Sound Arguments In Favor Of Good
Roads and Crop Dversifieation.

Editor Eagle:
Allow us a little space and time
that We might let you know few OF
the happenings OF the Shiloh neigh
borhood
The school has been progressing
nicely and doing well this session, al.
though our principal, Prof p. II. Daw.
son, was sick all last week with an
attack OF Ia grippe and was unable
to teach any during the week. We
were glad to see him ready TO resume
his work Monday morning, and the
school Is now running as nicely as
ever.
The farmers OF the community are
all we'll rested and are anxious to be-
gin their farm work again. as II Is
behind on account Of the recent bad
weather
The farmers have been unable to
travel the, road to Bryan or do any
visiting. as these trips would have
had to be made on foot along the turn
rows Of the fields or through the
woods. Not because they haven't the
horses, wagons and buggies, and not
because they did not feel like hitch.
ing up their teams or unhitching
them, but because the roads have
been in such bad conditions that they
would have pulled a horse to death.
and besides anyone could have made
better time by walking.
There is no need to prove this %
any Of the farmers. because they
know it is true from their own expert.
ences for the last three months.
There is but one way to get better
roads, and that is TO vote for the good
roads bond issue on March 3 and get
better roads to travel. and this will
save ten times the amount of the ad-
ditional tax.
To be half way sure of travel every
farmer has to have a double team
hitched to his buggy. while on a good
road one horse could pull a load with
ease, which nearly kills two horses
at present.
To go to Bryan now on a wagon a
farmer has to drive four mules or
horses and he Is then unable to bring
out good load. Only what little
feed and groceries he needs for his
family's use, and everyone who
makes the trips always comes back
saying the roads are sure tough, and !
that they almost killed their horses |
pulling a little load to or from Bryan, !
and this talk is heard all over the |
county about the bad roads. Talk |
will do no good until the talk is in |
favor of the bond issue.
Our community will progress much |
better when the farmers get the idea

plenty will prevail Raise something

The farmers here are beginning to
realize this now and are going to cut
out the cotton crop to a great extent
and are going to begin planting some

Mr.. Jones is confident that the

returns this year than last year, as
he laid the low prices received in a
large measure to the shipping of
green fruit into the market early in
the season. The crop this year, &C
cording to the best estimates that
are available at the Florida Citrus
Exchange, will be between 65 per
cent and 10 per cent of last years
crop. The crop last year was $780,

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY

But few If any movements started
with the aim of improving road con-
ditions throughout the nation have
gained in a few months the momen-
tum, the encouragement and early
substantial results the Dixie High
way has.
Born only few months ago, the
Dixie Highway is mainly RESPONSE
BILE already for bodybuilding and
improvement that will lay the foun-
dation for future permanent progress
in many communities. The birth Of
the Dixie Highway has bee Indirectly
responsible for the formulation OF
plans in nearly every county
through which it will pass for the
expenditure of monys that will
reach to many millions in the az.
gregate. All along the line of the
great highway, from Chicago Il
Miami, the greatest better highway
enthusiasm has been aroused. Thi!
great interest in behalf of improved
country roads all through that por
ton OF the Central West and Soutl
touched by the route has all beer
stirred up in :,cent months. T., !!

Tampa, Oct. ANNOUNCEMENT of
the citrus fruit maturity standard
by the United States Department of
Agriculture came none too early ap-
parently, for at least one shipment
of grapefruit has left the State and
another started Monday night, ac-
cording to information received here
from East Coast points. R. E. Rose,
State chemist, and at the head of the
citrus fruit inspection and the en-
forcement of the State laws and De-
partment of Agriculture regulations
in lorida, is expected to take steps
in the matter, either directly or by
advising the federal authorities.
l.. d. Jones, manager of the Flor :
ida Citrus Exchange, answered a
question today concerning the posi-
bility that grapefruit might be
ready for shipment now and ripe en-
ough to conform with the federal
departments standard in the mega
tive. He does not believe there Is
any grapefruit in the State ripe en-
ough for shipment, and anticipates
that whatever movement is initiated
will result in the confiscation of the
fruit ind trouble for the shipper as
fast as it reaches its destination.
Federal inspectors will be active
within the State in less than 0 days,
he believes, while the men under Mr.
Rose, who have been called in to
Tallahassee for demonstrations and
experiments with the new tests, will
