This law removes all question as to
the power of the county court to act
at its regular July session on a propOs-
al from the state highway depart
ment to cooperate in the construction
of system of permanent highways
IN Maury county.
1t has been estimated that the cost
of the proposed roads would be $12,-
600 mile. The project includes the
highways through, Spring Hill to Co
lumbia, from Columbia to Mt. Pleas
ant and the Lawrence county line and
from Columbia on the Pulaski pike to
the Giles county line, including about
43 miles. The county's portion of the
cost would be ope-third or $4,000 a
mile This would require bonds of
approximately $4,000.
Although the project will be sub
mitted for the full project, State En-
gineer W. p Moore has stated that
only a portion OF the work could be
undertaken at present with the funds
now available in the state highway de.
partment, but that with the full
amount of bonds authorized they
could be sold and utilized as the state
highway funds became available. :
1t is generally conceded that the
court, will promptly take action that
will clinch Maury county's opportu-
nifty to secure this state aid for the
construction of permant highways
Public sentiment Is practically mani
nous in favor of it.

CORN LOOKS FIFTY
PER CENT BETTER N
PAS! TWO. WEEKS:
COUNTY AGENT M'LEAN SEES
BETTER OUTLOOK FOR CROP
SINCE RAINS SLACK.
STALK IS LARGE AND sApPY
Urges Continued Shallow Cultivation
Especially Where Corn and soy
Beans Have Been Planted In Same
Row.

Corn looks SO per cent better now
than it did two weeks ago, according
to E. A. Mclean, county farm demon.
stratiOn agent, who has during that
time been into practically every Sec
ton Of the cohnty. The plant is unus-
ually sappy, because of the heavy
rains and the stalk is large, but most
of the moderately early varieties are
tassling and silking.
Commenting on the proper cultfva-
ton of corn at this season, Mr.. Nc
Lean said that shallow cultivation Is
most essential for corn, after the
weeds have been covered or exposed
to the sun. A Gee Whizz" or IL
tooth harrow should be run through
the corn as long as possible, because
this will draw the moisture near the
surface and hold it there as long as
the surface is scratched and stirred
about every ten days, If the weather
remains dry.
After rains the soil should be
scratched as soon as the surface Is
dry enough. This prevents new GER
minatiQn of weed seeds and holds
the water near the surface for the
roots of the corn to absorb.
Corn that produces two ears to the
stalk, such as Meals Paymaster,
should be thinned to "a inches in the
drill.
Where soy beans have been planted
In corn it should be thinned to "a to
30 inches and some of the beans
should be chopped out when too thick.
1t is very necessary. to continue shall
low cultivation as long as possible
where corn and soy beans are planted
in the same row.

Advising the men of the Sixth dis

working of the new road law. He
says that when he listed the men
for road work he advised them
to work out their commute

with the county engineer and mem
bers of the county commission he is
convinced that he was wrong and that
it is to the best interest Of the roads
of the district for every man to pay
his SIS tax. Mr. Hollis statement fol

of eighteen and fifty years shall be
