HOW TO OIL ROADS.
The Dean Of Engineering Offers
Suggestions for Treatment
Of Dirt Highways.
AVOID USING TOO MUCH OIL
Excess Tends to Soften Surface and
Cause Ruts-careful Prepare.
ton Absolutely Necessary.

The application of road oil will moi
make a bad road good. 1t may keeE
a good road better and it may help tC
keep it in good condition, according tC
Dean E. j. McCaustland of the engi
neering school of the University o.
Missouri.
Oil was first used on earth roads
to lay the dust. 1t is effective for this
purpose if a quality is chosen that is
not too volatile and if it is properly
applied and with sufficient frequency
Lubricating oils should be avoided as
worse than useless and only those
chosen which have a distinctiyely as,
phaltic base, which gives them some
binding quality.
In addition to acting as a dust pre-
yentiye, oils, particularly those with
asphaltic base, serve to form crust
over the entire roadway, thus shed
ding water and preventing mud. Too
much oil must be avoided since an
excess tends to soften the surface.
From three-fourths to one and one.
fourth gallons per square yard is
usually sufficient for a single treat
ment.
To make oiling successful the earth
road must first be carefully drained,
properly crowned, and the surface
loosened by a light harrow to a depth
Of from n and a half to two inches.
After a light application of oil has
been absorbed the surface should be
again lightly narrowed and this fol
lowed by a second application. When
the full amount of oil is absorbed, roll
with a lighter roller and when thor
oughly compacted it may be opened to
traffic. The road should be kept
smooth to prevent formation of ruts.
The original cost of an oiling will ap.
proximate 5000 a mile.

nr. Frank w. GunsauIus Of

DR.. Frank W. Gunsaulus Of
Chicago, in his lecture on "The
America of Tomorrow" says the
Evrope of yesterday has gone
forever and the America Of yes
terday has gone and gone for
ever, thank God. with it has
gone much of the Incidence of
mind, selfshness. and egotism
that for so years has been draw
ing us away from the America
of our forefathers. We need a
vision of America and its sig
nifcance to the world. Thank
God that we have taken the flag
of Washington and gave aid
the land of Lafayette. 1t is a
stern baptism upon which we
have entered, but from it we
shall emerge refined and purified
and nearer to the alters of God.
If there's to be an America of
tomorrow we must thrust aside
this easygoing lassitude and
grip the spirit Of the founder of
the nation"

TOWN MARKET A SUCCESS
Plan Instituted at KirksVile Disposes
Of Garden Truck-consumers
Get the Benefit.


The plan or the city produce market
If Kirksyille is so simple the outline
If it may help some other little
garden filled town to conserve its
vegetables. The plan as evolved and
put into action by c. r. Jaccard, head
Of the department of agriculture of
he Huntsville Normal, included the
erection OF a frame booth at the
busiest corner of the town. The lum-
Der was furnished free by a lumber
company and Jaccard supplied the
abor.
Through the local newspapers,
which generously supported the plan,
all amateur gardeners, especially
children, and also farmers, were asked
10 bring produce to the booth between
The hours of Z and 1870 a. m. each
lay except Sunday. The produce was
sold until noon, at a commission of
) per cent and at noon the producer
called for any that was left, either to
take it home or to remove it to the
canning outfit purchased by the Adair
County Grange, where it was canned
for him at small cost. The price paid
for the produce was several cents
higher than would have been paid at
the grocery stores, and at the same
time cost the consumer less. The 5
per cent commission was paid to a
clerk.

BIG CORN CROP is INDICATED
Board Of Agriculture Expects a Yield
of 23o,00o,00o Bushels in State
This Year.

Missouri will raise about 2SO mil
lion bushels Of corn this year, 80 mil
lion more than last year, if the pres.
ent crop prospects are maintlined
The condition reported August l by
the state board of agriculture is SO,
two points lower than a month ago
and compared with 57.2 a year ago.
The forecast of the acreage yield is
2S.9 bushels to the acre.
The crop has been in critical cOndi-
ton in portions of two cows of coun-
ties bordering the Missouri river, but
considerable areas have had rain in
the past few days. Most of South
Missouri is in fine shape.
Wheat is threshing out in good quail
ity generally, and the acre yield is
better than advance estimate. With
29 per cent still in shock and S5 in
stack, the current records suggest 14.9
bushels as the acre average and 1921
as the average selling price. On this
estimate the state yield is % million
bushels, Az million more than the es-
innate a month ago and s million more
than a year ago. The highest yield
reported for any field was forty-one
bushels to the acre in the northeast
section.
The oat crop, on 1,116,O00 acres, 26
per cent threshed promises to aver
age 34.9 bushels to the acre, a total
of 80 million bushels, IA million more
than last year. Local prices average
sixty cents a bushel.
Timothy hay, average acre yield is
"a of a ton; timothy and clover mix
ed, IL tons.
August l. conditions emphasize the
value Of alfalfa for dry weather hay
and pasture, the secretary says, and
the need of the silos for conserving
both heavy and light corn. Stockmen
have been restless in droughty coun-
ties as to holding stock cattle, and
hogs.
State veterinarian DR.. d. +. Luck
eys' report shows $50 outbreaks of
hog cholera placed under control from
April l to August l in herds having
total of 1925 hogs.
