they have learned by experience
how the work should be done and |
how to work to the best adyan-

one of the best improvements that !
can be made, and the time has
come when this cannot be put off |
if we would keep pace with the
advancement along this line in
other parts OF the state.
The appropriations for roads
and bridges have been unavoida-

increased expense of doing the
work that could not be put off, and |

appropriation than heretofore be
made for bridges, for the reason

Decreased receipts Of wheat at

compared with corresponding 1916
figures for the more important
grains, the receipts of corn, oats
and barley show larger totals, while
those of wheat shop a sharp de-
cline from the corresponding
monthly total. 1t should be stated
though that this decline is not a
peculiar feature Of the January
receipts. AS a matter of fact wheat
receipts for all the months of the
current season beginning with Sep
tember were lower than the year
before, indicating either heavier re-
eeipts at the smaller markets, for
which no official reports are had, or
else larger stocks in the hands of
the producers. The decrease may
be said to affect almost equally
the spring wheat and the winter
wheat markets.. Wheat receipts at
these markets for the five months
of the present crop period fell more
than 20 per cent short of like re-
ceipts during the 1099-10 season and
about f3 per cent short Of the av-
erage receipts during the same pc
riod for the preceding five crop
seasons. The corn receipts at fif-

larger receipts for the current

export demand at the Atlantic ports.
The five months receipts of oats,

while those of barley, 44,607 ,655
bushels, smaller than for the pre-

tically only tone-third of the av-

ports is shown by the Gulf perts,
particularly Galveston and New Or
