SUPPORT THE
BOND ISSUE!
Bryan, Texas, January II, 1912.

Bryan, Texas, January II, 1912
We, the undersigned citizens and business
men of Bryan desire to make the following state
ment to the farmers and other taxpayers of the
county in regard to the Bond Issue to be voted on
February 9Th, 1912
1st After careful and thorough considera-
ton of the Improvements of the public highways of
the county, we reach the conclusion that the roads
of the county unsatisfactory and not suffi-
Gent to meet the requirements of the people, and
we believe that the present methods of working the
roads are insufficient and too slow. We are there
fore, of the opinion that the only practical solution
of the question is a Bond Issue, and that the sum
of $500, 100000 is as small an amount as the stu
alton and the conditions demand. We further wish
to say to the farmers of the county that if the Bond
Issue prevails and the money becomes available for
the Improvements of the public highways, that we
will use our best influence with the commissioners
court CD to see that the money is economically
and inteigently spent, CD to see that each section
or portion of the county receives its pro rata part of
the funds; III and to further use our best influence
with the court to see that the outlying roads receive
as much attention as those roads that are tributary
to Bryan.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Cultivate Rather Slow Early In
Spring, Increasing the Depth %
tho Season Advances.

CBy PROF. A. NJ. TEN EYCK. Kansas.)
Mellow soil is not 40 good con-
ductor Of heat as frm soil. A thick
mulch Of mellow soil should permit
less heat to enter the soil than thin
mulch. However. the thin mulch may
be as effective covering for retain
ing the heat In the soil az thick
mulch. The results OF the recent soil
temperature studies at the Kansas
station support this statement.
A deep soil mulch is not necessary
for conserving the soil moisture early
in the spring. when the air 10 moist
and the weather relatively cool: hence
the plan to cultivate rather shallow
early In the spring and increase the
depth Of cultivation as the season ad.
vances. because late In the season.
during the hot, dry days Of July and
August, the soil win dry rapidly. and
deeper soil mulch Is required ia
conserve the moisture and prevent the
surface from becoming too hot.
MY Recommendation and practice ID
to cultivate rather shallow early In
the spring. Increasing the depth Of
the cultivation az the season advances.
At the last cultivation when the corn
ID laid by It should be cultivated ~
deeply as possible without destroyins
the main lateral roots OF the corn.
These lie usually about four inches
below the surface. midway between
the rows In surface-planted corn.
The corn roots gradually approach
the surface near the root stock. which
requires that surface-planted corn
should not be cultivated too close to
the hill at the last cultivation. From
the study of corn roots made at the
Kansas experiment station 1t appears
that the roots Of listed corn lie deeper
In the soil than the roots OF surface
planted corn.
