ANOTHER BLUFF
THOROUGhF'ARE.


Thirty-first street Is to be paved
With asphaltic concrete from
Fourteenth to Eighteenth avenue. 1t
was decided this morning in pub
lie hearing before the board Of
local improvements at the city
hall.
The original proposition was to
rave the street between the ave-
nues named and Eighteenth ave-
nue from Thirtieth to Thirty-flrst
street. The one block OF avenue
paving was to be boulevarded with
q percentage OF the cost Of this
work spread over the whole prof.
ect. To this the Thirty-first street
property holders strenuously OBJ
jected and the avenue paving was
stricken off the roll. A new esti-
mate Of the work will be made by
City Engineer Wallace Treichler,
taking in only the four blocks on
Thirty-first street between Four
teenth and Eighteenth avenues. 1t
Is expected that this estimate will
hover near the $17,960 mark, being
the estimated cost for identical i'm
pr0vements on several other streets
In the bluff district from Thirtieth
to Forty-sixth street and between
Fourteenth and Eighteenth ave-
nues.
An ordinance will be prepared
for presentation to the city COM
missioners Monday. The project
accounts for another of the cross
streets in the district, which will
leave only Thirty-fourth and
Thirty-flfth streets yet to be taken
up and Eighteenth avenue from
Forty-fourth to Thirtieth streets.
City Pushing Work.
All the projects in the district
were taken up upon petitions Of
the property holders with the ex-
ception of Thirty-first and Thirty
second streets. These the city has
pushed through in an effort to
round out the improvements in the
district.
Explain About Twentieth.
Mayor Harry M. Schriver took oc-
easion to explain to the Thirty-sixth
street property holders about the
proposed paving of Twentieth
street between Seventh and Ninth
avenues. He said that the ordi-
nance providing for the paving of
the street with brick had been
passed, and the matter taken into
court to have the assessments con-
f1rmed.
He explained that the city is in
shutting the action the same as on
Thirty-first and Thirty-second
streets, but asserted that the Twen-
tieth street property holders are
objecting. However, he said that
the street is one of the worst
thoroughfares in the city, and that
the city is going to stick for the i'm.

In connection with the reports OF
nationwide price cutting, the depart

at Washington announced on Thurs
day that foodstuffs showed the great
est increase between March Is and
April Is of any thirty day period
since April, 1915.
The advance for twenty-five COM

ty-one cities, and reached the high

The increase was greatest in
Cleveland, Detroit, indianapolis and
St. Louis, where prices were boosted
8 per cent. ,,,
Potatoes led in the advance. Milk,
eggs, lard, navy beans and 'prunes
were the only articles among the
twenty-five to decline in price, The
average increase in wholesale prices
for the same period was more than
per cent, cloths and clothing alone
showing decrease in price for the
month.

When the soy bean is compared
with the cowpea it is more valuable
in many ways.
First. 1t will collect more nitro
gen from the atmosphere than will
the cowpea, thus being great soil
improver.
Second. The seed will remain on
the ground until late fall-November
or Observation-Disclosures rotting, thus
giving longer grazing period.
Third. 1t is erect in growth, with
out runners, and can therefore be
more easily cut for hay or silage.
Fourth. 1t will resist drouth bet
ter than the cowpea will
Fifth. There are varieties of soy
beans that will mature seed much
earlier than the earliest varieties of
cowpeas; hence it can be planted
earlier and later than the cowpeas
Sixth. 1t will produce far more
grain than will the cowpea; and the
richer the soil the more grain there
will be; whereas the cowpea makes
more vine and less peas.

