GOOD ROADS AND THEIR RE-
 LAYTON TO RURAL SCHOOL $

Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.-The rural population is more willing to support better schools today than at any previous time. It is being req lized that all educational activities or agencies must be more or less corre lated, and, more than all else, that they must be made accessible to the children. In many counties where bad roads prevail, most of the schools are of the antiquated one-room variety. They are usually located along bad roads which, during the winter, when the schools are usually in session, be- come so nearly impossible as to make it difficult for the children to reach them. This condition causes irregu- lar attendence and restricts the edu- cational opportunities of the child. Not only this, but it often impedes the economic consolidation of these smaller schools into larger, stronger graded schools, with high school courses, directed by competent prin- cipal and corps of teachers, according to the Office of Public Roads, U S. Department of Agriculture.
 On the other hand in counties which have improved their roads, the schools are easily reached, the average at tendance greater, the efficiency largely | increased and economic consolidation made possible Regular attendance at school means consistent and regu- lar growth of both school and pupil, and consolidation of schools means a maximum of efficiency at minimum of cost. It is also noteworthy that there is a marked tendency for the consolidated school to become the so- cial and intellectual center of the con- munity. Most modern rural school houses are so constructed as to serve the community as gathering places for various kinds of public meetings, and where vans are used to convey the children to school during the day they are frequently pressed into Gervice to haul the farmers and their wives to institute work, lectures, or enter tainments at the schoohouse. The consolidated school becomes a sort of community center to which all edu- catonal and social activities converge, and in order that it may properly per form that function all of the high ways leading to it should be so inn proved as to render it readily access sible throughout the year.

The cotton grower may raise feed and he should and doubtless will in the flu ture market few swine, beef cattle and sheep each year Plantation own CTS will find that is is to their advan- tage to prepare pastures and encour- age their tenants to raise a few mar ketable livestock. Livestock raising will conserve soil fertility, distribute labor, permit diversifcation of crops and encourage progressive methods of farm management. This will mean less dependence upon cotton, saving In the cost of marketing and improve home life.-Farm and Ranch.

MORE LIVESTOCK ON FARMS

The report of the department of agriculture on the available supply of meat animals shows a decided de- crease since the census of 1900. The report showed that we have over IS million less animaSs in 1910 than in 1900, which is more than nine less beef cattle, seven sheep and three hogs less per 100 of estimated popu- lation, January l, 1914. In other words it would take 18,259,000 more animals than the estimate shows to give the present population the same supply of meat animals-cattle. sheep and swine it had in 1910.
 This will indicate the opportunities on our farms and ranches for rais- ing more livestock. It is shown that the farm value of cattle during the last decade has increased from $19.07 to $31.13 per head, an average of 63.2 per cent or an average increase of over 15 per cent Swine have in creased in value from $9.17 to S10.40 per head, or 13.4 per cent; sheep from an estimated farm value of S4.12 in 1910 to $4.04 in 1914.
 No one familiar with the conditions will concede that animals can be raised as cheaply now as a few years ago. It costs great deal more to raise animals now than when we had cheaper lands, cheaper labor, free ranges and cheaper feeds But are there not opportunities for raising profitable animals under present con- ditions?
 The cotton belt is we'll adapted to raising such legumes as peas, soy beans, peanuts, alfalfa and clover. Grasses thrive and pastures may be had most of the year. Corn, Kafir, oats, milo, feterita, saccharine sor- ghum and other grains may be pro- duced economically. Silos may be built and crops for filling silos are comparatively sure.
