The Oklahoma state legislature, by
making a special appropriation of $40,-

Good Roads Like This Bring Farmer
Nearer to City Markets.

What are the things to be considered
in locating the road? What grade"
should be maintained? How should
the road be drained? What are the
laws governing highway construction?
There are a few questions answered
country roads.
Matters of prime consideration in
locating road are: Easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination Of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number of farms to
be served for a given length of road.
Whenever possible to avoid it, q good
location should not be rejected merely
because certain roadway has been in
use for some time. If the location Of
a used road is bad it should be
changed if possible. In relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings at grades.
The grade of the road is important
for on this depends the weight of the
load which can be hauled economically.
By grade is meant the rise or fall in
feet for each 100 feet in horizontal
length Of road, usually expressed in
percentage. A 5 per cent grade means
that the road rises or falls 5 feet each
100 feet along it's center line. It has
been calculated that on smooth coun-
try road the load that one horse could
pull on level would require two on a
8 per cent grade, three on 10 per cent
grade and four on 10 per cent grade.
Engineers usually figure a per cent
grade as a maximum.
Road work in Missouri has not been
as well managed as other public work.
Projects have been too narrowly linn
tied to localities, resulting in frag
mentary effort. Skilled locating and
supervision of construction have been
generally lacking. The remedies are:
First, a wider cooperation and the
adoption of broad schemes of improve
ment, preferably with units no smaller
than counties. Second, the absolute
elimination of political considerations
in the spending of money. Third, Sc
curing good engineering advice in the
preparation of plans and requiring
careful engineering supervision of con-
structiOn.

REPAIR OF PASTURE FENCES
Little Time Spent in Replacing Weak
Posts and Tightening Wires Will
Prove Profitable.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Advantage should be taken Of the
first lull in farm work to inspect and
repair pasture fences. A little time
spent from time to time throughout
the season in replacing weak posts,
tightening or splicing of wire and driv-
ing an occasional staple may save
much trouble later when the pasture
becomes short and the cattle are
tempted by crops in nearby fields. A
strong fence discourages cattle from
attempting to break out, while few
successful attempts may make regular
fence breakers of them. If plenty of
water and salt are provided and
fences are kept in repair, usually little
trouble will be experienced unless the
pasture becomes very short and the
cattle are lured by other fields.

ROAD "
BUILDING
BENEFITS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Among Other Things They Cheaper
Cost of transportation of Farm
Products to Market.

Good roads promote self-respect in
a community. They make possible
social intercourse. They bring the
benefits of churches and schools with
in the reach of all. They help to keep
the boys on the farm. They cheaper
the cost of transportation of farm
products to the markets and thus add
to the farm profits. They add to the
value of farm lands much more than
they cost. They mark the degree of
civilization of the rural community.
This, in short, is the value of good
roads as seen by the extension service
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture.
The building Of good roads is of the
greatest Importance to a community.
What kind of a road should be built?
OF what should it be constructed?

PREVENT BIG LOSS OF GRAIN
Poor Work of Binder, Scattering Dur
ing Shocking and Faulty Separator
Are Causes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Under average conditions the loss of
grain during harvest is far greater
than is generally supposed by the av-
erage farmer. Poor work on the part
of the binder, SCATTERING during shock
ing and hauling, faulty work of the
separator, and minor losses at the ma
chine result in a waste of millions of
bushels every year. With a guaran-
teed price every farmer is offered an
incentive to reduce such losses to a
minimum this season. See that the
binder is in good working order,
handle the bundles carefully, using a
tight floor or canvas on the wagon in
hauling, and a demand by the farmer
that the separator do efficient work
will save many dollars worth of grain
as well as add to the pocketbook Of
the farmer.
