Prospects for Oil At Rodney.

Strong indications of oil have
been discovered ut Rodney and
q contract has been entered into
by some of the progressive citi-
Gems there with an oil expert from
the oil fields of jennings, La, to
sink q we'll, and the contractor
has shipped his machinery to
Rodney and the work of drilling
if not actually under way will
begin in q few days.
The expert speaks most flatter-
ingly of the indications at Rod
ney, considering the surface evil
dence almost unmistakable in the
light of his experience gathered IN
the oil fields of Texas, aud so
sapguine that he will bring forth
a gusher he has inaugurated work
with no guarantee whatever, save
the successful outcome of his ex-
pertinent.
There has been considerably
speculation among the people not
only of Rodney but Of st. Joseph
Oh the probable outcome OF this
venture aud the prospects for that
place aud surrounding country
should oil he discovered. The
hope ia entertained by our people
that the vein, if vein there is,
extends nortIi-westward aud may
underly our town, and it is un'
derstood that the expert has been
importuned to examine the wei
sunk here several years ago anC
which has flowed salt water con
tinuously since.

Atlanta, March 22.-(Special.)- Nearly 1500 invitations were sent out to the peach growers of Georgia. Ala bama and Tennessee to a meeting to be held in Atlanta Monday. There will be both morning and afternoon ses- sions at which Harvie Jordan, presl- dent of the Southern Cotton associa- tion, will preside.
 A number of interesting and impor- tant subjects are scheduled for dis cussion at this meeting, not the least of which will be methods of marketing the coming peach crop which, the weather willing. is expected to be the largest and best the peach growing states have ever known.
 Replies to these invitations have been general, and there is every req son to expect one of the largest meet ings of those interested in this in dustry, ever held in this state. The large majority of all the replies re- ceived favored Atlanta and the date selected. and the meeting was accord ingly called.

LACK OF MAINTENANCE
 IS GREAT ROAD PROBLEM
Officials Are Usually Willing Have the Roads Built But Are Inclined to Let Them Go To Ruin For Want
 Of Proper Attention

1 not only what to blow and what not 10 1 plow. but how and when to blow. If the road is of fhe kind which according to the above instructions should be plowed over it's whole width, the best method is to run the first furrow in the middle of the road and work out to the sides, thus forming crown Results from such blowing are greatest in the spring or early summer.
 In ditches a plow can be used to good advantage. but should be followed by scraper or grader To make wide, deep ditehes nothing better than the ordinary drag scraper has yet been devised. For i=hauls under 1tv feet, or In making fills it is especially serviceahle. It is a mis- take however to attempt to handle long haul material with this scraper. as the wheel scraper is better adapted to such work For haus of more than 500 feet, a wagon should be used.
 The machine most generally used in oad work is the grader, or road machine. This machine Is especially useful in smoothing and crowning the road and in opening ditehes. clay subsoil under a thin coating of soil should not be dis turbed with a grader. It is also a mis- take to use grader lndlseflmlnateiy ana 10 pull material from ditches upon sand clay road. Not infrequently turf, soil and silt from ditch bottoms are piled in the middle of the road in a ridge, making mudholes a certainty. 1t is important in using a grader to avoid building up the road too much at one time. A road gradually built up by frequent use of the grader will last better than if com pleted at one operation. The foreman frequently thinks his road must be high in the first instance. He piles up material from 10 inches to a foot in depth only to learn, with the arrival of the first rain, that he has furnished the material for as many inches of mud All material should be brought up in thin layers, each layer well puddled and firmly packed by roller or traffic before the next IS added A common mistake is to crown too high with the road machine on narrow road.
 The split log drag should be used to fill in ruts and smooth the road when not too badly washed The drag possesses great merit and Is so simple in construc ton and operation that every farmer should have one. A special article will be published later telling how to make and use the drag.

BIG PEACH CROP ALMOST
 ASSURED IN GEORGIA

the south are now in full bloom; in the warmer climates the blooms have fallen and the young fruit has begun to develop. The trees everywhere are full of it, and are in generally healthy condition. The one fear is of freeze. A crop worth millions of dol lars is thus hanging in the balance. Any action which may be taken by tho growers at their Mondays meeting will, therefore, have to be of a some what speculative nature. Neverthe- less the outlook up to now is bright and their hopes are high.
 A north Georgia peach grower the other day offered for sale his place of 400 acres. including 10000 peach trees, residence. some splendid cotton land, cattle, stock and all appurtenances It S12,50O.
 "Whatll you take for an option on it for 90 days?" a friend asked, ban teringly.
 Either you are a fool or you, take me for one' he replied. By that time I will know wh ether or not I am to be $10,000 richer as the result of the sale of my peach crop. You can take it or leave it at the price"
