GOOD ROADS BOOST PROFITS
Where Farmer Can Haul but Ono Bale
OF Cotton on Poor Road, Man on
Good Roads Hauls Four.

The matter Of opportunity in mar
ketlng Is worthy of consideration. For
the sake Of example, suppose that two
farmers living In separate counties,
but at equal distances from the cotton
market, learn by telephone that cotton
has advanced In price 81 bale. The
man living on bad road can imme-
diately haul one bale Of cotton 70
market, while the other can haul four
bales because he lives on a good road.
The rise in price means a profit of 81
to the one man and only 81 to his
neighbor.

PROPER MARKETING OF EGGS
Much Of Animal Loss Can Be Prevented
BY Use Of Purebred Stock and
Better Care.

II Is estimated that the annual pro.
duction of poultry and eggs in the
United States Is in excess Of 5000 000..
00o-the value Of the hay or the wheat
crop--and 1t Is also estimated that
there is a total loss Of nearly 8 per
cent of the eggs marketed.
This great loss Is due largely to i'm
proper handling between the farm and
the market. Many farmers look upon
eggs as a by-product, and the returns
as so much clear gain. The hens for
age for a living, and the eggs are
gathered when convenient and kept al

The moving cause behind the sls-

is the present financial depression
