BORROWING money for good road
is unlike any other business transac-
ton in the world, says the Columbia
Times. If you need wagon or a
team of mules, you do not hesitate TO
borrow money to purchase them, yet
when you have done this you have
only the mules and the money is
gone. See how different it is with
borrowing money for roads. Some
bond buying concern takes from you
few slips Of paper and gives you
$1OO, 900 in return. Every cent of
that 100000 is put right back into
the country and you have the roads
too. In other words you have $780,
600 more money in circulation here
and good roads besides.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING METHODS
GAINING IN POPULARITY N
AUDRAIN COUNTY THIS YEAR

1t was with much interest we an
nouneed last year that w. j. Lock,
owner of Lockland farm, 8 miles
southwest Of this city, was to farm
his entire place under the direct
pervislon of Prof. Doane of the State
Agricultural School, There were mani
doubters then that it would prove
successful but the first year has al
ready proven what can be accomplish
ed along the line set for Mr.. Lock
The plan used was four-year ro-
tation Of crops and he has been so
successful that quite a number OF
those who doubted the success of
Mr., Locks farming have come to
him and stated they intended to fol-
low his lead and in the future do in
tensive farming.
In the six acres he allotted ten
corn cowpeas were drilled i'm at same
time the corn was planted, His corn
was fine Made 40 bu. to the acre
and all during the drouth. Mr.. Lack
states, you couldn't drive team
across the field without them throw
Ing up damp earth. He used the dry.
farming method suggested by the
State Board of Agriculture.
In following this method he first
rolled and narrowed the ground un-
til time to cultivate. He then
cultivated only shallow. He cultivated
1t only four times after each time
dragging it with old wheels until 1t
was in roasting ears. Mr.. Lock
says one man who laughed at him
when he began called the other day,
and said he had changed his mind
after watching his success and never
would he plant corn again unless he
sowed cowpeas with It,
He recently seeded four acres to
rape and rye, after removing the
Sats from the land. The rape is
now foot high, having been sown
last July He has placed upon this
four acres 80 head of hogs, weighing
about 80 pounds. They are shoats of
his own raising. He is keeping a
record of their weight SO as to re-
cord the results when they are
ready for the market.
When he harvests the soy beans
and cowpeas on his place he will
thresh them. One farmer has al
ready contracted for 15 bu. OF COW
peas for seeding purposes. He sowed
10 bu. of cowpeas to the acre and Is
bu. soy beans. Both made fine
crops. His farming is outlined by
Prof. Desne and he follows it close
ly.
II. C. Spaar and o. A. Lindenmey-
er, two well-known and progressive
farmers, are following~. the same
method with success. They started
this year.
