Must Fix the Roads.

The postoffice department has decided to cut out large number of rural routes in the next few months to reduce expenses. h. spectors will go through the coun- try in the next few months and ex- anime all roads which the rural carriers travel and whenever the condition of the roads is found bad, routes will be discontinued. Roads which show neglect will be more apt to be condemned than those which have been put in first class condition.
 Patrons of rural route No l out of Huttig should inspect the roads in their neighborhood and whenever it needs working should cooperate with the road overseer and see that it is in good shape before the inspector for this territory shows up if they do not wish to lose their mail route.

Wooden shipbuilding yards are springing up at many points along the Pacific. Atlantic and Gulf coasts and, in ad- dition to the numerous steel ship building facilities we have had heretofore, six big steel yards have been put into service within the last thirty days, with more in pros- poets.

 MT. Rhodes took a cheerful view of progress being made by the country in it's military preparation.

Biz Fire at lawson.

An effort to cover up a supposed robbery of the postoffice at Law son, village 10 miles east of Fl Dorado, is believed to have fur nished the motive for starting a fire which, early last Saturday morning, swept the little town and resulted in loss of $2O,OOO.
 The fire started in the postoffice. From this building it spread through the village. Buildings de- stroyed include the postoffice, the B. B. Green store, the A. c. Cha ney store, the Williams & Mccall drug store and several homes and barns. Among those who lost their homes are Henry Trull, Dr. c. H. Williams and B. B. Green. It is said that there was no insur- ance.
 There was about $500 in the postoffice, and it is bell we'd that a robber entered the office and se- cured the money, and then fired the building in an effort to hide the theft. No arrest has been made.

Sweet Potato House.

One-fifth of the sweet potato crop of the Southern states-1O,- 100000 bushels of the average crop of 5O,OOO,OoO-is lost an- nually by decay. Careless hand ling at harvest time and improper storage cause almost the entire loss. To save these 1O.OOO,OOO bushels to the food supply this year and also take care of the prob able increase in production is the object of efforts specialists of the United States department of agri- culture are making to induce grow CTS in the South to prepare we'll ordered storage houses as soon as possible for the coming harvest.
 Storage can be provided by con- vertng vacant buildings into stor- age houses, or in specially con- structed buildings. Two things are essential in the storeroom- good insulation and provision for thorough ventilation. These things are provided for in plans for a model storage house given in Farmers Bulletin 548, Storing and Marketing Sweet Potatoes. '' The plans there described are for building of 2,5OO to 5000 bush- els capacity, but the principles of construction can be as readily fol- lowed and applied in providing stor- age for 500 bushels of for 5O,OOO bushels.
 It is economy to build a substan- tial sweet potato storage house, becanse it will last longer and re- quire less attention than cheap, poorly constructed one. It would be possible to keep potatoes in a cheaper house and less careful con- structed one, but the attention re- ouired and the additional fuel used would soon exceed the cost of the extra care and material required in better one. The chances of loss are much greater in a poorly built than well built house.

 England stands ready to buy every ship, of wood or steel, built in the United States, that we are willing to sell.'

Pages Weekly letter.

Many reports are coming in daily concerning the presence of boil Weeyil. In some cases the Weevils are puncturing a large share of the early squares. The damage done will depend largely upon weather conditions and the treatment that the cotton gets during the next few weeks. The adult Weeyil pre- fers to feed upon the young squares. When one is punetured an egg is deposited which develops into small white worm within three or five days. From the time the egg is laid until the adult wee vii comes out is from two to three weeks. After a square has been punctured it usually falls to the ground within a few days. If tbe square falls in the shade of the plant or in bunch of grass the chances for the development of the Weevil is good, but if the direct sunlight can strike it the young Weevil will usually be killed. The temperature at the surface of the ground is much higher than 1t is two or three feet above. Because of the above facts the most praeti- cal method of combating the in sect is by giving constant and shal- low cultivation. This will keep down the grass and weeds. so that the sun has the very best chance to strike every falling square. Very frequently chain attachment is put on the blow, which will tend to drag the squares to the middle of the rows. The constant cultiva- tion will also help to maintain the moisture in the soil and foster the rapid growth of the cotton plants. A few weeks of rain or lack of proper cultivation would mean ab- solute destruction of the crop in many instances. Write to the State Department of Agriculture
  for Farmers Bulletin No. SIP. This bulletin covers the boil weeyil problem thoroughly.
 Although the seed of cowpeas and soybeans are high, a small patch at least should be planted on every farm. From this patch the seed for next year can be saved. The vines can then be pastured off or turned under. Feed is high priced and an acre of cowpeas will help in furnishing feed for the hogs that are to make the meat for the family. Try turning under an acre 
 of cowpea vines after they have been pastured and see the effect it will have on the cotton or corn crop next year. In addition to the cowpeas and sowbeans, a pacth of wheat, oats or rye should be put in if the seed can possibly be ob- tained. Even with the high price of seed it will pay large dividends to SOW some of the above crops in the cotton middles in the latter half of September or early October for winter pasture. The mule, horse or hog must be fed, and it is much cheaper to furnish green pas ture than to buy the feed.
