WASTING MONEY ON ROADS

A writer in the Indiana Farmers
Guide says there has been money
enough wasted on the roads in the
last half century. to surface with
gravel or rock every road and pig
path in the state.
He would have each county hire q
competent road supervisor at a good
salary, and have road work done by
farmers, as . means Of working out
taxes, and doing some permanent coma
struction each year.
He would have every farmer equip
himself with road drag, and drag
the roads near his place at times
fixed by the county surveyor. He
claims that 20 hours q year from each
farmer in his spare time, would keep
unimproved roads in good condition
until they can be permanently con-
structed,

988, 6O2 acres, of which amount ap-
proximately 1900, 900 acres il leased.
This means that less than 800, 600
acres of state land is at present va
cant and producing no revenue. The
revenue received during the period
from the lease Of agricultural lands
was about $673,000, while the total
purchase price Of the land sold was
about $3,354,00O. The general adj
vance in the price of farm lands in
the past four years and at the gen.
eral increase in agricultural develop
ment during the same period is strong
ly emphasized by the report.
Figures now being compiled by the
State immigration Department for
the 1921 edition of the Colorado Year
Book show that 44.41 percent of the
land in the state is patented, COM
pared with 1921 percent a year ago.
The amount of homestead land re-
naming open to entry is now 1854
percent of the total area of the state,
compared with 1917 percent a wear
ago. The area of national forests
is practically unchanged, while the
acreage Of state land has decreased
from 4.61 percent of the area to $50
percent. The amount Of land on the
tax rolls in 1920 increased more than
during any recent year, though con-
siderably more than one-half of the
states area is still unpatented and
pays no taxes. Nearly one-sixth of
the states area is now in process of
transfer from the state or federal
government to private owners, be-
ing homestead land not yet proved
up or state land not yet fully paid
for and therefore not patented.

PLAN FOR DIFFERENTIATION
OF PESTS
EdiSor The Oakley Herald:


Edisor The Oakley Herald;
Some weeks ago l was appointed
, one of a committee to help extermi-
nate the pests that infest this
die the rabbits.
At a demonstration meeting i was
furnished ten ounces of strychnine,
to be sold to the farmers at half
price, IS cents an ounce.
price, S5 cents an ounce. Here is the
formula for poisoning rabbits: Dis
solve l ounce of -strychnine in l
gallon of boiling water; add / gallon
warm water; mix thoroughly with
ten pounds of alfalfa leaves. After
a snow storm distribute the alfalfa
leaves around tire rabbit trails and
feeding grounds. Care must be ta-
ken to put the poison where stock
will not get it.
Out of two patches that | have
put out / have killed hundreds of
rabbits.
Now here is something more the
state is willing to do for us. Some
time in February, if we will all get
together, at some one place, at a
specified time, and bring the amount
of oats we will need to poison the
ground squirrels, the county agent
at Burley will come and mix for
mula for killing squirrels. He will
bring all of the materials needed,
charging only for the actual cost of
ii.
Gentlemen, / plead with you TO
sense what the state is willing 20
do to help the farmers rid them
selves of these pests. 1t requires a
united effort to get results.
We are growing too many jack
rabbits, squirrels, tumble weeds and |
Russian thistles. Let's get busy and |
grow the best of some things. Too |
few of us Oakley farmers specialize |
in the profitable crops. We need |
a more competitive spirit. This is a
age, when we should |
know a little about many things and |
all about some one thing.

camp to the tune of 40 to 28.
The score at the end of the first
half was is to IA in favor of Oakley
and the start of the second half
gave promise of a close contest.
However, Oakley's team work, which
was rather ragged during the first
half, improved wonderfully, and the
Twin Falls boys were completely
outclsssed.
Newman at forward and Nafziger
at center played the best game for
the visitors, while Harper's sensa-

The good attendance at the game
indicates revival of the Oakley
spirit OF earlier days.
The game was unusually free of
roughness and marked by clean
work on both sides.
Coach Nafzigas of the High
school team started in at center but
was replaced by Taylor in the sec
ond half.
The Oakley team made shift in
the second half. S. Clark who
returned just before the end of the
first, went in at forward in the sec
