ADD ROAD ACRES TO FARMS.
Governor of Kansas Has a Plan to
Grant Strips of Highways


A law which would add thousand:
of acres, now lying idle at the road
sides, to the farms of Kansas, will
be advocated by Governor Hold
ges at the next legislature. The law
would make the standard county road
twenty -four feet wide. At present
the most of the roads are sixty or
more feet wide; not more than TWEEN
ty-four feet are used. The propos-
ed measure would grant strip
along each side TO the adjoining
farm
Governor Hodges talked of the plan
to a reporter: THE edges OF most
of the roads as now constructed are
waste" he said 1.-THE grading usu-
ally stops about ten feet from the
fence line, leaving room for a good
city side walk on either side which is
never needed nor used. Tall weeds
grow there, and it makes room for
uncut hedges. A trim road twenty
four feet wide, finished from fence
to fence, would be easier to care for
and better looking and it would an
swer every purpose of the present
roads. The longest motor ear could
turn around in it, and the largest
oads of hay could pass.
"And in the aggregate, large areas
would be turned to use. In farming,
is in other business, it is these mar
rims that make the bulk of the prof
ts.'

Lets read that again; Strive to know

Now let's think about it for a week
and see what heap Of good the sim
pie little sentence contains.
Why do we do as we do instead Of
doing otherwise? Why are we per-
forming all the multitudinous tasks
about the farm and home in just the
way we perform them? If we can't
give a clear, concise explanation for
our actions we pillow in certain

Why do we plow? When we have
enumerated all the reasons for this
first FARMING operation, we will be
better prepared to say whether we
shall pillow in the fall or the spring;
pillow deeply or shallow; with disk
or mould board; when the soil is
wet or dry. Why do we harrow?
This is easy-the answer to the ques-
ton, / mean, and not the narrowing
operation; but if we look hard for
all the reasons we may find that some
form of narrowing might be used
more frequently than is the case.
Why do we use the roller? To crush
the clods, of course, To crush clods
is right, but that is only one reason
and not always the most important |
one. If we know that rolling fresh 1
plowed land will bring the moisture 1
to the surface and thereby hasten
the termination Of the shallow plant /
ed seeds, we will often use the roller
when there are no clods to crush.
We should know, however, that the
roller, unless followed by the har-
row or similar implement, causes
and to dry more quickly than unroll-
ID land, and why it does so.
Why do we plant seeds of certain

so as TO be able to supply them TO

FREIGHT BOOM

Chicago, July 2.-Ocean freight room
said to amount to 150 boatloads put
strength today in wheat. The market
ssd1hc. Corn showed gain of B@1Ac,
and oats rise of zc to &@7sc. In pro-
visions the finish was 10aS0c above last
night.
Just after an easy going start the wheat
bulls were aroused by signs of prepara-
tion for exports on a large scale. First
reports had 1t that because of the serious
aspect of the Balkan troubles vessel room
for 70 boatloads had been taken at New
York. This later was declared to be a
purely speculative purchase, but subse-
ouent developments did not fully bear
out the assertion, and there were still
later reports that the total of engage
ments as given out early afterwand had
been more than doubled. Gossip was cur
rent also of actual export sales by way of
the gulf. Unfavorable crop advices from
the northwest helped to sustain prices in
the late dealings.
Officials here estimated the total do
mestic wheat yield at 100000 bushels.
against 73O,000,00O for 1912. Seaboard
clearance of wheat and flour equalled
ass, 900 bushels. Primary receipts of
wheat were 9,OOO bushels, year ago 2S4,
600 bushels.
Improved industrial and shipping de-
mand lifted corn despite splendid weather
and favorable crop news. Shorts covered
at disadvantage after finding the mar
ket bare of offers. Bears in oats were
handicapped by story that the European
crop practically was failure.
The monthly statement regarding the
stock of provisions here was construed as
bullish and active buying swept prices
upward.
Foreigners and packers evinced special
eagerness for lard.

