Road Building

The supervisor of the Ozark
National Forest at Harrison.
Ark. has just been authorized by
the district fQrestes;at Washing
ton, D.\C. to start immediate
construction of me miles of
road 10 that portion Of the Ozark
forest lying in Pope county.
The road to be improved is to be
joined thru Dover to the rs mile
macadam highway from Russell
vile thru Dover, Scottsville and
Hector to be built by an i'm
provement district for which
500, 600 contract has already
been let.
The nine mile stretch which
the forest service is now to build
is link in the highway planned
from Russellville to Harrison
and will extend from near Owen
Ford on Big Piney or elk to the
J. M. Newton place on the head
of Moccasin creek. From there,
as funds become available from
year to year, the road will be eX-
tended to the crest of Freeman
Mountain upon which a road
now extends northward into
Newton county, leading to Jas
per, the county seat.
The work of the forest SER
vice will be to reduce the grade
of the present road from Is and
20 per cent to an average of Z
per cent, provide bitches and
culverts, and make a smooth
firm earth surface. The work
will be an example in the proper
construction of a good earth
road.
The funds with which the con-
struction will be accomplished
are derived from National For
est revenues. coming mainly
from the sale of mature timber
that is removed to improve the
stand by making room for the
younger trees in which to devel-
op. The settlers are lending
staunch support to the work of
the forest service and will
donate their services literally in
the construction and lend every
possible aid in the good road
movement.

YOUR SEED .
COTTON THIS FALL
Be Sure to Secure Good Strain by
Getting a Variety That Has Proved
Its Ability to Give Good Yields.

To succeed with a crop, the grower
must use the best methods of tillage
and fertilization, and in order to OBJ
tain maximum results from tillage
and fertilization, he must use i'm
proved farm seed. BY using improved
cotton seed, selected from a variety
known to do well in a given locality,
the grower may increase his cotton
yield per acre even though the acre
age has been cut down.
Secure Good Strain.
No one variety of cotton Is best for
all soils and all climatic conditions.
No single variety has maintained
first place year after year at any ex-
pertinent station. Select a variety Of
cotton that will give a high yield Of
lint per acre, win set fruit early and
mature early, one that has good
length of fiber, one that has medium
to large boils, one that will hold the
lint in the burr, and ono that. provid-
ed the cotton does not fall out, Is easy
to pick. Whatever variety is used, II
no method Of selection Is followed,
your cotton will become poorer each
year. II a good strain of cotton is OBJ
tanned. selection must be practiced in
order to hold 1t up to maximum
yields.
Select Your Plants.
The farmer should, during the
L.
pick out the vigorous plants here and
there tagging them so that these
plants may be easily located a,
the time Of picking. When Sc
lectins plants. keep the following
qualities in mind: High yield Of lint
per acre, early setting of fruit and
early maturity. long fiber with view
Of better price per pound, medium
to large bolls to facilitate picking
ability to hold cotton in the burr in
spite Of wind and rain. ease Of pick
ing and trueness to type.
With a sack and a reliable picker
the grower should go into the field
just ahead Of the regular pickers ant

plants. Pick the cotton from the
lower two-thirds Of the plant, and pick
enough to furnish seed sufficient fol
the next years crop.
Avoid Admixture Of Seed.
When the selected cotton IL gin
ned, be sure that the gin rolls are
thoroughly cleaned. Do not let the
seed pass through the chute. but allow
them to fall out onto the floor il
front of the gin, by this means insur
ing no admiXture Of seed. II Is i'm
possible to blow out all the seed from
the chutes through which the gin-ruI
seed pass.
Lastly, store these seed in q dry
place. Experiments show that seed
are not injured when stored in small

robbed of all he made by excess
sive profits? The city churches
and schools are of but little
value to the farmer The farm
ers do not attend the city
churches for several reasons.
First, because they live too far
from them. Second, they are
too tired when Sunday comes.
Third, thew havn't clothes
enough to keep them from being
embarrassed. Fourth, they do
not find congenial company.
Their children are not found in.
the city schools because they are.
needed to make living; their
parents are too poor to buy
clothes, books, etc. According
to the industrial relations COM
mittees report that economic
pressure forces two-thirds of all
the children to leave grammar
school before graduating, and
only 10 per cent finish high
school. This report states fur
ther that labor and living condi-
tons in this country are such
today that immigrants only come
from Italy, Russia, and other
backward nations of Europe.
Mr.. Moore says that land will
depreciate in value if we do not
trade at home. That would be q
good thing for farmers. Per-
haps rent would come down a
little. perhaps a few farmers
could rake up enough to buy a
small farm; if farms would de,
preciate in value. The way
land is selling at present, farm
tenancy and land lordism is in.
creasing at an appalling rate.
We are informed that sixteen
holders own 1880, 600 acres.
The secretary of agriculture
shows that only one per cent of
the cultivatable farm land in the
country is in holdings of nine
teen acres or less while one-fifth
of this land is held in tracts of
one thousand to several million
acres. 1t is evident from this
that the farmer is being greatly
exploited. Mr.. Moore's utter
