This coming winter and next spring j

| barrels of oil to each 500 feet; this and potatoes, which under proper man-
agement could have been raised on!
The more hs to be bought, the more ;
money to be put up by the taxpayers
who foot the bills. |
Undoubtedly an effort will be made
to shirk, or shift the blame, by those
responsible for it, but the taxpayers
ought to understand where the blame
properly belongs. .
Mr. Pius Glessner, who until re-
cently, was ostensibly in charge of
the farm department, is not the one
on whom blame should rest. |
The blame should rest where it
prcperly belongs on John Miller and
i Jacob Dietz, who by their “bone head”
simulation of manageuent, started |
Glessner in the wrong direction and
along improper lines.
If there had been a competent Su-
tire institution, as there is in all suc
cessful establishments, there would |
not ~ be the disgraceful exhibitions
which mark the corn and potato fields
and mean a monetary loss to the tax-
payers. Now as to good roads, every
taxpayer ought to know that every
dollar squandered unnecessarily at
the county home, means two dollars
taken away from the possibility of
good roads. 2
Let every advocate of good roads
anxious to secure every legitimate
available dollar, with s little increase
of taxes possible, keep their eyes on
the county home management, the
bung hole of the barrel. [en
