The Winnsboro Bank is hand
!ing out to its farmer friends a
little book entitled "The Farm
That Won't Wear Out," by Dr.
Agril G. 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?
