Working Dirt Roads.

There is a great waste Of money on
public highways. Why not use the
common road drag on the country dirt
roads? To allow, as is often done, an
earth road to be cut up in horrible
manner, without the use of the drag
in the proper time, then get hard and
dry, only to be worn down by the feet
of the teams and tires Of the vehicles,
Is certainly the most extravag&nt
naathod that could be pursued. saws Q

WILSON FAvoRS GOOD ROADS
President-Eleet Voices Belief In Wis
dom of National improvement by
Means Of Communicat

President-elect Wilson in many pub
lie addresses has voiced his belief in
the wisdom of national improvement
OF means of communication, and par
ticularly of roads, to which he specih-
cally referred in his address at the
American Road congress at Atlantic
City, on that occasion saying among
other things:
"A nation is bound together by its
means of communication; and its
means of communication create its
thought.
I'VE must more and more engage
the government in providing the gen
eral facilities of the common life.
There is no breach in that of any
of our older understandings of the
functions of government. We have
never doubted that the government
had the right to supply these facilities
which private endeavor has never
been expected to supply. Therefore
we are not upon new ground of
theory; we are merely upon new
ground of tactics.
Inc question OF highways Is one
of the few great instrumentalities of
our public and our communal life with
which the government is of necessity
connected. | see that we must do
what we have been backward in doing
as compared with other nations.
Il tell you frankly my interest in
good roads is not merely an interest
in the pleasure OF riding in automo-
biles. 1t is not merely an interest in
the much more important matter of
affording farmers of this country and
residents in villages means of ready
access to such neighboring markets
as they need for economic benefit, but
it il also the interest in weaving as
complicated and elaborate a net of
neighborhCod and state and national
opinion together as it is possible to
weave 1t is of the most fundamental
importance that the United States
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-06-25

should think in big pieces, should
think together, should think ultimately
as a whole, and feel in my enthusi-
asm for good roads something of the
old opposition that there always has
been in me to any kind of sectional
feeling.
Il believe that it is the proper func-
ton of the government to see to 1t
that the extension of all the varied
modern knowledge, about characters
tics of different soils, ought to be so
extended SO carried everywhere to
the farmer as to build up by the aid
of the government this thing that
feeds us, and ought to continue to feed
the world, and whenever you speak
of that, whenever you increase what
the United States is doing, you must
Immediately increase the facilities OF
the United States for handling what
1t has made after 1t has made it. You
cannot nationally increase the prosper,
ity Of this country, without increasing
the road facilities of this country

Is Changing Rapidly.

"A SISdl CIdllSc has COIilc ONCA
our agriculture in the last fifteen
years. Land both on the prairieS
and on the plain has trebled in
price We can no longer depend
on the great national stock ranges
for feeding steers. More and more
we shall have to grow them on
high priced lands. To do this we
must utilize the stalk of the corn
as we'll as the ear, 100 per cent H.
stead of go per cent. To utilize
this immense waste, we must get
cattle somewhere For while sheep
and horses and even hogs can utiI
ize some fodder, cattle are the only
class of live stock that can utilize
it to any very great extent and to
the best advantage. They are built
that way.
If we can not buy them, we must
grow them To do so we must
grow less corn and more grass. less
grain and more roughage. We must
change our methods of feeding cat
tie; and before we can change our
methods, we must change ourideals
Thirty years ago we raised cattle on
cheap land mainly to market our
corn. About fifteen years ago we
began to feed grain to cattle and
hogs to make beef and pork. From
this on we must grow grass and
roughage, grow cattle on these, and
feed enough corn and other grains
to make our rouehage.fe cattle
marketable.
This will involve a revolution in
farming. 1t means a rotation of
crops, fenced fields, more and better
buildings, less acreage in corn, anC
the use of the full crop instead Of
I60 per cent of it. 1t means more
working capital per quarter section
1t means the employment of hell
by the year. married hired meI
living in separate house on thu
farm. 1t means enrichment of thu
land instead of gradual impoverish
ment. 1t means leases of at leas
five years in length.

A Good Joke.
The Excelsior Springs Journal
tells the following story

The Excelsior Springs Journal
tells the following story
"A good joke is being told on a
Ray county farmer, living east of
town who had sent to Sears & Roe
buck for a wagon, 1t seems that a
short time ago, the farmer was COM
ing to town and just as he started
up a hill one of his horses baked.
the wagon backed and landed in a
ditch. Just then another farmer
came along, saw his predicament
and was appealed to for help in or
der to get his wagon out of the
ditch, Knowing that the wagon
was from Sears & Roebuck, he sug-
gested that they be notified to send
a man to help him get the wagon
out of the ditch, and rode on to
town, leaving the Sears & Roebuck
customer a sweatin' and a cussin'."
