Answer on chufas by Prof. F..
r. Ferris. Mcneil Branch FIX.
pertinent Station, Mcneil. Miss:
The chufa is a native Of South
crn Europe. and is com monty
spoken OF here as the Spanish
chufa. 1t is a nut grass belong
ing to the same family "a the
common nut grass OF the
South, but unlike this there is
no trouble about getting rid Of
the chufa. 1t is one OF the best
hog crops for the South. ranks
along with Spanish peanuts: aud
has this advantage that when
the crop il mature the nuts will
lie in the ground indefinitely
without rotting or sprousing,
whereas the peanuts must be
quickly gathered or they will
sprout. especially If the weather
i. damp. The yield OF chuias a,
Mcneil per acre has been con.
s~iderably greater than that of
peanuts. In 1902 the station
gathered at the rates OF $500
pounds OF chufas per acre and
about 400 pounds Of Spanish
peanuts, though the peanuts
since have yielded as high as
1000 pounds per acre. In prac-
tice We have found that a lot OF
hogs will exhaust a field OF pea
nuts here in possibly one-third
of the time il would take them
10 cat the same size field OF
chufas.
These chufas grow best on
sandy loan soils with clay sub
soils. They do not require a
very rich soil and during 1900
the Mcneil Station had several
acres OF as pretty chufas a. one
would wish TO see, planted on
first year pine land and fertile.

that q suitable hall shall be hired and
obtain the use Of ten or twelve teams,
as many men and q sufficient supply
Of crushed stone to construct a length
Of good road as a sample.
When the train arrives, the engineers
will begin at once to build about q
mile Of dirt road with the teams, men
and materials furnished by the local.
lty. They will then surface or macao
amize as much of that road as their
time will permit. When the practical
bility Of the movement has been thus
manifested, the mayor and commercial
organizations will unite in a call for q
public meeting to organize an associa-
ton.
President Moore of the National
Good Roads association says OF the
project: $500.
"The south can have good roads II It
will, and the sooner the citizens get to-
gether and work along some well or
ganized and practical line these results
will be reached the quicker. There 's
nothing that will do more to Increase
the value of virgin lands and advance
the development Of the rural districts
than we'll constructed public roads.
The Improvement Of the road system
will have q wonderful effect upon slim
ulating the settlement Of people on
farms, and as these settlements are be-
Ing made so will the value Of the land
increase.
wherever q city or town Is found
possessing we'll made roadways lead
Ing therefrom you will find the busi-
ness Of that point Is in a prosperous
condition. Therefore the citizens OF
every town In the south will be pro-
noting their owl interests II they give
this movement their moral and If nee
essary financial support.
ut is hoped that every state, county,
city and town officer will give this sub
feet Of better roads serious considera-
ton and then take the matter In hand
Immediately and show his constituents
that the movement for better roads
will receive his utmost consideration
and utmost cooperation.
at is universally decided that good
roads are what we want. In order to
secure them we must pull together,
working systematically and on practi-
cal lines. This grand tour, planned BY
the Southern Railway company, is a
signal for action. If the states visit
ed are not alive to this and do not avail
themselves Of the opportunity to secure
Information rendered by the good roads
special train, no one will be at fault
except the citizens Of the states IN
which the exhibits are made"

Grades of Roads.

The grade is the most important &C
tor to be considered in the location OF
roads. The smoother the road surface
the less the grade should be. Whether
the road be constructed Of earth, stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
be avoided If possible. They become
covered at times with coatings Of Ice
or slippery soil, making them very diff
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, as
well as dangerous to desesnd. They
allow water to rush down at such a
rate as to wash great gaps alongside
or to carry the surfacing material
away. As the grade increases In steep
ness either the load has to be dimin'
ished in proportion or more horses %
power attached.
