A Pointer for PIowmen.

When the soil has been plowed the
same depth a number of years, the bot
tom of the furrow may become glazed
and baked so hard the water cannot
settle through it or come up from be-
low by capillary action Then when
heavy rains come, plants are drowned,
and during a drouth can get no water
from the subsoil, all of which is rem
edied by subsoiling. Some soils are
injured by subsoiling, as waxy clay,
which when very wet will run to-
gether in a solid mass. Earthworms
tunnel such soils and keep them porous
and it is better not to disturb them.
A loose gravel or light sand is already
as loose as it should be to secure capil-
larry action, and it will be injured by
any attempt to make it looser-Agri-

NATIONAL AID PLAN.
1t Has Support of Good Roads Advo-
Gates in Both Houses of the
Present Congress.

| AS the time for the COZ Rening of con-
gress approaches, interest in important
legislation revives. Among the meas
uTes introduced and discussed in the
last congress, which will come up again
in this, there are few if any of greater
Importance than the Brownlow bill for
national aid to road building. Mr..
BrOwnlow, of Tennessee, the father of
the bill, is more enthusiastic than ever
for his pet measure, and will reintToduce
1t at the first opportunity. He thinks it
Is possible to secure its passage by this
congress and the remarkable growth of
favorable sentiment indicates that his
hopes may he realized. 1t is certain that
the principle involved will have power
tul aid in the house. A large number of
members from different sections stand
ready to support it, notably from the
south and west. The bill is also likely
to receive strong support from the Penn
Sylvania, New York and New England
delegations. This section of the coun-
try not only has the best improved
roads, but has had most experience with
the principle and practice of cooperation
in road building as embodied in the
state aid plan. 1t is believed that the
representatives from this section will
favor national aid, which is only more
general application of the principle Of
state aid
1t is certain also that the measure will
have active championship in the senate.
Senator Latimer, of South Carolina. is
an enthusiast on the subject of good
roads. and is fully committed to the ma
tional aid plan. 1t is also claimed that
number of northern senators will sup
port the measure.
1t is difficult to see how congress can
avoid taking up the good roads ques-
ton If the rural free mail delivery is to
be extended much farther Already the
people CT many districts are muttering
because extension of the free delivery
system has been refused to them Such
mutterlngs will soon develop into indig-
nant protests. and may result in bitter
opposition to the whole free delivery
system. How, indeed. can the govern
ment justify the granting of a great
blessing like this to those districts where
the people need it least, and the with
holding of it from those. who need it
most? Yet, as every well-informed man
knows, rural free delivery without good
roads is impracticable What then is
left for congress but to act under the
constitutional provision which provides
for the establishment of post-roads?
And certainly there is no easier way of
accomplishing this than by the national
aid plan, which will make the local COM
munities bear a large part of the bur-
den.
