COUNTIES TO RUSH WORK
UPON DIXIE HIGHWAY
Charlton and Ware Counties
Have Numerous Road Inn
provementS Under Way

WAYCROSS, Ca, April 2.-Just as
fast as the work can be done the Cen
trail DiXi Highway through Charlton
county Will be sand-cla yed, according to
a report received here today from
Folkston.
A gang is now working between Folk
ston and the river, and will soon begin
on the sandy stretch between Folkston
and the Pierce county line. A number
of small wooden bridges. are going to be
replaced by metal culverts, which Will
be a. decided Improvement. No time is
going to be lost in getting all prelim-
mary details of the proposed st. Marys
river bridge at Kolar's Ferry for which
the necessary money mas been appro-
priated.
In Ware county the unpaved part OF
the Dixie Highway is going to receive
attention promptly. In fact some WORK
started last month is going to be re-
sumed Just as soon as there is sufhclent
rain to pack fills.
Highway boosters of several counties
along the Central route from Macon to
Jacksonville are going to meet in the
near future and perfect plans for sys-
tematic marking of the route. The Of
fetal Dixie Highway signs will be Sc
cured for this work
One plan under consideration ana
likely to be adopted along the central
route is for each county to furnish q
number of sacks of clay or gravel which
will be taken by automobiles and placed
wherever a hole appears in the surface
and thus aid in keeping the highway In
the best condition possible at no great
expense to anyone. An antl-slass
club is going to he organized here too
to collect all glass from along streets
here and from the roads i'm the county.

TRACTORS ARE REPLACING
HORSES FOR FARM USE

CHICAGO. April Here is a mes
SAGE df cheer for the farmers. The low
priced farm tractor has arrived.
The first tractor designed to pull two
plows, appeared two years ago and sold
in large quantities. Up TO the time this
machine was brought out, the smallest
tractors were generally about four-plow
units and sold in the neighborhood of
$500 to $4,000.
To most farmers who already had
reasonable number Of horses an invest
ment in one of the larger machines
meant running considerable risk
The small tractor, at a low price,
placed power farming experience in
reach Of great many people who could
rot otherwise have taken it up.
Since the advent Of the low-priced
tractor this business has increased ire
mendousIy. Almost one-half as many
tractors were produced in 1914 as had
been built since the start of the gas
tractor industry.
During 1915 the output was almost
doubled and indications are that next
year the demand will greatly exceed the
supply. although there is a planned pro-
duction for 1916 of nearly twice as
many machines as were made last year.
Although IL is not TO be expected that
they will replace horses entirely, IL has
been proven tractors can be used i'm con-
rection with horses, TO better advantage
than either the tractor alone or the
horses alone.
statistics show there are $500, 900
farms in the United States on which
tractors can be used successfully. There
are $50 tractors on the market, no two
OF them alike.
Farmers throughout the country are
thinking about and discussing tractors
and many of them are familiar with the
subject. Two or three years ago the
majority of them had only a very indef-
iJite idea as to what tractors or power
farming meant.
Agricultural colleges have given val
table support By including in their
courses instructions in the handling and
maintainence of gas tractors. The all
refund tractor, for which there VIII be
tile biggest demand in the future is one

Safeguard Health and
Purse of Public

NEW YORK. March 51.--An order for
bidding the sale Of live poultry with
food in the crop at the time of sale will
be put into effect Monday in New York
City.
The order was issued by John j. Dill
Ion, state commissioner of foods and
market, who says several million con-
sumers suffer in health and purse from
the widespread practice of stuffing the
crops of birds to increase the weight.
Conditions investigated and described
by the federal department of agricul-
ture two years ago still persist, Mr..
Dillon declared. New Workers are pay
ing $1,000, 900 a year for a mixture of
sand, gravel, meal paste and water. he
said, and the chickens whose crops have
been so stuffed become diseased as a
result and will die in three or four days
if not killed.