to be somewhat sAort. The demand for
hens is not so brisk as is the demand on

is good at that. The market is well
supplied with eggs and the demand il
quite brisk.
Business IN the grain market continues
good. There is no change in quotations,
however, but prices are firm.
The meat market is very active just
now and prices are decidedly on the up
grade. A rise of 10 points was noted yes

COTTON PRICES ARE
WELL MAINTAINED
Good UndertOne in New
Orleans With Net Rise
of 6 to 10 Points

New Orleans, July 2.-The cotton
market had good undertone today
and prices were steadily maintained
at moderate advance. Trading was
light in volume and it was plain that
the bureau reports tomorrow, the ap-
preaching holidays and the agitation
caused by the Clark amendment to the
tariff bill before Congress, putting a
tax on cotton futures, served to re-
strict business. The advance was based
more on private bureau report on con-
dition, showing a gain during June or
only a of point than on anything
else. Weather and crop reports We're
favorable but caused little selling.
The opening was steady at rise of
6 to IL points on good cables, which
private messages said were due to the
private condition report mentioned
above. At no time during the day was
there much of any selling power In
evidence and a moderate demand served
to absorb the scattered offerings. In
the afternoon the market was Its high

steady at a net rise of 6 to 10 points.

Foreign Markets
Depressed

New York, July 2.-The dullness OF
midsummer settled ever the stock market
today and such traces of speculative in
terest as had survived the last few days
of increasing inertia seemed to have been
completely erased. Price movements were
nominal. The market was characterized
by firm undertone. although at tse
opening and again at the close. there
was slight yielding tendency.
Sentiment was inclined to be more
cheerful. Crop reports. which are receiV-
ing more attention with the advent of
July were s5Mewnat more favorable, al
though fears were felt of further damage
from heat in the southwest. Money mar
ket conditions improved. More important
than either of these considerations, as an
immediate influence We're indications of
the strong technical position of the mar
ket. There was keen borrowing de
mard for leading stocks especially Union
Pacific, which pointed to an oyersold con-
dition. Short covering was rendered diff
cult by the small offerings in sight around
the present level of quotations Operators
were inclined to favor the long side of
the market, but trading was on too small
a scale to bring about a marked response
in price movements. Changes exceeding
small fractions were Nnited principally
Guiding the petroleum stocks, rose

Foreign markets were depressed by dis
turbances in the Balkans, and heaviness
of the home market at the opening, which
was most noticeable in Union Pacific ard
Canadian Pacific ~as associated with the
decline in Americans abroad. There was
some selling here for foreign account but
the total was comparatively small. and

COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES QUIET
Prices Higher Owing to a
Rather More Bullish
View

New York. July 2.-The cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet again to-
day but prices were higher owing to
rather more bullish view as to the
probable showing of the official con-
dition report tomorrow and more or
less nervousness over the boil weevil
situation. The close was steady and
from to 10 points above the final fig
ures of yesterday.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of to 13 points in response to
higher cables than expected and pri-
yate crop report making the condition
500 against a report by the same au-
thority of S05 last month and the gov
ernments condition report of SO.4 per
cent last year. Private cables fndi-
Gated that the Liverpool market had
been influenced by the private crop
and there was. quite an active cover
ing movement in the local market on
which prices sold about 13 to 16 points
net higher during the early trading.
Realizing by recent buyers circulated
the advance around this level and the
market later was comparatively quiet
with closing prices showing reactions
of few points from the best.
Reports received from New Orleans
| today stated that the boil weevil had
| appeared in Oklahoma at about the
northwestern limit of previous boil
weevil invasion and further reports
were received regarding the presence
of the pest in other sections of the
| belt
| Local traders appeared to find lit
| tie fault with prevailing weather con-
ditions but between the lower private
condition figures and the boil weevil
news there was certainly some ner-
| vousness over the new crop outlook

ket reiterated earlier week rumors thai
1000 bales were to be shipped from
