Farmer Can Construct
Practical Road Drag

Every farmer should have a road
drag. There is no excuse for not hay-
Ing one when it can be had with so
little cost. Good road drags may be
purchased or made at home.
On almost any farm some old plank
can be found. Get two pieces Of
plank, oak If you can find it; 3 inches
thick if it can be had; if not, 2 inches
thick will be all right; 8 or 10 inches
wide and 6 or feet long. Three-inch
plank is best as 1t is much heavier
and will stand more heavy usage.
You will also need two pieces of 2 by
3 or 3 by 4 preferably, if it can be
had, feet long. Some good tough
wood Is best.
Make these like illustration B. Bore
five One-half inch holes in each as IL
lustrated; one to be about inches
from the end, with second one 3
inches or inches from that inward,
according to the thickness of your two
large pieces Of plank. At the other
end bore one hole about 3 to 4 inches
from the end, this hole to be used to
hold clevis pin for the hitch. Bore an
other hole 6 inches from this end of
the piece, and a third hole or 3
inches inward from the second ac-
cording to the thickness of the large
pieces of plank used.
In each of the large pieces of plank
make two holes as in Illustration A,
one at each end 21a inches from top
edge of the plank. One hole should
be 10 inches from the end, the other
16 inches from the end; make these

Details of Practical Drag.

holes so your two 3-foot pieces will
slip into them easily. You will also
need eight old bolts, one-half inch in
diameter and or 7 inches long, these
to go into holes in the 3-foot pieces.
Put together as in illustration G,
having one plank with long end at one
end, and other piece with short end
at same end; slip in the 3-foot cross
pieces, drive bolts in front and behind
the large piece through all the holes
but the two for the clevis, having the
end of each cross piece containing the
the three holes toward front. Get two
clevises and put in the remaining
holes.
1t will require about one-half days
time to make this drag, and cost you
nothing for material If you can find
the plank and old bolts on the farm.
But even if you must purchase these
1t Is well worth having If you only
need to use it on driveway and lanes,
However, there are thousands of
miles of roads that would be improved
wonderfully if the farmers along those
roads spent but a few hours occasion
ally in pulling drag over them.
You can give your road drag longer
life by mailing q piece of angle iron
on the lower front edge Of the plank
as shown in illustration A. Nail a
few boards across the top to stand on
while using the drag. These can be
nailed on the upright planks, from
front to back plank, or can be nailed
on the cross-pieces, lengthwise. Either
place will be all right. You can then
ride on it and help to hold it down
when extra weight Is needed.

New England during the last ten
years"
Mr.. Tilley touched on death rates.
The death rate statistics of the
United States census are nothing
short of sensational" he said. Take
the six New England States and place
alongside them six Southern States
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mis-
sssipPi, North Carolina and South
Carolina. Average death rate of the
Two groups is as follows. Southern
States. white, Il; black II; New
England States, white, ID black, 18.
IF there is in these "pest-ridden'
Southern States an eleven per cent
white death rate, as compared with
fourteen per cent for New England;
if the negro death rate for the South
ern States is seventeen per cent, as
compared with New England's eigh
teen per cent. it would seem that it
Is high time that there should, be an
end of propaganda as to the rela-
tive unhealthfulness of the South.
"The South has comes a long dis.
lance since 1880. There is a long
way to go before it can be hoped
to regain the lost prestige of the an
tebellum period. Everything con-
s;dered, remarkable progress has
been made under adverse conditions.
Slowly but unquestionably it is emer-
ging from the shadow.
The South is possessed of marvel
Gus agricultural possibilities. It's
manufacturing projects are showing
a steady growth. 1t is challenging
the cotton mill supremacy of New
England. Immense deposits of iron,
granite, and marble are found within
its borders. 1t has a coal area
twice as large as that of Europe.
Three-fQurth of the country's cox
ing coal area is here. 1t has a mono.
poly of cotton and turpentine pro-
duction. 1t is rich in timber. 1t pro-
duces more sulphur, aluminium, fer
tllizer. graphite, petroleum, mica, and
phophate rock than all the rest of the
country combined. The exports from
five leading Southern ports in 1921
were five times the value of ex-
ports from all Pacific coast ports It's
water power resources are practically
unlimited. Giant power plants are
under construction. It's educational
facilities are being revolutionized
Recent developments in Alabama
have attracted the attention of the
nation. It's illiteracy is fast decreas-
ing. It's people are inspired by the
light of a now hope.
''The South is marching forward,
confident of its ability to do greater
things than it has ever done, hopeful
of the near approach of a better
day than it has ever known"

