JEFFERSON DAVIS
HIGHWAY LINK
NORTH AND SOUTH
lconlInued From Is Pare.l

Continued From First Page.i
just as soon as officials and members
get busy and complete the highway ac-
cording to the proper standards, Mr..
NorVeil said.
Another reason" said Mr.. Norveu,
for promptly completing our highway,
arises from the nature of our state
highway tax law. The road taxes are
contributed uniformly by each county,
based on property valuation. but is ex-
pended exclusively through the state
highway department, on a pro rata plan
Of so much by the highway department
and so much by the county engaging
the fund. But no county can engage
this FUND without first complying with
the highway department standards and
presenting a route that the highway de-
partment would deem practical. And
any county that does not in this man
ner engage this fund, simply pays
taxes for building highways for other
counties more progressive. The JEFF
ferson Davis Highway association al
ready has assurance from the state
highway commission that it is ready
to participate in the building Of this
route.
Delay Will Be Costly.
The longer we put off building the
jefferson Davis highway t. meet the
highway department standard, the
longer we will continue to pay taxes
to build highways for other sections Of
the state. And / understand that the
highways laws in the other states
which the jefferson Davis highway
peuetrates are fashioned pretty much
in the same amer. Also the federal
aid proposition works in conjunction
with the state highway department
and when we lose one we lose both.
There is one, other thing" Mr.. Nor
veil concluded, "the government is
planning to expand its program Of aid
to states in road building based upon
progress made in road construction in
the several states applying for govern
ment aid. Unfortunately the Jefferson
Davis highway will participate very
negligibly under such a plan, as it Is
a fact that our road interests over the
greater portion of this route are OF
only ordinary development. We must

Mississippians Get Hot.

The temperature in the Chamber of
Commerce shed its shirt and climbed
to approximately $40 in the shade when
the delegates to the highway convention
from the proposed east and west routes
Of the jefferson Davis highway through
North Mississippi became involved in
a controversy over the claims of the
delegates of the eastern route that
the course of the highway had been
definitely established their way at a con-
v@ention at Grenada four years ago. The
men from the counties of the western
route ella ned that the Grenada conven-
ton at which the decision was favor
able to the eastern counties was made
was an adjourned convention and not
properly organized. Hot words began
to belCh forth and the timid cast their
eyes about for the nearest exits, The
argument was in full swing with no de-
cision in sight when the noon adjourn
ment occurred. The leat RS of the rival
factions were Steven w. Mullins, of
Holly Springs, the eastern route, and
f. c. Holmes, fernando, the western
route.
The controversy was innocently pre-
cipitated by Mr.. Norvell when he an
nounced that he would appoint a COM

address, counted one of the most i'm

by the general discussion of the two
proposed routes through Mississippi and
other subjects that delegates might
bring up; the election of officers, next
meeting date and place Of meeting.

Cleburne Farmers Busy

The shipment of a cooperative carioad of hogs by the farmers of Cleburne coun- ty recently marks turning point in the agricultural life of that county Instead of buying meat at nearby jobbing cen- ters the Cleburne county farmers will hereafter not only provide for their ow!T needs by putting up meat in smokehouses but they will ship their surplus product to less favored communities elsewhere.
 Although successfully handled in other portions of the state, the Cleburne county farmers had never tried cooperative si ipment of hogs until recently. Farm Demonstration Agent F. R. Carlson of the Alabama extension service at Fruit hurst arranged for the first shipment tNe latter part of April. Seventy-two hogs were gotten together and were graded l.. T. Wells of the marketing division O. the Alabama extension service at Auburn. who was assisted by F. S. Pace of Aubu1S and MT. Draper of the Southern railway.
 The hogs were shipped to the National Stock Yards. East St. Louis, Ill. uncon- signed, and dressed hogs were selling that day in Heflin for IS cents. Returns from the carload indicated net return to the farmers of Y cents per pound the No. hogs on hoof netting nearly IS cents when figured separately, the same price as farmers would have received locally for their dressed product. Nineteen hundred and eighty dollars have been distributed throughout the county to the owners of these hogs, all of whom are well pleased with the results of the sale and express their desire to continue the method em- ployed At least s400 were saved the farm of the county on this one ship ment alone

Tomatoes Save a Home

A 14-year-old canning girl in Boyle county. Kentucky. is the daughter Of a widow There are four younger chill dren. They own their own home. com fcrtable cottage with two acres of ground. and the mother sews to support the five girls. Last year the oldest little girl joined the local canning club. Besides canning for the familys use, she canned tomatoes for sale. Proceeds from the first cans bought shoes for herself and sisters. but the bulk of the products were sent away for sale.
 The cost of living rose in Boyle county during the war, as elsewhere, while the pay for sewing remained at prewsr basis. Tax day came and the mother of the five for the first time had no money to pay The property was advertised v be sold for taxes A few days before the date of the sale letter came to the club member. All her canned tomatoes had been sold, and the check for them was inclosed. The amount more than cov- cred the taxes due and their house is their own again.

More Poultry Produced

Poultry production increased to 20 per cent during 1917 and 1918 in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, which comprise district No 3 of the emergency extension poultry work being conducted by the United States Depa rtment of Ak riculture. Efficiency in poultry manage ment through the application of better methods, advocated by poultry specialists of the department and state colleges. has dcne more to increase production than the keeping of a greater number of fowls, says the departments representative i- this district. In the culling campaign fiji one state enough money was saved to farmers by disposing of 20o,0oo stacker hens to more than pay the expenses tn- cured for all of the extension work car ried on in that state. and this culling work was only a part of the extension enterprise.
 It was the one campaign wherein re- suits were immediate, however, and il also afforded a definite basis upon which to estimate and tabulate the financial saving The better poultry" and "early hatch campaigns were of even greater importance, and the saving and conser- vation of food through the preserve eggs" and the "infertile egg" campaigns run well up into the hundreds of thou sands of dollars the representatives re- port More stress is now being placed upon the educational features of poultry ork to insure greater efficiency in man asement The farmer or poultry raiser will not be content in the future with an average egg yield of six or seven dozen for each hen when 1t is known that the average yield should be from nine to = dozen.

Girls Have Market Booth

The canning club girls of Hamilton county, Tennessee, have conducted in the city market house booth which has been a decided success. The city corh- f1issioners donated the stall, and the club women the other stallkeepers and the market master have given the girls fine cooperation.
 The girl in charge-a member of one of the clubs organized by the Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural college-is paid by collecting percentage on sales. Some weeks the percentage amounts to SIS to $20. Homemade articles of cooking are sold exclusively. These include breads, beaten biscuit, candy. cakes and All brand canned products. A stove was placed in the stall and on 1t orders for specials not on hand can pc made by the girl in charge. TWO giris have been needed Saturdays for the work. The workers wear white waists ana the officials uniform cap and apron.
 This market stall provides place where all goods put up by women and girls un- der the instruction of the county agent can be disposed of at profit. The charge made for handling the products has been 15 per cent for the women and 10 per cent for the girls. Many or the girls have regular customers who wfAi purchase only their particular beaten DIS cults, cakes or cookies. During the hoii- day season holly wreaths and crocheteo articles were sold. Orders are also taken for handmade rugs, woven, braided or crocheted The county agent makes reg ular visits.
