MONDAY. JANUARY f>. 1918. WHEN (.()()!) ROADS COME It 'IV . i i > man s experience in <>\x ; m automobile with the roads o\. r tie e>?untv practically impassable during the best business months <>f the year, was not very gratifying. W'c fouii'i that t" own and operate even << (tumble a car as a Ford re jii cd some !? "?() to $ ?() a month. The - - of operation, repairs and now and 1 -on;, investment in a new light i r some other accessory proved heavthan we felt justified in expending. Wo ntend. so soon as the movement i under way to build those great t ways, concrete trunk lines, we tend to go in to own another car; pet. ling the decision upon that ijuesi on, we have sold out, and expect to remain earless until there is some prospect of better loads. It is a wicked waste i>f money to drive a car over the wicked highways in Union County. The life of a car is too short, the upkeep too steep and the convenience too limited under present conditions to make it a sensible thing to own and operate a car. JOIN TUK ( H N.MBElt OF (O.M>1 FUCK We believe that every business man, professional man an?l farmer in the eounty should join our Chamber "of Commerce. A man. when asked to j? in usually decides the question upon tlie basis of what he can pret out of it. This, however, is not the proper way to settle the question. You should, the rather, decide the question upon ? 'the basis ot what you can put into it. Frequently a man declares that so far as he is concerned., he cannot see that, it benefits him. therefore he declines i>> join or will not continue to be a member of the organization. Many ret nothing out of the organization because thev not liiithino- or nothinjr in it. A man pays $5, $10, $l2.~>, *">o or $100 into the treasury and then sits hack and knocks the organization. He gives no attention to the detail- <>f tiie work the organization is u: dertaking to do. The less he pays, and the mere lie neglects to lend his influence and help to the work being done, the more he knocks and the less he sees that is good in the organ'at ion. I he plans on t'( ot for another year t "re<)l) UOADS IN DM!) (News and Courier) From one end of the country to the other the news of the day is that plans are being laid for road building on a scale immeasurably larger than has ever been attempted in this country heretofore. The scheme most in favor everywhere is that which The News and Courier has been urging in South Carolina for the past three months, namely, the Illinois plan of issuing bonds which will be carried and retir- i bv means of :?n automobile license tax. It. is really amazing bow rapidly the sentiment in favor of definite action to secure good roads has spread in the I'nited States since ti e signing of the armistice and the a-surance of jteacc. Good roads .as the * vst essential to the broadest and n -t general prosperity is the cry on all sides; and it is evident that it is a n moment which is going to produce 'are and sunostantiul results. This is the opinion of the \tlanta Constitution, long a leader in good roads work in the South, which declares that Georgia's present procrastination "is next to criminal." Yet Georgia has roads now bes de which most of the roads in South Carolina are a disgrace. The activities of some of the other states in the interest of better highways is summed up very drikinkly by The Constitution, as follow;; Ohio has completed plans for making 1919 "the biggest goods roads year" in the state's history, and is only awaiting favorable weather conditions to begin intensive constructive work. Illinois by a popular vote of 700.000 out of 1,000,000 votes cast, recently made provisions for a $00,000,000 bond issue for highway improvement. Pennsylvania has adopted a similar plan whereby to supplement its regular highway fund?-that is, a bond issue based upon the license fee returns from motor vehicles. Oregon is adding to its normal highway funds?arming from state , taxation and federal aid apportion j ment?by a bond issue of $*0,000,000 ; as a beginner. Minnesota plans for 1919 calls forj uie expenditure oi annul ;m>,uuu,uim? on | its highway system. South Dakota, Michigan and Iowa each as an enormous highway bond issue under serious consideration, with no opposition manifested. Idaho, despite unfavorable climatic conditions, has not waited until spring to launch the greatest highway con- 1 struetion project that state has over , undertaken. Louisiana, according to a recent report, is ready to expend $4,500,000 on good roads construction during 1910. Colorado has work under way on its highway system that calls for the ex penditure of at least $4,000,000 fluting the forthcoming yeai. The Washington State Good Itoads association the other day unanimous ly got behind a bonding proposal calling for an issue of $30,000,000 ol bonds for highway development purposes, which will be acted upon at the January session of the legislature with every indication that such action will 1) favorabl. SILO LOU POULTRY SAVES SUCCULENT FEEL] Home-made Contrivance Furnishes ar Abundance of Green Feed Which Will Abet Egg Production. A chicken silo- to provide succulen feed for the fleck in winter. Evei try one? Supplying green feed for layin;. fowls in winter has always been mori or less of a problem with poultry raise: s. That green feed at all time: is most desirable in making up a bal aneed ration goes without saying, bu ho.v to supply it in sufiieient quanti ties and in succulent form when tlv ground is frozen or covered with snov is not a very easy matter, from ai economic viewpoint. The practice of gathering green during th open season and dryinj them for winter use?the method o preparation at feeding time being t< strain or boil the greens?is wel known. It lias been suceesful. and i ha - met the purpose intended to sucl a degree that it is recommended as i g I poultry procedure. To t hose, however, who seek a grec r. t: u approximating a natural state a ,.orltry silo is suggested for trial Home-made silos for this purposi have been use by demonstrators am other practical poultry raisers, in tin Sooth and have given perfect satisfac tiov. They can very easily he con -itna-ted?in the same manner and out of he same material that at" used f." nink'u.T heme-made silos for cattleami large expense can he overcome and the same purpose accomplished by utilizing an ordinary whiskey, mo; lasses or vinegar barrel, or a hogshead. The smaller containers are recommended as more convenient where fowls are kept in pens?one bnrre for each pen. For convenience the barrel or hogshead is placed upon a stand made ol heavy hoards and at a height of aboul 19 .? ti. . i , ..V . 11UIII i;if muuilll. I I If UUilfll! composing the floor of the stand or which the container rests should b< several inches apart so that the ail can circulate freely. Also a hol< should he bored in the bottom of th< barrel to drain off excess liquid. Th< ton or head of the barrel should bt of such sir.e as to fit in the barre and be easily removed, and a weigh should be placed upon it to pack dowt the contents. Six inches above th< base of the barrel an opening may b' made, round or square in shape am hinged on straps, for access to tin 1 silage. As the barrel does not stani | too high from the ground to bo casil; I roach -(I this door is not considered : nece- ily. The lid or flap of thi: opo-'.!n:? should fit snugly and be se cured in place by a wooden or irot button. The green feed to be stored maj consist of beet tops, lettuce and cab bage leaves, celery tops, kale, spinch clover, and succulent grass from tin lawn or roadside?any kind of green; that is usually fed to chickens. Fo omcnience in feeding it is advisabh to chop this material fine. The sil< may be filled at one time, or partb filled and the contents added to a: opportunity arises. The different greens should b< pla.od in layers, and between thcs< layers may be placed litter from tin barn floor -usually containing grain This will have a tendency to absorl superfluous juices.
