Farmers from all over Crawford
county are interested in the roads
leading into Denison, and there should
be some steps taken to- make the lead
ing roads wit.lin. the corporation per-
manent. Take the road leading from
the Central station west to the Boyer
bridge. Enough is spent on this piece
of road each year trying to keep it in
condition to have made a permanent
road and had it paid for long ago. A
gentleman driving down from Schles-
wig Sunday was stalled in this piece
of road, and when he finally was pulled
out he went around by the old Wygant
farm and came in at the foot Of Broad
way. When between the Northwestern
and the Illinois Central tracks at this
place he stalled again, and of course
he was not in the best of humOr when
he finally landed upon the pavement
The road leading west of town Is
equally as bad, only it is outside the
corporation, and just west of the ILL
nois Central, in the grove. Denison
has within the past two weeks been
visited by more than one hundred
touring cars, and the Impression made
upon the occupants of these cars Is
not of the best. We don't know who
has charge of the Lincoln highway
in this county, but it would seem that
where detouring is necessary, signals
or signs ought to be placed telling the
traveller where to detour.
, Another stretch of road that is caus-
ing discussion among farmers living
southwest of Denison is the road past
the McHenry farm to what is termed
death" CROSSING. ] Before they will
vote to pave this road they will ask
that it, be changed and run on the
north side of the tracks, to avoid
crossing at two places.
The roads leading into Denison are
in frightful condition, and some:
steps ought to be taken by some one;
to see that their condition is bettered.
The past few days have been real
corn days, and the corn has apparent
ly taken advantage of the weather,
judging from the way it is growing.
OF course the rainy weather of the
past two weeks has greatly retarded
cultivating, and In good many fields
the weeds are getting pretty fair
start, but the farmer will beat them to
it yet. Small grain is doing fine, the
wheat showing splendid heads.
