COST OF PAVING COMPILED
ON TYPES OF MATERIAL

Average costs per square yard of
various types of paving for country
roads have been compiled by the Blu
feau of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture. The
figures cover 68,000,000 square yards
OF paving constructed with Federal
aid in all parts of the United States
during the period 1921-1922. The
costs per square yard are as follows +:
Sand clay, Is cents gravel, as cents
plain and Surfaced-treated macadam,
95 cents; bituminous macadam, So
10; bituminous concrete, $3.50; plain
concrete, S2.74; and brick, $4.1O.
The figures cover only the cost of
paving; they do not include the cost
OF grading, and officials point out
that it must not be assumed that
roads of the several types can be
constructed in any locality at these
hgures. For example. the cost of
oltuminOus concrete varied from ST.
10 In the New England $3.13 in the
group of States including Kentucky,
Tennessee and Alabama. In one
group of states the cost Of brick
dropped to S2.40. Costs of construct
ing these types in the various groups
OF States have been compiled and
can be obtained from the bureau.

GEORGIA INCLUDED
IN SWINE CENSUS
TO Be TAKEN soon

Washington D ca special report
that will indicate the probable pig
population of the leading swine States
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture cooperating
with the United States Post Office
Department early in May, it was an
nounced to-day. Over $4,000 rural
mail carriers connected with $500
post officers in fourteen representa-
tive states will collect the necessary
data about May L.
The plan is to secure on simple
card questionaires from not less than
twelve farms on each rural mail car
riers in the regular course of deliver
ing mail and returned to the Post
master for forwarding to the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
for tabulation. A card can be filled
out in less than two minutes.
The States to be covered are Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Geor-
gia, Alabama and Mississippi. Spec
ial effort will be made to have the
returns truly representative of the
territory from which they are taken.
From these sample" returns, ratios,
percentages, and State totals can be
worked out and applied to the total
number of all farms in these states.
The information on each card will
be confidential, and only percentages
and totals will be published The
in each farm and the total acreage
of crop land including hay land. The
numbers of sows which have farrow-
ed are due to farrow between Janu-
airy l and June 30, 1922, will be
shown, as well as the number Of sows
on farm last year which narrowed be-
tween the same dates in 1921. Sim
liar information will be given with
regard to sows narrowing between
July l and December 81. The aver
age litter for 1922 to date of the re-
turn, and the average litter for the
first and last six months of 1921 will
be shown.
The QUESTIONABLE is so simply ar
ranged that the giving of all this in
formation requires the notation of
only nine figures and the name and
address of the farmer. The survey
and estimate will be made at remark
ably small cost.
An accurate estimate of the prob
able pig population for the year will
be of great value to hog raisers. This
information considered in connec-
ton with the estimated consumptive
demand will enable growers to plan
their operations and marketing so
that the supply at all times will be
in proper relation to the demand,
which in turn will tend to stabilize
prices throughout the year and pre-
vent wide price ranges. Both the pro-
Queer and consumer will be benefit
ed by such a condition.

|. NJ. FOSTER WRITES
FROM DUE WEST ON.
VALUE OF PEANUTS.

Mr.. l.. M. Foster, president of the
Due West Cooperative Marketing as
ISOLATION send the Journal the follow
ing letter which should be read with
interest by farmers all over Cobb
County:
The time has come to plant di-
versified crop, which we have so long
planned. We offer as substitute for
old Miss Cotton a few suggestions:
First, do not cut your own throat
by leaving off cotton entirely, but
prepare to fight the weevil by reduc-
ing your acreage to such a point that
you can control the situation and
fight the weevil to finish.
Peanuts are our salvation along
with other good food crops. From
the best sources possible we have in
vestigated and find that peanuts are
much cheaper to raise than cotton,
and will yield on an average just
about like cotton seed. Where you
grow 600 pounds of cotton 500 lbs.
OF peanuts will grow, or 1900 lbs.
of cotton then say 1900 lbs. of pea
nuts. Your fertilizer is greatly re-
duced, and not only that, you will
have 1900 pounds of the best hay
that Georgia can produce. At low
estimate this hay will bring$60.00 per
ton, and aside from this you have
s12 to SIS worth of hay to fatten
the cows. This is power.
you can raise three acres of pea
nuts with practically the same labor
as two acres of cotton, and then fig
Ure the fight against the weevil and
chances of being eaten up, if you
plant cotton.
| have in my possession quite a
lot of valuable information that |
have gathered from South Georgia.
while laboring there in the past.
know of men who made good in rails
ing these crops, and | have gathered
later information that is entirely re
liable, and will be glad to talk with
any farmer friends along this line.
AS to threshing of peanuts, do not
let this worry you. We have enough
already subscribed for this part Of
the work, and a market for the crop
is certain. There will be a market
IN Marietta and Acworth for all that
is grown. Oil mill men will be run
ming after the peanut crop as they
do cotton seed This is no puppy
rot", it is coming and if you are not
prepared, then it will be your fault.
We are locating seed for this crop,
and if you need seed call one me or
locate the best and buy enough at
once to plant five acres or half as
much as you usually plant in cotton.
Now the grain elevator is a fine
thing for Marietta, but if the bust
ness men of that city do not want to
lose one of the biggest and best mon
ey crops of Marietta, they had better
wake up to this market. Acworth is
after it, and it is coming strong. |
fine that those who have made good
IN South Georgia are those who grew
this crop.
If | can be of any service to thosf
who are interested, / am ready ant
willing to do all | can. There is n,
man so far from the market as h,
who has no product to offer for sale.
Estimate your land in accordance
with the average cotton yield per
acre, and figure it out. Then don't
fail to count that hay crop. The
only thing that will bring in ready
money any day is peanuts: then, let's
raise them.
yours respectfully,
81. M. FOSTER"
