Hopkins of the Illinois University, and director of the [experimental stations of that State at the University. Dr. Hopkins is esteemed one of the leading if not the leading author d ity in the United States on the I fertility. of the soil, and the re Iquirements for Dermanent and profitable agriculture. The last statement made by Mr. W. F.Stevenson as to what Congress should do for a farming district like this was that it had spent $475,000,000.00 on rivers and nothing on roads. It has also spent $100,000.00 on irriga tion projects, to water lands for less than 1,000,000 in the West. Why not do something to take the water out of the roads in the South? In South Carolina, the States and Counties and Towns and Townships spent in 1914 about $1,000,000.00 on roads, and still i of the 45,549 miles of roads in the State only 4,888 miles are surfaced and really improved and that is the work of - years. 40,661 miles are yet to be fixed, and all must be maintained. The Government carries mail over most of them: why is it not right for it to help fix them?
