FIX UP THE RoADSIDES.
How Farmers in Minnesota Utilize
the Otherwise Waste Land
in Crop Gro wing.

The law of Minnesota calls for 4 pub
lie highway four rods wide and it has
been the general practice to leave the
full four rods uncultivated. In most
cases this space has been ~overgrown
with weeds only, that were not even
cut down once a year. In this way
many of the most obnoxious weeds
have filled the adjoining fields and
been spread over the adjoining coan-
try by sticking to the wagon wheels
whenever the roads were wet, This
has moi been the only trouble-there
were thousands of acres lying idle ev-
cry year, because overgrown by weeds.
But Lewis Olsen writes to tne Farm
and Home that a gradual change for
the better is being worked out by the
rapidly growing tendency among farm
ers to utilize all waste land along the
roadsides by cultivation and growing
grain or grass up to the very road
track actually in daily use. AS the law

One Of the curiosities Of Burma is a
cigar Of monstrous and alarming ap-
pearance. which every one smokes from
an early age. "The indigenous article
is a monster eight inches long" writes
V. c. Scott O'Connor in his book, "The
silken East" 1T consists of chopped
wood, tobacco, molasses and various
herbs trapped in the silver white skin
Of 1 bamboo. SO wide in diameter is 1t
that it completely fills up the mouth
Of any young damsel who tries to
smoke it. For presentation purposes
this long cheroot is often wrapped at
one end in a. coat Of purple or gold
paper. 1t accumulates a formidable
mass Of FIRE at the lighted end and re-
uuires some skill IN the smoking But
the Burman infant acquires this skill
before he can walk and while he is
still at the breast. No one thinks Of
smoking such a cigar through. Two or
three long puffs, the lips Of the smoker
thrust ont to meet the circle Of the
cigar and It Is put down or passed on

Washington, Feb II. - President

Dor. TO begin Immediately the oil in
vestigation requested by the house OF
representatives in a resolution adopted
unanimously.
The investigation. by direction OF
the president. will be rigid and COM
prehensive. The president has direct
ed a letter to Commissioner Garfield,
In which he has given his directions
and presented in outline his views.
The inquiry will be pressed as rapid
ly as possible. The scope Of the inves-
tigation and the time It will occupy
cannot be indicated at this time Rep
resentatlve Campbell, Of Kansas, the
author of the resolution adopted by
the house, had a conference with Pres
ldent Roosevelt. Mr.. Campbells idea
is that the investigation should con-
cern particularly the situation in the
Kansas field, but he expressed to the
president his belief that the inquiry.
once begun, would extend to the oper-
ations Of the Standard OH company In
the Beaumont field Of Texas, and per-
haps 10 other fields.
In an interview. Representative
Campbell depicted conditions in Kan
sas az a result Of the boycott and out
lined his plan for relief. He said.
Several years ago oil was found on
farms in the eastern portion OF the
state The farmers we're inexperienced
and listened readily to the advice OF
Standard oil agents, who were on the
ground. and, while they invested nc
money. were profuse in giving advice
The farmers allowed the Standard tC
connect their wells with the pipe line
the trust built from Oklahoma to Kan
sas City. and they we're carried away
by the declaration of the trust tina
they would be paid the highest prize
for their crude oil.

fact that the farmers had squirmed
