The department, therefore, in plan
ming roads upon which federal aid is
desired must make its specifications
comply with the requirements OF the
federal bureau.
AS the primary object of the state
road department is system of state
roads, roads built iwithya view to serv-
ing an entire state, so the primary
consideration with the federal bureau
OF public roads is a national system
of roads which shall serve not alone a
state, but the entire nation, giving to
the country a complete and connected
system of roads which will enable
travellers to proceed from any section
of the country to the other upon con-
nected highways. Accordingly, the
bureau regards as of primary import
ance those roads which from their To-
cation and the volume of traffic are in
terstate roads, and more readily ex-
tends federal aid on such roads than
on roads which are merely connecting
links within the state. 1t is the pref
erence also of the bureau that all
federal aid should be met with state
as distinguished from county funds,
and 1t does not encourage the partici-
patton of counties in construction of
roads on which federal aid is extended,
holding the state agency, the road de-
partment, responsible for the carrying
out of the project agreements entered
into between the bureau and the de-
partment. The result is as has been
POINTED out, that before undertaking
work on which federal aid is to be ex-
tended, the department must keep the
work moving after it's commencement
In fact, it is estimated that where the
work is to be done by the state and
the federal government without
county add, if the project contem-
plates an expenditure of 100000 the
road department must have in hand
not less than $4,000, in order to fl
nance the work until the procedure
necessary to get the estimates and
vouchers approved and paid by the
bureau is completed, a process, as for
merly stated, taking usually about
three months.

DEMOCRATIC DOLLARS

We made little spiel Saturday, in
which we said we had nine democratic
dollars, to send to the national COM
mittee, and we made pitiful plea for
a tenth, because there is no luck in
odd numbers, unless they are bigger
than those that are even. Nobody
around this burg Clipped in, but last
night we went to Dunnellon with the
X. of P. delegation, and while there
Sam Petteway-old Sam, who never
goes back on a friend, and who re-
members what too many are forget
ting, that the democratic party is the
white mans friend-handed over that
tenth dollar. So we can send the COM
mittee ten dollars today, which in ad
dition to the $27 we sent three weeks
ago will make $37. That is mighty
little money for a big county like
Marion, and So of it from New York,
and we will be way down on the list
when the big fight starts in 1924. We
will keep the subscription open until
the election, because the committee
will have some debts to pay off after
the campaign ends, and not much to
pay with, unless other democratic
units are doing better than Marion
county.
Following is the list:

Oxford, Oct. 23.-"I is sho glad that
Yves got some one to tell us when the
bugs and worms is chawin' on uses
greens patch, and how to dispatch
'em."
And that other thing called an
thrancnose. Gee, what kind Of a var
ment is that ?rAnd that nematodes! |
It sounds little like "need more
Eaters"
And the writer winds up by telling |
US how to kill weevils. Uh. Now |
understands am not much of a far
mer, but do raise "cain" sometimes, |
and have had some experience with
weevils. I have heard carbon bisul-
phide recommended long time, but
it never did impress me much, except
to kill the deevil after he emerged
from the grain of corn.
I. once talked to man from the
Gainesville agricultural school, who
seemed to know something about
weevils, and he nor anyone else has
ever been able to tell me just when
and where the egg or germ was de-
posted in the corn.
I once selected some of the best
ears of corn I had-shucked it and
sealed it up in fruit jar, and in due
time the weevils ate it up. At an
other time I selected small guam
tity of the best shelled corn I could
find and also few dozen of the biggest
robust weevils could run down, and
put corn and weevils in a big mouth
bottle with cloth over it to give air,
and waited to see the weevils eat up
the corn, and you may not believe it,
but them scoundrels starved to death
in the midst of plenty. Perhaps I
should have watered them 90 I did
not modest the bottle, and in a few
weeks there was a new army of
1 weevils cut out of that corn and de-
Ivoured it, and like Alexander the
Great, sat down and wepted because
there was no more corn to conquer.
I I onced supposed that little fly
llayed the egg in the grain just about
roasten(y)ea time; so I experiment.
ed by tying some good paper bags
over the ears just before the silk be-
gan to dry to keep the supposed fly
away from the corn. was particular
when gathering, to keep this corn
away from the other corn; but the
weevils Toasted on it just the same.
| By observation, I have found that
weevils cut out of corn, instead of
cutting in, the same as worm cutting
out of hickry- nuts. You can see them
while yet young, even before they cut
through at all, and just how the egg
is layed in the grain through a great
shuck still remains a MYSTERY to me.
I am admitting that carbon by
sulphide will kill them as soon as out
of the grain; but how is it going to
reach them in a hermeticaly sealed
grain of corn? If the stuff kills the
weevil in the grain, why will not one
application do the work of two. ex-
cept to stop his future work?
The best way have ever found
| was to heat the corn sufficiently to
! kill the germ. do not know what
degree of heat to suggest.
Now in conclusion: we have the
land-the stock and the time and good
farmers incidently make the corn, and
great many of them have $4,000

Chicago, Aug. 5--WHEAT-The market

there are signs of a clearing up of the
foreign situation the export demand yet

Gulf ports and it is expected that local
stocks will show a good reduction for the
week. In fact, contracts to still down to
the vanishing point Yields Of spring
wheat in the northwest as reported so far
seem to be about an average for that sec

at the moment is to be decidedly bearish
but strong interests are in the market.
Feel that pprices will fluctuate rather errat-
ically within a moderate range and favor
the buying side on the declines.

that rain is badly needed in parts of the
