testing for acidity all samples sent in
by farmers and making a complete re-
port as to how much lime is needed.
In cases where sofls are very sour IN
formation is being sent the farmers
as to how much lime should be ap-
piled. Where is can be secured and
at about what price. The only re-
quirement that is made of farmers
in having their soils tested is that they
take the sample carefully. This is
best done by using n spade and TAX
ing a sample of the surface seven
inches in three or four places in the
field which they wish tested, mixing
these samples and sending a half
pound of the mixture in clean box
or can.
The difficulty which farmers have
been having in growing red clover in
Missouri is partly due to soil acidity.
Every farmer who is interested in
getting better stand Of clover should
have his soil tested for acidity.

RUST APP
PEARS IN MISSOURI

Specimens of blackberry rust are
being received by the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture from
many parts of Missouri with the re-
quest that the disease be identified and
control measures recommended. This
disease is one of the most common up
on blackberries, affecting both wild
and cultivated plants. There is no
mistaken its identity. When the
outbreak is bad it results in more or
less complete retaliation of the plants,
and serious reduction in, or even entire
loss, Of the crop. Unfortunately there
is no Spraying treatment that is very
Elective against it. Infected plants
should be cut out and burned as soon
as the disease puts in it's appearance,
thus checking its spread to the healthy
ones. If blackberry plantation be-
comes badly infected it is best to pillow
it up and start over again on diff
ferent piece of ground with disease
free stock. Some varities are much
more susceptible to the disease than
others and this should always be taken
into consideration when making a Sc
lection for new planting.

WHO WANTS TO GO
BACK-TO-THE-LAND?

After the Civil War we had the
homestead law, and then came the
timber and stone acts. In those days
when agriculture was promoted be-
cause it was the backbone of the Ma
ton every measure intended to aid
the farmer and to make new farmers,
was pushed to the limit. The greatest
concern nowadays appears to be in
building good roads for automobiles
and in finding new ways so that the
farmer can live in town and enjoy
community life." All this is well
enough, but the fact remains that the
country is dropping behind in agri-
culture. There is lot of enthusiasm
for the cash bonuses for soldiers but
none at all for plans that will be fur
nished substantial assistance to young
men, who if aided, might join in a
back to the-land movement.

Phoenix, Sept 11-How to connect
Jerome, the center of one of the most
important copper mining districts Of
Arizona, with Prescott, the county
seat Of Yavapai and metropolis of
northern Arizona, was the problem
which confronted the State Highway
department on January 6, 1919, when
the present administration took
charge
Some said it couldn't be done. Some
said that it would not be done and
others opined that it might be done
some day but not right away. There
were too many mountains in the way,
too many precipitous grades to over
come, too much admantine rock to
blast away through to make anything
like a direct route seem possible or
probable.
Today the Prescott Jerome highway
is reality. With the opening Of the
new route to travel last week it is
now possible to motor between the
two towns in two hours or better, or
in less than half the time to negotiate
the distance over the old highway
route via Lynch creek, Dewey, Cherry
creek hill and Verde valley. That
route is 62 miles in length-the new
one 80 miles.
There remains some four or five
miles of construction yet to be com
pleted on the Prescott END but access
to the remaining portion of the high
way is had over local roads while the
finishing touches are being made to
the permanent road into Prescott.
Some surfacing will also be required
to make the new highway a finished
mountain boulevard but with plenty of
state equipment on hand this work is
now under way now that the heavy
construction has been completed.
The new route is replete with
scenic attractions. Traveysing the

forts and forces were doubled to
make up for lost time.
With the exception of approximate
ly >one-fourth mile which was finished
by Contractor Galbraith, the remain
der of the work has been done by
state forces on the day labor plan,
this being necessary because of the
inability to secure contractors to bid
on this class of construction, although
it was advertised many times.
The highway was originally sur
veyed by Earl Parker under Jack
Yeager, chairman of the Yavapai
county supervisors, himself an engi-
neer. When the work was taken over
by the state this survey was changed
to some extent by Engineer Wolfe.
The route was shortened to some ex-
tent and all of the ten per cent grades
were reduced to the state standard

the Deception gulch grade which
were put in to develop elevation.
Care has been taken in the con-
struction Of these turns to make them
as safe as possible, and to this end
distractions to the view have been
removed, thus providing good vision
to the driver in rounding those two
sharp curves.
The project has been financed by

together with federal aid, which has
been applied for to the total amount
Of $280,000. The states and county's
share will exceed this amount, the
excess being due to the fact that the
cost of construction is some cases
exceeded the federal maximum of
$4,000 per mile.
Incidentally the construction of the
Prescott-Jerome highway affords an
interesting commentary on the ad-
vancement Of civilization in Arizona.

trict the Apache Indians were bent on

stem the advance of civilization, as

For many years Clarkdale and Je.

The Prescott-Jerome highway was
started shortly before the election of
1918 but little was accomplished until
the beginning of Governor Campbell 8
administration, and then the dirt be.
gan to fly and with the exception of
wet weather il has been flying ever
since. Governor Campbell is a for.
mer resident of both Jerome and
Prescott and understanding deeply the
necessity for this road as prime fac
tor in the development Of aYvapa1
county and the state, has done every
thing possible to advance construc
ton.
The construction was placed under
| the direction of E. A. Wolfe, former
division engineer of the State High
way department, upon his return from
overseas service, and he was ably as
sisted by w: ]. Jamison as locating
engineer and Engineers Piper and
Davis of the department.
