TIMELY OBSERVATIONS
Made on Auto Trip From Ransom
County, N. D., to Otter Tail Coun-
ty, Minn.-Splendid Roads, Etc.

A Fergus Falls paper prints the
story OF observations made on trip
by automobile from Ransom county,
n. D., to Fergus Falls by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. l.. Robertson .
Crops are good everywhere except
in sections where the soil is poor, but
the farmers say that the grain is not
as thick as it appears in looking across
the fields In the country just north
west of Wahpeton there Is some wheat
that is already ripe, and several bind
ers were at work in wheat fields Mon
day afternoon.
"The roads for sixty miles north and
west of Wahpeton could hardly be i'm
proved upon, especially what is known
as the Meridian road which runs from
Wahpeton to Fargo. 1t is planned to
make the Meridian road a. great ma
t1onal highway, extending from the
Canadian border or beyond to the Gulf
OF Mexico, and those who have had
charge of the movement through the
Wahpeton- Fargo country can well be
proud OF their share of the undertake
ing. Although constructed Of plain,
everyday gumbo-the worst material
in the world for road -making-it is so
we'll rounded, that is sheds the water
and the use of a drag after every rain
keeps 1t almost as smooth and level as
a. paved street. 1t seems little strange
to travel for miles and miles over this
perfect highway apd then run into
Wahpeton and find the main streets
there almost as uneven as a ploWed
field. The only really bad road that
anyone encounters in going westward
is between Fergus Falls and Wahpe-
ton, especially in the country Just
southeast of Foxhome. A Wahpeton
