GOOD ROADS ESSEN
TIAL TO DEMOCRACY

Democracies are dependent upon
mutual understanding and trust among
all concerned. These qualities of I'M
derstanding and trust can develop on
ly after a period of acquaintanceship
and this must be the outgrowth of
friendly intercourse, which, in turn,
may be hindered or entirely cut off
by difficulties of travel. 1t seems log
ical, therefore, to believe that bad
roads have an influence directly and
harmfully on the permanency of dem
ocratic institutions, according to Dean
E. ]. McCaustland of the University
of Missouri engineering school.
The early New England town meet
ing was a source of inspiration and
strength to democratic ideals. AS the
country developed and the population
spread into the West, the solidarity
of interest among the people was
broken down on account of difficulties
of travel, and the town meeting, as
an institution, passed away. The tel
ephone and the motor car have done
much to bring back a realization of
common interests, and in no way can
the cause of democracy be more per-
manently advanced than in making
easy the possibility of travel and in
terchange of ideas. No idea is of
much value unless it can be commune
Gated to others. The isolation of farm
life must be eliminated by the contin-
uous development of road building
programs that will finally enable the
people to get together easily.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-08-24

the proper use of these feeds anc
that by their use the profit resulting
is considerably increased.
There are times when the Missouri
farmer can use feeds other than corn
to advantage in producing pork. The
College of Agriculture has shown that
this may sometimes be done with
wheat and has determined the rela-
tive value of wheat and corn and the
best methods of feeding. Bulletin
l36 gives in detail the results of the
tests.
A large number of swine feeders
have sought information from the
College regarding the value and lin
itations of self-feeders for fattening
swine. This information has been
furnished from trials conducted for
this purpose. The results of this work
have been published in Bulletin 144
and are available for free distribu-
ton to Missouri farmers.
The experimental work with forage
crops for swine has shown: (1) the
kind of forage crops best adapted;
(2) rotations which will produce the
largest amount of pork per acre of
pasture; (3) the kind of grain ration
to feed on the different kinds of pas
lures for best results; "a that the
saving of grain resulting from the
use Of pasture crops is from 30 to so
per cent.
These results point the way of still
further decreasing the cost of pre-
pairing hogs for market. Several
publications on pork production have
been issued. These will be invaluable
to hog feeders during the present cri-
sis when feed prices are abnormally
high. Copies may be had by applying

ATTRACTIVENESS COUNTS
IN FAIR EXHIBITS

Selecting fruits and vegetables for
exhibition at local, county or State
fairs has in many cases developed in
to the habit of selecting the largest
specimens available. Size is always a
desirable characteristic but the use of
'over-grown specimens often results in
the sacrifice of other characteristics
which are of equal or greater value.
In the search for size, good color
and shape, freedom from blemishes
and uniformity in the various speci-
mems are often entirely overlooked.
To show the relative value of these
points, the score card for apples used
by the university of Missouri College
of Agriculture is given: Size, Is
points; form, Is; color, 20; uniformi-
ty, 20; freedom from blemish, 80; to-
tai, 100.
Size.-The most acceptable CONNER
cial size is somewhat above the av-
erage size for the variety in regions
where it is well grown.
FOrm.-In all cases this refers to
the normal type of the variety, region
of growth considered
ColOr.-In red, blushed or striped
pome fruits, high, clear color is de-
sirable. A blush on a green or I'M
colored variety is considered neither
favorably or otherwise. The highest
color is most acceptable in stone and
vine fruits.
Uniformity.-This refers to uni
formity in size. form and color. I'M
colored, mis-shapen specimens, or
specimens of irregular size have no

THE BANANA TREE

The banana tree is a wonderful
thing. Every part of it serves some
good use. The long leaves work up
into a fine excelsior. The juice, being
rich in tannin, furnishes fine indel-
ible ink and @ good shoe polish. The
stems yield a first-class quantity of
Hemp, from which can be made lace
handkerchiefs, cords and ropes, to
say nothing Of mats and brushes. The
oil is used for gliding. Banana flour
of nutritious quality is made by
grinding the dried fruit. In fact, it
is said that the natives of Jamaica
could scarcely exist without the ba-
mana tree.-The Kings Own.

POISON BAIT
KILLS GRASSHOPPERS

In some parts of Missouri swarms
of young grasshoppers are beginning
to do great damage to truck, field and
orchard crops. These young hoppers
are easily killed by sowing poisoned
bran mash over the infested fields
early in the morning just as the in
sects begin to feed.
T. J. Talbert of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture Of
fers the following formula for max
ing poison bran mash:
Paris green or powdered arsenate
of lead, IL pound; wheat bran, 10
pounds; oranges or lemons, 2; molas-
ses or syrup, quarts; water, l 1-2
gallons. Mix the bran and poison to-
gether dry in a tub or barrel. Grind
or cut the oranges or lemons and add
the juice and pulp to the water. Then
add the syrup or mollasses and stir.
Finally add the water containing the
syrup and fruit to the poison bran
and stir the whole mixture thorough
ly, after which it will be ready for
use. A damp, coarse, crumbly mash
is desired. The material should not
be sloppy.
This mixture should be sown broad
cast like wheat or oats and the pro-
portions given in the formula should
sow from two to three acres. If the
work is properly done the first SOW
ing should kill from go to so per cent
of the young grasshoppcrs.
A second sowing of the poison bran
mash may be necessary in week or
ten days if the grasshoppers contin-
ue to come in swarms from neighbour
ing fields. In most cases, however,
one sowing will be sufficient.

FEEDING TESTS
HELP HOG RAISERS

The University of Missouri College
Of Agriculture has conducted expert
ments the results of which have help
ed the Missouri farmer to materially
decrease the cost Of producing pork.
This has been done by determining
the most economical rations for dry
lot feeding and by working out sys-
tenn of pork production by the use of
forage crops.
The work with rations for dry lot
feeding has been principally along
three lines, supplementing corn, sub
stitutes for corn and methods of feed
ing.
Experiments have been conducted in
which the corn ration has been sup
p!emented with some feed like tank
age, linseed oil meal, shorts or skim
milk. The results of this work show

Freedom from blemish.-This

freedom from every kind of blemish,
resulting from insect injury, mechan-
zeal injury, disease or any other
cause. Score cards for other fruits
and for vegetables will necessarily
differ somewhat from the foregoing
but in every case, size will only be one
of the several points emphasized.
Therefore, in order to have exhibits
which will carry away the ribbon it is
necessary to select the individual
specimens, well shaped and colored,
of uniform size above medium for
the variety and free from all signs of
injury or disease.

RUSSIANS LOSE STRONG POSITIONS

The heaviest fighting now in pro-

Russian front in the Riga sector where
the Germans recently took the offens.
i've and drove back the Russians a
mile and half In the region of the
great Tirul marsh, that long has bar.

forces.
Berlin announces today that the at
tack netted the Germans strong Rus.
sian positions on front of about six
miles. with more than LOO prisoners
and thirteen machine guns. Russians
reserved hurriedly brought up were
unable to check the advance.
Teutons Suffer Reverses.
Attempting again to advance over

effort in this wamp region possible.
the Teutonic army has suffered re-
verses according to Petrograd today.
Northeast Of the marshes they OPEN
ed a heavy artillery fire and then at
tackled but failed to make any head
way against the Russian defense.
The fighting extended to the south
east of the river near Kalmzen, which
lays twenty miles southwest of Riga.
Here the Russians, after taking the
