How to get a three Teach
er School.

Here in the rural South we
must develop community units
large enough to support efficient
schools, and large enough also to
support all the organizations and
agencies needed TO make coun-
try life as attractive as town lie.
If your brother subscribers are
living in a one teacher school dis
Itrict look around you and see
ifyou cannot consolidate your
district with one or two others,
establish a strong three teacher
school at some central location
and then set about building a
well organized country commun-
ity around it 1t will take some
hard work to do this. of course,
there will be many difficulties
to encounter, and
you will find many men hard to
convert to the idea but it's a
great and worthy piece of com
munity-building, is an idea big
enough to be a constant inspir-
alton while you live, and will be
your best monument when you
die.
And all that we are arguing
for here is a school district five
miles square. running out two
and half miles in each direc
tion from the school house, so
will be the greatest distance any
child will have TO travel. Of
course, many districts are tax
ing more territory and providing
transportation for the. children
fartherest from the school. As
a general idea, however, we be-
lieve in the two and one half
mile limit and we reiterate our
contention that it is better for
the child to walk two and a half
miles to good school than one
mile to sorry one.
And for the selfish man you
will encounter who doesn't want
the larger district because some
body's land nearer than his to
the school house might increase
in value more than his own,
we have only to remind him
that the higher priced land will
have TO pay the more tax, and
furthermore
Land within two and a half
miles OF a really good school
is worth more than land within
mile OF sorrow one.
Both to get proper training
for our boys and girls and to
develop an attractive and whole
some social and community life in.
the rural south, there is need
for the crusade for "a three
teacher school within reach OF
every child"
And if every progressive farm
er man and woman would enlist
that ideal would soon be reality
Why not make it such in your
communityg

OUR ROADS

Mississippi has total mileage
of 44,072 public roads of which
Nl1, 800 miles are improved. Last
year the counties spent about
$2,850 900 on road improvements
In 1904 the state had only 342
miles Of improved roads.
During the last session of Con-
gress 80 bills looking to the ex-
tension of national aid in the con
struction of state highways W ere
introduced in the house snd the
Senate. The prevailing impress
sion is that whatever plan is a.
dopted ultimately will fall with
in the scope of three bills which
up to this time have received a
most serious consideration by
committees of Congress engineers
and others. One plan. for which
ex-senator Bourne of Oregon is
sponsor provides for the use of
the national credit by the states
through bond issue limited to
$1,000. 000,00 The national
government is TO accept the
bonds of the several states as
collateral for loan to the ex.
tent of 81, ,O0O,0o0,0O0.
What is teachincally known as
the Shackleford plan provides in
substance for the construction of
public roads by the states the
the Nationalgovernment to reim-
burse the states uponthe approx
al and acceptance of highways
used for carrying rural and star
route mail.
Tho third plan which embodies
provisions Of bills offered by
Senator Bankhead of Alabama
Seaatof Gore of Oklahoma and
Scatter Swanson of Virginia
II 2.operative the states and
tie federal government working
t. ether on prorata basis of
ecst,
While no specific bill or plan
has been adopted by Congress
the three propositions indicated
involve principles and sugges-
tions which have been subjected
to more discussion and scientific
investigation.
Those states which have not
III established a state highway de-
partment should do so for it is
safe to say that whatever the
q national government does in the
matter of direct financial aid to
the sevaral states in the building
and improvement OF public roads
will be done through the high
= way department of each state,
Z In the opinion Of j. E. Penny
backer, chief of the division of
road economics, Department
of Agriculture road transportat-
ion is one of the big problems
before :his country. 1t costs the
=. farmer % cents ton mile to
haul his product to the railroad
- of the consumer where the roads
are unimproved. More than
4 $50, 100000 tons are hauled over
these roads each year and the
bill for hauling is $3.50, ,000,0 900.
The cost per ton mile for haul
ing on hard surfaced roads does
not exceed 13 cents.

therefore be delivered in much
better condition and likewise
had greater feeding value be
cause it contained more dry
matter"
Secretary H. FL. Hains, of the
Galveston Commercial Associa-
tion, says:
@The carrying quality Of South
ern corn is better than that of
Northern corn for the reason
that Southern corn is drier and
less subject to heat. Northern
corn is frost dried rather than
sun dried and consequently has
q greater percentage of moisture
and when brought in contact
with terminating conditions it
is more likely to avail it self of
the terminating processn.
Numerous moisture tests have
been made by the Standardization
Bureau to determine the quality
of our locally grown corn and
they all bear ont the statements
of the above men. So the matter
Of quality is pretty definitely
settled, and we Of this section
are favored.
Grades for Commercial
Corn.
Attached is a copy of the grades
for Commercial corn which in
dicate very clearly what must be
done it our Mississippi corn is to
successfully compete with corn
from other sections.
Preparation of Corn for
Market.
The market wants shelled corn
and in great many instances it
will be most practicable to ship
in bulk. Where it is to be ship.
ped in sacks eur local trade will
wish it in 140 pound sacks, as
this is the weight of sacks now
being handled. Shipping in the
ear is not the most practicable
way of handling corn.
By all means corn should not
be mixed, 1t should be sound
free of weevils, and dry.
Local ''Shelling Stations" are
advised for all centers, and in
the instance of large planters
who may have a surplus crop
of corn, it will be entirely prac-
ticable for them to install shell
ling outfits Of their own. Such
outfits may be had for from 800
on up. Where several hundred
bushels are to be shelled per
day it will pc necessary to put
in an outfit that will cost from
$3.50 to $500. Where the engine
of some gin is to be used $3.50
to $500 willput in shelter that
will take care of several hun
dred bushels per hour.
Where a gasoline engine is to
be used the cost of installing the
entire outfit will ruu from $4OO
to $500, that is in the instances
of an outfit that will take care OF
several hundred bushels per hour.
Average price Of Missis-
sippi corn for the past ten
years.
The average price of corn in
Mississippi for the past ten years
has been 72c, per bushel. That
Of the states Of the 'Corn Belt"
has been much less, in some IN
stances as low as 4Sc per bushel.
This would indicate that our
price, or that we may expect
to get, may be between 4sc and
re.
