w. II. Case, road supervisor of Dis
trict No. 4, was in the city this morn
ing and reports excellent progress i'll
the road strawing movement which
was launched through these columns
several weeks ago. Mr.. Case states
that owing to the publicity which the
movement recs ived. the farmers i'm the
Eureka fiat country have volunteered
in many instances, to furnish unlimited
quantities of straw and because of this
his work has been greatly facilitated.
Strawing the county road between
Prescott and Clyde is now in operation
and this has been accomplished as far
as Smith Springs The roads that have
been treated to this process are in ex-
cellent condition and hauling heavy
loads of grain is an easy matter.
Since this project was first started.
many of the farmers threshed their
grain near the various roads so that
the straw could easily be obtained and
this has proven of great help To the
supervisor Mr. Case is jubilant over
the success of this undertaking and
was enthusiastic over the paper which
helped the good cause so materially.
