Another excellent bulletin is Far
mers' Bulletin No. 461, issued by the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton, d. @. This is prepared by the
office of public roads, and is known
as "The Value of Concrete on the
Farm" 1t gives minute information
as to how concrete should be made
and for what purpose it can be used
on the farm. Concrete, when prop
erly made, is one of the most valuable
materials used on the farm; when
not, is absolutely worthless. All these
bulletins can be had free.
The /. FL. @. Company has recently
issued little book of $50 pages,
called "For Better Crops" This can
be obtained by writing to the |. H.
c. Company at Chicago, illinois, and
is worth any mans time to read it
and follow the advice given. There
is one article given by s. Cyril G.
Hopkins, an authority on fertilizers;
another by Hon. W. M. Hays, as
sistant secretary of agricultural, on
Fall grain growing. Joseph e. Wing
has a splendid article on alfalfa
culture. There are other articles of
equal value. One especially strong
one by Prof. Thomas Shaw. The l..
II. G. renders great service to the
farmers by the publishing of these
books filled with valuable information.

for good roads, but we do not believe
the tax payers of this great state are
able to build roads at this expense.
We believe that serious mistake is
made in mounding up roads and
placing thereon narrow hard surface.
A good road should not be raised one
inch above the absolute amount need
ed for necessary drainage, and the
entire road bed should be fiat so that
it can all be used. The way most
of the roads are built, only narrow
strip in the center is available, and
this is soon cut to pieces. 1t must
be remembered also that a combina-
tion road which is suitable for the
growing auto traffic and for the use
of the farmer has not yet been work
ed out. The heavy machines with
their terrible suction practically de-
stroys even hard surfaced roads and
eventually it will require vitrified
brick with porous binder to make a
road which will be suitable and last
ing for the combined use of the auto
mobilist and farmer. The trouble
with the good roads convention is
that there are too many Automobiles
and too few farmers in consultation.
To vote fifteen million dollars Of
bonds in the present condition would
be absurd, and we do not believe the
people of the state will consider it for
one moment.

The government crop report for
October was somewhat more optomis-
tic than has been published for some
months. The copious rains and late
frosts are responsible for the improve
ment in crop conditions. The New
England states have a high average,
exceeding 100 per cent. This was
exceeded only by the Pacific Coast.
Washington having 1898; California
1903; Idaho los and Oregon SO per
cent. Prices are higher In practical
ly every line. Barley is 40 per cent
higher, hay % per cent, oats IL per
cent higher, corn per cent; wheat,
however, was 5 per cent lower,
chickens per cent lower, butter 8
per cent lower, eggs 10 per cent and
cotton per cent lower.

The Ranch office is in receipt OF
some splendid bulletins since our last
issue. One Of these is the "Utiliza-
tion of Logged off Lands for Pasture"
by Byron Hunter and Harold Thomp-
son. This is Bulletin No. 462 and Is
issued by the State Agricultural Col
lege. There is a world of information
in regard to best grasses to be sown.
Another splendid bulletin Is "Sug-
gestions to Settlers on the Sandy
Soils of Columbia River Valley"
This is by Byron Hunter and S. A.
James, and shows the experiments in
cultivating the sandy soils of Eastern
Washington, giving results, showing
best crops to plant, the mode of
cultivation and time of planting.

editorial Notes
Farmers and Good Roads.

The State Good Roads Association
met at Wenatchee since our last issue
and held very enthusiastic meeting.
They indorsed many propositions
which should receive the attention of
the taxpayers of the state. Among
them we're four trunk roads. One
through Snoqualmie Pass from Seattle
to Spokane by way of Ellensburg,
Wenatchee and Waterville; one from
Tacoma around Mount Rainier to
North Yakima; one from Blaine on
the north to Vancouver on the south,
directly across the state; and one in
Southwestern Washington from Puget
Sound to Grays Harbor and Willapa
Harbor. Certainly very ambiti GUS
propositions all of them.
They also Endorsed the movement
asking the legislature for bond issue
of fifteen million dollars which should
not be considered for a moment,
Road building in the state of Wash
ington, and especially on the western
side of the Cascade mountains, is still
in an experimental condition. Those
state roads already built have cost
far too much money and even after
building, the up-keep seems to be ex-
ceedingly expensive. Right through
the White River Valley, from Orillia
to Kent, over perfectly level ground,
four miles of road have been completed
at an enormous cost. How much, is
still impossible to determine, but it
is asserted by those who claim the
figures are correct. that it will be
$40, 900 or $50, 900 mile. This may
not be correct, but we believe it is
approximately true.
When taxpayers realize that roads
are going to cost that much money
they will rise up in their wrath. This
road was built under the state aid
road law and it was generally believ-
ed that the road would be built for
So, 600 per mile.

experimental stations was reported
on by chairman, Mr.. j. D. Dean, who
reported that Superintendent Sparks
was arranging to establish two in King
county.

Edward Kendall, called professor

entertaining guest on the veranda of
his house. whereof be had been the

The house was his pride. 1t was the

OF rigid economy. It contained his labo-
ratory, where he worked cheerfully
with the infinite patience Of the scien-
fist. He dreamed that it would some
day be home.
The visitor was from the neighboring
city of Detroit. His clothes were prob
ably the most expensive ever seen up
on a man within the corporate limits
Of the town Of Allendale, and his talk
was all Of money for Kendall

The professors rejoinder was check

who came in by the gate and up to the
steps OF the veranda. She paused at
the top, perceiying then that Redfield
was a stranger.

President of Federated Com
mercial Clubs Meets With
Executive Committee.

Captain II. S. Norton of Cary. presi-
dent of the Indiana Federated Com
mercial clubs. returned from Indiana
polls this morning, where he had been
in session with the executive board on
matter pertaining to probable legisla-
ton
..mong the things that were discuss
ed We're the commission form of gov
eminent. the registration law, the
Fleming good roads law, and the Proc
tor and Fleming liquor bills.
On the commission form of govern
ment the consensus of opinion was that
1t should be modified by adopting the
recall. The board endorsed the pro-
posed registration law and gave the
preference in the liquor legislation to
the Proctor bill over the Fleming bill
because the Proctor bill would limit the
number of saloons to one for every
thousand Inhabitants, while the Flem-
ing bill is more Liberal allowing one
saloon to every five hundred inhabi-
tants. The board endorsed the Elem
ing good roads bill
The session was held in the CONNER
cial club rooms of Indianapolis, and an
effort will be made to have members
of the Federated Commercial clubs go
to indianapolis and do what they can
to procure legislation as endorsed by
the executive committee
