HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION
 TELLS HOW TO MAKE AND
 KEEP DIRT ROADS DRY

Water, plus clay for ordinary earth
 when mixed, invariably forms mud.
 On ordinary earth roads the rains and melting snow furnish the water and the passing traffic the mixing, and the result ism uddy roads. Take away
 the water or prevent it from mixing with the clay earth on the road sur face and little or no mud will result.
 In other words, keep your road dry if you wish it to remain hard, smooth and free from mud.
 Except in very sandy or arid re-
 gions, good drainage is the cardinal principle in the maintenance of earth and gravel roads. Get the water away from the road as quickly and completely as possible. Water nat urally seeks the lowest level. You can not keep the water from falling on the road, but you can assist it's natural inclination to get away to lower level. Keep the ruts filled and
 the road crowned with slope towards
 the side ditahes of from three-fourths
 to one inch to the foot, and the water will not collect on the road to soak in
 and be mike to mud by passing traffic Keep the side ditches clean and with | frequent outlets to get the water away
 from the road entirely. Do not let the culvers dog up or material accu-
 mulate in the ditches, and hold back
 the foundati t of your road Water | is an enemy that will run away if you | will give it a chance. Do not neg
 lect to give every chance. It will pay
 and pay well. Like most other enemies, water is
 not very destructive or dangerous un- til it collects in force. Therefore. get | the water away from your road ot
 every available opportunity and be fore it has time to collect in sutfi
 cient volums to be dangerous to the
 road, and do not invite certain dis
 aster by making your culverts too
 small to care for the largest possible
 storm. Purifier more, build the cul- verts so tn [ the water will, of nec- essity, flow through them and not | find a way qround or beneath them.
 Properly designed substantial wing and end walls are the fertilization which protect the culvert from attack
 and destructi,n during severe storms.
 Do not build dry weather culverts:
 build them with view of caring for
 and protecting the road during the
 worst possible storms.
 | Make your road dry, build it hard
 and compact with crown sufficient
 to shed wat. rapidly to the side dit
 ches, and with ample culverts and
 drains. To keep your road dry
 maintain the drainage in good con dition. Drag your roads after each rain; draggirg fills in the ruts, smooths the surface and maintains | the crown. On road which has
 been properly dragged the rain finds no place to collect and soak into and
 soften the surface. Unless the rain l is of long duration the surface is
 softened but very little. As soon as the rain has ceased and the roa'l surface dried so that the clay is not
 sticky, but while it is still plastic
 drag the road again. Any depres-
 sion, or ruts which have been formed
 during and after the rain are thus

BEGIN SEED CORN SELECTION
 NOW.

The average corn yield of Arkansas could easily be increased five bushels to the acre by the use of good seed. That is worth considerable. Narrower, there is always an unsupplied demand for really good seed corn at $2.00 to $500 per bushel. That, too. is worth considering.

Selecting the Seed Plot.


 select an area of your best corn large enough to produce five or six times as much corn as you desire for seed. If you have small field or patch that Is far enough from other corn to avoid mixing this will be the best for your purpose: but if you haven't this, select the best part of a larger field and detassel a few rows between the seed plot and the main field. his will help to prevent mixing.
 Detassel the Barren Stalks
 Having selected the seed plot. the next thing t) do is to go through it and detassel every defective stalk and every stalk you think is going to be barren. The object of this is to pre- vent these barren and defective stalks from fertilizing your seed ears and thus transmitting to them the faults of the parent stalks.
 Detassel every Other Row.
 The next thing to do is to go through the seed plot and cut the tas- sel out of cyery stalk in every other row. The obJect of this is to prevent selffertilizarion of the seed corn that is, the fertilizing of the shoot by the pollen from the stalk on which it is growing. This self-fertilization of seed corn IS exceedingly injurious. Experiment. which have been made on numerous experiment. stations have shown that Self-fertilized seed corn will not produce near as large a yield as cross-fertiliaed seed corn.
 Select Seed from Detasseled Rows
 This detasseling is all that can be done at the present time. The next and final step in the process is the gathering of the seed corn. Select seed ears only from the detasseled stalks; and select these ears while they are on the stalks, not after they have been removed from the field. You want to now the stalks your seed ears grew on, just as you want to know the parents of your breeding animals. The parantage makes all the difference in the world.
 Select you seed from well formed stalks, and rom these alone. The stalk shoull te strong, taperiny, oval shaped and n edium height, and the ear should ng about it's middle, not down near tfe ground nor up close to the top If you desire to develop a two-eared strain select your seed ears only from the two-eared stelks;

UnbridIed Speculation.

