ROAD CAMPAIGN ON
South Texas People Ars Busily
Agitating New Macad-
am Highways.
BIG PROJECTS LAUNCHED

San Antonio. Texas. Sept. IA con-
certed campaign of road building Is be-
ing organized in San Antonio and the
San Antonio country. Public meetings
are being held in the various county
seats and bond issues are being agi-
tated.
II is proposed to build macadam
road from San Antonio to Corpus
Christi on the Gulf Another standard
macadam road is projected from San
Antonio to Kerrville, Is miles into the
mountains. The various counties have
practically agreed upon a bond issue
and it is believed that these roads will
be constructed during the coming
year.
San Antonio already has a network
of roads extending in every direction
from the city, aggregating 1S5 miles.
Organizations Of road overseers are
being formed for the purpose of edu'
cation in methods OF road building
These organizations hold monthly
meetings and the secretaries of the
various commercial clubs are assist
ing them in securing the latest infor
nation from the United States Gov
eminent and from other states in the
matter OF road building.
No public work is likely to prove
more profitable than the construction
OF firm macadam roads. 1t is esti
mated that the loss from bad roads in
the state of Texas is larger than the
loss due to fire. The Texas CONNER
cial Secretaries Association has had a
model road constructed which shows
the cross sections how the building
should be done. This exhibit in con
junction with the State Agricultural
Department is being sent to the var
ious county fairs for educational pur
poses.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. He who
obeys these precepts shall reap album

shall be punished by decrease in yield

Prof. w. C. Palmer. agricultural
editor of the extension department at
the State Agricultural College Of

to the ten commandments Of dry
farming" submitted to John T. Burns,
secretary of the Dry Farming Con-
gress, for adoption at the fifth annual
convention in Spokane, October 3 to
6, in connection with the third inter-
national exposition of dry farmed
products. The commandments follow:
1. Thou shalt plow deep.
Deep blowing permits rain to pene-
trate the soil easily and without run
off. also provides more feeding space
for plant food.
III. Thou shalt keep the surface soil
loose.
This prevents soil moisture from
evaporating and conserves the rainfall.

III. Thou shalt cultivate level.
Level soil affords the least exposure
to the air and will take in rainfall

". Thou shalt summer fallow.
|. This should be practiced in all dis
tricts where the annual precipitation
is less than Is inches, as it conserves
| two years rain for one crop and kills
weeds and plant diseases; land should
be cultivated. Where the yearly rain
fall is more than Is inches corn is as
good preparation for crop as the

Ten Commandments Of Dry
Farming Prepared BY Expert

Do not hill up the corn, as this wastes
the moisture.
IX. Thou shalt grow clover or al
falfa every few years.
Rotating with these grasses adds fer
tility and organic matter to the soil !;
kills weeds and diseases of plants and
produces an excellent hay and val

X Thou shalt keep stock.
The most profitable way of market
ing grain and fodder Is through stock,
which produce the manure necessary

plenty to the dry land farmer.
