COMPLETE BOULEVARD
BEFORE Rig REISION

the middle of April 1t certainly Will
DO completed by May l. b. June 1
every one of the streets between Grove
Avenue and Broad Street will be paved
through to Robinson Street. while
Grove and Monument Avenues will be
paved through to the Boulevard. This
VIII put the streets In readiness for
viding complete stretch of paved road
way from the downtown sections to
William Byrd Park for parade pur-
poses"
Tho paving Of the Boulevard-the
most ambitious single piece of smooth
paving undertaken by the board last
year Is now about so per cent com
pletc One-halt OF the thorouRhfarc
has been paved all the way from Nonu-
ment Avenue TO the park and tho other
half has been provided with Il concrete
base for more than half the distance.
The inclcment weather of the past sew
cral weeks has greatly delayed the
work. The Boulevard is being paved
with asphaltic concrete at an appro-
priation of $4,000.
All paving work now under contract,
according TO Mr. Beck, will he COM
pleted before June ]. The settling for
this work will consume practically all
the funds TO the credit OF the board for
this purpose from every source, before
the passing OF the budget, and will
make substantial inroads into the
meagre appropriation for surface i'm
provements that were made by that
measure.

ELECTRICITY USE JUMPS UP.
Mileage of Trolley Lines Increases
Horse Cars Disappearing.

Great increases in the use Of cleo
tricity and in electric railway mileage
and percentage of passengers carried
were made between the years 1907 and
1912, according to report issued by
the census bureau today for the year
1912. The statistics gathered at that
time showed that the horse as motive
power for public vehicles was fast van
ishing, while there remained only 256
miles of street railway track operated
by other than electric or horse power.
The kiIowatt hours of electricity
used in 1912 amounted to 1.533.000, 900.
while the figures for 1907 were 5,S62,000-
The number of revenue passengers car
ried by the electric roads increased
from 7,441 100000 in 1907 to s,e46.ooo,-
600 in 1912.
The report notes the fact that the arc
lamp is declining as a source OF iight
and that more power was purchased by
railway companies. showing the teno-
ency to discontinue generating plants
of their own.

TestFarIners Make Profit
Of $ll.Ol An Acre
Profit in Cotton al Il Cents

That cotton can be produced and
sold at a profit for ~ cents a
pound, when the yield is three fourths
of bale to the acre. is shown by
the record kept of crops grown on
the twenty test farms operated
under the supervision Of the agricul-
tural department of the Central of
Georgia railway.
The test farmers kept careful rec
ord, charging to each crop all expense
for seed, fertilizer and marketing;
every hour Of labor for both man
and horse in the preparation cult
walton and harvesting of the crops
and also rent for the land The
crops produced paid for all this cost,
and gave the test farmers an aver
age net profit of $11.01 an acre.
OF the total of 1852 acres culti-
waited 400 were planted to cotton,
which made an average yield Of 373
/ pounds. The cost of production was
approximately one-half cent less per
pound than the price of II, cents
received for the lint cotton, but the
amount received for the seed brings
the average profit from the acres in
cotton up to $9.08.
Copies of the test farm report will
be mailed free OH request, by the
agricultural department, Central of
Georgia railway. Savannah, Ga, and
it contains valuable information for
the farmers of this section, for it
gives complete figures for all of the
crops grown on each of the farms.
1t states that oats followed by cow
pea hay should be grown on every
farm in this section, and shows that
this double crop, which was more
cheaply produced than cotton and is
much better for the land made an
average profit per acre of S25.S5.
Included with the test farm report
is a report on the yields made by the
four crop club boys, who cultivated
three acres each, one in cotton. one
in corn and the third in oats, fol-
lowed by cowpea hay. The winners
of these contests, for which prizes
were given by the Central of Geor-
gia railway, made an average profit
of 1881 an acre from cotton,
$5S.S6 from corn and S62.54 from
oats followed by hay. 1t IS believed
that these four crop contests will
arouse as great an interest in diversi-
fed farming as the corn clubs did
in the growing of more and better
corn.
The introduction of ShorthoYn
bulls given as prizes for these con
tests has also inspired a desire for
pure bred stock, and where year
ago there were only six registered
Shorthorns in the territory served by
the Central Of Georgia railway, there
are now 260 head, and the demand
for them increasing all the time.
