ROAD BUILDING

During the past ten days this
county has seen record broken
in the way of putting metal Gil
roads. With the crusher fur
nished by the State and the new
trucxs we can have hard surface
roads in this county. Thomas
O. Mara hauled 80 truck loads of
ballast from the crusher on Dr.
Lovell's farm to the grade on
town hill. This demonstrates
the fact that road building is
speeding up. This year has
been a year of great advance in
road work and we have a promise
of continuance of the good work
next year on a larger scale.
Road building is a progressive
move that so changes conditions
that it niece ssarily will come SLOW
The great expenditure of money
is not the only obstacle. Public
sentiment is not yet cemented
on general uplifts. We think
more than half of our cltlzens are
still luke warm about roads be-
cause the project don't bring a
pike on their farm, but this con
clusion will evidently be outliyed
and our people will realize that "a
road one mile in their direction
is worth while to Them and is "A
start that will eventually bring a
g cd road by their door when
their time comes. Hard surface
roads will spring all over the
county at a much more rapid
rate.

AN INTERESTING ITEM

Chicago, Nov. Is. Chicago
will Be the battle-ground this yeal
for theannual struggle between
the best corn producers of the
entire country to determine who
will be crowned corn King OF
the United States. The struggle
will be staged at the Iuternation-
al Hay and Grain Show, which
will be held in connection with
the International Live Stock Ex-
position at the Union Stock
Yards. November 2eth to Decem.
Der 9th. This is the first grain
show since 1914 on account of
the war.
Already the entry list is large,
with the very best corn growers
in the country competing for the
$4,000 in prizes offered by the
Chicago Board of trade.
In addition to the corn which
will be on display from the various
states, fourteen agricultural COL
leges will have exhibits of an edu.
catiOnal nature.
One OF the special features
will be a miniature farm. This
will be a complete layout of
farm, showing the number of
cattle, hogs, sheep. horses, chick
chs, etc, that an average corn
belt farm can probably carry.
1: also will show a good crop
with the farm all laid
so as to save labor and increase
the efficiency of the operator.
Jvdging from the many entries
of corn. oats, wheat and all kinds
OF hay now being received, the
show this year will far surpass
that of previous years. The corn
and small grain growers not
only are interested, but the hay
producers, who are given an OPP
portunity to show what they can
do, will be at the show in force.

GOVERNMENT AND COLLEGE
EXHIBITS,

Again a leading feature ofyth,
International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton. during the first week il
December. will be an exhibit to
portray the results of feeding
experiments as conducted by
several agricultural experiment
stations during recent years.
This exposition has been OF
great educational value to the
stockmen of America concerning
profitable types and breeds OF
live stock. This year exhibits
will be staged that ascertain to
prove OF great educational value
along lines of profitable feeding
and management. The exact
amount of feed required to make
one pound of beef, pork or NUT
ton in different experiments will
be shown, and a concise state.
ment of the results will be pre-
scented in the form of cards or
charts.
At this particular time when
feed is high in price. it is very
necessary IN profitable feeding
to study carefully food combina-
tons that will give the greatest
gains at the lowest cost and with
the highest profits. This exhibit
is certain TO prove both interest.
ing and instructive to the largest
number of stockmen who will
be in attendance. Model live
stock farms will be shown in
miniature and model barns and
feed racks of various descriptions
will be exhibited.
The Department of Agriculture
is preparing very attractive ex.
hibits pertaining to feeding and
management of live stock, one OF
the features of which will be "a
