Crop Value 1916 Double That Any

The annual report of crops in the Salt River valley. completed yesterday under the direction of the government reclamation ser vice, shows the past year to be the most successful since the completion of the Roosevelt dam. IL is generally estimated that the value of agricultural products for the year just closed will be more than double that of any other season.. The figures will not be made public for several days.
 The cotton industry in the val ley IS said to he the direct result for the enormous increr5e noticed during the 1915-l5 season. The value of this crop alone ran into the millions. it is stated.

til it evaporates. In most cases it is
cheaper to get the water away from
the road than to try to lift the road
out of it.
Sometimes roads on the hillsides
are left without side bitches. This is
a mistake, for if any road needs
ditch it is the one on hillside, for
where there are no bitches the water
runs along the middle of the road and
wears gullies and as we all know,
makes bad road.
The roads should be SO crowned
that water can reach the tile or
bitches. If all ruts and mudholes are
filled, the water will have better
chance to run off. There are several
machines made to keep the roads in
shape and these need to be used often
and at the right time. 1t is not neces-

GOOD
ROADS
IMPROVE ROADS BY DRAINAGE
One of the Most Important Matters to
Be Considered in Construction
of Public Highways.
(By E. L. GATES, Illinois.)

10y L. II. GAlES, liuDolS%J
When it comes to building roads
there are good many problems to
solve and not easy ones at that. Rid
ing along in an auto it is easy enough
to say when you strike a smooth
stretch, this is fine" and turn on q
little more gas, but when you hit
mudhole and ruts you may get your
foot on the wrong pedal and the road
commission catches it.
1t takes labor, time, good material
and money to have good roads. Every
one wants the roads, so we will all
have to work and spend some of our
time and money and boost for better
roads.
One of the things most needed is
better drainage for the roads as well
as for the farms and at this time we
will confine this article to the subject
of drainage.
Drainage is the most important
struction Of roads. Drainage alone
will often change bad road into a
good one while the best stone road
may be destroyed from lack OF prop
er drainage.
There are three systems of drainage
that we can use to advantage. and
these are underdrainage, side bitches
and surface drainage.
Where water stands on a road I'M
derdrainage without any grading is
better than grading without under
drainage. Undertakings is not to re-
move simply the surface water but its
greatest help is to lower the water lev
Ell in the soil.
The action of the sun and wind will
finally dry the surface of the road but
If the foundation is wet and soft the
wheels will wear ruts and these get
filled with water during the first rains
and the road becomes a sticky mass
An undrained soil is poor founda.
ton upon which to build roads as well
as anything else. When frost is leav-
ing the ground the thawing is quite
as much from the bottom as from the
top. If underdrainage is provided the
water is Immediately removed
The best and cheapest method to
secure underdrainage is to lay line
of farm drain tile on one or both sides
of the road. The new road law gives
the highway commissioners power to
contract with adjoining property own
ers to lay larger tile than is necessary
to drain the road and to permit the
contracting parties to drain their
lands This helps the roads and at
the same time is a great benefit to
the adjoining land.
Side bitches are necessary to all
roads but no road can be maintained
with the ditch holding the water un-

CHAPTER XII.


The Preacher proved to be the
strangest thing in all this strange
country to Sandry as he watched him
in the days that followed. He spoke
but seldom and then with quaint pre-
c1sion, beauty of speech and thought
that amazed the man from the East.
But they were old thoughts, Sandry
found at last, thoughts formulated in
the hire and enthusiasm of youth. hence
still burning when youth had fled and
age had brought it's empty seeming.
And 1t is there" he said to himself,
that S'letz gets her manner of speech,
though her visions are her own, born
of her centered SOUL"
At the end of the week Sandry went
to Salem. When he returned his face
was drawn as IL from loss of sleep,
and he summoned Daily to the office.
Sandry pulled open drawer in his
desk and took out the deed to the East
Belt.
This he said tensely, has never
been recorded. searched the records
at the land office and our deed is not
there. Instead there is a brand new
homestead filing in the name of T. J.
O'Connel. Daily, either old Frazer was

There was strained note in the
owners voice. His foreman sat in the
tip-tilted Office chair open -mouthed
and round-eyed
Then Hampdens got tn strangIe-
holt--damn his soul to hell. He

Sandry moved slightly and Siletz
glanced across his shoulder down the
valley. A gasp, as of indrawn breath
made him look up.
Her lips were open and intense as
constituent sat upon her face. For a
moment she stared at the distant
rider. Then she whirled, so swiftly
that one of her long braids whipped
across Sandry's face like a lash. and
dashed into the lean-to.
When she emerged the dark color
had drawn out of her cheeks and lips,
leaving them ashen. Her face worked
and Sandry fell back step at sight
of her eyes. They were all savage,
flaming with a rage which astounded
him.
