FARMERS BLUE AS INDIGO.

FARMERS are not nj ail optimistic
"Ne" the corn prospects Reports from
I'' 4Foh' sections are very unfavor-
able. Some say The crop is bound to
he failure this year. The spring
has been the most unfavorablc for
years. Scarcely dozen fields in the
county show above the clods. "Knce
high at harvest is the limit they
say, and unless the weather changes
ut once and continues highly favor
able an average crop, even, cannot
be made, whereas Il bumper crop was

ROADS
BUILD ROADS ON WAR FRONT
Possible and Desirable to Construct
Highest Types Of Surfaces for
Moving Supplies

With the arrival OF the Balfour mis-
sion late information has been obtain
ed regarding road building methods
followed in the war regions Of France
and Belgium.
English military engineers have re-
Gently made experiments demonstrate
ing that it is possible and desirable 10
build the highest type Of road sur
faces for the temporary or emergency
movement Of artillery and supplies.
Roads built with asphalt sent over
from England have recently been con-

GUM front Roads so improved gave
far better service than any type here
tOfOre attempted under the swift and
heavy movements neceSsitated by the
artillery action which precedes infan-

tor trucks and gun carriages suffered
no injury in movement over these
hastily constructed asphalt pavements,
while frequent breakdowns were ex-
perienced when road building was not
attempted.
These experiments being done, a
mission including officers of the Brit
ism and French engineer corps looked
over the pavements in the envirOnS
OF Paris built in the last three or four
years Among other roads inspected
early in this month was the Trini-

ALL SENSATIONS IN BRAIN
Persons Make Mistake When They
Say They Feel Pain in Other
Portions of the Body

Where do you feel the pain2 asks
the doctor. In ny finger, in my ear.
in my foot, the sufferer replies, and II
the physician told him he did not feel
it there but in his head, the average
man would doubt the doctors sanity.
Yet the doctor would be right.
In an address at the University of
California. Prof. @. H. Parker OF Har-
ward told the students that we have
been obliged to give up the idea that
sensations are spread throughout our
bodies. for persons who have lost a
limb often feel sensations that seem
to come from the missing member.
''Our sensations" said Professor
Parker, are not located in the peri
pheraI parts affected, but in the cen
trail nervous system, and within that
portion Of II known as the cerebral
cOrtex-" This is the outer layer, or
gray matter Of the brain. One may
lose an arm, yet have the sensation Of
pain in TIE hand; but if a small piece
OF that particular part OF the brain TO
which run the senSory nerves from
the arm be removed, one will never
again feel anything in that arm. not
even If the hand be placed in the fire.

FLIES CAUSE LOSS
TO STOCK FARMERS
Insects Which Gather Around
Stables and Yards Are Cause
of Irritation and Worry.

By c. H EELROY, Department Of
Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma A and
N College, StillWater.)
Flies cause losses to live stock farm
ers in various ways, making it difficult
to estimate the damage done. Those
which gather around stables and yards
where animals are confined are the
most difficult to handle.
They are seldom If ever the direct
cause of death to animals, but the fr-
ritation, worry, loss in flesh and dimi-
mutton in milk production are a few
probable damages.
Preventive measures are practiced
in handling these pests. The removal
Of all material affording breeding
places should be practiced. Manure
heaps and decaying organic matter af-
ford a fertile place for insect devel-
opment. Stables often can be dark
ened and screened. The use of skin
washes are practical ways of check
ing their efforts. A good solution con-
sists of emulsiied laundry soap one
pound in four gallons of water TO
which add one gallon OF crude oil To
this mixture add four ounces Of pow
dered naphthalene. Spray animal one
or two times per week.

to have the roads improved for them !;
they promised their full proportion OF
financial support for their construc-
ton.
An entirely different condition is re-
ported from New England, New York
and New jersey. There the conges-
ton Of railway traffic makes the high
ways OF great value In delivering man
ufactured materials from one city to
another; the motor truck has sudden
~ become a real necessity in meeting
the urgent requirements for transport
ing the products Of the cities. In
short, the rational improvement Of
roads is an essential element of the
grave economic problems Of the day,
to make. the valuable products Of the
farm and shop available to the user
at the lowest possible cost. This sub
iect should be studied at once as an
economic problem, the same as the
provision Of railway and waterway
transportation, the increase In cult
waited acreage and the improvement Of
manufacturing facilities. Crops that
cannot be moved from the farms ex-
cept at GLORIOUS expense and manu-
featured products that must lie in
storehouse because Of congestion Of
railways are Of little value to a na-
ton which needs such things now.

GETTING CROPS TO MARKET
Of Little Avail to Raise Produce of
Any Kind If II Cannot Be Moved
to Shipping Point.

While a great deal is being said
about the crying need Of cultivating
every acre Of land which can be made
to yield crops at a fair profit, there is
a surprising silence about the equal
Iy important need of providing faciIi-
ties or getting those crops to shipping
points. It Is OF little avail to raise
wheat if it cannot be hauled to mar
ket.
At q recent convention Of the Ohio
Good Roads association the farmer
delegates spoke with the utmost con-
victiOn Of the need of improved roads,
good 365 days In the year, if they were
to do their part In the mobilization OF
the resources of the country in the
cause of humanity. Moreover, these
delegates from the farms did not ask
