GOOD ROAD PROBLEM.

Report of the Officers of Uncle sam'a
Agricultural Department..
The agricultural department is about
to issue elaborate information OH the
subject of 'good roads," which con-
gress has directed the department to
investigate. The publication will en-
brace the entire proceedings of the
national road conference, held at As

into local questions of road materials
and transportation, and into all latest
improvements in road implements and
machinery.
But who is to do all this? And that
brings us to the first practical step in
general road improvement, namely,
that every state should have perma-
nent commission composed of citizens
of the highest character to undertake
this investigation and recommend the
necessary measures to the Legislature
