PROBLEM IS
SOLVED HERE BY EXPERT

Having studied local conditions. Pre-
vost Hubbard. road expert from the
United States department of agricul-
ture. is convinced that use Of some kind
of a bituminous binder will solve salts
factorily for Georgia the problem of
building roads that can withstand the
wear and tear of automobile travel.
Specimens of tar frO1a the Atlanta
Gas company plant are now being an
aIyzed by the state chemist, at Mr.. Hub
bards request, and, in the event 1t
proves to be of the proper composition.
or If it can be refined so as TO meet the
requirements. this local tar iii be used
in the reconstruction of three miles OF
the Peachtree road, in DeKalb county.
just over the Fulton county line.
Preliminary work is already well I'M

feet and the lower layers are being put
down, so that by the time binder is de-
cided upon the construction Will be SUI
ficiently far advanced to be carried
straight through without a hitch.
Some time ago Road Commissioner R
J. Freeman, of DeKalb county, decided
to begin an active campaign for better
roads, for roads that would Withstand
automobile travel. and to him is largely
due the credit for the present activity

It IS not advisable to let cowpeas stand
on the ground during the winter. A liv-

not such power. In other words, as soon
as the plant ceases to grow, q part of the

carried away by the action of the rain

leaves begin to crumble up and are car

from blowing the cowpea crop under

STATE Of Maryland
Havoc By Cholera.

Chestertown.-Ther will be u
scarcity of pork in Kent and Queen
Annes Counties this winter for two
reasons. One is that the corn crop
will be so short that the farmers will
not have the grain with which to
fatten what hogs they have, and the
other reason is that the cholera has
played such havoc among hogs that
the farmers will have but few hogs
to fatten. There have been numer-
GUS cases of the disease reported
during the past six months and many
experiments have been made upon
the hogs in an effort to stem or en-
tirely eradicatesthe disease. All such
experiments seem to have proven
failures, and one of the largest pork
raisers in this county has lost IN
one day this week "a out of a pen
of SO fine fattening hogs from the
effects of cholera. Such losses as
this are not only heavy financial
blows to the farmers, but they will
undoubtedly affect the market this
fall. One Of the leading butchers OF
Chestertown said that he did not ex-
pect to handle pound of pork meat
this year. Cholera has caused the
farmers of Kent and Queen Annes
Counties the loss of thousands OF dol
lars.
