SOME GOOD ROADS TALK.

The initial movement in Lancaster,
which promises a practical solution
of our bad roads problem, is being
much commented upon throughout
the State. The Potomac Progress,
of Westmoreland county, in a recent
issue discourses on it in the two indie
pendent paragraphs that we repro
duce here:
"The action of the people of Lancaster
county on January court day, in which
it was proposed to ask permission of the
Legislature to allow the county to issue
thirty-years bonds to raise money to build
roads, looks like business. Why can't
Westmorelsnd adopt similar planY"
1--WE hope some one will take the
initiative and secure a meeting of the
citizens OF the county to discuss the ad-
visibility Of issuing bonds and borrow
Ing money TO build roads. The time is
almost at hand when work must be COM
menced on these highwaysto make them
passaole. Why continue TO spend money
patching In small way, from which per-
manent results are not expected"
a writer In the Urbanna Sentinel
heartily endorses the plan suggested
by MIR. Claybrook, and figures on a
like basis for Middlesex county, urg-
ing that county to taks steps like
Lancaster has done.
In this connection it is not out of
place to add the following from an
editorial in the Richmond Neacs,
speaking of the use of conyicts on
the roads, which policy has also been
discussed in connection with Lam
casters roads and is certainly very
pertinent to the question:
The bill introduced by Senator Byars
for the employment of convicts on the
public roads OF this State is distinctly a
step In the right direction. 1t provides,
generally speaking, that counties may
provide suitable stockades and guards
and that convicts sentenced to less than
ten-year terms may be sent TO the stock
AIDES to be employed on the public high
ways under the direction OF the county

be preliminary TO the general employ.

"HURRICANE" BRANCH, the blood
hound detective, is to bring suit
against Suffolk citizens who petit
toned a newspaper correspondent
to ''give 'em rest" on his newspaper
notoriety. The jury will have to
weigh the damage sustained by loss
of newspaper advertising not paid
for. Maybe Mr.. "Hurricane" calcu-
lates to get more such advertising
by his suit-which he will do il the
costs do not 60 against him.

THE FLAX SEED SITUATION.
-rs Orange Judd Farmer,

It is too early yet to attempt any definite esti-
mate of the faxseed acreage, but preliminary re-
turns from county correspondents seem to indi-
cate that the decrease in is not SO large as
has been generally expected. The price of fax
seed has not been entirely satisfactory to the
northwestern growers during the past season,
and there has been much current talk of heavily
decreased area in the states of that section.
I; It would seem, however. that while some de-
crease is found In the Red river valley counties
in both Minnesota and Dakota, sufficient allow
ance has not been maze for the new settlement
and opening Of farm lands. On new farms flax
seed III the first crop in many instances and the
new area annually subdued by the plow in the
far northwest is greater than Is usually recog-
nized. To all appearances the decrease in acre
age in the northwest will not be much If any
more than 10 per cent Instead of 20 to rs per
cent, which has been forecasted in faxseed cir
cles. Planting was not entirely completed by
June /, tho the percentage planted after that
date was very small.
The southwestern acreage is decidedly less
than last year. Drought at one time and ex-
cess Of rainfall at another interfered with plow-
ing and seeding, especially in Wisconsin. In the
northwest however conditions both of soil and
weather were favorable at seeding time and the
bulk of the crop went in in good season and under
very satisfactory conditions
The early condition Of the crop Is reasonably
good in the districts of heaviest production and
the general crop prospects may be regarded as
quite satisfactory.
