Nor has there been a difficult task. The farmer does not wish to be tally to provide modern highways which “city folks” may spend automobiles. But show him good roads mean money in both and he becomes enthusiastic. And the demonstration is too difficult. There is no lack of hard figures to prove beyond a question the better the highways over crops are hauled, the less cost of hauling them. For each has been shown that on sand bushels of grain are a load horse team; on the so-called 50 bushels; on macadam bushels, and on the best grade road roads 200 bushels. It been shown that a sum equal one-third of the value of the products of the country, is expensed in hauling them to mass shipping points. This is an hundreds of millions of dollars to 40 per cent of this vast dead loss. That is to say, the tage of the cost of hauling saved if it were done over roads. And the sum thus said be sufficient to build annual lands of miles of magnificent cost of $10,000 a mile. Throughout the country when they realize the practice of good roads to them, have become earnest workers to them. It is not doubted that be the result here in San Lorenzo County.

The Farmers and Good Roads The gentlemen who took part in the meeting at the chamber of commerce yesterday, says the San Diego Union, went to the very core of the good roads question when they decided that if the movement for improved highways is to be made a success, the co-operation of Mica Axle Grease Helps the Wagon up the Hill The load seems lighter—Wagon and team wear longer—You make more money, and have more time to make money, when wheels are greased with Mica Axle Grease —The longest wearing and most satisfactory lubricant in the world. STANDARD OIL CO. Incorporated been described as "the light cavalry of the avian army." Specially adapted for flight, they have no rivals in the art of catching insects in midair, and it is to this fact that they take their prey on the wing that their peculiar value to the cotton grower is due. INSECTIVOROUS BIRDS. Other insectivorous birds adopt different methods when in pursuit of prey. Orioles alight on the cotton bolls and carefully inspect them for weevils. Blackbirds, wrens and flycatchers contribute to the good work, each in its own sphere, but when swallows are migrating over the cotton fields they find weevils flying in the open and wage active war against them. As many as forty- the cost of hauling could be it were done over first-class and the sum thus saved would ant to build annually thoustiles of magnificent road at a 20,000 a mile. without the country farmers may realize the practical value of roads to them, have quickly earnest workers to promote is not doubted that this will result here in San Diego.

Weevil to be Fed to Birds Boston, May 9.—The biologogy of the United States desires agriculture has hit upsomewhat novel method of the southern cotton planter war against the boll weevil. It is known this insect invaded of Texas several years ago damaged the cotton crop to out of millions of dollars anDespite the efforts to stay base, it is spreading at the about fifty miles a year and monally in time will extend times into all the cotton states. Survey has been investigating in Texas for several years that no fewer than thirtyspecies of birds feed upon the It is not claimed that birds can check the spread of the but it has been demonstrated they are an important help the farmer cannot afford to an appeal is made to the Other insectivorous birds adopt different methods when in pursuit of prey. Orioles alight on the cotton bolls and carefully inspect them for weevils. Blackbirds, wrens and flycatchers contribute to the good work, each in its own sphere, but when swallows are migrating over the cotton fields they find weevils flying in the open and wage active war against them. As many as forty-seven boll weevil have been found in the stomach of a cliff swallow. The idea is to increase the number of swallows, both at the north and the south. The colonies nesting in the south will destroy a greater or less number of weevils during the summer; while in the fall, after the local birds have migrated, northern-bred birds, as they pass through the southern states on their way to the tropics, will keep up the war. Anti-Trust Law Violators Washington, May 4.—After having been pushed into a corner by the government for violating the Sherman anti-trust law and when prosecution was about to begin, the Southern Pacific railway, in the hope of escaping the consequences of its acts, today notified the interstate commerce commission that it has abrogated its agreement with the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake road to maintain identical rates. It is by no means certain that it will escape prosecution. E. H. Harriman is the controlling factor in the Southern Pacific railroad and former Senator Clark of Montana built the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake line. These two roads had a long fight to secure the right of way for the road built by Clark, and as the outcome of this contest the two roads agreed to maintain the same local freight and passenger rates at all times. This was a clear violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the government now has enough evidence to secure a conviction. This agreement is one of the points developed during the investigation in New York by the interstate commerce commission of Harriman's operations in securing control of the Illinois Central railway and his operations in the Chicago and Alton and some of the an appeal is made to the farmer to aid in the work, around that the insect enemy farmer of every district is the enemy of the country, and full measure of success is to be used only through co-operation in importance to the cotton also of colonies of swallows sized, and the best means using their numbers in the states is set forth. The foremost of the useful against the boll weevil are As is well known, these birds consists almost only of insects, and hence to culturalist they are among useful of birds.

This was a clear violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the government now has enough evidence to secure a conviction. This agreement is one of the points developed during the investigation in New York by the interstate commerce commission of Harriman's operations in securing control of the Illinois Central railway and his operations in the Chicago and Alton and some of the stock transactions involved in it. Notice of the abrogation of the agreement was given the interstate commerce commission by R. S. Lovett, general counsel for the Southern Pacific road, with headquarters at New York. The reason given for the abrogation of the agreement to maintain rates is that the legislature of California, at its last session, adopted a law making such agreements within California illegal. But the interstate commerce commissioners are by no means certain that this is the real and only reason. The two roads have known for months that the government has been gathering evidence in this case, which is now practically made out. The facts will be turned over to the department of justice and there are strong probabilities that a prosecution will be made. Attention! Your druggist should be an experienced man.
