through which the road will pass hav'
been asked to cooperate in making

In commenting on the proposition.
the Des Moines Capital says:
II will be called the Hawkeye
Highway. Several newspapers have
taken over the enterprise led by the
Parrots Of the Waterloo Reporter.
The press all along the line has been
invited to join in theenterprise. The
newspapers have great power in this
good roads work ;. The Hawkeye
highway is to be the best dirt road
that can be made without increased
taxation. The road Is to be graded
1 and dragged from river to river. The
object Of. the Hawkeye Highway will
be to create an object lesson in road
making and to demonstrate what can
be done by the road officers Of the
several counties between the two
rivers on the northern Anes.
The iptercontinental road from
Clinton to Council Bluffs along the
line u the Northwestern Is In full
operation. It has been drained and
dragged and white telegraph poles
mark the line OF the road. The road
along the Northwestern line might be
called the middle road. having in
mind the two other highways.
These definite road projects are
winners. The young men along the
line on the farms and in the villages
are cooperating to help the roads
and thus to help the whole state Of
Iowa.
Iowa can have good roads ten
months in the year by the use OF dirt
draining and dragging. Let us do the
best that we can without increase Of
taxation.
iowa can make great road cam
paign next year even ifthere should
be no legislation. We are not sure
that any legislation should be asked
for. Men cannot agree when 1t comes
TO proposing new plans for new
roads. They can agree on the old
plan.
Let the motto continue to be:
The Best Dirt Roads, Drained
and Dragged. That Can be Made
Without Increased Taxation"
With this slogan the entire state
Ncan win.

Peach Yellows And Little Peach

Reports from all parts OF Delaware
where peaches are grown show that
both peach yellowe and little peach
are more or less prevalent this year,
as they have been for several years
past. Experience continues to show
that both these diseases spread rapid
~ il they are allowed to go uncheck-
ed, for science has so far failed TO
find either no cure and no preventive
except the drastic method of destroy
ing trees upon the first appearance
of disease The "axe and fire" sounds
harsh, but there is no other preven-
tive. Even with the most rigid Ell
forcement of the stamping out pro-
cess It will not be possible to eradt-
cate these diseases entirely. 1t must
be constant fight to save the or
chards. The State Board OF Agricu
ture is ready to assist the orchardlst!
and will send an Inspector to any one
, who has any doubt as to the characte
OF the diseases that rlay be troubling
his peach orchards.

The Puff Ball.

One Of the best of the edible mush-
rooms needs no description. Every
one knows it, but few know that it is
edible. That is the puff ball. When
told of its edibility most people say,
why, is that mushroom" and
many, thinking of it's dusty, powdery
form, wonder that anyone can eat
anything of the sort. 1t is when the
puff ball is young, when its flesh is
white and firm, looking like a piece
of cottage cheese when cut, that it is
good to eat. There are a number of
different varieties, but all are good to
eat. No one need fear puff ball of
any kind if gathered properly. The
giant puff ball seldom has a dame
ter of less than ten inches, and one
gathered near Burlington a year or
two ago weighed nearly forty pounds.
That was equivalent to about the
same amount of meat, for chemical
analysis has shown that the mush-
room contains the same kind of nu-
tritive material in about the same
proportion as meat.

The Beefsteak Mushroom,

Another tree growth, belonging to
a different family, is the beefsteak
mushroom. 1t grows principally OH
the stumps or trunks of oak trees,
and on chestnuts as we'll, but as there
are no chestnut and a few oaks in this
vicinity the beefsteak fungus is rare.
1t is worth knowing, however, and is
easily recognizable. The cap is about
six inches in diameter, sometimes
much larger, varying in color from
pink and dark red and the surface is
soft and moist. The stem is so short
as to be hardly discernable, and the
taste is slightly acid The substance
of the cap much resembles beef when
carved in slices. Cooked waen young
and tender it might easily be mista-
ken for steak, both from its appear
ance and flavor, and when olde, toe
hard 10 eat, it yields an abundant
gravy.
