COMMISSIONERS REJECT
GRAVEL HAULING BIDS

VALDOSTA, May 17.-An bids
for unloading and moving the gravel
for the county road projects were
rejected by the county commission
ers. There were several bids, bui
after looking into all of them the
commissioners decided that even the
lowest was too high, so none of the
offers were accepted. 1t was be-
lieved that the county could contract
for the delivery of the gravel from
the cars to the work on the road
at less amount that it is costing
the county to move it.

POLAND TO EXPORT EGGS

Poland will have available fer ex-
port from 700 to 1000 carloads OF
eggs annually, according to recent
calculations based on the potential
egg production of the nation, says
the Poland Magazine. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual production
is approximately S,oOo,OOo,ooo eggs,
or $4,000 carloads.
At a recent conference in Cracow
the continued control Of the egg ex-
port trade was favored, since other
wise the low rate Of Polish exchange
would tend toward the exporting Of
too great proportion Of the ma
TONS egg supply. At the present
rate of exchange it is about cent
an egg.
