The farmer who breeds his gifts to

one who says that he cannot afford to

Keep the tried brood SOW as long as

1t Is necessary to have one person

P. Borland Of Missouri, a gOOd-roads

this subject as follows:
1t will be necessary, in my judg
ment, to classify gil existing high.
ways into at least three classilications.
The first class is that of the great
croSs-state or interstate highways
Tie second consists Of the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third, the by-roads, local roads
or lanes. These various classes of
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with a view to the
amount Of traffic that they can bear
and must bear. The first class should
be Of the most permanent and scien-
tific construction. Tho second class
could be Of less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
The third class could be improved |
only to the extent that the community
'eQuired. The expense of building
Ind maintaining these roads should
'e distributed upon the same basis.
THE roads of the first class should

NEW CORN DISEASE IS FOUND
Trouble Manifests Itself In a Weak
ening Of Stalk, So That Plant Ia
Easily Blown Over.

Fifteen million dollars annually is
my estimate of the loss caused in
Iowa by this corn disease" said Dr. L.
II. Pammel of the Iowa State college
botany department, speaking Of the
new fusarium cornstalk disease be-
fore the Iowa Corn and Small Grain
Growers association recently.
The disease, which was discovered
only last year, is closely related to de-
structive diseases of cotton and fax.
1t manifests itself in a weakening of
the stalk, so that the corn plant ia
easily blown over, some fields being
so affected that nearly all Of the stalks
are broken. A pink mold is often
found in the pith of the stalk, and the
pith Is completely destroyed, usually.
at the point where the stalk breaks.
