ADVOCATES sTRAwING ROADS

Strawing of the Walla Walla county
roads is now being advocated again
by many farmers and business men
who know the advantages and bene-
fits OF thus improving the dusty high
ways of this county.
Asked his opinion of road straw
ing, Deputy States Engineer Hamil-
ton stated that it was a fine thing and
did a great deal of good at very little
expense. They straw most all the
roads in Franklin, Benton and Adams
counties at very little cost and yet we
waste more straw in the stubble than
all of the grain raised in Franklin
county" he said.
This kind Of road improvement
has been a great success in many
counties and in a wheat country like
this l am surprised that so little
straHing is done, Bulletin.

R. H. Goodin secretary of the state

chimes will do the work of six horses.
The tractors will be equipped with

WHAT FIRE DOES.