Farmers Who Pay Income Tax.

that regardless of special circum-
stances, farming which looks to food
harvests as we'll as to cotton is better
balanced, more scientific, more bust
nesslike and, therefore, more re-
munerative than that which stakes
its entire fortune on single crop.
This was true long years before the
boil weevil dreamed of crossing the
Mexican border; but as an enforcer
of the truth and an awakener of
many who hitherto slept, the pesti-
ferrous insect has been worth more
than all the millions in cotton he has
devoured.
There are probably ten, perhaps
a hundred times as many income tax
payers in Georgia as there would
have been if the all-cotton farmer
had gone on unreformed. For in
even the best of years it was keep
ing the rank and file of the planters
in debt, and in por seasons was driv-
ing them close to disaster. Thanks

Ninth. It's chief advantage over
the cowpea is that it is richer in pro-
tein and fat. It contains an average
of 1874 per. cent of protein and 20.4
per cent of oil, as compared with
.25.3 per cent of protein and 1.8 per
cent of oil in cowpeas.
On the other hand the cowpea has
some advantage over the soy bean:
First. The soy bean cannot be
grown as we'll as the cowpea in corn.
Second. 1t cannot be grown as
we'll broadcast, for the seed do not
terminate uniformly, because they
need more moisture.
Third. Soy bean hay is harder to
cure, because leaves shed so readily.
Fourth. The soy bean must, to

POSTAGE STAMP
STATISTICS AWESOME
FIFTY BILLION WERE USED DUR
ING LAST YEAR. WOULD
REACH 763,22O MILES.

The statistics fiend of the post
Office department has been turned
loose, and some of his work has made
its appearance. The statistics per-
son has juggled 50,000,0 100000 post
age stamps, the number used during
1919, and the result runs something
like this:
The 5O,0O0,OOO,OO0 stamps, divid-
ed among the 110,000,0O0 people of
the nation allows each man, woman
and child 454 stamps each.
If placed in a line, their perforat-
ed edges just touching one another,
the string would be 763,220 miles
long.
The stamp train would reach from
the earth to the moon, back to the
earth, then to the moon once more
and there would be enough stamps
remaining to twice encircle the globe
at the equator.
A railroad train, starting at one
end of the strip, making a nonstop
run on level track at speed of
sixty miles an hour would require
nearly a year and a half to reach
the other end of the stamp string
$50 days, or 1920 hours.
If the stamps were spread out on
single sheet they would cover a
field of 1915 acres, or an area of
fourteen and two-thirds square miles.
A total of 1850 tons of gum and
2,125 tons of ink was required in the
making of the years supply of
stamps.
Here the statistician quit. But
there is another interesting fact in
connection with these stamps,
wrought from the brain of a Sioux
City statistician. 1t is rather hypo-
thetical in form, and is as follows:
Assuming that the Congressional
Record could be reduced to 1000
copies a year, each composed of thir-
ty pages, and that if the government
had saved all the tiny bits of paper
lost in perforating between the
stamps for the last 100 years, the
department would now save enough
paper to supply the requirements of
the congressional publication for the
next $4,000 years.

aid, ninety per cent of the farmers
who have made money show that they

the other hand, those that depended

doned the all-cotton plan for sys-

with the convention month off the
.I;+ical situation in the democratic
Itote camp is about as follows:
The formidable combination estab-

,,ron the boom for vice presidency,
S+arted for him when the state dele
oates met here two weeks ago. he
declares that under no clrcum-
stances will he accept that nomlna-
tion if it is offered to him.

the outcome in San Francisco. IL

Is entirely probable Mr.. Smith Will
refuse to be a candidate for COVER
NOR for a second term. He STANDS
for a moderate wet plank and liberal
State regulation under the federal
prohibition amendment.
McAdoo Forces Weak.
State leaders frankly express
amazement at the weakness of the
Tunn-McAdoo forces. Backed by
the white house and inspired by Mr.
McAdoo. the insurgent movement
looked formidable, and the demo
Gratis feared they had a hard fight
on their hands, but instead it has
dwindled out into little more than
a factional contest for supremacy IN
Schenectady county. Even in Sche,
nectady Mayor Lunh was compelled
to appeal to the governor for help.
The mayor insisted that state patron
age was being used by the opposition
and demanded the governor call of
the organization. Mr.. Smith respond
ed promptly by insisting that the ma
yor's opponents, who are regular
democrats, must not use canal pa
tronage in their local contests.
The Lunn-McAdoo combination is
understood to have combed the state
in the effort to find support among
prominent Independent democrats.
The attitude taken by many of the
prominent men to whom the appeal
was directed was that this was bad
time to try to start a fight against
Tammany.
1t seems probable that the insur-
gents will not have more than eight
or ten votes in the state delegation
to the national convention.
