County and township officials may at the outset stand the expense of having a road built, but they strenuously object when asked to provide funds to rebuild the road that has been allowed to go to ruin. It is important that farmers learn of the benefits to be derived from good earth roads; that county boards be impressed with the need of a proper maintenance of the same, and that road builders and overseers learn how best to care for the roads in their charge. The persistent and powerful enemies of earth roads are water and narrow tires, and the constant effort of the men in charge of the roads should be to guard against their destructive effects and remedy all damage as quickly as possible. The simple implements which have found to be of greatest assistance in this work are the plow, the drag scraper, the wheel scraper, the road grader and the split-log drag. With a sandy soil and a subsoil of clay, or clay and gravel, deep plowing so as to raise and mix the clay with the surface soil, will prove hare is better adapted to such hauls of more than 800 should be used. The machine most general road work is the grader, chine. This machine is useful in smoothing and on road and in opening ditches subsoil under a thin coil should not be disturbed by it. It is also a mistake to use discriminately and to pull from ditches upon a sand infrequently turf, soil and ditch bottoms are piled in the road in a ridge, making a certainty. It is important grader to avoid building too much at one time. Usually built up by frequent grader will last better pleted at one operation. Frequently thinks his rood high in the first instance. Material from 10 inches depth only to learn, with the first rain, that he has material for as many inches All material should be by thin layers, each layer w and firmly packed by rood before the next is added. mistake is to crown too hard road machine on a narrow.

Turner of Santa Ana ed from a trip through where he has been looking market. Mr. Turner has s of dried chili on hand and not found satisfactory sal he took a trip up north men in charge of the roads should be to guard against their destructive effects and remedy all damage as quickly as possible. The simple implements which have found to be of greatest assistance in this work are the plow, the drag scraper, the wheel scraper, the road grader and the split-log drag. With a sandy soil and a subsoil of clay, or clay and gravel, deep plowing so as to raise and mix the clay with the surface soil and sand will prove beneficial. The combination forms a sand-clay road at a trifling expense. On the other hand, if the road be entirely of sand a mistake will be made if it is plowed unless clay can be added. Such plowing would merely deepen the sand, and at the same time break up the small amount of hard surface material which may have formed. If the subsoil is clay and the surface scant in sand or gravel, plowing should not be resorted to, as it would result in a clay surface rather than one of sand or gravel. A road foreman must know not only what to plow and what not to plow, but how and when to plow. If the road is of the kind which according to the above instructions should be plowed over its whole width, the best method is to run the first furrow in the middle of the road and work out to the sides, thus forming a crown. Results from such plowing are greatest in the spring or early summer. In ditches a plow can be used to good advantage, but should be followed by a scraper or grtder. To make wide, deep ditches nothing better than the ordinary drag scraper has yet been devised. For hauls under 100 feet, or in making "fills" it is especially serviceable. It is a mistake, however, to attempt to handle long haul material with this scraper, as the wheel scraper Turner on Chili Pea J. A. Turner of Santa Ana died from a trip through where he has been looking market. Mr. Turner has sold of dried chili on hand and not found satisfactory sales; he took a trip up north to market conditions. He gave gloomy report as to the chili when questioned by the Blank result of his trip. He said Fresno, Stockton, Sacramento, Berkeley, Alameda, Francisco. He succeeded in some chili but the price satisfactory. When asked was, in his opinion, the depression in the chili said there was a number oftended to depress the market which was over production there was enough chili raiI to supply the market for two that many of the dealers still chili on hand. He also found demand for dried chili had very materially in all the places. San Francisco before the sumed large quantities o since then the demand has limited. He thinks the case many green chili has affecte ket. He also says that these of two years ago stimulated try to such an extent that grown more or less chili a state, notably at Stockton, were large quantities of chili. Arizona, Colorado and N which have heretofore been principally from California using large quantities of ch Mexico, the dealers claimi of a better flavor and more than the California chili. Mr. Turner says that he would advise those wanting to raise chili to plant more of the Mexican seed as there will be more ready for them. He has had considerable experience in chili growing and claims there is nothing in raising chili for canning purposes at $20 to $22 50 per ton, as the canners take nothing but the extra fine chili, leaving all the small and late chili on the growers' hands. These are hard to dispose of at any price. Taking the situation as he sees it, the chili grower has a gloomy