The- esti- ‘number of boxes shipped by express is 70,- 000;, boat, 300,000; trucks, 360,000, and to can- ning plants 100,000 boxes, which would make the total erop for the season of 1925-26 about 15,850,- 000 boxes.

This completes the. most difficult unit of con- struction work of the whole highway, and means nearly five miles more added to the finished por- tion of the world’s greatest, grandest and most pic- turesque highway. On this stretch were built seven bridges ranging in length from 100 to 300. feet, and one bridge 2,800 feet long containing an im- mense steel draw span. The entire project was completed in twelve months at an-approximate cost of $160,000. Its completion opens up 32 miles of the road on the mainland end, and marks an epoch in the progress of the country’s greatest roadiuild- ing proposition. With construction work for every. foot of the highway contracted for, 32 miles: finished on one end and 12 miles on the other, work going along nicely and rapidly on several intervening sections and fine prospects for early activities in: the mat- ter of building the three long toll bridges, the peo- ple of Key West and the intervening keys can searcely realize how soon the vast project. will be completed and the tremendous value this wonderful driveway will be to them. Unit by unit, stretch by stretch, bridge by bridge, our long dreamed of highway to the main- land and the outside world is being completed, and sooner than many of us . expect’ will come the momentous announcement that the road to the mainland is finished. AMERICAN PRINCIPLES A favorite theme of the old time July Fourth orator was on “American principles.” In those days democracy was not se generally recognized in the world as it is now. It was remarked that if the governments of the world would reorganize their affairs on the American idea of equal rights, and would give the average run of people a better chance, they would be more stable and less subject to wars and revolutionary overturns. While many of those old speeches would seem bombastic and spread eagle now, yet their funda- mental idea was true. The governments of the world have largely come to the principles that were enunciated in our Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and if these ideas*had prevailed in Europe 15 years ago, there would have been no war. MORE LIGHT, MORE EGGS Stories of increased egg production by hens subjected to artificial light to lengthen their “ley- ing day” frequently have been published, but many persons have no doubt considered the -idea in the nature of a joke. But serious experiments, with data carefully recorded, have conclusively demonstrated the fact that hens aroused before daylight in lighted coops will produce more eggs than those “working” only during the natural day. ~ A test covering two months, held on the farm of R. L. Putze, néar Richmond, Va., was most in- teresting. His flock of 390 White Leghorn hens | was divided into two equal groups of 195 hens each, one group being subjected to artificial light and the other being without lights. In the lighted pen, an alarm clock operating a knife switch turn- ed on the lights at 5 o’clock im the morning dur- ing the months of February and March. As a re- sult, the hens in the lighted pen laid 6,528 eggs during the two months, while those in the unlighted pen laid only. 4,956. The value of the additional 1,572 eggs pro- dueed through lighting was $52.40. The expense for electricity used in lighting was only 96 cents. Thus the actual added profit on the flock of 195 hens resulting from early morning lighting of their pen was $51.44. In view of this and other successful experi- ments of the same nature, it seems likely that poultrymen everywhere will eventually ‘avail them- selves of this simple and inexpensive* method of increasing the egg production of their flocks. FLORIDA HAS CHANGED HANDS (Orlando Sun) Florida has a unique history hands: ; In 1523 Florida came into existence under Spain and 1563 France had a part of it, then 1728—Spain had it again, and 1763 Great Britain got Florida, while 1783 Florida went back to Spain, and 1818 the United States owned it, end 1819 Spain got it for the fourth time. 1821 the United States again became its 1861 The Southern Confederacy annexed | 1865 it came under the Stars and Stripes, where it has:remained ever since. | of chengins When They Get This Bird Disarmed, ecececcocessecoocseose Disarmament Will Be Easy BY CHARLES P.
