ROAD MEETING TODAY
LARGELY ATTENDED
People From Every Section Show
Their Interest In Most PerpleXing
Problem In Local Government

The road meeting held at the
Opera House this afternoon was
largely attended by citizens from
every district in the county, the
crowd estimated at from sou to SV0
persons, The fact Of so many beng
present proves conclusively that the
dominant question in the minds OF
larger number of the people OF the
count today is not international
problems. tariffs, currency or any OF
the national issues but how are they
going to get around from place to
place in Dorchester, not only at pres
ent but in the future as well.
So long as dry weather continues
automobiles and all kinds of vehlcles
will go over the roads. even if they
do bump from one hole to another,
and possibly only get half the wear
from automobile tires that they
should, break a good many springs
Jar their cars and vehicles to pieces
much quicker than is necessary, pul
the trouble is how are tertlllzers'
crops, people. etc, going to get from
place to place when the rainy Weatn-
err sets in and can the public aHofd
the additional expense that is incur
red by travelling on roads full OF
holes and how much money are these
roads costing per year.
The County Commissioners appfo-
priated for the fiscal year from May
lst 1920 to April so, 1921, the sum
of SlG4,O0O for road purposes and
all of this was expended during the
first eight months of the year, but
the public wants to know what it
got for this money? What was
done toward permanent roads? what
are the prospects that another year
will find the roads better than they
are this? What insurance is there
that the next winter will be mild,
dry one as this winter has been?
What steps have been taken to see
that the taxpayers of the county are
getting value received for the money
expended?
One of the objects of the meeting
is to get a competent County Roads
Engineer; the idea of those interest
ed in the subject being that it is
next to impossible to expend any
large sum of money economically
without a head, and, at present, the
Road System of Dorchester County
costing the taxpayers Of the county
100000 annually, is without any
individual mead, the district super
yisors having charge of the work in
their respective sections, and these
of course have as many different
opinions as to road building as they
have with reference to religion, poll
tics or any other subject upoN which
individuals differ, so that the coun-
ty has as many different systems OF
road operations as there are opln-
ions among its supervisors.
On account Of the fact that with
the doors and windows open the |
Opera House was cold and due to
the further fact that those in the rear
could not hear the SPEAKERS, many |
of those present left before the
meeting was over.

usually are not told In a ''nonbrag-

such records. The man who raises
three pigs per SOW seldom remembers
much about the record or very firmly

his ~neighbors. The normal farrow OF
a sow Is eve to nine pigs. About 10
per cent Of these either are dead

WHITE ANTS INJURE TlMBERs
in Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat Into Beams.

Winged white ants are often OBJ
served flying about houses In spring.
and are sometimes supposed to have
come In from outside. The bureau of
entomology of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are Matched
inside the buildings, and usually are
to be taken as indicating nests of
wingless white ants working destruc-
tion in the timbers.
These insects, which really are not
properly ants. enter the wood wher-
ever 1t in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center OF
an upright beam without manlfesting
their presence on the outside until the
wood Is entirely ruined, and possibly
a settling and cracking Of the build
ing has resulted.
The department urges that build
ings be constructed with such founda-
tons that TO wood touches the ground,
or II II Is necessary to use wood, that
II be impregnated with tar c~reosote.
Concrete floors should be laid on a
gravel base to prevent dampness and
cracking. and where cracks occur they
should be promptly filed.

plenty of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms Of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded In
brood coops, for crowding will cause
them to become o~verheated, resulting
in improper growth and sometimes In
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
In unclean quarters, and in such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week. and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites. and IL found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letin ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed. green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning. giving as large a quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists Of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hu.led
oats. A supply Of fresh green feed Is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
Ing chicks. They obtain plenty Of 1t
II they have free range. but IL kept In
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops.
cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When soul
milk can be obtained 1t should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
Is regarded better for them. When
this Is given the amount Of beef scrap
In the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty OF fresh. clean water is
absolutely necessary. and In hot
weather II should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor
oughly cleaned.
The bulletin emphasizes the impor-
lance Of free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
II chicks are to grow rapidly and de-
velop into vigorous fowls. When
growing chicks have free range they
Obtain quantities Of green feed, bugs,
worms and other things. therefore
they require less grain and are less
liable to sickness and disease.

UTILIZATION OF FARM LAND
Value Of Place Depends Upon What
Proportion Of Total Area Can
Be Made Productive.

Effective utilization OF farm land
means a high percentage OF income
producing area. say specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The value OF a farm depends
upon what proportion Of Its total area
Is productive. Compare a farm of 100
acres at $500 an acre. 95 acres being
in shape to yield available products.
with another farm of the same acre
age at $50 an acre, but with only IS
productive acres. II all the other fsa-
lures Of the two farms are similar.
the former should be the most profit
able because Its proit-producing land
costs but $3.50 an acre against $3.50 an.
acre on the second farm.

MANURE is BEST FERTILIZER
Contains Plenty of Humus and Az
Other Necessary Plant Food-
Add Acid Phosphate.

The home gardener who can get q
load Of well-rotted stable manure need
not worry about fertilizer, anyone who
has ever done any gardening Is well
aware.
Manure contains humus In plenty
and all the necessary plant materials.
as well as bacteria which put these
materials Into the most disable shape
for crops. To get the full benefit Of
stable manure. however, 1t should be
balanced with acid phosphate. which
Is comparatively inexpensive, garden
ers at the Iowa state college OF agri-
culture say.
An application Of n ton Of stable
manure. which Is about an average
two-horse load. is not too much for a
garden 80 by 90 feet, and so pounds
Of acid phosphate may be used with 1t.
Fresh stable manure should not be-
applied In the spring. II contains too
much readily available nitrogen and
may cause In some plants a growth
Of stems and leaves at the expense Of
fruits. This is especially true Of to-
matoes.

UNIFORM PRODUCTS FAVORED
Find Better Market, Bring Higher
Price, and Are Handled at Less
Expense Than Others.

without uniform standards for farm
produce there is no recognized basis
for the business of buying and selling,
says the bureau OF markets, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Standardization OF products gives
seller and purchaser a common Ian
guage and a set quality upon which
prices may be compared and fixed. Ex-
perience has shown that the products
which are sold by grade find u better
market. bring letter prices. and car be
handled at less expense than thosa sold
without reference to standards. Stand
ards have already been fixed for many
farm commodities. such as American
Upland cotton. shelled corn. wheat,
oats, and for small fruit containers.
These Federal standards apply only
when the product 10 intended for In
terstate or foreign ccYmerce. II is
highly important to secure state Co
operation so that the provisions that
apply to a few products will apply to
all that are offered for sale.
