GOOD PUBLIC ROADS 1 AND THEIR UPKEEP j Ruts And Holes Multiply Like Guinea Pigs h .irmers Repaid for Guard- ' ing Against Such Conditions By (T. M. Cathcart) Every farmer should take a personal pride in seeing that roads thru and by his farm are kept in good shape. It mpy sound foolish, but the only way by which farmers can have good roads thru their farms is to IOUK ill If I LliCllt uiviiiuv4>vk'. fanners that do this will be repaid many times for the time, labor and trouble, by the increased value of his farm. The County*should first build good permanent roads, and then each farmer should take it upon him' self to see that the roads thru his farm is kept in good shape at all times. Ruts apd holes multiply like Cuinea pigs, and with one hole you have another in short order, uhless they are lo<$ced after regularly, j Fill the holes with the same ki?>d of material of which the road is madeand you prevent other holes, but if you fill it with brush you have an uneaven surface which means more holes. Every bridge, root or bump that is higher than the rest of the, road has a hole on either side of it. See that all bridges, on the road thru vour farm is covered with six or eight inches of dirt and are on a level with the rest of the road. Don't work the road during wet weather, for the harder the road the better it wjll be in wet spells. Keep the road bed as hard as possible, and this can not be done by digging them up in wet weather. If the roads have to be dug up, do this in the spring of the year when they will soon settle again, and thereafter keep fhe holes filled up as fast as they are formed and we will have good roads. Don't allow the weeds and bushes to grow up on the side of the road, for this detract.- from the looks 01 your farm. Keep these mown do.'n and get a sod planted on the side of ditches which will prevent them fro' caving in and from washing. Keep your road in good shape all the time and when the county scrape cor.es along they won t tear up your s v! and throw it up in the middle of the road, thus making a rough road. After each rain drag your par' of the road with a split-log drag, and TH i is paramount recently and i No busir ize that in ev< | and that in fa riKtnmpr in t ij policy has pre \ fied customei ij Farm j Dry C I cesso | and many otb || FOR THE MOT ' It is a pi I V. J CADES, -* this will fill up the small washes, and keep the road smooth. Good roads increase the value oi your land, and save you money in many other ways. Are you wiliirr to do your part to have good roads? A Farming Program For 1920 The extension so; vice believes that a series of county conferences in those counties affected by the boll weevil should be held during the month of January for the purpose of discussing with the people the host agricultural program to be followed in the fight against the pest. Acting director D. W. Watkins has had the matter un- j der consideration for some time, and his consultations with leading people throughout thf State have led to the decision to arrange for such conferf '(PIC.S GRAZIN ences wherever desired. These county conferences will be a fitting supplement to the previous and present activities of the extension forces against the ravages of the boll weevil. The conferences will be held in such counties in the boll weevil territory as make strong requests for them. It is desired that farmers, bankers, and others join in the discussions so that full and open consideration may be had of all matters important to the j success of new agricultural ventures, i Discussions will be h^ld of money crops best suited to the soils and other conditions in each county, the growing and marketing of these crops and products of diversification, and the extension service specialists will be on hand to give all possible information and advice. But it is particularly necessary that as many as possible of j the leading people of each county j take an active part in the conference ! EPU to that of anv man c * ts application to our less ever really prosp ;ry transaction the ir ir dealing there is mi he same spirit that w >ved of common ben *s.
