"ECONOMY" STILL MOVING * UPWARD The President's message to the Congress Tuesday might lead the unwary to conclude ''Economy is a discovery of the present Na tional Administration, for it is soberly asserte'd that — "Whatever doubts may have been entertained as to the neces sity of this policy and the benefi cial results which would accrue from it to all the people of the nation, its wisdom must now be considered thoroughly demon strated." , / But on Wednesday the Presi dent sent another annual message to the Congress —the budget mes sage—and this latter tells a differ ent story. It shows that the Administration, instead of cutting the enormous total appropriations of the last few years is asking for even more. The immense in crease of more than $400,000,000 for 1927 over 1926 was astounding in the midst of claim of economy. Apologists said it was an unus ual and abnormal condition that made appropriations so large for 1927. Yet they are to be enlarged apain if the Congress complies with the President's requests. The upward movement of ap propriations in the Cool id ge Ad ministration (notwithstanding. claims of economy) is one of the very excellent reasons in favor of amending the tax law by cutting rates, as the Democrats are seek ing'todo, instead of merely giv ing a percentage credit next year on this year's accrual to dispose of a part of the surplus, and let ting the present rates stand. The fact ip, rates are and have been, too high, "With the result that there is a constant temptation to more and bigger government costs. Appropriations for 1928 recom mended by the President in his bndget message are in round numbers $4,000,000,000 which is about four times the total for any pre-war year in our history, yen the President keeps up an effort to make the people believe his Administration is breaking rec ords in saving. There Is poor prospect of real saving until the amount of revenue within reach is reduced by lower* rates of taxa \ i.ion and abolition of remaining Special w&r taxes. PAYING FOR IT ANYWAY. The Japanese demand for as phalt is growing steadily, owing TiO the increased road mileage. The larger part of the asphalt ' used in the past has been import ed from the United States, about 60,000 tons annually. Japan, like all other sections of the world, is learning that bad roads are far more costly than good roads. Bad roads keep farm products from markets, while roads scientifically constructed and maintained with modern road machinery, really represent an In vestment rather than an expense —they offer insurance against tremendous economic waste such as wear and tear on automobiles and wagons, and inability to move crops. One state highway official cftates the case graphically: "Your road district may as well have tractors and modern machinery, you are paying for them anyway." And so it is with roads; the taxpayer pays for hauling on rock which is washed and blown away iin mnd and dust, wken & water proof, shock absorbing wearing surface would save this precious material and prevent constant maintenance expense.

Atlanta,' Qa. —Tlie handsome silver cup offered by -the Southern Rail way System to the grower of the best ten ears of corn, produced ta eip;ht states of the South and exhibited at certain- state and district fairs*. was first competed tor in 1925. It was shown at most of the fairs within the territory and did much to stim ulate competition among the corn growers of the South. The ten-ear exhibit adjudged to be the best shown at each fair was put up in a sealed package by the offi cials of the fair and forwarded to the General Agricultural AgenJ, Southern Railway System, Atlanta, Ga., with a letter certifying the name and postofflce address -of grower &ild exhibitor of the corn and the county In whloh It waa grown. Twen ty-seven lota of corn which bad won first prises at the fairs were forward ed to Atlanta. At the Invitation of Southern Rail way System, Mr. John R. Hutcheson, Director of Agricultural Extension, Blaoksburg, Va.; Mr. B. B. Fe|rts, Di rector of the South Mississippi Branch Experiment Station, Poplarvllle, Miss., and Mr. 0. A. Cobb, Editor of the Southern Ruralist, Atlanta, met tn Atlanta on December 7 to select the best one of the twenty-seven lots of corn and award the cup. Each ten ear exhibit was given a nnmber and the judges had no mean* of knowing where It was grown or by whom It had been exhibited. It Is doubtful whether so many uni formly good exhibits of corn had ever before been gotten together In the South. All of them were good, but, after carefully going over each ex* hlbit and scoring It on the schedule of points governing the award, the Judges unanimously agreed as to one to which the cup should be awarded. It was then found that this exhibit had been grown by William Patton Poland, a 16-year-old Corn Club boy, Of Pomarla, Newberry County, South Carolina, and had been awarded the first prize at the South Carolina State Fair, at Columbia. He was accord ingly awarded the cup for 1925. In SOUTHERN ENGINES IN COLOR SET NEW STYLE - —■ New Pawn per Locomotive of Southern Railway Byater»vPalnt«d Green and Gold.

"The committee of Judges feel thai the exhibits assembled in the South? ern Railway Corn Contest were verj creditable throughout and that the Southern Railway itself, especially iti Development Service, ia to be heartilj cOmmended for this forvifrrd Btep fl has taken toward the development o Southern agriculture. "We feel that offering the trophy is distinctly in the interest of th 4 farmer** generally throughout the en tire southeastern section of the coun* try and are of the opinion that tin contest is worthy of the continued sup port of the farmers and agricultural leaders in the louth. We were pleased to find so large a number of exhibit* representing so wide a territory, In dicating the wide-spread Interest in the contest" The cup was formally presented t» William Prtton Boland In the. Gov ernor's office at Columbia oh Decem ber 23, by Governor Thomas 1 Mo* Leod of South Carolina. In conformity with, a ooncurreot resolution adopted by the legislature of South Carolina, the cup was put on exhibition tn the lobby of Um State Mouse. It wae shown at Charles*' ton, S. C., during the meeting of tht National Foreign Trade Convention tfi that city, April 28-80, 1926, and wa# taken to Washington, D. C., and shows during the meeting of th'fc Unite* States Chamber of Cqmmerpe, MftJ 11-18, 1926, where It attracted mueb attention. By invitation, young Bo land took the cup to the White Hous* where he was congratulated IJjr Pres ident coolidge and where photograph! of president, the cup winner and the §up wore made on tbe Whlt« House laws. It Is Interesting to note that t&4 corn which won the prise ill 1918 was a variety eliminated in Georgli and improved by Mr. T. M Mills, County Agent, Newberry County.

The South has engaged in sounder thinking since the advent of the cotton boll weevil and has set about the correction of the economic error of buying from other sections foods amd feeds ' that coold be grown at home.

The fine, strides along these line* were not made without real effort.
