FRANK CARLISLE'S
OPINION OF FRANCE

Mrs. J. b. Carlisle has received the
following letter from her son, Frank,
who left here with Company A, and
is now helping to hold down a small
corner of France:
Flavigny. France, Feb. 6.
Ny dearest Mother: Your long look
ed for letters received yesterday.
They are the first messages I've had
from home since I've been over here.
You ask about the weather conditions
here. When we first came the weather
was awful; it rained all the time, but
it is better now. Altho' there has
been for three weeks several inches
of snow on the ground, it really is not
very cold.
| am feeling fine. / was sick in
bed one day and French girl was
very kind and attentive and brought
my meals up to me.
The French people are very good
and appreciative, but in many ways,
am sorry to say. take advantage of
the Americans; charge them two
prices for everything, and they have
stopped our big trucks from running
because they say they are wearing
their roads out. | am writing this
letter in the house of a good old
French lady. She lived in the United
States thirty years ago and enjoy
talking with her
You express the wish that / might
return "heart whole and fancy free.''
| see many pretty girls here, but you
need not worry. mother dear, about
mt losing my heart over here, for al
though | am many miles away my
heart is still in the dear old u. S. A.
Give my love to all at home and to
my friends and tell them l would be
glad Co know that ] am remembered
by them. Remember me to Mr.. Ben
jamin and Mr.. Leavengood at the Star
Office. am with company of New
Jersey boys who did good fighting at
the front, good men all of them. With
love to all.
Your devoted son, Frank

MORE THAN 100000
AUTOS IN GEORGIA

Georgia's 00,0OO-mark in motor
vehicles was passed on Tuesday, when
a license tag bearing the number
100000" was issued to j. H. Smith,
professor of accounting in the Com
mercial High School at Atlanta.
This is the first time since the
motor vehicle law was passed for the
automobile registration to go to 100,-
600. Prior to the passage of the
state law, motor vehicles were IL
censed by the municipalities of the
state. Last year the numbers ran
above $4,000, but the 100000 mark
was not reached.
1t is estimated that the sale of
license tags will run at least to no.
600 this year.
When we consider that many cars
are being used without tags it is ap-
parent that an auto tax in this state,
which could be made effective against
all cars, would produce handsome
sum with which to build roads.

OUTLINE OF PROPOSED
ANDREWS HIGHWAY BILL

Atlanta, Ca, April PA state
highway system that reaches every
county seat in the state, and giving
each county it's just share and pro-
portion of highways, is provided in
the Andrews bill, which will be in
troduced at the next session OF the
legislation. Judge T. E. Patterson,
chairman of the Highway Department
has analysed the measure and given
it his unqualified endorsement. The
author of the bill is Col. Walter P.
Andrews, of Atlanta, former state
senator, who has been devoting many
years to the subject of good roads and
is recognized as an authority on the
subject.
The bill provides for bond issue
of thirty million dollars, to be known
as Georgia Road Bonds. They are to
bear interest not exceeding 5 per cent
annually, and shall be free from any
tax or other charges leviable in Geor-
gia or in any other state, and are to
be retired in twenty years.
The Highway Commission will be
representative of the whole state,
there being a member from each con-
gressional district. The chairman of
the commission will be competent
engineer, who will supervise the work
of construction and majntainance.
His salary is fixed at $4,000 year,
wit htraveling expenses. The salary
of the commissioners will be SO a
day and travelling expenses while IN
the discharge of their duties.
Under the bill special taxes are to
be levied by the general assembly
upon motor vehicles of not less than
SO cents per horse power for passen-
ger vehicles; $500 each for motor
cycles, and $25 per ton capacity for
trucks and tractors using pneumatic
tires, and double this amount upon
trucks and tractors when solid tires
are used, annually. The special taxes
will be first applied to the payment
of interest on the road bonds and the
principal as it may fall due.

BUILDING UP POOR LAND

There are many thousands of acres
of land that must be fertilized and
planted in vigorous growing legumes
for two or three years, before corn,
oats and other crops that should en-
ter into systematic rotation of crops
can be profitabls grown. The most
vigorous growing legumes should be
grown on the poorest soil, and appli-
cations of acid phosphate made wher-
ever phosphorus is needed until the
soil is fertile.
No crop that impoverishes the soil
should be grown on any acre of land
on the farm for more than two years
in succession, a systematic rotation
of crops should be practiced; prac-
ticalIy all of the feedstuffs grown
should be fed to livestock and the
manure carefully saved and applied
to the land.
We should depend mainly upon
deep blowing, systematic rotation
of crops, including legumes, the adj
dition of humus and the application
of acid phosphate and barnyard ma
nure to increase the productiveness
of the soil. An occasional applica-
ton of lime on other than lime soil
will improve the mechanical condi-
ton, promote bacterial growth and be
especially useful in producing more
favorable conditions for the growth
of leguminous crOps.-The Progress
sive Farmer.

PARTNERSHIP OF FATHER
AND SON ON THE FARM

AS the rehabilitation of the army
proceeds and great many sons are
returned to their fathers farms the
question of the status of the boy on
the farm is worthy of consideration.
In some cases he will be the hired
man, in others he will be a partner.
If partnership, upon what basis shall
it be?
One of Iowa's prominent agricultu-
raj men suggests that the son buy
one-half share of the fathers ma
chinery, horses, and other work stock,
giving his note for the value of the
one-half share and chattle mortgage
for security, father and son sharing
equally in expenses and net profit,
minor adjustments for live stock, etc.,
being made to suit individual cases.
An arrangement of this kind will
give young man of the right kind an
and encourage him to stay
on the farm, and where such situa-
lions arise it is believed that this
plan is worthy of consideration. Where
no plan is adopted and business ar
rangements drift along in an unde-
termined manner young men are apt
to lose interest in the farm and a
regrettable amount of friction devel-
op. In case that something should
happen to either party, if such an
arrangement has been perfected, the
matter of settling up the business is
materially sinplified.
