Good Roads Department
Proposed Bond Issue $3.50, ,000 Election to be Held
March 30. 1915
Road Commissioners Provided in Act:

planned the entire county will feel the
benefits 'of the improvement. AS a
rule, main market reads reach the ma
jority Of producing areas, and when
they arc improved, all lanq values
tend,tO increase. Z "
1.-The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside of
their own limits Is sometimes made
q point Of debate in bond elections.
1t is argued that because q large part
OF the county wealth is within the
corporate limit of such cities and
towns, highway bond money should al
SO be used to construct their streets.
1t is even urged that the expenditure
should be made prOportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
limits. IL the proceeds or highway
bond issues were distributed In thi:,
way their purpose in many cases
would be defeated. The primary OBJ
)ect Of the county highway bond issue
Is to build county market roads, and
net to improve. city streets, although
high percentage oil the assessed
valuation may. be city property. 1t Is
now kncwn that the expenditure of
city. taxes on country roads is a
sound principle. and that 1t is one of
the best features of State old for
highways. In Massachusetts the city
OF Boston pays possibly 10 per cent
OF the total State highway fund, but
not mile Of State-aid highway has
been built within its limits. New
York city also pays about so per cent.
OF the cost of the State highway
bonds. Some State laws prohibit the
expenditure Of proceeds of State
highway bonds within corporate limits
oil cities or towns. The-improvemen
of market roads results in improved
marketing conditions, which benefit
the city. Most cities are essentially
dependent upon the surrounding
country for their prosperity and de-
'velopment.' The development of sub.
urban property for residence purposes
is also dependent upon highway con-
dltions. and 1t is becoming evident
yearly that whatever makes for an
increase In rural population must be
encouraged. Since the Introduction of
motor traffic. country highways have
Deen used to anincreasing extent by
CITY residents. In fact the cost of
maintaining many country highways
mas been greatly increased by the
presence OF city-owncd motor vehicles.

doing country business from town

Yellow Citrus Trees Need Ammonia

During the rainy season a great
deal of plant food is lost from the
surface soil through teaching. The
Initrates and nitrites that are availa-
Bile to the plant are especially subject
to the teaching process. Even where
such plants as citrus trees occupy the
land all the time, the almost incessaat
percolation of the water washes the
foods away from the roots.
If the foliage of citrus trees begins
to turn yellow or if that of any of
the heavy bearing branches loses col
or, the trouble is probably a lack Of
ammonia. The fruit is unable to get
the necessary supply of nitrogen com
pounds from the soil and so the leaves
Iare robbed. When such yellowing oc.
ours, B. F. Floyd of the University of
Florida Experiment Station recon-
mcnds that some quickly available
form of ammonia be applied Nitrato
Ct soda or sulfate of ammonia are the
most quickly available forms, but care
should be exercised so that more than
the plant can use will not be applied Il
the rainy season is not over. Both
forms leach readily.
If the grower wishes to market his
fruit early, the sulfate of ammonia
would be the best form to apply.
There is an opinion among growers
that nitrate of soda makes citrus
fruits sour and that sulfate of am
monia makes them sweet. In the
northern part of the citrus belt it is
deGirous to mature the fruit early to
avoid frosts and cold weather. Con.
sequently, the more desirable fertiii-
zer would be the sulfatc of ammonia,
so that the required sweetness will be
obtained at an early date-Experi-
ment Station News Service.

The men of the Baptist church met

on Tuesday morning and proceeded tc
clean up the church lot in which weeds

Some one without the fear of God IN
his heart has made this lot a dumping

Baptist indignation which leaked out
to the effect that it would not be
wholesome for any one to get caught
in the act of doing the tin can act

one day last week and cleaned the in
terror of the church. The Baptist:
have recently gotten a move on them
selves and are coming into their owr
in this town.
Said a prominent business man ol
this place on Monday: "Crescent City
has in the past erected several pack
ing houses designed to gather the cit
1Ls shippers together on a mutual ba
sis of cooperation; it is now entering
upon at least its third experiment ot
this nature. Strangely, however, thu,
like its predecessors, is sending out
side for all its building material anc
workmen; that doesn't seem any toe
dCggasted consistent in a co-opera tiv,
enterprise" In this the new enter
Prise is but following in the footstep,
OF the town itself, which generally EN-
ploys workmen from outside, entire
ignoring the claims of our own work
men who pay taxes. Certainly none
of our own men could have built &

have shown more cracked stones il
