Notth and South Carolina, (Geor gia. Alabama, Mississippi, Tennes see, Arkansas, Texas. New Mexico, Arizona and California, on to the Pacific. This highway has been definitely designated as far as HI fo, Texas and very soon tne blinding < 'ommission will make their report on the route from HI Paso to the Pacific. This highway will he over thirty six hundred miles long when com pleted. Already over half of the mileage is completed with a per manent road. It is the only high 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 known as the Father of Federal Aid for Road Improvement in the United States, a name worthily bestow. 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.

WINDER ROLLER MULLS Phone No. 1 7 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.

There are 1.10 colleges In China de moted to the study of scientific agri lulture. 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 sive Farmer. Uiehelin Tires and Tubes, they satisfy.
