A SOIL SURVEY.

Through the efforts of Representa-
tive Padgett the government of the
United States is going to send one OF
its experts from the department OF
agriculture to make a soil survey OF
Maury county. This should prove to
be a valuable achievement for the
people of the county. While it is true
that scientific farmers do not place
as much stress upon soil analysis as
they did few years ago, it is well
that we should have in this, admitted
ly the best agricultural section of Mid
die Tennessee, an accurate and author
tative survey of all of the soils. 1t
Will be worth much to the farmers and
give us better knowledge of what we
have. The expert should receive the
hearty cooperation of the citizens of
the city and county in making the sur
vey.

PUBLIC Pixies.

1t is a matter of congratulation to
the people of the county, that the JUS
tees in special session, so quickly
and almost unanimously disposed OF
the question Of purchasing the pixies
by promptly ratifying and consummat'
ing the agreement heretofore made
with the owners. The court in good
faith could really do nothing else. The
turnpike owners having complied with
their part of the agreement OF pur'
chase the court was really in honor
bound to carry the trade through.
But aside from any legal obligation
or moral responsibility upon the part
of the court it acted wisely and for
the best interests of the people in pur-
chasing the pixies. Too long Maury
county has Jagged behind in the pro-
gressive matter of public ownership OF
its highways, Too long have our peo-
ple tolerated the dual system of part
private and part public roads, one that
in effect means little system at all
We could not if we tried have really
great system of highways where a
portion of the roads are subject to one
control and a portion subject to anoth-
er interest
There has been a good deal of dema-
gogic rot INDUCED in about the main
tenance of the pixies purchased The
issue has been beclouded in the minds
Of many well-meaning citizens by try
ing to make it appear that the mainte-
nance of seventy miles of roads will
be an insurmountable burden to the
people. AS matter of fact the pur-
chase of the pixies and the opening Of
the toll gates adds about eight per cent
only to the free roads of the county
Considering the splendid record that
Maury county has made in road con-
struction and road maintenance with
the small tax levy made for that pur-
pose it is reasonable to suppose that |
only a slight additional increase in
taxes will be required to keep up the
pixies.
Anyone familiar with the roads Of
the county eight or ten years ago and
who travels about now can easily see
in almost every section evidences of
Improvement and progress. Roads
that were formerly little less than
trails, that were in creek beds, that
forded streams end ways, are now
good country highways, suitable for
most any sort of traffic. There is F.,
much more sentiment for the roads,
people take livelier interest in their
lpkeep than ever before. These
things have been achieved with a tax >
evy that will compare most favorablY !
With any in the state. 1t will not q
'rove a difficult task to keep up about "
light per cent more of public roads. .
The acquisition of the pixies really =
dds nothing to the road problem OF 4
he county.
