An experiment in road building is
being tried at Clarksdalc that should
be watched with interest by the whole
state. The road has been graded
with O road machine and covered
with burned clay which was secured
and carried through the baking pro-
cess on the ground. The verdict Of
those who have seen it is, "that the
result is a firm brick like product,
impervious to water and apparently
durable in the extreme. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that this experiment
will be attended with success, both in
the durability and desirability of the
road constructed as well as in the
smallness of the cost. If good roads
can be made with common clay found
along the right of way and prepared
and distributed without too much
cost, the mooted question of good
roads has been settled. We hope to
hear more from Clarksdale and her
good roads project.

West Point is considering the pro-
position to build creamery where
the dairymen can sell cream and milk
for making cheese. This project was
tried at Myrtle, in Union county,
Bethany in Lee county and Baldwin
in Prentiss county few years since
with poor results. However, there
may have been no real cause for the
failure more than the unpreparedness
and inexperienee Of the people of
those sections for the support of such
industries. Mr.. Moles, vice-presi-
dent of the famous Elgin Butter As
Sociation Of Illinois, was in Missis-
sippi recently and stated to the writ
OF that he could see no reason why
this country should not prove as good
for the production of butter and milk
as the Elgin district. The people
must be educated to comply with con-
ditions necessary for the success of
such movement, but as it has been
done in other section, there seems to
be no good reason why it should not
be done Lere.
