J. W. Lindley’s gumbo is proving a
success in hardening the sandy roads.
Was getting his “gumbo” from a

a pool for stock water. Unfortunate
ly, however, the rains came and the
floods descended before he completed
the job, filling the slash with water
and stopping further proceedings till
next summer or fall perhaps. The
work done, though, shows that it will
be practical to improve roads in
many places and at the same time by
digging a pool in the middle of some
“wet place” in an adjacent field, bring
ing into successful and profitable cul
tivation all of said “wet place” except
the area occupied by the pool. Some
body else try it.
