1t Is believed that this tour, passing
through, as 1t does, some OF the most
progressive cities In the south. will do
much to interest the highway officials in
the different counties and townships in
improving their roads for the caravan of
automobiles which will follow this route
on the way to Richmond in November.
F. NJ. Runnels, secretary Of the Bristol
to-Washington Highway Association,
which is known as the New. York-to-
New Orleans route" has recently been In
conference with the officers Of the Tour
ing Club. and advises that delegation
from Birmingham and Memphis will 60
to Richmond over the Memphis Bristol
Washington highway
Secretary Charles c. Gilbert OF the Ten
nessee Association for Highway Improve
ment advises that the association will be
represented on the tour to Richmond, and
that favorable replies have already been
received from various municipalities in
dicating that they will have cars on the
tour, many of these carrying the state
and county highway officials as we'll as
the officials of other cities in that section.

The appalling list OF fatalities result

tracks has justly raised a storm of pro-
test. not only from the press and the
public. but from many manufacturers
engaged in racing and others who have
the best interests of legitimate motor
car racing at heart. The constant recur-

the public to form the conclusion that au-

Food for Farmers to Digest
President Taft emphasized

President Taft emphasized
much-needed point in his recent
SPEECH at the conservation con-
gress in Kansas City when he de-
c.ared that true conservation OF
natural resources required better
farming In this country.
For example. the production OF
wheat in the United States has
steadily declined until It is now on
ly about one bushel for each In
habitant above requirements for
home consumption.a after the amount
used for seed has been deducted.
Unless this disparity is corrected.
the country must soon face grave
aggravation of the prevalent social
unrest. On every hand we are
told the country needs more farm
ers. But a study of average yields
sugguests that solution OF the
problem lies along the lines laid
down by Pliny-"Sow less and cul-
tivate more"
This means better farming. Ger
many with naturally much poorer
soil, averages 28 bushels OF wheat
to the acre; England from 80 to
33 on Land that years ago yielded
only to 8 bushels; Denmark has
averaged as high as Al bushels;
while our ten year average is 1923
bushels. Great Britain gets 44.3
bushels of oats to the acre. and we
get but 1868 bushels. The same
pitiful averages show In corn. cot
ton. potatoes and other crops.
II cannot be said that wheat 10

Is raised year after year on the

We are shipping millions Of tons

MUSKRATS AS FOOD.

muskrat is a near relation Of the
woodchuck, and is much better eating.
Muskrats are tender, dark meated and
rich In proteins. In New York, Boston
and other centres of culture, when skinned
and their tails cut OF. muskrats are called
black and gray squirrels, or on special
occasions, In very swell restaurants. they
are called fox squirrels In the Adiron-
dacks, when luck goes against the sport
deer hunters, the guides call them rabbits,
or swamp rabbits, and dilate on their
virtues while the sports eat. and still
the sports wonder sometimes why their
guides, who eat alone, do not eat the same
stun that is fed the sports.
II 1t were not for the large families Of
muskrats, the race would soon be extinct.
They are fed upon by foxes. fishers. mink,
hawks, owls, swapping turtles; unques-
tionably trout as large as those Jack
Conkling and VIII Light sometimes catch
could swallow at least a small muskrat--
kit: and trappers make large and con-
slant inroads on the little men OF the
waters. Yet muskrats do not disappear
or even grow fewer on the average.
There is a suspicion that under the So
ciety manner and finish Of at least some
muskrats there is a delicacy Of feeling, a
tenderness Of compassion ana even cour-
age OF a kind. There Is not an obsefNant
trapper OF muskrats who cannot tell
