GOOD
ROADS
NORTH AND SOUTH HIGHWAY
Memorial to Character and Achieve
ment OF Andrew Jackson-Road
Born in Sunny South.

(By p. L. ATHERTON. President of
jackson Highway Association.)
The idea of great North and South
highway, as memorial to the charac-
ter and achievement of Andrew Jack
son was first conceived about 1910 by
the Daughters OF 1912, an organiza-
ton of patriotic representative south
ern women.
AS first outlined, the scheme was to
perfect highway leading from Chi
cago to New Orleans. More or less
missionary work was done along the
proposed line of the road by the Jack
son highway committee of the Daugh-
tiers of 1872, of which committee Miss
Alma Rittenberry of Birmingham, Ala,
was chairman, but no definite form
was given to the organization until in
July, 1915, at meeting in Birming-
ham, Ala.
At this meeting temporary organi-
cation was formed, consisting of men
interested in good roads from Indiana,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. 1t was further
determined at this meeting that the
Jackson highway should run from Chi
cago on the northwest to Louisville,
KY, and from Niagara Fails on the
northeast to the same point, the two
divisions here joining and continuing
southwark through Nashville to New
Orleans.
A few weeks later the Jackson High
way association convention, for the
purpose of forming permanent or
ganization and of formally launching
the whole movement, was held in
Nashville, Tenn. The permanent or
ganization was effected at this conven-
ton.
In the rapid development of the
good roads movement in the last five
years various local road organizations
have been formed in the states through
which the Jackson highway runs, and
a great deal of valuable work done
in improving roads controlled by these
organizations. The Jackson highway
completed, will be largely the welding
together of road systems developed by
these smaller associations, making a
continuous north and south highway
between Chicago on the northwest,
Buffalo on the northeast, and New Or
leans on the south.
At the present time about nine
tenths of the road in Indiana and Ken
lucky is IN very good condition; In
Tennessee about three-fourths of the

bama and Mississippi more than one
half of the total distance is now in
good order, and both states are rapid
ly building the unimproved sections of
their road and improving the condi-
tions of such portions of the road as
are partially constructed.

lies In thoroughness. No matter how

submarine warfare than Germany has
waged since the beginning OF the

This sentiment | found unanimous
today in a visit to the great Leipzig

attitude OF the people toward sub

American controversies.
Leipzig's opinion is OF the great.

But II has been formed for the
most part on inaccurate English
reports of what Is going on at Wash

The result is that the people Of
Leipzig believe there is difference
between what President Wilson does
and what the American people want
him to do. They count President VIII
son as an enemy and the American
people as their passive friends.
Leading business men told the
United Press very frankly today that
they desire continuance of good re-
lations with the United States. not
because Of the relations themselves,
but because American Intervention
might prolong Germany's task Of
winning the war.

) OREGON WEATHER
WILL GROW BEET SEED.

The bulk of the first shipment OF
sugar beet seed to Grants Pass for
the present seasons planting has
demonstrated something of the mag
nitude Of the industry Of growing
seed for the beet fields OF the United
States. The $4,000 pounds OF seed
received here is sufficient to plant
an acreage that will supply beets only
up to one-half the capacity of the
factory being built here. That the
promoters OF the local factory are
anticipating the production of seed
here is evident from experiments
which the ofiicials are preparing to
conduct. In recent issue OF the
Portland Telegram the manager Of
the Oregon-U Utah company made the
following statement regarding the
beets grown In this valley:
illustrating that the soil and eli
mate Of southern Oregon are supe-
rior for producing sugar beets. last
January, F. s. Bramwell, the COM
pany's field superintendent, pulled
some OF the beets grown last season
for analysis. They showed the high
percentage OF 22 in saccharine. Last
month. George Austin. who has been
with the Utah-Idaho Sugar company
26 years, pulled some Of the beets in
fields near Grants Pass which he pro-
nounced the highest quality he had
ever seen. From these disclosures.
it is evident that the best beet seed
can be grown In Rogue River valley.
In the intermountain states it is me-
cessary to pull in the fall and store
for next springs planting beets in
tended to produce seed. whereas in
Rogue River valley, where killing
frost seldom or never occurs, seed
beets can be left in the ground
throughout the winter. This is an
advantage which gives further as
surance that the sugar industry in
southern Oregon will be a pro-
nounced success from the outset"
