Jones reviewed number of contractr. done during 1927. “On January 1, 1927,” said Mr Jones, “the state highway system comprised 5,143 miles cf roads of which *3.726 miles had been of im proved of earth type and 369 miles had been improved of hard surface type or paved roads. Only about miles of the hard surface or paved rojwis had been constructed by the highway department. Counties like Sumter, Richland, York and others before approval of the pay-as-you-go act had built considerable mileage under the supervision of engineers employed by the respective county boards. “The expenditures for construc tion work in 1926—apprex mately $8,500,000—were regarded as un usually large. Notwithstanding this fact, in one of my first public an nouncements as chairman of this commission, I said: ‘It is conserva tively estimated that the construc tion expenditures for the biennium 1927-1928 will aggregate the enor mous sum of $28,000,000.’ I got the impressiop that my announcement was not altogether believed, because the f gures were rather staggering. It is particularly pleasing to ^state, therefore, that during 1927 the highway department awarded: ‘56 contracts for a total of 298.8 miles of earth type road in 18 coun ties, at an estimated cost of $2,148,- 858.52. “50 contracts for bridges, in 30 counties, at an estimated cost of $1,142,148.79. “56 contracts for a total of 527.3 m les of standard, all-year-round, dependable type paving, in 25 coun ties, at an estimated cost of $14,335,- 050 21. “To capitulate, during 1927 the highway department awarded 162 contracts for bridges and 826.1 miles of roads—64 per cent of which read mileage was of standard hard sur face—at an estimated cost of $17,- 626.157.52. ‘The highway department has on hard advanced funds and pledges un der county re'mbursement agree ments, aggregating $10,815,000 for construction work td be let in 1928 This does not include the consider able amount of constructidn to be undertaken out of current construe tion revenues. Only the sum o $278,800 of the 1928 construction revenues has been allotted so far to various projects. This means that a total of $11,093,800 is available for construction contracts yet to be awarded as follows: ‘353.3 miles of standard, all-year round, dependable type paving, in 25 counties, for which there is available $9,359,300. , ‘143.2 miles of earth type roads in 10 counties, for which there available $1,226,000. “Thus is will be seen that my statement announcing the construe tion expenditures for 1927-1928 would aggregate $28,000,000 was not w'ld speculation, as some no doubt thought; on the contrary, the figures were ultra-conservative. Before the end of 1928 additional construction funds will be advanced by counties further construction allotments w:l be made from current revenues, anc it is entirely possible that construc- tid n contracts for 1928 will approach in amount those awarded in 1927. “South Carolina is a small state j containing only approximately 30,- 000 square miles. Such highway construction progress as we have mentioned is truly remarkable and is unequalled by any other state in the southeast, and, if respective areas and revenues are cons'dered, is far beyond that being undertaken by any other state in American Un ion. The state road act designates 3,200 miles of rdad for hard surface or other dependable typd. Upon the completion of the projects now under contract and those for which funds are in hand or pledged, 1,249 miles, about 40 per cent of the designated hard surface system will have been completed with standard types, not including a considerable mileage of what is called surface treatment. Practically all of the major bridges have been constructed or provided for, and it is entirely reasonable to expect that the few sections of earth type roads yet unconstructed will be g ven priority and will be completed within the next few years.” txt S.C.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 21.—> “A better day is coming to farmers who/ feed hogs,” predicts Prof. U. Y* Starkey, chief animal husbandman here, “for pork prices are sure to rise during the year, and farmers am going to plant more forage crops for hogs.” Although hog prices have been low the past year because there have been more than enough hogs to meet the consumer’s demand, now there are fewer hegs in prospect. In spite of these low prices, Prof. Starkey re ports that more than 50 carloads of hogs, fed according to recommenda tions of the Animal Husbandry divis ion here, have paid South Carolina farmers well above a dollar a bushel for the corn they ate. Prcf. Starkey and extension live stock special‘sts have found mom farmers than usual about the State planning to plant forage crops to raise hogs on, soybeans or alfalfa for summer grazing and barley or rye for winter grazing. Some of them will plant oats for winter pasture, but the average man is afraid oZat$ will winter-kill, espec : ally since thii has been a severe winter for oats'. Tof quote the professor: “It is, of course, understood thaU the number of hogs fed in the State next year will be determined by the amount of corn grown. It take* good land to grow corn, but where people have good corn land it is quite a satisfaction to know that they can market the crop through hogs at a good price.” FORD BATTERIES $7.95 ; WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE 622 BROAD PHONE 1166 ^ AUGUSTA, GA.
