Memphis Is just beginning to wake up to the fact that the counties and towns of the St Francis Valley are going to build half dozen speedways or boulevards, each 50 to 100 miles long, right through Crittenden Coun- ty up to the free bridge" said H. A. Morrison, cashier of the Bank of Com merce of Earle.
 While you are advocating more speedways like the 11-mile Overton Park Boulevard, we are going right ahead starting on ours We can build them so much easier and cheaper than you can, because we have fiat, prai- rie country, and the expense is not nearly so heavy across the river as 1t is on this side.
 Take Mississippi County, which has entered upon a campaign of spending about $1,000,000 for concrete roads to connect with the Crittenden main roads and those laterals leading right up to the bridge Part of the contracts for these were let this week.
 "Poinsett County has retained the Morgan Engineering Company of Memphis to plan seven miles of maca- dam road to the Crittenden line from Marked Tree This will bring these fine, modern roads right toward Earle, and with the spirit of our people so enthusiastic for development now, they will be brought right to Earle.
 .The Earle section was right be- hind Judge Thompson when the work was started in Crittenden to complete the gap in the Memphls-Little Rock highway.
 My Judgment is that by reason of the drainage building TOW and the new roads of this year, land values in Crittenden have advanced from $25 to $50 per acre, especially the black lands around Earle. People are nov ing in and investing with us from all sections of the United States Mem phis capital alone invested this year represents a heavy figure, and our land men are busy day and night show ing prospectors about the county"

II * estimated that the industry AS

rate Of ~. 600. 600 tons annually n
with the help of the ciucihlcs and cleo

At tho rate Of 40.O00.o00 tons a year.
