LOCAL BIDDERS
GET CONTRACT
z. w. Grooms & Co. Lowest
Much Money Spent and
Put in Circulation.

Messrs. 2. W. Grooms & Co., COM
posed of z, W. Grooms of Green
field and Potter Moore and r. E,
Maiden of Dresden, were the sue
kcessful bidders at Nashville last Fri
day for the contract of surfacing the
1913 miles of road or highway be-
tween Dresden and Mckenzie, their
bid being, so Judge Hill, who was
present at the letting to represent
the county's interests, informs the
Enterprise, $28O,000. The Birding
contract went to McAdoo & Kelley
of Obion county for $51 900.
The contract of Messrs. Grooms,
Moore and Maiden includes certain
grading and the surfacing of the
highway from Mckenzie to Dresden,
this link being 1913 miles in length
and is now ready for finishing.
There were hundreds of bidders
for this and other work let by the
state highway commission on the
same day, the bid of the Grooms &
Co. being just $500 below the next
lowest bidder, firm old in the road
construction game. Competition
during the bidding Friday was live
ly, and the biding was close. Each
of the bids received were read in the
open by the commission and record
ed on contract sheets kept in the Of
flee of the state highway commission.
The bringing of this contract to
Weakley county means much to the
county, in that Messrs. Grooms,
Moore and Maiden, being home men,
will employ as much home labor as
it is practical for them to do. This
means that about all the labor will
be Weakley countians, except
perhaps, foreman and some skilled
labor required in this class of work,
which must be done according to
specifications. It will
mean the loosening of vast sums Of
money here. This money will find
its way into the channels Of trade
and all of us Will receive a benefit
from it.
And then, the road! o boyl
Won't it be nice to go to Mckenzie,
Gleason, Martin and Union City with
marry speck of mud on the wheelsl
The surfacing operations will be-
gin just as soon as material and ma
chinery can be got on the ground,
and it is expected that the road will
be finished before bad weather
sets in.
Awarding Of these contracts bring
the total of road construction, I'M
der supervision of the highway de-
partment, in Tennessee to more than
80 projects, members of the commits
sion said.
The biggest project under con-
structon in Tennessee at the pres
ent time is 81 miles of highway in
Granger, Hawkins and Sullivan
counties in the eastern section Of
he state. This contract was let last
November for the consideration of
approximately 81 100000.
State highway officials state that
more than $50 miles Of roads are
now under construction in Tennes-
zee and plans are being drawn up for
he letting of additional contracts.

Advantages of lnfertile Eggs
(R. G. K.)

\8ss VI. ~
After Matching season it pays to kill
the male birds or isolate any that are
valuable as breeders for another year.
During hot weather a hen house may
closely approach the temperature of
an incubator and the eggs will soon
start to grow This is the first step
toward bad eggs. Fertile eggs must
iae gathered very often during hot
weather if they are to be fit for food.
.Infertile eggs are the best for water
.;g.ass preservation. A premium can
frequently be obtained for them from
customers who save eggs each year for
winter use. According to our expert
ence theinfertile eggs preserved in wa
@ter glass give fine satisfaction. Those
who have had bad luck with that meth
ood incur section have been those who
bought eggs without knowing their
source or quality and often put down
fertile summer eggs which had started
10 develop.
In large farm flock containing pos
rsibly tenSto twenty male birds the feed
bill for those birds is worth consider
ing. Maybe only three or four of the
ibest-onesswll ueed to be saved. If the
hens are not pestered through the sum-
mer they will lay Just as we'll or better.
Sometimes ssthe few males that are
saved can be penned up with few
hens and the eggs from those hens re-
tanned for home use.
Poultrymen who sell infertile sum-
mer eggs can feel more confidence in
their business and have less worry.
Some buyers will purchase perfectly
fresh fertile summer eggs that are fine
for food andsthen store them in hot
pantry If the eggs rapidly deteriorate
they will blame the poultryman. Ifin-
fertile eggs.are given such treatment
they will be fit for food.

King Cotton in the Role of a
Pauper.

King Cotton has descended from his
chrome and is now asking for charity.
lie has been playing the role Of pau
per for so many years that he has been
-shorn of his dignity and presents such
a pitiable appearance that he has even
excited the sympathies of the ladies'
These ladies have sent out a hurry call
TO the Nation to come to his rescue,
not because of any qualities he may
possess, but because of his apparent
distress at this time.
Farm and Ranch will endorse any
legitimate move to increase the con-
sumption of cotton, but it has no SYM
pathy with any campaign the results OF
which will be reflected in injured credit
and reputation. The Wear Cotton"
movement will have just such results,
1T will run its course as fad, without
any appreciabie effect on the amount
of cotton consumed. 1t is doomed to
failure, as have been former move
ments of this kind, and has been from
ats inception.
"A Cotton is the most used and most
wonderful of all known fibers, yet its
value is not appreciated by one-half.
This is largely the fault of the manu-
facturers and merchants, who have
failed to popularize cotton goods. They
have advertised foreign fabrics at the
expense of the American product, and
while they have encouraged the rich
and well-to-do in the belief that cotton
rs grown for poor people only, they
have set the price Of the manufactured
product so high that evenEthe poor can
not afford to buy sufficient sfor their
comfort and needs.
The California Raisin Growers As
sociation more than doubled the con-
sumption of their product by an educa-
eional campaign in which the value of
the raisin as food was stressed.
Manufacturers and merchants and 9TH
ers interested in cotton could double
the consumption in America by pre-
senting in proper manner the utility,
qualities and beauty of varions weaves
of cotton goods. No other known fiber
is capable of SO many forms of express
sion and there is no good reason why
more of it should not. be worn.-Farm
:and Ranch.
