Prior to 1818 a total of 445,829 square miles had been mapped, so that the total area covered by the detailed work of the survey at the close of June 80, 1918, was 488,981 square mHes. That part of the United States lying within regions where the rainfall Is sufficient for crop production or where water la available for Irrigation cov era approximately 1,750,000 square miles. The area mapped In detail dur ing 918 was equivalent to 22 per cent or this area, the total mapped in de tail to date 27.8 per cent, and the total. both detailed and reconnolssance work, much of the latter area calling for no further work, amounted to 54.3 per cent of it ; TREES FOR ROAD PROTECTION Active Steps Taken by New ' York N ( k I . urbanization, lor Development of Planting Scheme.

Believing that the problem of road side planting should not be entirely set aside during the movement for n great er mileage , of Improved highways, active steps are now beta taken br the New Tork State Motor federa tion and the State College of Forestry at Syracuse for the development of a planting scheme for the Section of the highway , running from Syracuse to Utlca, a distance of about 60 miles.- It has been demonstrated by those In charge of the work that aside from the purely ornamental value of trees along the highway, many practical ben efits would result from: their proper use. ; It is not generally realized that trees, Dy means of their shade during the summer months, prolong the life of the roadway for many years, and road experts In general are heartily In fa vor of this means for road protection.

Parents! ' Have you ever stopped to realize just what the army means to you and to the heme? If you have been at all observant you could, not help but marvel at the wonder ful change for the better which has been wrought in your boy after hav ng served in the army for a short time.. Let us see what it has done for him physically. ' The are a num ber of cases on record where the change has been to marked that the father failed to recocnlze his own ton when he returned. Just take an wrerage case. The vouno- man has acquired a robust figure, square shoulders, he holds his head erect, there is a steady look in his eye, he walks with a Arm and elastic step.'he has grown taller and more muscular. In short he is the nerfect nicture of neaitn ana young manhood. He is atj once the joy of his mother's heart me pnae oi ms tatner and the oDject f adoration of brother and sister. This boy has returned to you with vastly improved ideas on sanitation. He knows that it pays to brush his teeth and take his bath regularly. This means better health and conse quently fewer bills from the dentist. He has acquired a deeper hatred for that pestiferous Insect, the house-ny Is he going to stand for that rubbish heap in the back yard? You can bet your sweet life he wont. Is he go ing to come into the houm with mud on his shoes, toss his hat on the floor and throw his coat on the chair? If you think sn you have another guess coming. He has been taught that everything has a place and that there is a place for everything. He will see to it that everything in and a- tiout the home is "spick and span," neat and sanitary. In these days when the servant problem is per plexing many a mother, it will not be amiss to remember that the boy's course in K-P-ship has taught him how to peel a potato, string a bean, or wash the dinner dishes. Just try him once. He hasn't forgotten. Other Qualities, the value of which have been instilled into his system are those of team-work, unselfish ness, and service. Are these quali ties conducive to more harmonious conditions in the home? Answer for yourself. His manners, too, have been im proved. Instead of saying "Yep .Thoughtful Citizens of Nash County ' to Hamper Road Construction in Saturday, July 12th, is going to be an important Nash County. Do you realize this, Mr. Voter?

It is a fine opportunity for the various ' Road Commissioners, or rather the Nash County Highway Commission to make an effort to se cure such of this equipment as is needed for road construction In Nash county. It is understood that apportion ment will be made on the basis of the allotments in the Federal Road Act in the same way that 20,000 army motnr trucks are now being distaibuted for road construction purposes in the States. The equip ment includes about 1500 catterpillar tractors; about 400 road rollers, steam and gas-driven; a large nnm ber of concrete mixers and road graders, rock crushers, industrial lo comotives, railway trucks, dump carts, steam shovels, hoisting en gines, motor trucks and consider able smaller equipment. , In many of the cantonments in this country are thousands of motor trucks, now useless to ihe army and lying idle which can be turned to great use in all sections of the coun try instead of being allowed to go to waste, when such equipment is sore ly needed for road-building pur poses, and which can be had almost for the asking by those- districts in need of such equipment. , and "Nope" he will now say "Yes Sir" and "No Sir" or "Yes Ma'am" and "No Ma'am" when addressed by ais elders. He has learned to obey and respect his superiors. In fact he will behave toward his elders with that sense of deference which every parent love to see in his or her son. One might dwell at some length, almost indefinitely, on the physical. mental and moral benefits derived through a short course in military training which directly or indirectly prove to be valuable assets to the parent and to the home. Further proofs however will not be necess ary. Those who still doubt are, let us say, beyond recall; FINALLY, BRETHREN! weaitny townsnips as couia rje x Y i , 1 hamper your County.

