GOOD ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer
Chance to Reach Markets-Bad
Roads Decrease Efficiency.

The railways and interurbanS have
and are having much to do with the
development of this state. The evil
dence of their splendid work is seen
on every hand. They have contributed
to the building of towns, the develop
ment of rural communities and have
made 1t possible for great industrial
ventures to succeed. But they, while
working wonders for the common
wealth, cannot reach every household
as the highways do. The highway
reaches the isolated man, which the
railway but incidentally touches, and
1t means to this man or the community
In which he lives whether the highway
Is of such a nature as to enable him
to carry on his relations at the least
expense and comfort. If the roads are
bad he is hampered and loses much,
not only from the value of his prod
ucts which must be hauled to market,
but he pays tribute In the wear and
tear of his harness, vehicles and in
jury to animals. His inability to reach
churches and schools easily reduces
his ability to make the most useful
citizen.
If he has good roads he reverses
this and stands out with greater pos
sibilities along all lines of endeavor
In which he engages. - Greenville

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to Be
Kept Closed Tiaht-Use Split
Log Drag After Rains.

By w. C. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College)
When dry weather comes the dust
from the road becomes a great nuf-
sance to the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
have to be kept closed tight to lessen
the amount of dust that seeps in. The
most effective way of reducing the
dust nuisance Is the use of split-log
drag on the road after every rain.
The road dust comes largely from the
grinding up of the turned-up edges Of
ruts made by wheels and horses hoofs.
These cannot form unless water can
stand ON the roadbed and water can
not stand on the roadbed IL 1t is kept
well crowned anf well packed as il
will be IL the road drag is used regu-
larry. Dragging the roads will mean
q good deal to the housewife, as well
as to travellers and those who have to
haul to and from the market.

WILL BUY LONG
STAPLE COTTON

1t would seem that Marion county
is again coming into her own in one
of the most important industries that
ever thrived here. We refer to the
growing of long staple or Sea Island
cotton.
Great quantities of this important
staple is being raised in Marion coun-
ty this year, in fact, more than has
been for over twenty years, which
means well for every grower.
The Smith Grocery Company has
made arrangements to buy cotton in
any quantity from pound to car
load, and proposes paying the highest
market prices for it in the seed. This
concern has Leased the lower floor of
the Biermann building for storing the
cotton until sufficient quantity is on
hand to turn over to the ginneries.
Daily market quotations will be re-
ceived and Mr.. Pillans, who has this
feature of the business in charge, as
sures US that he will pay top notch
prices for every pound brought to
him.
Regardless of many seasons of very
successful trucking operations in this
section the most solid and substantial
conditions that ever existed were the
years in which large creages of long
staple cotton were planted nv our
farmers.

many miles of roads during the last
winter, made in the late fall, that
were all but impossible practically
all winter.
A new road made in the late fall
can hardly help but be rough all
winter. This kind of road means a
lot more wear on the auto, higher
gasoline expense and a very much
general wear on the car. It also
means that the farmer cannot haul
nearly as heavy a load with his team
and quicker wearing out of the
wagon.

work Is done by voters working out

Road making is a matter Of lot
Of importance to the city man and the

dollars are expended annually in this

running clear into the winter, for the
good of the road and for the judicious
expenditure of the money.
The road that is made in the late

side-partner, Ben Raysor, and family,

people of that community are look

one velvet bean field, where the vines
were ridged and rolled like sea waves,
we were surprised to be told their
was a big corn crop under the beans,
the vines having climbed the sturdy
stalks, bent them down and covered
them almost from sight. There were
many wide fields of peanuts, which
will fatten hogs by the hundreds, for
Lowell is one of the great meat rais-
ing sections of the county. Beauty
hasn't been sacrificed to utility, for
the Raysor cottage is situated in a
stretch of woodland, where shade and
cool air make the summer days pleas
ant. There is a fine road across
from Lowell to Spar, making a pref
ty drive which our autoists should
take advantage of when they want
to see some fine farming country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Raysor treated the ed
itor like he was a preacher, and gave
him so much fried chicken, hot bis
cult and genuine butter gravy that
he began to think he would have to
phone to Ocala for truck to bring
him in. Some of these days we are
going up to Lowell and take that
country apart to see what makes it
