Public Roads

Good roads are one of the burning
issues of the day with every public
spirited and progressive people.
1t is self evident proposition that
the present system of road building
and the laws relative thereto and the
labor available for such purpose, are
entirely inadequate to give us such
roads as the material. economic and
social conditions of our country de-
mand; and in order to construct such
roads as we have, it is our opinion
that there must be radical change
in the present system.
1t requires money to build good,
permanent roads; far in excess of the
amount now available for such pur-
pose, and we believe that State or
County Bond Issue should be had.
properly safeguarded, as the best
means to procure such roads as a
suffering public demand and are en-
titled to.
We recommend, therefore. to our
members of the General Assembly
that they use their influence and best
service looking to the issuing of
bonds, State or County, Tor the
building and improvement of the
roads of our County.
Apropos of good roads. we desire
to commend the people of the Collier
section of our County for their vol
untary action in improving and work
ing the Martintown Public Road,
which we understand, due largely to
their activities, is now in reason
ably good condition. Their activities
as above referred to is ample proof
Of the inadequacy Of our present sys-
tenn, and unless a change is made, it
will become incumbent upon the pri-
vate citizenship of our County to
supplement the work of the County
Supervisor, however efficiently he
may be performing his duties, in the
up-keep s1i53 building of roads.

RAISE RABBITS FOR PROFITS
Little Domestic Animals Are Easy to
Handle and Remarkably Free
From Disease.

Rabbit raising on a backyard scale
is not an experiment. Thousands Of
small rabbitries in this country are
producing meat crops regularly for
family tables. These domestic ami
mails are easily raised and remarkably
free from disease when properly cared
for.
: The Belgian hare is one of the best
rabbits for table use. 1t weighs more
than most breeds, develops rapidly

emo the quality of the meat is superior
t. ell the others. Tie Flemish giant
is a Belgian hare bred exclusively for
large size, with the result that the
meat is coarser and less delicate in
flavor. These characteristics are con.
sidered by some persons as desirable.

wolves nearly half billion dollars an
nually.
What to Look For
Two bright spots reduce the menace
Of this disease:
Except in its early stages, it is
easily recognized; and it spreads
slowly
However, it can not be detected
until the potatoes are dug, as it does
not seriously affect the growth or
vigor of the vines.
1t usually appears in the eyes of
the tubers. Spreading from this point
of infection, it may gradually enyelop
the whole potato and render it a
spongy, warty mass. It is character
lied by the prominent wart-like out
growths on the tubers.
The warts at first are whitish or
light brown. Eventually they turn to
a darker shade. After decay starts
they turn black. Young warts, when
exposed to the light, turn green.
The warty tumors vary from the
size of a pea to walnut; or they may
even exceed the size of the potato on
which they grow. In the latter case,
the warty mass loses all resemblance
to a potato. In some. hills some OF
the potatoes may appear perfectly
healthy, but the eyes are likely to be
| infected.
| 1t is through the use of such appar
emily sound potatoes for seed that the
disease is often spread to new local.
| ties.
How This Disease May Be Spread.
| Under ordinary conditions the pc
/ ell 1xy
lives in the soil and on the tubers
so one or the other must usually be
transported to introduce the disease
! into a new field or locality. The spores
may be carried into clean soil By
drainage from infected soil, on the
feet of men or animals, by planting
diseased potatoes, by planting SOUND
tubers that have grown on infected
! soil, by the use of manure from ami
mails to which diseased potatoes have
been fed, and by garbage into which
Feelings from diseased potatoes naV'

Preventive Measures.
| No method of controlling the potato
wart disease has yet been discovered
SO every preventive measure must b.
used to keep it from spreading. TIL
warts should be burned. Disease
= tubers must not be fed to live stool

soil should be planted to other crops
