring
generally in the central counties. IN
the northern section most field crops
were not sufficiently advanced to be
liable to great damage, although freez-
ing temperatures occurred in exposed
localities. Practically 20 rain occurred
during the week, and while crops are
not suffering from lack Of moisture, rain
would be beneficial
Winter Wheat and Rye continue to
make rapid advancement toward mat
urity, and are generally considered In
very promising condition.
Oats, Barley and Spring Wheat: The
early part Of the week was too cold for
rapid growth but the dry weather was
beneficial to grain on low land, where
the improvement has been quite marked,
especially during the past few days
The present condition Of these crops Is
generally satisfactory.
Corn; There was more or less damage
to corn by frost in exposed localities
and considerable replanting will be
necessary. In some localities, especial
ly in parts Of the central counties, the
plants were frozen to the ground 1t IL
not possible at present to estimate the
acreage that will be replanted rs a total
loss occurred only over limited areas,
where the conditions were generally
favorable for frost.
Potatoes; Planting is now completed
The early paintings in many localities
were injured to some extent by the frost
but the damage is not generally great
Tobacco Considerable transplanting
was done during the week, with the
soil In fair condition The plants are
reported in good condition. There was
some injury by the frosts TO unprotect.
ed plants as well rs to plants set out
early in the week With favorable
weather the bulk Of the crop will be set
during the present week.
Grass and Pastures continue to make
excellent growth. Hay crop will be
heavy.
Fruit; Apple trees arc beginning to
show considerable blight in some sec.
tons, Generally, however, the condi-
tions favor a good crop. Strawberries
are ripening rapidly. The crop will be
moderately large and the quality good.
Reports from the cranberry districts
indicate that considerable damage was
done by tine frosts but no estimate is
obj aiuable at present
