More Capital, More Interest.

What is the real reason back II
all this improvement in farming ana
the farmer?" l asked
The increased value of land" Mr..
Sheffield replied. 'With land worth
$50 an acre, farmer has to get two
or three times as much from each acre
as he did when his land was worth
only $40. In other words, it becomes a
case of getting the interest and profits
from the increased capitalization, just
exactly as man would have to do if
he doubled his capital in the mercan-
tile business; if he didn't get more out
of it, he would ultimately fail.
so it is with the farmer His 500
land of three years ago is worth from
$40 to $50 today, and his capitalize
ton has increased to that extent. There
is only one way for him to meet the
situation, and that is to get more out
of the land, more per acre. Sumter
lulS, ana
they have gone to work to do it.
THAT is one reason why they arc
better farmers today than they were
then; another is that they are progress
sive; they have learned what to do and
how to do it; they are applying mod
ern methods and they are geeting good
results
What Sumter county has done any
, other county in Georgia can do, some
in greater and others. perhaps, in lesA
degree. But they can all do it and
they can all get similar good results,
II they will just get to work and make
roads like Sumter county has made
them.

whole story; it is difficult TO put it into
type. There are ramifcations to the
varied advantageous results that one
would, otherwise, scarcely think of
Good roads building has of course,
practically doubled property values in
Sumter since it was begun; in many
instances it has trebled them.
Three years ago land in Sumter was
plentiful at SIS to $50 per acre; good
land, too. Today it is bringing from
$40 to $50 right along, and it is not 50
easy to get at those figures. Recently
several sales have been made at $50
and values are continuing to advance.
Arthur Rylander, a well known c.ti-
zen of Americas, five months age
bought a Sumter county farm consid-
cradle distance out from Americas at
$40 per acre; two weeks ago he sold
it for $40, and that is only one G.

Makes Better Farmers.
Sumter's good roads not only con
stitute a tremendous aggregate saw
ing to the farmer in putting his pro
duce into the market, but they have
had still more far-reaching result
one which it was thought but a short
time ago could only be accomplished
through the agricultural schools and
colleges.
J But it is a fact, as Chairman IShef-
field pointed out, that good roads are
making better farmers; they are ele.
waiting the standard among them.
With good roads a farmer has got
to increase his efficiency or fall be
hind in the game.
This fact is easily demonstrated in
looking over the Sumter county roads
and glancing at the farms on either
side. They are better terraced, walls
are built where they are needed, the
crops look vigorous and lusty anG
fourishing and the yield per acre is
necessarily greater.
See that corn field remarked

BULLETIN ON DUSTLESS ROAD
Department of Agriculture Issues
Statement Giving Methods for Elk
aiming Materials.

Dust prevention and road preserva-
ton are almost inseparable subjects
in the study of good roads, so insist
emily demanding the attention of road
engineers and chemists interested in
modern road construction Therefore
the bulletin of the United States de-
partment of agriculture on methods
for the examination of Bituminous
road materials, prepared by the Office
Of public roads, and issued as No. IS
of that series, which contains com
plete descriptions of the methods of
examination for that class of materi-
ais, as employed at present by that Of
fee, should materially further the
adoption of standard methods, mat
ter which is of the utmost importance
at this time.
These methods are presented in
such a form that any intelligent per-
son may, with a little practice and the
proper equipment, make such eXami-
nation. With this object in view, the
bulletin describes the various tests
in greater detail than would have been
necessary for the use of chemists, and
illustrations are presented of practi-
cally all the apparatus required Also
a list of the necessary equipment for
small laboratory about to engage in
the routine testing and inspection of
bitumens is given. The maximum
cost. exclusive of platinum ware solv-
ents and chemicals, would not exceed
$500, and probably could be purchased
cheaper by securing bids on the entire
equipment from several drug supply
houses. For the extraction of bitumi-
nous aggregates, the recovery of the
bitumen and examination of the aggre-
gates, an additional outlay of $125
would be necessary. but this expense
seems to be entirely within the means
Of most road commissioners charged
with the construction and mainte-
nance of public roads.

Farm Leaks

One of the worst leaks on many
farms comes direct from the manure
heap, by leaving it piled up near the
barn, exposed to storms, so that the
better part teaches out and goes to
waste. The first principles Of agricul-
ture demand constant and liberal fer
tilization of the soil. and as the aver
age farm is never oyersupplied. nc
man should neglect 10 apply the man
ure as fast as made TO those soils
where it will do the most good.

the bottle on the right, it is a 20 per

egg plant seeds that sank in pure

that many remained at the top.
All seeds that swim in water should