A large crowd was in attendance upon the "Welcome Partv" given by the Baraca-Philathea Classes of the Odom Sunday school on the evening of the 13th. ult, when these organizations dohghtfully enter tained the young men of that neigh borhood who have recently returned from overseas. It was an ideal evening for such an occasion and the young people, as well as the older folks, thoroughly enjoyed the oc casion. Among the sterling young men who went from that neighborhood to the front and whose return to loved ones and friends, to partici pate in the festivities of the evening were, Richard Bohbit, Joe Coggins, Keter Coggin, Neverson Coggin, L?e Coggin, "Judge Coggin, "Capt Vick and Silas Gordon, while other kahki clad young men from other sections of the county, were present to re ceive the genuine hospitality accord ed. Rev. Oscar Crepch was present and made a very interesting talk to the boys, and short talks were made by Privates Keter, and Joe Coggin , O. P. May and Mr. A. J. Coggin. Ice cream, cake and other dainties were served during the evening, and the occasion was a perfect love-feast for all present. The City Aldermen have pasaed an order requiring all motor cars to come to a atop at the corner of Washington and Railroad atreets before entering Railroad street from Washington street, or before enter ing Washington street from Raii road street, and for the past few days Policeman Bartholomew has been acquainting the public witli this order. While there is some little "kick" coming from a few of the motorist, they should realize that human life or the possible damage to other car is too serious a matter as compared to the little inconvenience occasioned by complying with the order. Now the next step to be taken is to put an end to speeding, which has become a common custom among all automobile owners in Nashville and who for the past several months have made all the streets of the town race courses Cannot Afford All Sections. day in the history of Y 1 secured unaer a town- ; - Board of County Com- ; , roads throughout NashsM golden opportunity.

Dehorning chutes, for holding ealtle while being dehorned, were also constructed hv the demonstrators, who emphasized the Importance of using them instead of resorting to such prac tices as throwing the animals with ropes, lying them to fences or similar niclliiids which are unsatisfactory. In a nmnlier of cases fanners were per mitted to dehorn one or two animals lo liccoine familiar with the operation. The met hod of dehorning depends In each case upon the age of the cattle, specialists of the department say. Demonstrations with young calves showed how the growth of horns can he prevented !y properly applying caustic soda or caustic potash. Olde nlves and other cattle were dehorned either with the saw or clippers. While clippers remove the horn more quick ly and with less pain to the finimnl, the saw has the ndvantage of not crushing the horn, especially In the ease of old animals whose horns nre hard and brittle. Neither does the saw cause as much bleeding, since by lacerating the blood vessels It causes a clot of Wood to form quickly. NO PLACE FOR SCRUB STOCK Animal Is Wasteful of Feed and Own er's Labor Pure-Breds Are Worth More to Keep. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Scrub live stock is no longer fit for perpetuation in the United States. A scrub is wasteful of feed and wasteful of its owner's labor. The scrub animal has served Its purpose as a connecting link between the old obsolete method Kof farming and new progressive meth ods. Thousands of fanners In this country already have discarded scrub stock and nre better off because of that dncislon. I'ure-breds are worth more to keep and are worth more to sell.' The scrub animal has been use ful as a connecting link, but our aim from now on should be to make the scrub extinct and to make It.the miss ing link so far ns live stock is con cerned.
