Flows your CROP" asked a BEACON
man of Mr.. Dale Bell. who was in towr
recently, and who has the reputation
of being the best cotton farmer in the
county. "The sorriest | have ever
raised" was his reply. "Why, we
have been told by a mar who says he
has seen your crop, that you have the
best crop he has seer in the county
that you have cotton that will make
three-quarters of a bale to the
acre." ''Oh well, l have got some
that will make it. but its a piece of
land where I planted some peas last
year and, turned them under, and you
can tell the difference to the row.

Oiled RO0SS.

To the Editor Of the Beacon.
Find enclosed a clipping from
the Breeders Gazette of June 10th,
1915. This suggestion to oil the
dit roads seems to me an excel
leot one. The country dirt roads
in Illinois are less easily kept in
good condition than our clay roads
on the prairies. If oil solves the
problem on the loOmy soil in Hi
nOis it should more easily solve the
problem on the clay soils of the
prairie country in Mississippi.
The oiling of roads has passed the
experimental stage! / have heard
many people who have seen oil us.
ed, comment forciably upon its
efficiency and cheapness. Perhaps
our Noxubee county officials could
be encouraged to try a mile or
more of oiled road. H. C. w.
"Many small towns of Illinois
furnish splendid demonstrations
of what crude oil will do On dirt
roads. In some other States oil.
ing roads is an older practice. In
Illinois the custom dates back only
a few years, and is confined main.
ly to village and city streets.
The results have been very salts.
factory. The primary object of
oiling has been to abate the dust
nuisance. This has been accom-
plished and there has also been a
great improvement in road surface
both in dry and wet weather.
"The usual custom has been to
grade up the road nicely and then
sprinkle on the oil sufficiently
thick to make a pasty mass of the
surface. In some cases this is then
brushed or narrowed or dragged
to mix soil and oil more quickly
than would be done by traffic
alone. With 4 gallons Of Scent
oil per running foot of roadway
the total cost of oil and applica-
tion comes within 800 per mile,
which is only a small fraction of
the cost of a hard road. The oil.
ed road sheds water so well that
even after deluges of rain there is
only a shallow mark made by a
passing vehicle. Roads that form.
erly were ground into deep dust
during a drouth stay firm and
smooth when oiled. Even paved
streets are oiled in some instances
because this is considered cheaper
and better than sprinkling with
water. Water dries away quick,
ly; oil stays on guard over the
dust.
"Now that some farmers have
oiled the roadway in front of their
homes the passing traveller gets a
clear contrast between the treated
and ~untreated black diyt road.
With hard roads n" ,sec4 Gop
pense, there Is1f1lLH9 Com 1t by
farmers in favor of oiling. They
feel that money in oil would cover
ten times as much road as in con.
crete, so that they wonld get an
appreciable measure of benefit
from it during their lifetimes."

OUR JUNIOR SENATOR AS
AN INTERVIEW ARTIST.

pB1NttNN'
He is an unusually, successful
advertiser of himself and as a
medium for reaching the public
he prefers live newspaper COL
umns and in that shows more
wisdom than he does in his reck-
less, ~senseless criticism of others.
His advertising copy" gen.
orally, is in the shape of a per-
sonal interview, and the inter
views he gives out all bear a
striking similitude.
They are all alike and each
clearly indicates the authorship
by its political learning and by
its perfect innocence Of anything
like suggestion for the good Of
the country, and his party, on
any line of constructive states
manship.
He is on the order of a destroy
ing angel, pure and simple,
With characteristic complacen-
cy he will in one breath damn
the President with faint praise
for intellectual gifts and scholar
ly attainments and high patriotic
purpose; and in the next will al
lude to him in terms of denuncia-
ton as though Mr.. Wilson was
an accursed object-a fit subject
to denounce as :anathema mara
natha.
Mr.. Vardaman's latest public
utterance for home consumption
was sent out late last week. II
is an out-burst of criticism, IL

