Road Work Progressing

Good road work is progressing all
oyer the county. Some work has
been done on systematic lines in about
all townships on main roadways. 1t
is hoped and expected that after the
main roads are graded up, the work
will be continued upon the most
important side roads. The only
complaint made upon the road work
is the statement that in some places
the grade is not sufficiently smoothed
off. The finish of the road s just as
important as the grade itself.

Deep Roots or Shallow

The growth of trees in South Da
kota furnish an important lesson
to all who wish to observe. In this
climate of somewhat uncertain rain
fall two varieties of trees have been
generally planted. The one most
largely used is the cottonwood, the
roots of which spread along the sur
face in shallow ground. AS every
one knows the cottonwood tree has
a hard struggle to live without arti-
ticlal watering.
The next variety most in use is
the ash tree. which has a deep tap
root that goes way down into the
ground. AS also well known the
ash will live and thrive where the
cottonwood dies.
The same principle is applicable to
the growing of crops. The plant
which has the best chance of sue
cessfully combating dry spells is of
curse the deep root plant. 1t NAV
not always succeed, of course, but
common ems suggests its advan-
tage over the shallow root plant.
The growing of wheat and alfalfa
may be hkened to the growing of
cottonwood and ash trees. Wheat
is a very shallow root crop, and must
have its surface moisture at regular
intervals. 1t will even be adversely
affected at times from a dry surface
while there is still moisture down
deep in the ground. On the other
hand alfalfa, and corn also to a less
extent, will go down deeper after
the moisture.
OF course it is evident that there
will be some wheat grown here for
years. or until the soil refuses to
produce it any longer. but, If we
could make the growing of deeper
root crops the main industry. the
loss Of a wheat crop would be of
much less Importance than it has
been in other years. And the re-.
duced acreage devoted to wheat
would likewise mean that only the
very best ground would be used for
that purpose. Every man knows
that this would greatly increase the
average yield per acre. because it is
the common custom on nearly every
farm to put in some corn ground, or
other good tract suitable for wheat.
and then sow another piece or two
which the farmer knows is not suit
able-just to take a chance. True,
once IN awhile weather conditions
may be so favorable that he gets a
fair crop on the poorer ground, but
the rule is a poor yield which cuts
down his average. 1t is a specula-
ton, and a very uncertain n which
the average man cannot afford to
take.

ALLIES DRIVEN BACK
BY THE GERMAN ARMY
Belgium Now Practically in Possession of
the Germans
War Summary

Out of the tangled mess of a brief
detail here and there, and a lot of
inconsequential stuff, one fact ap-
pears in the past weeks war news.
viz:-the German army is slowly. but
surely, pounding it's way forward,
despite the combined Belgian, French
and British opposition Every day
reports the capture of one or more
towns, and retreat of the allies.
So far no great decisive victory
has been won bv either side. Dur
ing the first two weeks The allies
were claiming everything. with the
aid of their news bureaus But a
reading between the lines, and their
half admissions during the past day
or two, indicates that they are I'M
able to stop the German advance,
either in Belgium or Alsace. Lorraine
Choice of War News

which GERMANY recovered in the

If the news comes from Belgium,
why the Belgium troops are holding

thousands of Germans, stopping the
German advance. and making it al
most unnecessary for the British Or
