Novel Exposition of a Road System which
Wastes Many Millions

Novel Exposition of a Road System which
Wastes Many Millions
About 500, 900 acres Of land have been
taken from the farmers of Illinois for
roads. This strictly for country roads,
not including city and village streets
This land, at $40 per acre, is worth S2O,-
900, 600.
Is $40 per acre q fair estimate? Roads
ARE most numerous near cities, where
the land is worth 81, 900 per acre, and
much moro is worth $500 per acre, also
near villages, where the land is worth
from $3.50 TO 5000 per acre. Much more
land is worth 500 per acre. Other
land is worth from $40 to $50 per acre.
A fair average for the whole state,
thereto re. is not far from $40 per acre
All the roads in Illinois are by law
four rods wide. But not one-fiftieth of
the roads are actually utilized for a
space more than two rods wide. In
many cases the space usei is not over
one rod wide to twenty feet of length.
The rest-the part not actually used
Is vhsted. Worsc than wasted-it is
the great public breeding ground of all
the Toxicus weeds and destructive in.
sects and worms that iniure the agri.
culture Of Illinois.
Therefore this waste land is a positive
damage, causing AT annual loss of mil:
lions of dollars to the state.
If this unused land were all cult.

If the roads OF Illinois were SO GlaeT'i

A Word About Seedlings.

Seedlings are apt to succeed best

the fittest 4 cause. II one had sown
southern apple seed in Dakota and one
survived it might be expected to be the
hardest that germinated. If we had
sown apple seed produced from Dakota
trees we should have hoped to have
been more successful, expecting that
the Dakota-grown seed would inherit
and tend to perpetrate characteristics
produced by their parents struggling
with the great severity of the climate.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

An old grape vine does not require
manure close to the stem, rs the small
oot are farther away.
For roofing, the best cutting of q
plant is a shoot of new growth made
just before it grows woody.
If your trees are to be shipped some
distance. arrange to have them packed
in boxes rather than bales.
The rhubarb and asparagus plants
will be the better for a good covering
of coarse manure at this time.
WHEN plants are wanted the runner
should be encouraged. but when fruit
is desired keep them cut off.