prospect ahead of him until the markets are cleaned up of the large surplus now on hand, of which there appears to be enough to supply all the demand for another season. The chili blight, or whatever it may be called, is another serious drawback as many growers lost nearly the entire crop last season and all the fields were more or less affected. None of the growers appear to understand why or what it is. The vines appear thrifty, but the chili curls up and drops off or does not make any growth and is worthless for either canning or dried chili. Some of the growers are of opinion that the planting of chili on the same land year after year has developed the blight and the only way to get rid of it is to rotate the crops, as they have to do with potatoes in order to get rid of the scab as the ground appears to become infected. FRANCE PLANTS FORESTS France has given the world many valuable lessons in forestry. One of the most interesting articles in recent consular reports is the description of the reclamation of sand dunes and marshes by the department of the Landes in the south of France, and the high returns from the cultivation of pine there. Comprising about two and a half million acres of what were barren sand dunes prior to 1803, this area has been reclaimed by forest plantation until it has become one of the most productive and healthful regions of For adapted to such work. For more than 800 feet a wagon be used. The machine most generally used in work is the grader, or road machine. This machine is especially in smoothing and crowning the road in opening ditches. A clay under a thin coating of soil cannot be disturbed by the grader. To a mistake to use a grader inimately and to pull material ditches upon a sand-clay road.ently turf, soil and silt from bottoms are piled in the middle of a ridge, making mudholes plenty. It is important in using a grader to avoid building up the road much at one time. A road graduated up by frequent use of the will last better than if com-put one operation. The foreman really thinks his road must be the first instance. He piles up all from 10 inches to a foot in only to learn, with the arrival of rain, that he has furnished the rail for as many inches of mud. Serial should be brought up in racks, each layer well puddled only packed by roller or traffic the next is added. A common is to crown too high with the machine on a narrow road. split log drag should be used to cruts and smooth the road when badly washed. The drag pos-great merit and is so simple in action and operation that every should have one. A special will be published later telling make and use the drag. Turner on Chili Peppers Turner of Santa Ana has return-a trip through California, he has been looking up the chili Mr. Turner has several tons chili on hand and as he had satisfactory sale for them, a trip north to look into consular reports is the description of the reclamation of sand dunes and marshes by the department of the Landes in the south of France, and the high returns from the cultivation of pine there. Comprising about two and a half million acres of what were barren sand dunes prior to 1803, this area has been reclaimed by forest plantation until it has become one of the most productive and healthful regions of the republic. The underground drainage of the country has been changed by the roots of the trees penetrating the layer of clay which under-lies the sand. In addition to supplying timber this area supports a number of turpentine, rosin, tar, pitch, charocal and other products of similar nature. In the systems by which the forest is managed so that early returns are obtained, the trees are divided into two classes: the "short life" trees and the "standing" trees. Former are tapped as soon as they are big enough to stand "bleeding," about four or five inches in diameter, and when they are bled to death they are removed as "thinnings," the wood being used for pit props, the English demand guaranteeing a steady and profitable market. The second class, composed of the most vigorous individuals, are not tapped until they are about 10 to 15 inches in diameter. The age of these trees when they are felled is from fifty to sixty years. The timber is used for lumber poles and railway ties. Of these forests, about 80 per cent belongs to individuals, while from the 125,000 acres belonging to the government there was obtained as revenue in 1905, $98,811 as against $640 in 1885, the first year in which any revenue was obtained.

At the annual meeting of the ladies Turner on Chili Peppers Turner of Santa Ana has returned to a trip through California, where he has been looking up the chili. Mr. Turner has several tons of chili on hand and as he had and satisfactory sale for them, a trip up north to look into the conditions! He gave a rather report as to the chili industry, questioned by the Blade as to the history of his trip. He said he was in Stockton, Sacramento, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and San Francisco. He succeeded in disposing of chili but the price was notory. When asked as to what this opinion, the cause of the turn in the chili market, he were a number of causes that depress the market, chief of gas over production. He said he enough chili raised in 1906 by the market for two years and any of the dealers still had 1906 hand. He also found that the dried chili had fallen off materially in all the places visited. Francisco before the fire con- large quantities of chili but then the demand has been very high.
