This highway will he over thirty
six hundred miles long when com

way planned that can he traveled
three hundred and sixty-five days
in the year.
It is named in honor of United
States Senator Bankhead, who is

Aid for Road Improvement in the
United States, a name worthily

It is believed that this Would he
one ;;-f the first great national
higlf/vays taken over by the
United States Government, built
and maintained by Federal appro
priation. Every state through
which it traverses has taken it
over and petitioned to Congress
to take it over and maintain it as
a great national highway.
The above is taken from the
Good Roads Bulletin for Septem
ber and will he of much interest
to all good road advocates, and
especially to the readers of The
Times, as the Bankhead National
runs through I ’.arrow
'County and will he one of the
greatest factors in its future
growth and development.
WINDER S NEW PART TIME
SCHOOL.
Winder to Be Congratulated as
This is the Third School of Its
Kind in the State.
Very few people yet know, that
there lias recently been established
in Winder a Vocational School un
der the Smith-1 lushes Act, which
art provides for federal aid to in
dustrial schools.
The Board of Education, with
the cooperation of the Barrow
County Cotton .Mills, has complied
with the conditions and requir
ments necessary for this special
type of school and it has been in
session for several weeks with
marked success from the very be
ginning. . *
The pupils are the boys and
girls between the ages of 14 and
Hi. who work eight hours per day.
and those up to IS years may take
advantage of it. under this new
plan, they work five and halt
hours, or half the day. and go to
school half the day.
Winder is to he congratulated
in the fact that this is the third
school of its kind in the state,
and as the other two are in large
manufacturing centers. New Hol
land and Porterdale, we should
feel proud of being one of the
learders in this new and great
work.
Prof. J. F. Cannon, of the Geor
gia Tech., who is state supervisor
of vocational schools, is very fav
orably mi,.tossed with Winder’s
possibilities for growth and deve
lopment.
lie has made several visits here
recently in getting this school
various manufacturing plants of
the city and thinks Winder has a
great future. He was surprised
to find out the number of large
manufacturing enterprises and
was especially impressed with
the Smith-Mayne plant and the
fine product this new plant is
turning out.
Miss Alice King is the efficient,
principal of this mill vocational
work and has been granted lic
ense by the State Vocational
Board for this special school. She
has shown superior attainments
and qualifications and under her
supervision this will he one of the
great schools of its kind in Geor
gia.
WEIGHING EGGS.
It was very funny, in an old
Italian play, when a miser swore
that he would buy no more eggs
unless they were too large to go
through a certain ring that he es
tablished as a standard. But that
miser had the right bunch. There
are hotel stewarts in this country
now that use a similar test, reject
ing all eggs that will not pass
through a ring an inch and a half
in diameter.
This test, however, is not per
fect. since it concerns form rather
than substance —a long egg may
pass through the ring while a
short egg that is really of the same
volume Avill not. The only depend
able standard, according to ex
perts is weight; and there is a
grow ing demand that eggs shall
he sold by weight as most other
kinds of foods are, instead of by
the dozen.
The absurdity of the present
system is obvious. There is an in
formal sort of agreement that an
egg ought to weigh two ounces.

thus running a pound and a half
to the dozen: as this rule has no
binding force, and is seldom ob
served in practice. One egg may
weigh and ounce and a half and
another two ounces and a half,
and yet both are sold at so much
a dozen, as if the number were the
main thing. ,
Asa writer suggests in a current
magazine, a butcher might as avcll
sell chops at so much apiece re
gardless of size.
The size of an egg varies ac
cording to the breed of the ben,
according to the individual lien’s
age. according to the feeding, the
time of year and the freshness or
staleness of the egg. In “selected
eggs” there may be a rough at
tempt at giving definite value for
a definite price, but it does look
as if the only really fair method
is to sell them by the pound.

STOP SOIL-WASHING AND
GROW LEGUMES.
Probably 90 per cent of all cul
tivated lands in the South are
subject to more or less erosion,
and to attempt to build up such
lands without first stopping the
washing is little different from
pouring water through a sieve. On
cultivated lands, the broad terrace
properly laid out and const meed,
must always come first as a means
of stopping washing: but it should
be supplemented with cover crops,
both winter and summer, an abun
dance of vegttable matter plowed
into the soil, and deep plowing.
After we have reduced washing
to a minimum, we are ready to do
some soil-lmilding, and for this
purpose summer and winter legu
mes must come first. Nearly all
good farmers now grow peas, soy
beans, velvet beaus or peanuts
with their corn and peas, beans or
lespedeza after their small grain,
but this is not enough. To these
summer-growing legumes we must
add those that grow in winter and
early spring, particularly crimson
and bur clovers and vetch. The lib
tral use of these in conjunction
with the summer legumes will
mean more nitrogen and humus
and bigger yields.—The Progres
