"tn one respect, at least, Indiana
leads the country" said Randolph
Ripley, wealthy farmer, of South
Bend, Ind. "That is in the matter OF
good roads, he continued. 1--WE are
spending every year about 100000
in improving our highways. This is
not all in cash; the va lue of the labor
tax is reckoned in that amount, but
it is relatively small. Every year the
State spends nearly 100000 in cash
on the roads. We have in the State
nearly 10000 miles of public road, of
which more than $4,000 miles are i'm
proved. A road tax of 80 cents Oh
each 500 worth of taxable property
outside of incorporated cities and
towns 10 levied annually by the town
ship trustee of each township, and an
additional tax of 10 cents on the 800
valuation may be levied for the con-
struction and repair of bridges, cul
verts, &c. THIS tax may be worked
out at the rate OF 81 so day. Every
able bodied male person over twenty
one, and under fifty years of age, re-
siding in road district, or township,
is required to perform not less than
two, nor more than four days. labor
on the public road each year, or to
furnish substitute. The people of
the state have found that good roads
pay snd they cheerfully do the work,
and pay the tax required of them. 1t
is interesting to note that in the last
ten years upward of $ll 100000 has
been expended on the public roads of
Indiana from bond issues alone. The
total expenditure on the roads, of
course, has been much larger. 1t
averages $65 per mile of public road,
or $l.75 per inhabitant."

land has SIS, 1913 ,455; Virginia, 1884,
934; Delaware, S669,995; Pennsyl-
vania. $2,O97,715. Virginia has in
creased her investment by 1881, $50
and Delaware by $l2,79S, but Mary
land and Pennsylvania has since 1901
decreased their investments in fisher
les. Maryland's product was valued
at So 1856 $50, Virginia's at S. ,5S4 ,354
Delaware's at $3.50, $50, Pennsylvauia's
at $167,499. In 1897 Maryland held
the first place among the Middle At
lantic States at the value of its fisher
les, but the decline of the oyster in
dustry has now brought the State
down to the fourth place. Since 1901
there has been a decline of 1928 in
the number of men engaged in the
Maryland fishing industry, "mainly,"
says the report, "because Of the de-
cline of the oyster fishery and the con-
sequent reduction of force in the oys-
tershucking and canning houses"
The catch was 81,12s,86e pounds, the
decline since 1901 being 2 per cent. in
quantity and IL per cent, in value.
There has been some increase in the
catch Ct crabs and menbaden, but the
greatest decreases have been in oys-
tiers and shad. OF the men afoat,
1920 were on the vessels fishing,
1857 were aboard vessels engaged in
Transportation and 1887 were en-
ployed in shore aud boat fisheries.
Market oysters from natural rock
were worth $2,o9S,992, from private
beds 1901 $50. Shad gave value of
s129,773; alewives, $l3S,OOO; catfish,

$72,2O7; hard crabs, $l6S,996; soft
crabs, $l89,s5l, turtles, $456; terra
pin, $2,71s. Somerset county has the
largest fishery product in point of
value, the output consisting chiefly of
oysters and crabs. Dorchester, how
ever, catches more oysters than does
Somerset. Talbot ranks first in the
hardcrab industry, the crabs being
picked from their shells and shipped
in buckets. Worcester has a consid-
cradle oyster.planting industry. Bal
