tion of the one-mile break at Meadow
to Indian Spring, 93.5 miles from the
National Capital: 1t was at a point
about two and half miles out from
Indian Spring that the first sign OF
dirt road appeared. At 81 miles we
passed the station of Park Head. where
we crossed the tracks of the western
Maryland railroad. Between Park
Head and the town of Milestone we
crossed the railroad tracks twice With
in short intervals These two grade
cross .ngs, however. will be eliminated
with the completion of new road
which is now under way and which Will
connect the present macadam roal

miles. During the work of construc-

traffic. The new road is straight ana

tent is Is miles.
Hancock, distance of 1914 miles
from Washington, was reached at 1U:5o
o'clock. after rather rough going en-
tering the town. which is torn up to
considerable extent by the construc-
tion of trunk sewer through the
main thoroughfare. On the western
terminus of the town. however, we
were favored with another stretch or
good road for the next ten miles. which
carried us over the western slope OF
Sideling hill. as it is called, giving
way to dirt road. The work OF mac
adamizing Sideling hill, which has
been in progress for some time past,
has been entirely completed on both
sides of the mountain range. during
the coming summer about eight more
miles of the road in the direction of
Flintstone will be macadamized, winch
will leave about fifteen miles yet to be
macadamiZed between this point and
Gilpin post office. We ran INTO seVerai

mountain in order to view the beauti-

We found the road at the foot OF the
mountain in fairly good shape, al
though quite muddy in spots, where
the snow had melted. When the odo-
meter of the machine registered lli.4

Grove, Il small settlement situated dl-
rectly in the mountainous district re
yond here the road turned into q red

to skid about in the soft places. due to
not having chains on the rear wheels.
Up the next mountain. known as Town

managed to negotiate the muddy
highway, and about half mile east
of the town Of Gilpin picked up the
macadam road once more. and never
lost sight of the good road until Cum

the roadway was somewhat rough. On
the other side of the town, however,
we picked up the good road once

developed on the entire trip, not even
halting to put on chains over the mud

gasoline was 20 cents per gallon and
oil so cents, as compared with II and

SAFE FARMING RULES
Recommendations Made by De-

Measures VIII Steady Whole System

Cotton Comes In at End

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Six measures for safe farming in
the South are recommended by
the United States department Of ag-
riculture in recent circular. No mat
ter what the price Of cotton may be,
it is said, these measures will steady
the whole system and be Of benefit
both to the individual and the COM
munity. The program recommended
Is as follows:
First. Produce home garden for
every family on the farm, the year
round, paying special attention to a
plot Of Irish or sweet potatoes. Where
feasible, have a patch Of sorghum or
other cane to produce sirup for the
family.
Second. Produce the corn necessary
to support all Of the people on the
farm and tho 1--we stock, with abso-
lutte safety.
Third. Produce the necessary oats
