We enjoyed very pleasant visit
Friday from DR.. R. T. Weaver, who is
a chemical expert. and is now mana
ger of the Oak Crest Farm, formerly
known as the Anthony Farms. Prac-
tical and intelligent, under DIR. Wea-
ver's direction, it is believed that the
Oak Crest Farm will set the pace
that will produce an evolution in
farming in this county. With our
fertile soil so quick to respond to the
coaxing of the intelligent and practi-
cal expert, when we read in the Pen
sacola Journal that one of the mem
bers of the boys corn club in Santa
Rosa county harvested one hundred
and eighty-five bushels of corn from
a measured acre, and another boy one
hundred and sixty-five bushels, we
are constrained to believe that We
are now only entering upon the
Threshold of our possibilities. We
shall watch the Oak Crest Farm with
continued interest.

MARION ROAD BUILDING

ed on a small scale Missouri's and
Alabama's great road building
achievements. Marion, on last Thurs
DAY, with five thousand men. BUT
eighteen miles of road-and they saI|
it was good road, too.
We have not seen particulars as
materials used or the method OF con
struction, but as we are informed tnas
the road in question-that from 0cah
to Blitchton-was a rock road wneh
constructed some years ago, We cor
clude that they would not have r.
built it with any material inferior e
that originally used.
The people of Marion are to be ocn
graduated upon their git and enera
and public spirit Even if the r0aa
which they have built is not nrs'|
class-and we do not by any meam
undertake to say that it is moths
exertions that they have made anu
the example that they have set ths
rest of the state would be worth
while.
These road-workings en- masse sh0"
the spirit of the people, their enter
prise and their determination TO 40
things for themselves. They eFines
