plLLER GOOD ROADS

Probably one of the best plans for
building roads in the state of Ne
braska has been instituted by the
business mems association of Diller.
The commercial club and business
men of Diller considered 1t as much
to their advantage and interest to
have good roads in and around Dill
Ter as it was to the farmers of the
community.
In accordance with this idea they
Joined hands with each other and
with the farmers and originated a
plan that should be of interest to
every nan in Nebraska.
They invited the farmers of the
neighboring townships in to one of
their meetings and organized a good
roads association. not only to spend
money derived by taxes, but to sub
scribe real cash to do the work with
knowing that the sooner permanent
roads were constructed the sooner
those same taxes would end.
To further this scheme they sell
ccted a committee consisting of bu-
inesss men and farmers to inspect
the roads and decide what work
should be done.
In the meeting they decided that
il would be much better 10 build a
little at a time, and insist that it be
done we'll. Carrying out this idea
they insisted that the grades and
fills be high and broad, and that the
culyerts and drains be made of ma
terial hat would last.
Last year they planned to build
four miles of road. They divided
their workmen into four groups, Civ
ing each group a mile of road to
construct. Offering to the group
who made the best mile of road a
cash prize.
Before starting the work the com
mittee went over these four miles
o. road, decided just what should be
done located places for culyerts, their
sizes, and kind of material to be
used, using mostly vitrified glazed
%culvert pipe. They specified from
these ~culverts drains, and did not
the water remain on the side of
the road.
At the end of the season they had
a banquet and awarded 1.-THE prize to
the best road workers. These ban
quets and prizes stirred up a pride
and interest in every person in the
community and today every person
in this district is an enthusiast on
the subject of good roads.
At a joint smoker held last month
they decided to build seven miles
of road this year, it is needless to
say however, that it is not neces-
sary to offer prizes this year. The
intense interest will take care of
that, and from now on every indi-
cation shows that Diller will be a
center of good roads.
It seems that Diller has arrived at
a definite solution of the good roads
question, for it is true that enough
money has been spent on the roads
of Nebraska to have good roads, but
taking it as a whole, there are real
ly very few well constructed and per-
m%anently built roads in the state.

There is some justice in the plea,
from the south end, for a school
building. 1t must be admitted that
for ears the south side has been
Disseminated against. The churches
have been largely ignoring the peo-
pie on the south side and building
in the north end. Improvements of
every kind have had a tendency to
locate "up north" because the pull
was there. Money talks and it has
o right to. But the south side has
its claims upon you, which cannot
fairly be ignored. The south side
needs the presence of the uplifting
Of schools and churches. Men of
means in Falls City have here an
open door for the doing of real
service to the children, especially, of
the south side, by seeing that they
are provided with the requisites for
mental and soul growth.

THE BOTTOM HAY LAND

Until the ditching problem now
under construction is finished and is
proven a success, there will be
thousands of acres of hayland in
the Nemaha bottom whose chief yak
lie will be in the wild hay this land
produces. The wise man has said
and several thousand "a ago,
that everything under heaven has
its time
There is a very simple thing in
the use of the hayland ON which so
much depends. We refer to the
time of burning the meadows. Co
burn of Kansas has again and again
advised the farmers that if the al
falfa does not do well, NOV it, and
what the mower is to alfalfa, fire i
10 wild grass. 1t is however of
Importance that the fire is used in
the right time. To burn your mead
CIV in the fall means very poor grass
and many weeds. No meadow
should be burned before the month of
May. Give the weeds a good start,
select a dry day and the warmest
part of the day to burn your meadaw.
You will kill your weeds, but fire in
the spring of the year means health
to the grass. Grass should be cut
early enough in the fall to permit it
to get a good growth before winter
and that will be enough to burn in
the spring.
There is considerable complaint
that bottom grass grows so rank and
lecomes so coarse; this can be en-
tirely overcome by late burning of
the hayland. If the owners of
these bottoms will let some of the
land lay till about June and hen
select a dry day to burn, they will
be surprised how fine and also how
free from weeds their hay will be.
There is one danger to guard
against and that is that it is liza
BILE to get too green and weedy and
will not burn. In any cast wait as
long as you can, give the weeds a
start and kill them and you can very
much improve your hay crop.

With realities that we do not find

The life giving oxygen, breathed

the country boy much greater lung
power than is developed in the city

build up n robust constitution. Plow-
ing, hoeing, moving, everything he
does on the farm gives vigor and
strength. Ills muscles are harder.

partakes of the same superior quail

forces, storing up energy in his

larger than at any time before in its
history. OF this much we arc GER
