Hints For ROadbuiIders.

To intelligently locate roads for a
county, for instance, there should be a
map ON a large scale showing water
courses, railway stations, towns and their
population and the population per square
mile for different sections. Having de-
termined the general direction and ex-
tent of the road, the problems of grade,
drainage, adaptability of the soil for
road purposes and minor considerations
may present themselves before definite
location may be determined. The amount
of grade in country road should prop
erly depend upon the character of the
country and traffic. Grades should never
be level and never very steep. 1t is better
to go around steep hill than over it.
Steep short cuts may be convenient for
neighborhoOd roads, but never for main
thoroughfares. Clayey surface may be
helped by the addition of sand and sandy
surface by the addition of clay With
regard to drainage, ample and well
graded side bitches with abundant out
lets for storm water should be supplied
The effort should be to construct a mar
row good road-not a wide common road
The layout should be wide, but the
graded portion narrow. Ground surfao-
ing was good and broken trap rock still
better. The road surface should be, in
fact, traffic bearing, waterproof j..
over the dirt road, slightly yielding
malleable under heavy loads, but suffi-
GENTLY firm not to break.-Minneapolis
Tribune.

In the air all around,
And love words abound,
Hidden music betraying;
In the air all around
A coy song is delaying.

There is waited to me

and producing the fruit as cheap as in
western New York or Ohio, or in fact
any Northern State.
We as grape growers and shippers
have also demonstrated the fact that to
place our fruit on the Northern market
in June and July, with our present ia
cilities for transportation is a signal fail
ure. These two propositions may seem
to clash-yet both are facts. Who is
to blame, if anyone? We as grape grow
ers place our fruit in baskets and crates
as fine as the best, healthy, sound fruit.
They are placed in an express Car to go
through from Orlando in forty-eight
hours, at cost Of So 80 per 100 pounds.
They reach Philadelphia and New York
on time. Reports come pack to ship
pers, "grapes received in bad condition,
weather hot, fruit badly picked. Will
sell for but little over cost of transpOrta-
tion and commissions" The labor of
years is lost. Our fond hopes Of a fair
return for our la Dor dashed to the ground
in one moment.
The Florida Grape Growers Union
and Market Association as organi-
Zed so that we might work to-
gether and have more influence with
transportation companies, yet we failed
to get our fruit into market in good or
der. Who is to blame? Our able Sec
retary was instructed to secure refrigera-
tor service to the east coast cities. On
investigation we found that not refrig-
orator car could be secured for Philadel-
phia or New York on any terms; could
not be had. The railroad companies Oper-
ating thes lines did not own refrigerator
cars, and the Cold Storage Co. cars had
all been withdrawn from Florida. Mr.
Myers, the able superintendent Of the
Southern Express Company, could not
give us anything but common express
cars to ship our grapes. The tempera
ture in these cars about July 1st, runs
up to 1909 and l150 during the day. Does
anyone wonder our grapes reached their
destination in bad order?
| ask again, who is to blame? Cali
fornia fruit growers get refrigerator eX-
press service of the best and at reasonable
rates, their fruit reaching Chicago in
perfect order and condition, and on
schedule time, no delay. Why cannot
the railroad and express companies
do the same by the fruit growers
of Florida? Our interests are mu-
tual. If the producers of Florida fail
the transportation companies also fail
If we succeed the transportation compa-
MES also succeed. We must have re-
frigerator express service of the best and
highest order. We do not complain at
the cost but the service. | ask the rail
road companies and the Southern and
Adams Express Companies, can you and
will you give us better service and save
our industry. GEO. ID. WRIGHT:
President of the Grape Growers Union
