GOOD ROADS DAY.
Fairy Csod Atesdaaee Il Township Trustees
anl Supervisors. Cd. Baker Talks.

"
w ednesday Of last week means there
10 revival Of interest on the part Of
farmers for better roads, there il in
deed hope ahead along that line. On
call Of the Board Of Supervisors the
township officers having in charge
road repairs and construction met at
the county seat Wednesday. Feb. %.
Supervisor Ahart presided. All the
chairs of the SPECTATORS portion Of
the court room were occupied and the
place for the jurymen. Col. W. F..
Baker Of Council Bluffs was the first
speaker He spoke for over an hour
pleading for the construction Of hard
dirt roads and the use of the road
drag to keep them in condition. He
is an enthusiast along the line of
vide tires on the wagons. He was
followed by Prof. Thoa. H. Mcdonald
Of Ames college. who is president of
the Iowa Highway Association. He
spoke as civil engineer. OF course
he said at once that the secret Of
good roads was good drainage. He
explained that the laws of lows
provided for hiring farmers to draa
the roads in front of their own land
The, pay could be fifty cents mil,
for each mile dragged. So up th,
road. and back again would earn ont
dollar. Il is to be hoped that th'
meeting will bear great fruits fol
Crawford county.

Severe Storm Friday.

A storm, mixing wind, lightn-
ing, hail and rain, passed over
the county Friday afternoon and
played havoc with everything
that came in its way. Reports
indicate that crops were severely
blown down and that hail did
much damage in some sections.
Several large trees were blown
down and a few houses were con-
siderably shaken up by the
storm. Fruit suffered the great
est loss and orchards were left
in an unpromising condition.
And all this in direct opposition
to the weather mans prediction.

Everyone seems to be enjoying
the sweet summer days. Let the
happy farmer rise early these
beautiful June mornings and
view his corn field with q mantle
of green and see the sparkling
dew drop dropping from his corn
as the king of day shines on it,
his heart swells with joy when
he thinks he can almost see his
corn growing.

mingles with terrific thunder

not feel thankful we were saved

In the last few years there have
been published, in response to a pop
ular demand, a number of books on
elementary agriculture. These books
have been written, as a rule, for
school use. but are none the less
adapted to the grown-up farmer who
has not made a study of the scientific
side of his work. They are good
books to have in the home library,
both because of the information they
give and because of the interest in
farm life they will awaken. Agri-
culture for Beginners, by Burkett,

Elements of Agriculture, by ]. B. Nc
Bryde. and Agriculture, by Soule and
Turpin, are both published by B. +.
johnson Pub. Co., Richmond, Va,
and are both adapted to Southern
conditions. The price of the first is
60 cents, and of the other rs cents.
First Book of Farming, c. l.. Good

York, $1.0O, is another good book of
this kind. Agriculture for Southern

one Of the best we have seen for the
Gulf States. Rather more advanced
is Agriculture Through the Labora-
tory and School Garden, by Jackson
& Daugherty. Orange Judd Co. $3.50.
Any of these books will well be worth
while to any farmer or to any farm
boy or girl. We wish we could place
one of them in every farm home in
our territory; and we wish every
farm boy could study one of them as
textbook, with a teacher who was
himself interested in the subject.
