Fifteen years ago New Jersey awak'

are public property and the state owes
q duty to them. After bitter con-
test, in which the farmers who were

them, and found how state aid had
relieved their burden, more roads were
demanded. State after state has
fallen into line to improve the high
ways by contributions from the state

three million pounds was the aggregate
of the expectation of sugar from this

The United States sugar record for
1907 was unique in that the quantity OF
that product imported from foreign
countries was larger than ever before.
the quantity brought from our island
possessions was larger than in any

at home exceeded that of any other
year. the quantity exported was larger
than in any year of the past decade,
and the per capita consumption was
the largest ever recorded. an average

An equally interesting feature of this

the production of beet sugar for the
