tests were selected for the trip to the

test in which they successfully COM
peted with Ii other State teams at
the Southeastern Fair, Atlanta, in

The contest was arranged as a fea-
ture of the English Royal Stock

ty teams in the State contest AS one

pointed to the opportunities open to
rural boys and girls through club
work to learn the things that make
real agricultural achievements pos
sible.

ROAD BUILDING COST
NEAR PRE-WAR LEVEL

Construction work is now being
done by the State Roads Commission
at about the price level obtaining be-
fore the war. According to John N.
Mackall, chairman of the commission,
concrete road. 10 feet wide, is costing
about $4,000 a mile.
In 1920 the commission let some
contracts averaging $4,000 the mile.
Prices went much higher and the
commission called halt, resulning
construction III the spring of 1921.
Contracts for building $50 miles of
State highways have lately been
awarded. 1t is unlikely, however,
that the commission will bull the
market" by placing an excessive num-
ber of contracts all at once.

Florida farmers for several years
have been stocking their places with

Of fiRe pigs, boys and girls pig clubs
organized and operated under the su-
pervision of county agricultural

the death knell OF the razor-back
