Community Prosperity

The Augusta Chronicle publishes
. letter received by the editor from
H. G. Boylston, county agent OF
Barnwell S. c., in which he tells OF
the conditions in his county. The
ooont's letter bears out the claim
Of Ba,nwell farmers that they are
among the most businesslike, the
most progressive farming commune
ties in the South.
Mr.. Boylston's letter when loi-
lows will give our readers some idea
Of what this prosperous community
is doing in Investigation;
Editor Chronicles A great deal
has been written concerning the
nrooress that has been made in
different parts Of the state, IN
diversified farming and getting
awav from the one crop system
Having worked in this county Toe
about eight years thereby beng
in a position to watch the pro
eress that has been made, l feel
that can say that there is no
county in the state that has made
more progress. Very little has
been said, but d great deal has
been done.
Instead of just having one cash
crop the farmers Of this county
have very neag dozen. This
change has not taken place over
night, but has been going on for
number of years. The type OF
farming as a rule has been very
high. The best seeds are used,
there are thorough preparation
and cultivation, and rotation of
crops generally practiced. The
control of diseases and insect pess
is being gone into more and more
great deal of progress having
already been made in controlling
blight and anthracnose in water
melons, cucumbers and canta-
loupes, and black root in cotton
along with diseases of other crops.
Velvet beans heave played great
part in the land building program
of the county. There is as large
if not the largest acreage of vel
vet beans in this county of any
in the state.
In order that one might appre-
ciate just to what extent this coun
ty has developed | give below the
approximate amounts Of differ
ent crops that were sold from the
co,,,4,, d,,ri,,n. tho ,year 1909.

WHY INDEED?

The Republican political writ
ers are doing what they can To-

plague the Democrats in 1924. But
why will it plague the Democrats
more than the Republicans?-Au-

NO NEED FoR INCOME rAx

There would be no need of an
income tax if the present tax law
was enforced in all the counties.
IN many counties there is lots of
property on the tax books.

collected, We agree with Comp
troller Wright that the present
laws is all right if was rigidly
enforced.-Adel News.

Censhs figures snow that in "a
states the municipal, county and
state debts in 1922 were two and a
third times as big as they were in
1912. They've increased since then.

The town of WilIston the
headquarters of the South Car
DINA Asparagus Association, is
noted as an asparagus center. The
asparagus acreage is increasing
from year to year and the grow
ers have one of the best co-opera-
tive marketing associations in the
South. Williston is also noted as
ascow pea market. APPROX
mately eighty carloads of the
1922 crop were shipped from this
point Blackville is the center OF
the cucumbers and cantaloupes
were shipped from this point.
Barnwell, the county seat, has
a good acreage of asparagus.
Practically all the strawberries
are grown around BarnwelI Wa
termelons. cucumbers, peanuts
and crops are grown here, too.
AS a whole, l feel that the
county has made wonderful pro-
gress on diversification, enough
probably and only now needs TO
balance her system some better.
According to Mr. Boylston's fig
ures, more than 1900 car loads C.,
farm products-other than cotton
was shipped out Of this one coua-

Success has come to this com
munity because it has concentrated
on a few things that it could pro-
duce in quantity and for which
ii has secured a market

Anderson Urges State,
Federal Bridge Money
By Al. c. Anderson

The tremendous increase in inter-
state highway traffic is demanding an
entirely different policy for the build
ing and maintenance Of interstate
bridges.
The old system Of the cities and
counties taxing themselves and pay
ing for them is unequitable and I'M
fair to the cities and counties located
where an interstate bridge is needed.
Why the Old System?
Some years ago Wisconsin passcd
legislation empoW eling the Wisconsin
Highway commission to negotiate
and enter into cont -act with border
state for the building of bridges
across border streams.
Minnesota has an empowering act
Of this kind. Minnesota can not and
does not meet Wisconsin on the same
basis as Michigan meets Wisconsin.
The statement has been made that,
owing to the fact that the Osceola
bridge is not on a Minnesota state
trunk line, the county would have to
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1924-04-03

pay. The same condition prevails on
Minnesota trunk highways as well.
ST. Croix Falls Bridge
1t has also been stated that the St.
Croix Falls bridge was paid for by
the two states. This is true, but this
was built by the interstate park COM
mission, not the highway depart
ments.
The Saltwater bridge was paid for
by the city in 1911, cost 23,500, and
is maintained by the city.
Two Toll Bridges
At Hudson and Prescott the
travelling public forced private cap
ital to take action where this tre-
mendously and steadily increasing
travelling public has been unable to
force the state of Minnesota to do so.
The Red Wing Free bridge was
built by the city in 1895 at cost OF
100000. 1t is maintained entirely by
the city of Red Wing.
Winona Bridge
The steel structure built in 1892,
cost S94, 700; concrete structure added
in 1916, cost $4,000; paid for and
maintained by Winona. In Decem-
Der. 1922, it was taken over by
Winona county as state aid road.
The road across the bottoms in Wis
consin has been made state trunk
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1924-04-03

highway, subject to the bridge being
a free bridge.
Down at La Crosse
The La Crosse bridge was finished
in 1891; paid for by city bond issue
of $4,000 1t is maintained by La
Crosse.
The Minnesota highway officials
and the Wisconsin Highway commits
sion desire free and adequate inter
state bridge service. But seemingly,
as yet, the Minnesota legislation does
not.
Federal money should be used be-
cause other states derive benefits
from them and because the federal
government pays back to the states
less than so per cent for road and
bridge building, of what they receive
from road users.
Wisconsin stands ready to act for
bridges at or near Grantsburg, Os-
ceola and Saltwater whenever Mime
sofa can and will cooperate.
The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion has no appropriation for public
ity. Any highway matter, if printed
at all, must be as news.
The Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion is non-political; its members re-
ceive no salary or per diem.

The Eau Claire County Road and
Bridge commission has ordered the
prohibition of heavy loads on all
rural roads in that county until
April II. This order is in accord
with state law, the purpose of which
is to protect soft roads from dis
truction. The order includes all
vehicles which, including load, weigh
over 5000 pounds. A fine of 500 is
the penalty for violation of this
order, and patrolmen are authorized
to arrest offenders.

A mass meeting in the interest of
world peace will be held in Wesley NJ.

July 10, at s o'clock. Hon. Clinton N.
Howard, of Rochester, N. Y, THE Lit
tie Giant of the American platform,

these subjects before thousands of
