THE GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN.

AS stated in The Advertiser few
weeks ago. the Columbia Record had
planned a good roads campaign of the
entire State during the months of July
and August. the purpose being to visit
each county seat and hold good roads
meetings. In this connection the coun-
~ papers have been invited to cooper
ate with The Record management in
making tie meetings a practical sue
cess.
The campaign opened auspiciously
with the first meeting at Newberry.

is accompanied by Mr.. ID. III. Wins
low, government expert In road

campaign, the Laurens meeting Will
be held on Friday August 26 Super
visor IIumbert and many other leading
citizens are interested in the proposed
meeting and there will doubtless be a
large crowd in town TO greet the good
roads enthusiasts and promoters. The
place for holding the meeting will be
decided upon later. Meantime the
Chamber OF Commerce will be invited
to name committee to work i'm CON
Junction with the county supervisor
and the local newspapers in the matter
of arranging reception for the visitors
and place for holding the meeting.
Mr.. Winslow, the expert road build
er who accompanies the party has
quite number of lectures on the sub
ject, and in order to select the topic
which will be most suitable for the
Laurens meeting, it is suggested that
the readers of Tie Advertiser advise
us which subject most appeals to them
the list of Mr.. Winslow's lectures, i'm
part, being as follows: Essentials OF
Road Building, Roads and Business
Roads and Land Values, Roads and
Education, Women and Roads, Sand

eering, Roads and Church Attendance

incentive farming the same as
the Illinois, Iowa and Indiana
farmer does. 1t is not that
their soil is richer naturally,
but because they cultivate more
intensively, use fertilizers plen-
tifully and have smaller acreage
per capita to look after. What
is needed right here in this part
of Texas is to increase the Weld
per acre, not only of corn, but
of wheat and other grain, and
cotton. In our way of thinking,
nothing but intensive farming
and studying all the improved
methods of cultivating along
these intensive lines will bring
Texas up to some of the fore
most farm states. We may
state also that We need to in
crease the yield of milk per COW.
Herein lies the profit of the fu-
ture Texas farm.

TIMELY HINTS.

Here are some suggestions for
the civic club to look after,
which when put into motion
would result in great benefit to
our dumb animals. First, the
location and maintenance of two
suitable places to water horses
that are driven to this city from
the adjoining places, and espe-
cially so by strangers who
would and should. water their
faithful animals before and after
a long drive, especially so dur
ing the dusty times. Women
who drive in from the country a
number of miles would water
their horses if there was such a
place in this city. We are told
that some months ago the ladies'
held an ice cream sale in the
new court house for the express
purpose of raising funds to
erect one or more watering
fountains where both man and
beast could obtain drink of
good water. If such are the
facts, possibly this matter will
be consummated soon.
Then there is the matter of
Trees" and tree planting which

INTENSIVE FARMING AND CORN YIELDING

From one Of the exchanges We
cleaned the following statistical
result as to the production OF
Indian corn in the ten states
which raise 100 million bushels
or over. Illinois stands at the
head of the list of corn produc-
ing states with 800 million bush
els: Iowa with 294 million; Mis-
souri,. 215 million; Nebraska, 1876
million; Indiana. 1876 million;
Kansas, 155 million: Ohio, 151
million; Texas, III million; Ken
lucky 103 million; Oklahoma, 100
million. OF these ten states,
the older show a larger yield
per acre. Kansas has 1919
bushels, Oklahoma, II bushels
whereas Texas shows only A.
bushels yield per acre. Ken
tuck's yield was % bushels and
Indiana has 40 bushels. If the
yield per acre in Texas had been
what it is in Illinois, Texas in
stead of raising III millions of
bushels would have produced
292 millions of. bushels, putting
her alongside of Iowa, which is
the second state in the list of
ten.
1t must be remembered that
Texas is given more to raising
Katfir corn and milo maize than
Indian corn, it yields better and
larger crops beside being easier
to cultivate. Stock fed on it
will do as well if not better.
The matter of feeding ,Kaffiir
corn and maize was tested just
recently, and the net gain was
in favor of feeding Kaffir and
maize as against Indian corn,
fed to hogs. However, the value
of Indian corn is not so much in
feeding to stock only, but that
it is used by manufactors in
making some fifty or more arti-
cles, which greatly enhances its
value as a raw product. This
enforces the necessity of every
Texas farmer studying it as one
of those things that bring an in
creased yield per acre. The
Texas farmer will have to study

should be looked after as now is
the season for such work. The
Club of Canyon City should not
be out done by neighboring
places. We are told that Plain
view has been planting trees
and is still advocating very
strongly that more be set out
this year until they head the list
of the towns in the Panhandle
country. Clarendon is noted as
a tree town and has been an in
centive to other towns for doing
likewise, and reports have it
that she is now having a tree
planting revival. Even the
thriving little village of Vega is
setting a pace for "COsmopol-
itan Amarillo" to follow in the
matter of tree planting, she
having planted, or will plant,
two car loads of shade trees
this season. Thus we hear the
tree planting subject being dis
cussed. and in most places the
good work is going on-Planting
trees, more trees. Let US plant
more trees. This is one of Can
yon City's great needs.
