Mr. Editor:-I will try to give yon
few lines from this corner. The
farmers have been blowing some, and
hauling ghano considerable, but I
think they will have to stop hauling
for want of good roads. We are lust
out Of roads ut this time. The old
roadway is there, but the roads are
gone IN many places Any one who
doubts it if they will take n trip over
some of the roads down here I think
they will soon decide for themselves.
Our genial Rural Mail carrier has a
piece of the worst road to 90 over tha,
know of and it is public road too
hear that people hauling have had
to quit trying to haul. over it, and
that causes them to cut up our settle.
ment roads. Now, we need q road
leading from Clio in the direction of
Judson,' which would be very much
nearer route for the people Of Marion
county who haul from Clio, and better
road iu summer, for the farmers like
to go and come in short time. This
road could be built without much cost
and would be a great saving of time
10 the farmers and others, for it would
sho, ten the distance considerable, as
any one may see by drawing straight
inc from Clio to Judson, as the road
iue does not vary much for the great.
er part of the way, and there is road
IN this line nearly the whole 70 tie,
but it needs strengthening in some
riac's which could be easily done.
We sent up petition for this road
about year ago but have heard moth.
ing from it. We pay our road tax, and
ifany one fails 10 pay his road and
poll tax they get the poll and this poll
has to work it out in the chain gang
In this section if white or colored fails
to pay his road tax they willingly
work it out Oh the road.
| would be glad if our worthy Sup
ervisor would come down this way
some time and see the sitnation, and
he would see the benefit this road
from Clio to Judson would be to both

willingly help build this road as it
shor'ens the distance for them.

The Indication are that corn,
wheat, potatoes and all other foods
for man will be in greater demand
in 1904 than for the past year.
Corn acreage should be increased
and the mood of preparing the land
should be more thorough than in
former years. Turn your lands al
least one inch deeper than they
"o.o uyur nrohcli before. The one
inch deeper turned on top will not
be injurious and 1t will add $50
tons oflooscned soil per acre. That
will enable the land to hold that
much more moisture for the plants
i'll the summer period. II possible.
follow the turn plow with 4 sub
soiler, to break up the clay hard
pan eight or more inches below the
work Of the turn-plow. This will
give an acre of land the power OF
holding six to eight more tons OF
water. The corn i'll June and Jul,
will want water more than iertili-
zers. Over so per cent Of th,
growing plant is water, and tho
proportion Of moisture must be
maintained DUNG its green state
ifa full crop be expected.
Determine now to grow the hcav
lest crop Of corn you ever had
There will be a demand for it. HUI
manity is increasing and the bread
crop must be made larger to supply
the demands. Keep the plows go
ing every day, getting deeper down
and finding new soil that have not
been drawn from i'll making plants
heretofore This will be half sub
stituic for fertilizers.
