Pledge U. 8. Aid To State Roads
Atlanta—Figures announced from
Washington show that during the
month of May general aid was
pledged by the department of ag
riculture to assist the building
of more than 140 miles of im
proved roads and bridges in the
state of Georgia, Three of the lit
Georgia projects included in the list
have received the final O. K. of David
F. Houston, secretary of agriculture.
The remaining 16 have been tentative
ly approved by the department, and
are still subject to a possible though
improbable veto at the hands of the
department. The three projects which
have been finally approved are: The
Dixie highway, western branch, ex-1
tending fsom Rome, in Floyd county,
to Atlanta. This road begins at Lin- ■
dale station and ends at Seney, at the
Folk county line, a distance of 7,444
miles. It will be improved at an esti
mated cost of $28,624,39, of which sl4,- j
000 will be federal aid. The Colum- J
bus-Hamilton-Atlanta road, in Harris j
county, from the Muscogee county ;
line to Chipley. This road is 10.95 1
mile’s in length, and will be improved ;
at a cost of $107,725.98, of which $53,- |
500 will be federal aid. The canton
and Marietta road, Cherokee county,
being the Cobb county line and Eto
wah river bridge and Canton, is 13. |
6504 miles In length. It will be im- ■
proved at an estimated cost of $95,- j
556.86, of which amount $47,700 will
be federal aid.
Melon Crop Damaged In Colquitt
Moultrie. —According to R. S. Rod
denberry, one of the largest watermel
on buyers in this section, the excessive

idea, however, that the price will be
higher than it has ever been before,
and that the growers will realize a
substantial profit. Reports reaching
his office declare that Florida’s melon
crop has also been damaged by wet
weather and that the crop is so short
that the bulk of It will have been
murketed by the time Georgia melons
are put on the market.
