That the resident* of Washing-, ton are not alone in thinking their light and water plant is the best equipped in the state is shown bv ? letter which was sent by Warren H. Booker, chief of the State Health Department to Gilbert C. White of Charlotte, the engineer who installed the local plant. The letter reads as follow-1^ Mr. Gilbert C. White, Charlotte, N. C. My doar Mr. White: ? We were just over to Washing ton recently and took a few min" ^ites off to go out to see the now water and light plant. Tt is the best plant, the best equipped, the most modern plant I have seen in this State. It-is certainly a cred it to any town, even several times the size of Wa'shingtdu. They were filtering 6ome -of the water out of the plant wHen T was there and I think by the last of th week they will, in all probability be pumping the water into t?.wn town. We advised them to send samples of this water to the LaJ>o ratot^* for analysis, and as sew the Laboratory finds the water is O. K. T presume they will pro ceed to use it.

Chief of Bureau Mr. Booker was in Wasliimr ton during the early pan of la montlL 1 SOIL EROSION IN THE SOUTH | Other Crops Mutt Be Grown Than Those f^equiMng Clean Culture, as Do Cotton and Tobaceo. The following statement regarding soil erosion in the South Is taken from the an Dual report of the bureau of soils of the department: 'In a study of soil erosion in the South it has been found that large areas are lost to agriculture annually through erosion. In some st&tee %ast areas, amounting to as much as 50 ..per cent of the arable land of these sections, have been abandoned. The character of the erosion varies with the type of soil. Usually, on the heavy clay soils, "sheet" or surface erosion Is found. With Increasing proportion of sand In the soil the ero sion changes to the "shoestring" type, then to the gully type, with rounded edges, and Anally to the gullies with caving sides. The most rapid erosion seems to occur in soils having a layer of silt or clay at the surface and a substratum of sand. This condition usually leads to erosion of the deep gully type, which is difficult to check and unprofitable to reclaim. / "All methods for prevention end control are based either on increasing the capacity for absorbing the water aa It falls, or on decreasing the veloc ity of_the run -off. A new method in use In one locality Is the construction of what 'are known as 'chrlatophers,' the distinctive feature of this plan ly ing In the manner of disposing of storm waters. Across an Incipient gully is built a dam, through which Ut pa seed a sewer plpo connected with an upright pipe on the upper nltle of the dam. Water fills the valley ttntil it reaches the top of the upright pipe, and then flows down this pipe In the next field. The water left standing below the mouth of the upright pipe I* gradually removed by a tile drain. It Is also demonstrated In the South that other Orops must be grown thao those requiring elean, culture, aa do cotton, corn and tobecoo." Keep the Horse Busy. The horse Is an Inexpensive animal to feed and consequently should be kept busy all the tlmj If possible If tfeia cannot be done then he should be fed aa oheaply aa possible.

IMPETUS TO ROAD BUILDING tiecr*t of Maintaining Country High way Lies In Keeping It Well Rounded Up and Drained. Over a good road, we can ha>.:l prod 'lets to market at any season of the year and get full benefit or the highest prices. It Is a simple matter to build | A good country roa<L as It Is not abso ?itely necessary Vat It abould be :iullt of gravel or crushed stone. The lecret of the maintaining of the coun try road lies in keeping It well round ed up and sufficiently drained, by ar f-nrging It so that the road Ik about a, foot higher In the middle than It Is at the edges. A good dirt road well maintained Is not an expensive proposition, writes Eugene J. Hall of Oak Park, III., In ?^rmers' Review. Shortly after every heavy rainfall It ahould be dragged with a split-log drag. This will fill all of tho ruts and depressions and produce a smooth surface well round ed up In tho middle of the highway. After being rounded up with a split log ^rag, jjthe roada are made Arm Donvlct-Bullt Bridge In Colorado ? Stones Were Taken From Nearby Hillside and Result la Ornamental na Well ai Economical. ? md solid by meann of a heavy roller or ayatem of roller*. Thla will leave | i firm, solid roadbed which will not ?ie seriously Injured by heavy traffic. This ayHtem of road building In being followed In many partu of the West with splendid nuoooss. When rflta Mid holes are formed In s road, the Jolt and Jar of the whsal makes thera deeper forms a pocket for holdlni wawfrom ths Aral rainfall. Thli softens the roadbed and deep tmid bole* sre soon formed, wbtla If tbara bad been no ruta or deprssslone there and the rood bad been well rounded up, tba water would have run off Into ths dltohss on elthar aide, and the surface of the road would be firm and In perfect condition. Another good thing worthy of care ful consideration In the building of our Rood country roads Is that of^he con struction of permanent anVtastlng culverts. Culverts built of stone or concrete cost m ?*? than wooden , bridges, but they will last a hundred yearn, and they will not mat or need repainting every year, an Iron truss bridges do In the end, they are the mont economical kind of viaducts. The advent of the automobile and Us employment by the more prosper ous class of farmers has given a great impetus to road building, too) and the time Is coming when we will ha*? more and more good rpadp in tra wlddl# West. \ JflS.

FEED THE DAIRY COWS WELL Cottonseed It Convenient Feed in Texas ana Oklahoma to Bal ance Sorghum and Silage. 'By H. M. COTTRELL.) Native pasture and silage should be -vallable summer and winter. The ullage should be fed generously at ny time of the year when the grass s ant sufficient to secure a high yield <f milk. In dry times during the ?limner and at all times during the ? Inter, sorghum, hay and the hay from ?ither alfalfa, sweet clover or Span fih peanuts should he fed liberally, ?(ye pasture usually can ho provided ?nd It makes a good winter feed. In 'r.vorablA years wiiuut pasture may 'urnlsh nearly all the feed needed for a high yield during the winter. Five good cows fed all they will eat will yield more profit than l!i half starved.
