manner in a statement from L. •V
Downs, President of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company Mr
Downs says that during the past five
years the Central of Georgia has m
vested nearly thirteen million dollars
in road and equipment and that the
expenditures for this purpose amount
ed to four and a quarter million dol
lars in 1924.
Among the important improve
merits to the transportation plant of
the Central during the past year he
lists the re-laying of 147 miles of
track with heavier rail, ballasting of
‘*2 miles of track and the renewal of
ballast on 88 miles of track
The industrial prosperity of Cen¬
tral of Georgia territory is indicated
by the construction of 84 new indus
trial tracks and in addition to ties
the railroad installed 21 passing
tracks and built S miles of new line
During the past year the Central
renewed more than half million cross
ties, replaced many pile and timber
trestles with permanent concrete
work, installed 14 miles of
line, put in signal bells at 9 highway
grade crossings, strengthened 8
bridges, constructed three new steel
and concrete bridges and started

The Root Traction Duster
(PATENTED)

** T HE Root Trac¬
tion Duster is
the newest de¬
fTlli velopment in a two
row cotton duster
drawn by a single
horse or mule.
Two row dusters
have been heavy,
cumbersome in a n
and nude killers in
the past hut no longer. With the idea of giving the cotton
farmers a simple, very light and well balanced two row
duster "The Root” was developed.
Because of its splendid design, balance and construction—it
weighs only 85 lbs.—“The Root” can be used to good
advantage where the footing is very soft and in this respect
it is much superior to heavy machines weighing up to 500
lbs. Much time is sated at end of rows, and around stumps.
Very handy in hilly and terraced land.
Ease of operation and handling makes the work of dusting
cotton very easy for both operator and horse or mule.
Standard bicycle chain and sprockets used to transmit power
■ from traction wheel to the duster.
Can be Adjusted to Growth of Cotton and Width of Rous.
«
Developed to properly apply Calcium Arsenate on Cotton to
control the Boll Weevil and to dust any other dry powdered
insecticide or fungicide on cotton, tobacco and all vegetable
plants.
ROOT DUSTERS have the fu}l endorsement
of the U. S. Delta Laboratories, Tallulah, La.
