'Bunting, of Jacksonville, highways can be maintained most successfully and economically. Oth er counties n the State use the "gang" system, assigning to -. each gang a long section, upon which they make repairs at intervals, seldom reaching all the necessary ' pointa. In Grant County the plan Is to pre- vent a road from getting into bad condition rather than, to make repairs There are 13 patrol sections, each from to 10 miles long, in the 87.83 miles of county highways. , Each section Is in charge of a patrolman, who works constantly on' his piece of oad, feeling that be alone is respon sible for ita condition.

In addition they . reduced rice 450,000 acres, or 89 per cent nd tobacco 262,000 acres or " 32 per cent, a total reduction for 'these three crops of 10,906,000 acieg : These reductions, which were due to the unsatisfactory prices for last year's crops resulting from financial deflation, coupled with heavy stocks and lessened buying, are partly off set by increases in the acreages' of staple food and feed crops in these States. .
