one on the road leading from
East Stone Gap to Minton's
store, one on the road from Ap.
palachia to Stonega and ono on
the road from Appalachia to

been going on n short time,
about one mile of the East
Stone Gap road has been com
pieted, and about one-half mile
of the Stonega road at Preach
ar has received the finishing
touches and moro than one
fourth of mile of tho Black
wood road has been made, aud
from now on the work will pro.
gress rapidly.
The bond Issue of $4,000

Select Seed Potatoes With Care

The time of digging potatoes is
n of the best for sorting potatoes
for seed. The practical potato
grower should at least give atten-
ton to sorting out a sufficient guam
tity OF well-typed tubers of suitable
size for planting next spring. THIS
system apparently advances the Weld
per acre and also the type Of tubers
produced. The Agronomy depart
ment of the state college in 1912
found that large tubers cut into four
pieces and used for seed produced
from twenty to twenty-eight per
cent greater yield than small tubers
also cut into four pieces and used
for seed. The experiment is ex-
planned in DEAL and In clear lam
guage in Bulletin No. 140 of your
Agricultural Experiment Station.
A postal card from any road adj
dressed TO the Director will bring
the bulletin by early mail. Send for
1t now.
