MAINE ORANGES.
Asked to Assist In Securing Better
Seed For Maine Farms.

The chief of the agronomy depart
ment of the University of Maine is
asking the assistance of the oranges
in that state in his efforts to secure
better seed and consequently larger ce
real crops. In circular letter to the
oranges Professor ii. G.. Bell asks that
each grange forward to him the ten
best ears of corn that have been grown
in the vicinity of the grange during
the past summer and also the best
peck of oats produced in the same To-
cality. The agronomy department is
putting in a system of demonstration
plots on the university farm and in
this system wishes to plant individual
plots of oats and of corn which have
been forwarded by different oranges.
During the summer the plots will
be growing side by side. clearly label
ed so that it will be possible for Wis
iting grangers to compare the prod
uctS of their seed with that of Their
neighbor oranges. In the autumn the
crops will be carefully harvested and
careful records taken of the yield and
quality. A copy of the complete re
port will be forwarded to each grange
and we feel sure will be of sufficient
importance to claim the grangers' at
tention at their seed meeting.

A STRIKING Example.

What does a good road mean to a
rural school? What does good road
mean to a rural community socially?
A certain township in southeast Kan
sas saw fit to construct two miles of
rock road. from a small town south
through a rural school district. Six
children of school age lived on farms
adjacent TO the rock road. six on
the same length of earth road in the
west part of the school district. The
earth road was in poor condition most
of the time, says the X. S. A. C. In
dustrialist.
The children on the good road went
to city schools, walking most of the
time. The children on the almost i'm
passable earth road went to rural
school.
Two of the children living on the
rock road are now sophomores in agri-
cultural colleges, two are seniors in
high school, and two are freshmen in
high school.
Two children living adjacent to the
earth road finished the rural school.
Now they are hardly averase farmers.
Four became discouraged and quit the
rural school before they were gradu-
ated. They are day laborers in near
by town.
1t hardly seems possible that
stretch OF two to four miles of poor
road would make a difference in ones
fife. does It? But it did. =

Five miles north of Everett lies the
thrilling little city of Marysville with a
population of fifteen hundred inside the
city limits. There is no more beautiful
spot for a townsite in Snohomish county
than this. Bounded on the east. north
and west by growths of evergreens. on
the south by the tSnohomish river it
presents pretty picture to the eye.
The townsite itself is as level as the
proverbial barn floor.
Lumber and shingles are the prevail
ing industries. Two logging railroads
terminate there and have booming ia
cilities on the river while great booms
of single bolts and logs are brought
down the river itself and in from the
sound.
The land adjacent to Marysville is es-
pecially adapted to the raising of small
fruit and many small berry farms will
take the place of the stumps. One would
be surprised now could they see the
fruit that is grown in and around the
town but still more surprised few
years hence.
Modern conveniences that spell com
fort are not lacking in Marysville.
Graded streets, cement sidewalks and
electric lights. A municipal water sup
ply is one of the projects under con
sideration that will doubtless become
reality in the near future.
The high school building erected some
little time ago has been found made
quate to take care of the pupils and
more room will have to be provided for.
1t is estimated that more money is
spent proportionately for education
than in any other district in Snohomish
county. Over four hundred pupils are
enrolled in the public schools and a
corps of fourteen teachers is employed
In educational facilities, social advan-
tages, opportunities for comfortable
livelihood, Marysville offers exceptional
advantages. The thrifty, home LOVING
body need go no farther to find his
permanent abode than the charming lit
tie city of Marysville.

The use of the automobile in Texas
has caused demand for better roads.
1t has taught the farmers to see the
saving in having good roads and road
improvement, and road building is go
ing on in nearly every community.
Texas will have one of the longest
automobile roads in the United States
when few unfinished links are COM
pleted. This road will extend from
Houston to Brownsville by the way Of
Corpus Christi, Kingsville and inter
mediate points. Connecting with this
at Corpus Christi will be another road
to San Antonio. This will be completed

STRAW ASFACTOR
IN ROAD Bull DING
Found TO Give Best Results
When Mixed With Soil.
CAN SUPPORT HEAVIER LOADS.

Though This New Method Costs More,
1t Makes a Road That Will Outla3t
Gravel ard Cnders-Straw to Play
an Important Part In the Good
Roads Movement
Wheat straw will play an important
rart in many miles of new good roads
which will soon be built in this coun-
try. Straw has been used for years on
roads in washington. 1t has been
found to give the best results when put
on wet and mixed with the soil. When
scattered loosely on the road it ignites
and the work of weeks is lost
The newer plans are better yet for
place. the roads will be plowed and
graded and brought to a crown. When
the roadbed has been narrowed and
mac" level the straw is put on to
deDth of six inches. A disk cutter is
used to cut the straw up and mix it
into the earth. If all the straw works
into the rOadbed more straw is put
on until Il cushion is formed A steam
roller packs the earth and straw into
a hard mat as durable as asphalt and
q road which will turn off water if the
grade is right
The new method of mixing the straw
with the soil costs more than that of
throwing straw into the ruts and
makes road that will outlast gravel
and cinders, Gravel is expensive. and
the cost of hauling is heavy. In all the
lowlandS and uplands in this country
straw will be used with the clay soil
For 500 mile year the state high
way commission of Minnesota can
take the most sandy road in the state
and turn it into a highway which can
he worked with n road grader. by the
use of straw, sawdust or clover. which
ever is the most convenient. 1t has
been doing this in various parts of the
state for the last few years. paying
for the improved roads from the eX-
penSe fund of the commission. but it
will ask the legislature for more mon
ey to extend this work to other parts
of the state and will extend it just as
far as the legislature sees fit to permit
it by the limit on the appropriation.
Near Cambridge. Mimi. an expert
mental road was made with sawdust
several years ago. but the supply at
the local sawmill gave out, and straw
was used during the past season and
with better results. The straw works
into the sand. forming n vegetable
loan which can be handled by the
road grader and will also support
heavier loads than are possible with
the sand in its natural condition.
G. w. Cooley. state engineer, also
has shown the people what can be ac-
complished by constant watch of the
roads, as is done in foreign countries,
by maintaining a man on a stretch of
road all the time. Last season road
six miles south Of saltwater. Mimi,
was under experiment. The year be-
fore Il road leading from st. Paul into
Dakota county was watched. For SO
a mile for the season these or other
roads can be kept in such condition
that they may be used every day dur
ing the experiment
