Making good roads with dirt drags from Wallace's Farmer
Wallace's Farmer advocates building and using split log and plank drags to shape dirt roads after rains. Start with a forty-five degree angle, drive along one track to compact and shed water, then repeat across passes to form a twelve to fourteen foot wide smooth, slightly raised center path. Repetition improves the road gradually, with mudier initial ground yielding better results.

Beating Beef Trust Claims On Iowa Bank Failures
The Cedar Rapids Republican argues that Iowa bank failures in two and a half years were due to dishonesty or law noncompliance, not cattle farming or the beef trust. Only ten banks failed outside private banks, with three state banks failing from defalcations or officer misuses. The beef trust had no connection to these failures while private banks failed largely from overextension by inexperienced owners.
