BIGGER AND BETTER ROADS
Something new in the building of dirt roads is being
tried in Sherman county. First experiment was tried last
year when the county crew graded three or four mile« of
mad between the Boardman and Rutledge neighborhood«.
The new method is to use almost the entire road way for
the road, grading all the dirt into the road. When finished
it looks like a highway, there is enough material to smooth
up small depressions and knolls and the road is always
wide enough to give the snow a chance to blow off and

IT’S SNOWING
There probably exists within this county some persons
who have seen it snow during the month of April almost
year since they began observing climate conditions.
Yet, it always brings something of a start to finb snow fall
ing after spring has been duly announced by the calendar.
Certainly the past week would make a calendar maker
think he had made a mistake in his calculations. Snow has
fallen nearly every day, not much to be sure, but enough to
cover the ground at some time during the day or night.
Farmers protests that it keeps them out of the fields, and it
does. However, any wheat farmers will cheerfully stay with

The government is only borrowing $50,000,000 per week

may be a ‘profit’ on soma financial dealings.
The new board of agriculture, as listed, does not contain
a man who is primarily interested in wheat. This is un
