Charter.

Captain d. G. Purse, with a number

have applied to the secretary of state

Captain Purse is at the head OF the
movement, says the Macon News.

reach a territory in which Savannah
has been lost much of the trade it
once held, because it cannot now com
pete with the freight rates that are
made from Macon, Brunswick and a
eumber of other points.
Since the application for a charter
was made the scope OF the line has
become broader and more comprehcn-
sive. 1t is now the intention OF the
lncoporators to not only DuIld
on our first basis but to extend the
line from Douglas to Valdosta The
length of the line between Savannah
and Douglas ad Douglas and Valdosta
IS about 1856 miles. The right to build
a line to Stilmore and Reidsyille, Ga

makes its appearance in community
it is looked upon as a small weed
and causes some discussion on ac-
count of its salivating effect upon
horses. After a year or two, this
tendency to salivate disappears and
the new clover is recognized as a val
liable forage crop to the community.
In other instances, progressive stock
men buy the seeds and plant them
in the community, where seeds have
not been distributed by natural
means, and these, in turn, are dis.
seminated throughout the soils to
which the plant is suited by the
agencies mentioned.
Seed should be sown in late spring
either upon well-prepared land or
the moist, protected soils of partial
woodland. Usually, a peck to one
half bushel of seed per acre is planted
in April and May, often in March.
The plant grows slowly at first, but
with a fair amount of rainfall it will
establish itself and will remain green
through severe droughts until frost.
The tiny violet bloom that occurs
during July and August is often over

abundantly, and the crop of clover

USE OF WIDE TIRES.
A Matter That Is of Vital Interest tc
the Preservation of Roads I'm
Good Condition.

One OF the greatest aids to better
roads is the use of wider tires on
the wagons. No matter what kind
of material is used for the construc.
tion of the road, the width of the
tire is of vital Importance. 1t is also
vastly to the interest of almost every
farmer from an economic standpoint
to have at least three or four inch
tire in place of. the old fashioned narrow
tire. The loads will draw more easily
about his fields and on almost all
kinds of roads. The wide tired
wheels are much stronger and more
lasting and present much less trouble
in the shape of loose tires. In MANY
sections their economic advantages
are being recognized and they are
rapidly replacing the narrow tire.
This transition should be fastened
as rapidly as possible. All new pur-
chases should be of the wide sort.
So thoroughly has the relation of
wide tires to good roads been recog-
nized abroad that laws have been
passed regulating the width of tires.
In Germany four-inch tires are re-
quired. In France traffic tires must
be from three to ten inches wide, ac-
cording to the weight of the load,
and the front axle must be shorter
than the rear axle, to prevent ''track-
ing" In Austria wagons carrying
more than two and a quarter tons
are required TO have tires at least
four and one-third inches wide and
every load over four and half tons
must be carried on tires of six and
one-fourth inches in width.-Prairie
