Wheat Crop Big Enough.

The following report relative to
the wheat crop of the present year
was sent out from Washington a
few days ago: =
This years wheat crop will be
sufficient for the needs of home
consumption and there will be
enough left to meet normal export
requirements. That is the view Of
government officials, who said the
sensational rise in wheat prices and
a corresponding increase in the
price of -four, following the govern
ment's last report indicating a crop
of about two-thirds the size Of last
years, was the result Of the market
adjusting itself from crop of abb
normal proportions to one of much
smaller size. Experts of the de-
partment Of agriculture calculate
62O,OOO,OOO bushels Of wheat will be
required for home consumption this
year. A crop of 654,OOO,000 BUSH

conditions, would leave 34,000,00O
bushels of this years crop avail.
able for export. In addition, there
is an unusually large carry-oyer Of
old wheat from last years crop
amounting to approximately $780,.
100000 bushels, or about 75,000,-
600 bushels more than the average
carry-over Of the preceding five

COUNTY BUILDING
GOOD ROADS
Splendid Showing Mode BY
Workhouse Commission
Working Convlcts

The PRocREss man, in the last
weekend, had the pleasure Of visit
ing and examining the good roads
building being done by the county
workhouse commission, under the
supervision Of J. W. Belew; the
present work being done on the
Lexington and Scots Hill road.
The work is being done system
atically and we'll, the principle Of
keeping the water off of the road
where possible and so rounding
the roadbed as to make it shed the
rains, being adhered to.
The very bad road on the first
mile out Of town has been given an
appearance which makes it hard to
recognize. The change in appear
ance is as great as changing a man
from being clothed in tatters to an
up-to-date, well made suit.
II the road builders will insist all
the way in giving the new roads
the absolutely necessary convex
surface and follow its construction
by a regular system Of dragging,
our roads so worked are going to be
just as good. summer and winter,
as IS possible without the use Of
rock and gravel. Every piece Of
road left flat and not provided with
the means Of being dragged after
rains will be money absolutely
thrown away. We are told that
the commission is not going to
leave, finally. any piece Of road on
which they work, until these re
quirements are complied with.
The PRocREss is proud Of the
movement for good roads in tn.
county and trusts that the work
may be pushed as much as posi-
Bile before the fall rains set in. The
split log drag used on the good
roads in Weakley county answer
every purpose and the model Of the
drag can be obtained at any time
by application to the road author
tiles Of Weakley county or to Mr..
ice L. Holbrook, editor and pub

On last Sunday the Board Of Med

failed to bring together the railroad
employees and owners in the conten-

day and time and a half for over
time, both sides consented to take
the matter to President Wilson in
the hope that his good offices might
either affect a settlement or suggest
some way in which the calamity Of
general strike might be averted.
The railroad workers were given a
hearing by the President. in Wash
ington. Monday morning and the
representatives Of the railroads were
to meet the President in the after
noon. This is written before the re-
suit Of the conferences with the
President has been known and we
feel free to say that il the President
meets any sort Of success after all
else has failed, it will be a valuable
feather in his cap. The whole coun-
try has been at high tension for sew
eral day in dread Of the possibility
Of a strike which, If it should come
and last but a few days, would be
nothing short Of a national calami-

the constitution of our state is a

The simple truth is that our state

which may really be needed in our
state constitution can be had by
the simple, safe and inexpensive

Many of the innovations pro-

any possibly meritorious changes

There is no general demand or

emanates from special interests
