Worlds Soils Are Not
Gradually Wearing Out

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Declaring that
the worlds soils are today more fertile
than ever, Prof. Whitney, chief Of the soils
bureau in the Department OF Agriculture,
in bulletin just issued, takes a stand in
direct opposition TO the views Of many
writer's that soils are gradually wearing
out.
Prof. Whitney states that a study Of the
record for the last forty years will show
that the average OF crops is increasing,
practically in the older states, where the
soil has been worked the longest There
has been, he states, an increase Of two
bushels in the average yield OF wheat per

THE soils OF New England have ma
terially increased In yields OF corn and

fessor, but what is more startling they
are producing considerably heavier yields

He adds that an examination Of records
shows that the leading European nations
are not only producing greater crops now
than at an earlier period, but the crops are
larger than those produced by the compare

But our roads We're in a miserab BILE
condition. full of mudholes and deep
ruts.
At the suggestion of Postmaster Fill
! son we held good roads, picnic in
Cameron for the purpose of emphasiz-
ing the necessity of good roads in Or
der to secure the rural free delivery.
The meeting was addressed by D.
Ward King, the "evangel of good
roads in Missouri" who explained the
value of the King drag, and other
speakers. Of the thousands who at
tended the picnic many pledged them
selves to q constant use of the drag
AS result we have now in place of
mudholes and ruts we'll rounded, level
solid roads in all this vicinity. We
have eight rural carriers out Of Cam
eron instead of the one we escorted
with a brass band, and since that
event land values have more than
doubled in this locality. Now even the
renters have caught the spirit of the
good roads movement, and there is no
doubt that the voluntary dragging of
the roads will be kept up.-James Will

Needless Wear of Roads by Autos,

A county surveyor protests against
the habit which many motorists have
of doing the majority of their driving
on the crown or center Of the road.
This method of driving means that
one portion of the road takes all the
wear and naturally. of course, gets
worn into ruts and ridges. If the
traffic would spread itself and make
all that portion of the road from gut
ter to the top of the crown take a
share of the wear, road surfaces would
last much longer and would require
less frequent repair. In these days
when roads are made almost fiat there
is no excuse for this habit of clinging
to the crown, but where roads are
made with 4 great deal of Gambler it
is perhaps excusable. as driving on a
continuous slope is the reverse Of
pleasant.

ROCK ROADS AND FARMS.
Missouri Farmer Tells of the Advan-

missouri Farmer Tells OF the Advaf-
tages of Macadam Highways.
Elijah Carel, who owns farms in
Jackson and Clay counties, Mo-, is
very much in favor of rock roads.
Springs on macadam highway and
says it is hard to estimate their value
to farmers.
"If l We're going to buy another
farm in Clay county would pay 500
an acre more for the same land on a
rock road than away from that kind
of road" Mr.. Carel said. "If Clay
county farmers once lived on rock
road and realized it's worth to them
they would not hesitate to pay $40 an
acre for the improvement. Over in
Jackson county we can haul big loads
to market at any time when the mar
kets are the highest and when we
could not get there at all on dirt roads.
1t is a great satisfaction and pleas.
ure. too, to know that we can get over
the roads well at any time we may de-
sire to go. When the Clay county
farmers get rock roads their only re-
greet will be that they didn't get them
sooner"
Mr.. Carol paid $50 an acre for his
farm of 100 acres in Jackson county
five years ago and has refused $125
an acre several times for it since. He
believes it is easily worth $50 an
acre because of the rock road. All of
which is some different from 500 in

borhood. The more attention given to
, dragging road the quicker Whit dry
out ahead Of its neighbors. Eventually
after several years of persistent drag
, ging the mud shell on the surface of
such a road will become so hard that
even after cloudburst of rain a pick
will with difficulty be made to pene-
trate the surface for over two inches.
BY the skilled use Of the drag the
road can be made high in the middle
The average neglected country road is
usually hollow in the middle and after
a rain has small lakes and pools stand
ing over it's surface, sometimes for
many days and weeks. But the
dragged road, having such crown.
sheds water into the side cutters.
These facts to the uninitiated or
skeptical may on first impression
seem farfetched or exaggerated. but
they are facts based on the experience
of reputable men from Missouri to
New York state who have been drag
ging the country dirt roads after ev-
cry rain.
The roads today in many sections of
the United States are no better than
they We're fifty years ago. even with
the labor and money that have been
expended upon them. In some locali-
ties almost the entire amount of the
tax is expended in temporary work,
while nothing is spent for permanent
Improvement. with the result that con-
ditions remain unchanged. The sooner
we can get system Of road dragging
inaugurated in every community the
sooner will we have the 80 per cent
Of our neglected dirt roads adequately

Dragging Road When Muddy Fills

Soon Make Smooth, Hard Surface.
1t has been said that only 10 per
cent of the roads in the entire United
States are the main Travelled highways.
The other 90 per cent are the common,
everyday country dirt roads. In the
ordinary discussion regarding road i'm
provement our thoughts and energies
., frequently lead us to the discussion
of macadamized roads, brick, stone and
other specially constructed roadbeds
that the vast majority of our dirt roads
are lost sight of. We talk about neces-
sity for road rollers and road scrapers,
rock crushers and various other es-
sential roadmaking devices, and then
when we figure out the cost of such
roads at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile we oftentimes wonder how many
generations it will take for our dirt
roads to be adequately maintained, ac-
cording to the best systems. Because
Of the utter hopelessness OF getting

souri, a man named d. Ward King
built drag out of log split in half
some thirteen years ago, and after
every rain, while the mud was soft,
he drove up and down the road in front
of his farm for half a mile, pulling
the drag at an angle Of forty five de-
grees. Such marvellous improvement
resulted from the use of this primitive
device that scientific investigation by
road engineers has been instigated, and
the matter has now passed beyond the
experimental or guesswork stage.
The 80 per cent of our dirt roads in
the United States, properly dragged
after a rain, can be made almost as
satisfactory during the greater part
of the year. as extensively hard sur
faced highways and at a ridiculously
small cost per mile, carrying from So

In view of the general awakening

who are interested of the wonderful
improvement that has been brought
about in dirt roads by persistent use

conceived the idea that the farmers in

have the benefit of rural free delivery.
The idea was ridiculed, but persistence
won. The first carrier that left the

by brass band over the entire route,
