Prescott, Ark. Feb. II, 1919.
Nevada County Picayune,
ALL

Nevada County Picayune,
Prescott, Ark.
As there has been much said of late
on road building. ] would like to put
in afew words.
To begin with, | want to say we ney-
er will have any roads in thiscounty
as long as we try to work a road fifty
or sixty feet wide. 50 long as this is
done we will have three bitches, one
small ditch on each side and one large
ditch in the middle.
Now, if every acre of land in Ne
yada county was in cultivation we
would not have TO go two III abreast
to haul the produce to market. so you
see we don't need such wide roads, we
only need just room enough to meet
and pass each other. In other words
twenty to twenty-five feet is wide a
plenty for all the traffic we will ever
need. and if this rule had been adopt
ed when we first began working our
roads by taxation, we would have
had good roads to travel today.
OF course we all know our road
funds are small. but if they were used
on narrow roads it would be possible
to get to town where now ii is i'm
possible almost.
believe it would be good plan
for some of our road builders to take
trip to some other state where they
have good roads and take some dots
ON road building. say to Kansas of
Western Oklahoma.
am not criticiSing. for | think we
have some good men ON our roads. hut
think we need some teaching along
these lines

They will ask for it soon be-

to buy freely; peace will soon
be declared and Germany and
Austria will then be allowed
to buy cotton. Your 1918 crop
should not be sold for less than

should bring that or more if
held.
Cut your 1919 cotton crop
one-third, plant more feed and

slogan be LESS Cotton at Bet
