how deeply moved are the feelings Of

Wide and Marrow Tires.

Water and narrow tires aid one an
other in destroying the roads, while,
on the other hand, wide tires are
roadmakers. They roll and harden
the surface, and every loaded wagon
becomes in effect a road roller. The
difference in the action of narrow
tire and wide one is about the
same ae the difference between q
crowbar and a tamper-the one tears
up; the other packs down. By using
wide tires the cost and labor of keep
ing roads in repair are greatly reduc-
ed. Therefore if you want good
roade, either of dirt or stone, use
wide tires and induce all your neigh
bors to do likewise.

Lack Of Rain Hurts Cotton.

Americus, Ga The cotton crop
has already fallen eff considerably,
and unless general rain comes and
that quickly, the cotton crop Of this
section will be vastly reduced from
former estimates. Already the loss
sustained by the protrscted drought
is enormous and this is being added
to as each day passes without needed
moisture for the parched plant that
lies limp and wilted under a blazing
September sun. Vast damage has
already resulted and the end is not
yet. In some localities here there
has been no rain in many weeks.
The growth of the plant is checked,
forms have fallen off, the leaves are
turning yellow and bolls opening pre-
maturely. Even general rain now
would not repair half the damage
wrought already, but would re-
lieve the situation very materially.
Even the smaller crops show per-
ceptibly the effects of the parcbing
sun, but the greatest lossis sustained
in the damage to cotton. Already
the loss sustained will reduce the
crop here several thousand bales, it
is said.
