American Road Congress.

Regarding the public roads as an in
dispensible part of the transportation
system of the country, supplem emitting
its railroads and waterways, President
Harrison, of the Southern Railway
Co., takes an active interest in the good
roads movement. He is Vice President
of the American Highway Association,
and will be one of the speakers at the
Fourth American Roa Congress in At
lanta, November 9.
Speaking of the relation of the country
said: Whatever may be the final des-
tination of farm products. their first
movement must be over the country
road and, if the farmer is to receive the
largest measure of benefit from good
roads, the policy should be adopted of
improving those highways which radiate
from market towns and shipping stations
and over which the farmers must haul
their products. The profit which will
be earned by the farmer may depend
largely upon the condition of the road
from his farm to shipping station Sta
tistics compiled by the U. S Depart
ment of Agriculture show that the cost
of hauling farm products to shipping
points over bad roads is a dispro-
portionately large part of the total ex-
pense of their transportation to market.
This is not always fully realized by the
farmer. but if he will take into account
the time OF himself and his team. and
the wear and tear on his vehicle and
harness made necessary by a larger num-
Der of trips with smaller loads, he will
find that the cost amounts up very fast
and correspondingly reduces his net
profits. Another item of the cost of
bad roads 10. the farmer, which is often
overlooked, is that he must haul his
products to markets when the roads are
not in their bost condition with little re-
gard as to whether prices are favorable
or whether hauling st that time inter-
feres with work on the farm. With
good roads he can not only haul heavier
loads in shorter time but, except as to
perishable commodities, he can market
his products when prices are most favor
able and can do his hauling when it is
most convenient and even when the
ground is too wet for work in the fields.
The manifold advantages of an i'm
proved highway in reducing the cost Of
drayage, facilitating social intercourse,

A Husbands Duty.

very grave responsibility has the
man assumed in his marriage. Doting
parents have confded to his care the
welfare of loved daughter, and trust
ing woman has risked all her future hap
piness in his keeping Largely VIII it
depend upon him whether her pathway
will be strewn with thorns or roses.
Let your wife fully understand your
business. In nearly every case she will
be found most valuable adviser when
she understands all your circumstances.
If dispute arises dismiss the subject
with kind word and do not seek to
carry your point by discussion. 1t is
glorious achievement to master ones
own temper. You may discover that
you are in error, and if your wife IS
wrong she will gladly. in her cooler mo-
ments, acknowledge the fault.
Never neglect your wife for all the
world besides. Never deceive; conf
dence once lost can never be wholly re-
gained. Never give all your pleasant
words and smiles TO strangers-the kind
est words and the sweetest smiles should
be reserved for home. Home should be
your heaven.
Never tail to tell your wife the truth;
If truthful you get your reward-you
get your punishment if you deceive,
Never fail to say kind, encouraging
word to your wife; praise and encourage
her. To keep her love, be kind and low
ing-always be lover.
And last and above all, to keep your
wife's love and respect. be a strictly
temperate man. 1t would be difficult 10
love and honor man to whom she is
compelled TO look down upon, who would
drag himself, wife and children down to
poverty, shame and disgrace. One and
all turn from the intoxicating cup.
That alone makes more misery, causes
more unhappy homes and is the greatest
curse on Garth. God pity the poor wife
with an Incorporate man. Her life's
happiness will be completely destroyed
by such union. Better a thousand
times the single. free and independent
maidenhood than married to a man ad-
dicted TO dissipated habits. Don't 90
down town every night to see a nan.
and then expect your wife TO be ali smiles
when you come home.

promoting school and church attend
ance, expediting rural mail delivery,
increasing the value of farm lands, and
promoting agricultural development
back from the railrods are so great that
they need but to be enumerated to pre-
sent convincing argument in favor Of
road improvement.
'Since several years ago when the
Southern Railway Company, in conjunc-
ton with the u S. Agricultural Depart
ment and State and local authorities,
operated over its lines good roads
train, carrying machinery and lectures,
and building at central points object
lesson roads, there has been very sub
stantial progress in the good roads move
ment throughout the South. This was
accelerated in 1911 by the operation of
another good roads train in cooperation
with the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and the American Highway Associ-
alton. The interest of the Southern
people in good roads has been thorough
y aroused and in many localities the
country highways have been highly i'm
proved and are being adequately main
tanned.
IL think it is fortunate for the South
that the American Road Congress of
1914 is to be held in Atlanta, Georgia.
This will unquestionably be one OF the
most important gatherings ever held in
the Southern States. 1t will bring to-
gether the official heads OF the State
Highway Departments, the foremost ex-
perts in road construction and mainten-
ance, and other leaders in the good roads
movement in each State for an exchange
of ideas as TO the best methods of f.
nancing road construction and building
and maintaing the best types of country
highways. Its exhibits of road machin-
cry and of model roads will be highly
educational and it can not but serve to
increase interest in the good roads move
menJ throughout the South"

Alfalfa Paws.

In a recent address Hon. A. p Grout,
President of the National Alfalfa Grow
ers Association, stated that one acre of
alfalfa is equal TO four acres of average
corn. He said: 1T never occurred to
me until three or four months ago to
make comparison and reduce the value
of an acre of corn and alfalfa 10 figures.
This season put at least five tons of al
falfa to the acre in my barn, and it is
worth $40 ton. After this hay was
carefully put into my barn, some of my
neighbors began to haul corn to the ele-
vator at SOC per bushel, and then for the
first time it occurred to me that if had
sold my alfalfa for 500 and put that
amount into corn, it would have given
me 200 bushels. Now. this land on
which am growing alfalfa would be
able under the best conditions to grow
80 TO 100 bushels, but am not growing
any such amount. Il l get rs bushels
per acre, am doing very well. This
means that one acre of alfalfa is worth
two and half acres of corn, and if /
did not get more than so bushels, (and
the average is not so bushels in our
country, then one acre of alfalfa is
equal to four acres of corn. There is an
incentive for growing alfalfa.