which may be said to mark the he
ginning of the South's material re-
Nuisance, then ascertain the per-
Ieentage of increase since shown bv
the South as compared with the cor
responding increase credited to the
country at large.
The figures tell the following
story; On the basis of increase be-
tween 1880 and 1920, the South has
made, in many fields, a far better
showing than the rest Of the country.
10 mention few details: In ex-
lpenditures for public schools, the
South increased 1000 per cent, as
against LOO per cent for the Unit
ed States as whole; in the cotton
mill industry, 2,100 per cent, as
against 220 per cent; in production
of lumber, 433 per cent, as against
83 per cent; in the value of mineral
production, 12,500 percent as against
LOO per cent; in coal production,
$500 per cent, as against 500 per
cent; IN the value of farm crops, 700
per cent, as against 600 per cent; in
railroad mileage, 27O per cent, as
against ITO per cent; in national
bank deposits, $500 per cent, as
against 1,400 per cent.
This record should send a thrill
throughout the South and should
supply food for thought on the part
of those who have revelled in telling
the world that a section which was
ruined and bankrupted fifty years
ago does not yet march abreast
section which came through the
sixties unscatched.
THE critic never tires of dealing
with the question of illiteracy.
There is no blinking the fact that
the South's showing in this field has
been far from satisfactory. Here
again it is submitted that it is I'M
fair to compare illiteracv without
probing deeply into the matter.
at will be we'll to take some years
after the devastated and starved
section was beginning to get on its
feet, then to ascertain the relative
Improvement since shown by the re-
spective sections.
"From the census figures, it APP
pears that in 1920 the percentage
of illiteracy of native born whites
for New England was 0.6, while
that of the East South Central
States (including Alabama) was ga.
The contrast is depressing, particul-
arly when the figures are being
dealt with by hostile hands.
But with close scrutiny of the
census figures since 1900, a radically
different contrast looms up. 1t APP
pears that the New England States
reduced their illiteracy from 90 in
1900 TO or in 1910 to 0.6 in 1920.
The East South Central States re-
duced their illiteracy from 1876 in
1900 to 9.6 in 1920 to GA in, 1920.
In 1900, they were Is times as IL
literate as New England; in 1871,
only 10 times as illiterate. A story
is thus told which is not nearly SO
we'll adapted to the purposes OF the
critics of the South.
with an incomparably heavier
load to carry, it would seem that the
people of the East South Central
states have, during the period indi-
Gated, travelled considerably farther
than have their neighbors of New
ENGLAND. The record Of crippled
horse carrying a load of three hun
bred pounds IS hardly to be compar-
cd with that of horse carrying
ninety pounds. The figures indicate
that little progress has been made IN

Letters like these testify to the value
of the Vegetable Compound. These

they can their conditions: First, those

spicuously; and later the disappearance

in the country today is toward
breaking up into small self-govern-
ing states With but nominal tie to
Belgrade s.nd King Alexander, and
away from centralized power.
Bookseller Is Leader
The leader of the separatists, or
those who clamor for autonomy, is
a bookseller in Zagreb, named Ra-
ditch. You can remember it because
it is pronounced almost exactly like
the little red vegetable you have on
your table these spring days. And
you should remember it for it is
going to figure in Balkan history if
he remains on the scene.
Raditch is the leader of the Croats
And the Croats, who live in modern
northwestern Serbia, like most peo-
pie in this part of the world, are
peasants and very close to the soil.
So when not behind the counter
of his bookshop in Zagreb, Raditch
may be seen dressed in peasant cos
tume-sandals, embroidered stock
ings and all-making speeches to his
Croat followers or talking to them
in the fields and in their own dia-
lect.
Here in Belgrade. Raditch is called
a self-seeker; a bag of wind; char
latan; demagogue. They say he
drives out of Zagreb in a high-pow-
cred motor car and changes into
peasant costume just before reach
ing his destination.
Priest in Fight
In Zagreb they say he is a patriot
and very much in earnest. And to
prove they really think what they
say. the Raditch. or Croat, party in
the March elections made terrific
gains, dealing a blow to the old
Serb, or governing bloc.
The Croats had only so deputies
in the old parliament out of total
of AIT members. Today they have
70 out of a reduced total of 313.
The radicals Premier Pashitch's
party-and democrats together had
1873 members in the old house. They
have but 159 in the new While the
radicals won 16 seats the democrats
lost 40, thanks partly to bitter fight
made on them by the radicals. Sc
il is not expected the two parties will
work together so wen now when 50
much may depend upon it.
The Slovenes are led by priest,
Father Koroshetz. The Bosnians,
who have made common cause with
the Croats and Slevenes for political
purposes, have % members. With
the clericals % and the others who
may be expected to join with them
against the govermnet, they form
dangerous bloc.
Religion enters largely into the
fight. The Serbs are Greek Ortho-
lox. The Croats and Slovenes are
atholic. According to the latest
igures there were 100000 Ortho.
lox and 4,475, 900 Roman Catholics,
$4,000 Bosnians and about 100000
others in the country. The Ortho-
lox have not a very great majority
none, if the other unite against
them.
Raditch says he is a republican
but is willing for Croatia to remain
inside Serbia as now defined provid
,ng she is given full autonomy. He
would Ike a republic in Croatia and
a kingdom in Serbia, the two being
bound together about as Austria and
Hungary formerly were.
Koroshetz would like SloYenia to
be State within Serbian union.