Bilbo, by base misrepresentation

To hear our Junior Senator is
to see that he stands on section
alism and never on anything
which means the real uplift of
the South and the betterment OF
conditions of the people the coun-
try over.
This he must do in order tC
successfully appeal to the prejud-
ices of his constituents, and per
suade them-he is a watchmar

"
No matter what the conditions
may be or what the prospect anC
promise for the future, he tells 6
tale of woe and breaches agospe
of discomfort that can serve M
noble end.
His sole purpose and object il
his recent interview seems to bt
to persuade the people of thu
South that President Wilson pas

COUNTY COURT WILL MAKE SURVEYS
ASKED FOR BY COMMITTEE At WORK
FOR PERMANENT ROADS BY BONDING

BY action taken at a special meet
ing held yesterday afternoon the
county court granted the request of
the executive committee of the Una
tilla County Good Roads Association
Tor preliminary survey to show the
most feasible routes and the cost Of
grading roads planned for improve
ment under the county bonding plan.
The roads to be surveyed include
road from Pendleton to Umatilla;
a road from Pendleton to Cold
Springs landing; a road from Athena
connecting with the Cold Springs
road and the road from Pendleton to
Pilot Rock. The road from Milton
to the Walla Walla- -Wallula road will
not be surveyed owing to the stato-
ment Of Commissioner Coekburn that
the route Is over level country and u
survey Is not necessary as the present
roads may be followed.
In granting the request for the sur
yey work the court took the position
that the roads In question are all main
trunk roads and that II Is desirable

where they may be improved regard

May term OF court more definite ac-
tion will be taken towards having the
survey work done. 1t Is expected to
have the work undertaken in the near
future and the task will require a
month or two for completion.

250O-Other Heavy Losses.

As more accurate reports come In
from the sheep camps 1t Is becoming
apparent that the sheep loss from the
cold wind and rain Thursday was one
Of the heaviest in this county in re-
cent years. Flockmasters who yester-
day were unable to give any clear es-
innate of their losses owing to their
bands being scattered, are today ad-
mitting that more Of their ewes and
lambs died from the chilling storm
than they at first thought
stanfIeld Bros, in the west end OF
the county lost one entire band, ac-
cording to Gerald Stanfield, the herd
er returning to camp with nothing
but his dogs. Sheep have little cour-
age and give up easily, the sheepmen
say, and Thursday when they realized
the nature Of the storm, the animals
laid down and could not be moved.
Once down, the animals become chilli
ed in a few moments, having been de-
priyed of their heavy fleece only a
few days before. Some were hauled
in wagons but perished in spite OF
this.
Stanfield Bros. estimate their total
loss at $500. Joe Cunha OF Echo
states that he lost 100 ewes which
means that his total loss will be over
1000. as the lambs, deprived Of their
mothers milk, soon die. You
might as well knock them in the
head" said one sheepman yesterday.
The loss Of Joe Monese Of Echo, Is
reported to be 1000 yearlings He
did not lose any lambs. The loss OF
William Slusher Is figured at 700.
while Frank Sloan of Stanfield and
J. E. Smith & Co. of Barnhart lost
several hundred. Sloan will try to
save his lambs by putting them on all
falfa but old sheepmen declare lambs
as young as his cannot live without
milk. For a man with many cows.
a great opportunity IS presented by
the present situation.
Manuel Pedro has two bands Of
sheep in the mountains where the
snow is IA inches deep and still fall
ing. Local sheepmen declare 1t will
be remarkable if he does not lose
most Of them. However, Alfred Smith
declares the reports from their bands
near Meacham show that their noun
tain bands came through the storm
much better than those in the flats,
There was some shelter from the wind
in the mountains and the sheep were
sheared earlier too. In the flats thu
wind got a good sweep and those
sheep that could not find shelter
were soon chilled, especially those
just shorn.