Last weeks securities markets not
only counted profits as already made,
but acted as if such receipts were to be
indefinitely continued. Each day
brought new high prices in the war
group. Maximum gains of o, 10, 10
and even 90 points were of almost daily
occurrence. Toward the end of the
week it appeared that distribution by
insiders was making the market vul--
nerable, and outside purchasing showed
some signs of slackening.
An abrupt setback late Thursday
brought some sense Of proportion to
the market. In addition, the over
swift pace Of the upward movement
led bankers to discriminate against
war stocks as collateral for loans. In
dustrials that huctuate so wildly have
no established price level TO make them
welcomed in loan envelopes. Friday
was ouieter. with considerable selling
to take profits, and Saturday was de-
cidedly dull.
Such dealings as we saw last week
are not unfamiliar on the Stock EX-
change and elsewhere. They mark the
elimination of real estate booms, when
land is purchased regardless OF any
possible future use, the buyer simply
expecting to sell to some one else at
a profit. While the craze is on every one
engaged seems to be making money.
Then the boom collapses and the last
purchaser holds the bag. in stocks
the outsider is generally the last pur-
chaser. Intelligent speculation, based
on insight and knowledge of condi-
tions underlying price movements, has
its uses. Blind purchasing to unload
on the next man brings only trouble.

Fall River, Aug. There was in
creased business in the cotton goods
markets last week, in spite of disin-
clination by manufacturers to sell at
terms offered. Persistence in bidding
by buyers brought out goods and the
total sales last week were the largest
in more than two months. The demand
was largely for contracts to run in the
late months of 1915 and this, coupled
with dissatisfaction by manufacturers
with prices, kept the total down.
Buyers tried to obtain goods at a

RUSSIANS WEAK
ON PARIS B0URSE
Brokers Offer Plan for
General Liquidation to
Stimulate Business.
tBy Cable 10 Tho Tribune.l

Paris, Aug. business on the
Bourse is still exceedingly quiet. with
continually fewer transactions. The
week just ended has brought no marked
modification in the tendency of the
market, except in a decline in Mines
du Nord coal shares and in the Rus
sian group. in which industrials lost
still more ground with the announce
ment of the imminent fall of Warsaw.
Russian government bonds were heavy,
but frmness was shown at other
points, notably in Argentina, Spanish
Exterior and Egyptian bonds, as well
as in the new amortissable rentes Scd
in most French and American railroad
shares. A slight advance was reg
islered in the copper section.
French rentes were firm. the 8 per
cents continuing at So.
A brokers' syndicate met last week
to offer plans to the Minister of FL
nance for a general Bourse liquidation
and to emphasize its Importance to the
renewal Of business confidence and to
future national loans. They suggest
that each house make a deposit to
form an intermediary pool for liquida-
ton, but many judge this scheme to be

commodation is expected TO reach at

gestion that a special tax free bond
issue be put out here at per cent
had the objection in Great Britain that
it might seem unduly 10 favor lenders
abroad as compared with those ut
home. Here, having in mind the un.
satisfactory result of the French bond
Offering. our fnanciers felt that the
public would take only comparatively
small proportion of such obligations.
Since the bankers would have 70
carry the loan, the proposition that It
be on collateral of oUr own securities,
readily salable in our market, seemed
particularly desirable Our bankers
are ready. il is understood, to offer al
most unlimited accommodations upon
such terms. The problem, however. IS
Great Britain's, and IL is for the brlt-
ish government to determine how mucn
of our securities IL can collect and to
make the offer to this side.

Steel Out of Famine Time


Statement of the Steel Corporation
for the second quarter of the year
made good accounts of recovery OF
the steel industry since winter. Each
month gave additional improvement
and earnings at the end of the nall
year were the best since good times OF
two years ago. Last week the corpora
ton was said to be employing SO per
cent of its steel plant facilities. With
continued reports Of good orders and
large total of untitled tonnage at the
end of June, the industry seems well
out of famine into time of feast.
According TO one authority, from one
quarter to one-ffth Of the business OF
large steel producers comes directly or
indirectly from foreign orders placed
here because of the war. Export pros
poets in the steel trade, however. seem
on less ephermeral basis than in most
other lines benefited by needs of the
belligerent powers. The great steel
exporting nations across the water are
the ones now turning their energies
to war and TO supplying the needs of
war. A large industrial section IS
devastated by battle.
Even after peace comes time will be
necessary to restore damaged plants
and TO reassemble and train working
forces. Steel and steel products viii
be needed in the reconstruction that
must follow the ending of hostilities.
Much material is now being used up
that must De replaced whether war
or peace prevails. Railroad equipment.
steel rails and track material are worn
out whether in transportation Of goods
or of troops. The rest of the world,
too. needs steel, and for time, at
least. we must supply It.
Elsewhere business is coming back
less strongly, but still perceptibly. A
wear ago the tide of trade had been
evidently slackening; now 1t is rising.
In few lines has improvement gone so
far as 10 bring out much enthusiasm,
but full employment in filling war
orders means purchasing power that
tells throughout trade. Should no
trouble from without come TO inter
rupt our progress broad expansion of
trade and industry is looked for.
