Say, Harry Mines, chairman of
the Highway Department, when are
you going to finish the Haird road"
It's one of the oldest projects on
the road calendar, and still an un
finished problem. You come along
every once and awhile, and cut off
a piece about the length of a man's]
shirt tail, dig up a little dirt, and!
throw on it, pile a little gravel on |
it, and spit on your hands and say, [
"Watch us build the Haird road."
•Say, Harry, we have waited for j
this road until patience has ceased |
to be a virtue. When in the name I
of high Heavens are you going to!
build it?

A page from the diary of a pil-
grim to Mexico:
The car zig-zag- around turns
through the mountains, one right
after the other, but at but
straighten- out briefly and, in the
valley below and on the side of the
mountain beyond, is Taxco, an
artist's dream. There still remains
the drive into the town, up the
steepest streets and around the
sharpr.-t corners before the panting
automobile halt- in the shade
the little park.
Everywhere one looks is a pic-
ture ancient buildings along the
narrow thoroughfares that are
paved with cobblestones, which in
some places are arranged in pat-
terns; an old staircase; water
gushing into the pool of the an-
cient fountain all touched by
mellow -hadow and ineffable
i|Uietnc ; and in the foreground,
or to the side, or as a background
or perhap only il- to e hued tow
ers of exquisitely chiseled stone
and its dome of bright, vari-colot
ed tile lifting above the vistas of
little white building- with their
rod roofs, stands Taxco's church, |
one of the most beautiful on the j
American continent.
The edifice was built by Horda,
a Frenchman who made a vast for-
tune from the mines here. "God
gives to Horda and Horda, to God,"
he said, and spent I,fi00,000 pesos
in erecting the temple, which took
ten years, being completed in 1758.
In addition, he gave ceremonial
vessels worth more millions of
pesos. The interior of the church
is gorgeous with 12 altars of
elaborately carved wood, covered
with gold.

Hreeder-Feeder Association).
Cotton is, and should remain,
an important factor in balanced
agriculture on mo-t Southwestern
farms. With good management
we will eventually make as much
cotton on the reduced acreage as
the world will take. The Breeder-
Feeder program involve better cot-
ton yields through crop rotations
and livestock; and the cottonseed
are indispensable to good livestock,
feeding.
of There i- yet another way to off-
set the smaller cotton acreage and
j make more profit from the cotton
crop by increasing the yields. That
is by effective control of the in-
sect pests which, like the poor, we
have always with us. ("onset-ra j
. tive estimates,, based on careful
measurements of yields with and
without the use of proven control
I measures, indicate that the bugs
get from one-eighth to one-fourth
of the cotton crop for which we
labor every year. The average for
the cotton belt is about 3,000,000
bales annually, or an average lo.-s
of about two bales per cotton
farm.
If this loss were like those from
flood, drouth or storm, completely,
beyond our control, our indiffer-
ence would be excusable. As a j
matter of fact, however, most of
the insect damage can be avoided!
if we use the right methods at *he
right time. So long as we enter
