SitSreaveS Officers. Initiate
Scheme to Distribute
Reading Natter

There are a number of ranch
ers and settlers living in rather
remote and inaccessible places
within the Sitgreaves National
Forest, who, through poor mail
facilities, are deprived of Sc
curing reading matter which
otherwise would be considered
by them as necessity.
AS a means of meningitis
condition in part, Forest officers
while in the course of their
regular duties, will gladly dis
tribute in addition to those they
may have, any back number
magazines or other publications
which the local public may be
willing to contribute.
If those who desire to assist
in this scheme will leave their
reading matter at the local Su-
pervisor's office, it will be mailed
out to Forest officers affected
who in turn will make the de-
sired distribution.

Auto Race Real Thing

During the two-day celebra-
tion in Flagstaff, July Sd and
4th, will be staged a 25 mile au-
tomobile track race with a $500
purse attached. The race will
be open only to stock cars with
out changed gears. However,
the body of the cars may be
stripped if the driver so desires.
The track is being widened,
banked and put in frst-class
shape and indications are that a
good race will be staged. The
Elks are certainly starting right
to make July Sd and 4th days to
be remembered in Flagstaff.

C. R. Fillerup, our farm ad-
visor, has moved into his office
in one of the rear rooms of the

'Uncle Billie" Willis, who has
been dangerously sick the past
week, is reported much better
and in a fair way to recover.
Misses lone and Lorana Rog-
ers left today for Pinedale where
they will spend a few weeks on
their mothers homestead ranch
near that place.
Jack Smith arrived in town
yesterday horseback and left
this morning for his ranch at
Walker riding a new hay rake
which he purchased here.
Forest Supervisor Pitchlynn
and Robt. Deering, forest super
visor from the Albuquerque dis
trict office, returned yesterday
from a several days field trip
in the Heber district.
Ike Rogers of the prairie dog
exterminating party left Tues
day for the border to join the
army. However, when he got
to Holbrook, the army authori-
ties at Phoenix wired him not to
come, thinking, no doubt, that
his services were more needed
here than on the border.
The wind the past ten days
was the worst in the history of
this section, according to old
settlers. Not satisfied with TAX
ing it's turn during the day, it
put in several nights, much to
the disgust of nervous and irri-
tant persons, and some others.
The wind played havoc to many
trees in town, stripping them of
limbs, large and small ones, and
the sidewalks were streWn with
the debris. The breeze let up
last night and it looks now as
if things had resumed their for
mer normal condition.

Catering to the Market

Steer buyers are demanding
more and more each year that
the stock they receive be of an
even age, size, appearance and
free from defects. They say
that the present high prices de-
manded by the growers make
this action necessary. The Show
Low stockmen have set out to
meet this demand and through
their stock association, in coop
GRAFTON with the Forest officers,
are taking steps to accomplish
results. Their first move has
been the adoption of a rule that
all bulls must be pastured anC
kept off the Show Low range
from April l to July Is of each
year. This rule is effective
against any stray bulls found on
the Show Low Community Allot-
ment as we'll as against the bulls
of the Show Low stockmen. All
stray animals will be removed
from the range and held and the
owners notified to come and get
them. The Show Low owners
are confident that their action
will result in an even aged bunch
of steers and that they will
move more readily on the market
and at a much better price than
mixed bunch. incidentally
they will cut down the spring
death loss in COWS due to early
calving, pine needles, etc.
Other progressive ideas are
being rapidly worked out on this
range under the direction of the
Advisory Board of the Association
which board confers and advises
with the Forest officers regu-
larly on all matters pertaining
to the stock industry on their
range. The Association has come
to stay and is ION the Job"

the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money it is, of
course, especially important to avoid
this error. On the other hand, how
ever, it is not necessary to regard the
total cost of s%urfacing a road as a
temporary Improvement. Much of the
s~urfacing may be classed as a perma-
nent investment, for it is becoming
more and more common to have sur
faces built in two courses, the lower
OF which Is as much a permanent fea-
ture OF construction as the grading
itself. This Is particularly true of
those types Of road that are built with
concrete foundations for bituminous
macadam. brick or asphalt surfaces.
It Is probably conservative to regard
40 per cent OF the hrst-construction
cost OF macadam or more enduring
pavements az . permanent investment.
It is seldom nowadays that hard roads
are permitted to wear into the founda-
ton course OF the surfacing.
Where proper maintenance il as

This is due partly to the decreased
cost OF hauling and partly to the fact
that a good road makes the farm q
more desirable place to live.
Moreover. improved roads have a
market effect on both the amount and
character Of production. For exam

truck gardening, dairying and other
forms of intensive farming are con-
lined to a small zone, Immediately
surrounding the town, which is usu-
ally scarcely sufficient to supply the
local demand. Without good roads
the production of perishable goods at
any considerable distance from mar
ket or shipping point is too hazard
u an undertaking to be profitable.
With good roads the produce can be
brought to market with regularity and
in prime condition, two essentials in
successful marketing.
The parcel post makes possible d.
rect marketing between producer and
consumer regardless Of distance. But
here again the public roads play no
small part, affecting not only possible
extensions of the system, but also the
cost Of it's operation.
The condition Of our rural schools
is closely connected with the condi-
ton of the public roads. While it is
true that various factors contribute
to increase or decrease the attendance
at schools in given sections Of the

and maintenance charges will always
be necessary. On the other hand,
many features of a good road are to
be regarded az permanent investments.
When roads are built with borrowed
money, the distinction between the
permanent and the temporary improve
ment must be carefully observed in
order that the county may have some
thing In exchange when the time
comes to repay the loan.

Such q scheme can only be brought
