MAKING GOOD ROADS.
Highway Betterment Has Improved the
Value of Farm Land.

-~f
In the results of inquiries made by
federal officers who are supervising the
use of $780, 1000 appropriated for the
improvement of roads there is nothing
more instructive and interesting than
the proof that road betterment has
greatly increased the market value of
farm land, says the New York Times.
A careful investigation was made in
eight representative counties, covering
a period of five years. The record of
many actual transactions shows that
the selling price of farm land within
n mile of the improved roads has
been largely increased, in II county
by 1914 per cent, the additions to value
being from two to three times the cost
of the road work.
The law which appropriate $S0,000,-
900 to be expended in five years, with
the condition that states spend an equal
sum in carrying out an improvement
program, has been in effect for six
months. While only one state has met
all the requirements of it, others have
made a beginning, and all will even
tually undertake to do their share. In
several states delay is due to the need
of new legislation. Careful prepara-
ton has been made by the department
of agriculture at Washington for ex-
pert supervision and inspection of the
improvements for which 160,000,0 900
will be paid. 1t should be noted that
the statute requires local governments
to maintain the new roads i'll good con-
ditiOn.

FARMERS FIGHTING BLIGHT.
New Jersey Gardeners Try Selecting
Harder Seed.

New Jersey Gardeners Try Selecting
Harder Seed.
Some of the most successful market
gardeners In northern New Jersey have
been experimenting recently In com
batting blight in their plants by select
ing for seed purposes only those plants
which showed the strongest growth
and the greatest freedom from disease.
r. w. DeBaun, extension specialist OF
the New Jersey State Agricultural col
lege, believes that this is the proper
procedure in the case of many marker
crops. He advocates, as better than
spraying and other direct methods OF
preventing vegetable blight, more at
tention to the value of developing dis
easesresisting strains from which to
produce seed.
The farm demonstrators i b or
ganized counties are telling the grow
ers that beans grown from a crop
which had rusty pods will very prob
ably produce a crop with similar de-
fects and with fewer beans, while
clean seed has every chance of produc-
ing a clean crop. The agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Madison, Wis, has
recently produced q strain of Danish
cabbage resistant to one Of the chief
ills to which the patient cabbage head
is heir, known as "yellows" or "fusa-
rum" Meanwhile the Maryland sta
ton is experimenting to produce a wilt
resisting tomato.

and light and life.
Notice the paradoxes in the first prop
osition. In the beginning was the Word.
''WaS" is past tense. 1t sounds para
doxical to say that in the very begin
ming somebody had alread yexisted. We
can think back for generations, for CEN
turtles, maybe for aeons but we get back
to a point finally, which we call the be-
ginning; and yet behind that point the
Word was And the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. Two per-
sons existing in association with each
other and yet being the same person Is
something We cannot explain. We can
only accept it. Critics have made much
fun of Johns term for the second per-
son in the Godhead, and yet what is
more natural, for the second person in
the Godhead was the One through
whom the Godhead expressed itself.
When God would express His power and
make a world the second person was the
One who exercised that power, and thus
expressed the power of the Godhead.
And when God wanted to communicate
His love 70 rman it was the second
person who came. to show what Gods
love is, to show man that God is love.
Words are our means of expressing our
selves, of communicating one with an
other, of letting one personality share
what another personality has, and there
fore Johns use of the term ''Logos," or
WORD" is the most apt term that he
could have used to express the truth.
One of the saddest things in all of
human history is that when this second
person of the Godhead came unto His

darkness of sin and ignorance and SUI
perstitnon and prejudice had blinded

Any Of the large breeds of hogs will
do well in Georgia The Tamworth has
been quite extensively used as a grazing
animal in many parts of the state. In
other sections the Poland China is a
favorite. Some breeders prefer the
Hampshires, others the Duroc-Jerseys
and still others the Berkshires. One
should, of course, secure a good strain
Of foundation stock and in selecting the
animals should choose them from herds
noted for prolificacy, early maturity and
disease resistancy. There is much diff
ference in this respect.
We do not think a farmer need worry
too much over which breed he selects,
provided he handles them to the best
advantage. The Tamworth is a good
grazer, possibly little better in this
respect than the Poland China They
are also a rather prolific breed. They
are long legged and long shouted, but
produce a fine, deep side and good hams,
i'm which the fat and lean are we'll inter
blended. They mature relatively early.
There is no reason why you should not
be able to handle these hogs for part
of the year on grazing crops. 1t will no
doubt be necessary at times to supplant
the ration thus provided with a satisfac-
tory amount of corn. Corn and corn meal
and velvet beans mixed together in equal
proportions will make a good supple
mental ration. You can also use some
peanut meal with the corn meal
One should of course produce a sue
cession of grazing crops and to that end
you can plant rape in the early spring
Then, of course, you should have an
abundance of legumes, as they will prove
more effective in developing and main

WITH TEAL SHOW
New Prima Donna Given
Hearty Reception; New
Show Laugh Maker.

Miss Madeline Lee made her first
appearance with the Raymond Teal
company at the Crawford Thursday
night, and, if her first reception is a
criterion, she is going to be a big
drawing card for this popular organ
ization- Miss Lee had but a small role
in the new production and only sang
one song number. but in each she
demonstrated her ability. She has a
splendid singing voice and in her
song, "Mammy's Coal Black Rose"
she was recalled several times by
the hearty applause OF the audience
A big. beautiful bouquet found its
way over the footlights to the singer
after the first encore. The Teal
ducklings assisted in the song num-

is up TO the usual standard of the

laughable lines and funny situations
and packed and damned with good
song numbers, well rendered by ca

no second raters in its makeup.

demands an explanation and he tells
her he has been attending the Elks'

be genuine Elk. Long finally con-
fesses to his fatherinlaw that he is

sumes an air OF injured innocence
