THE GREAT CROPS OF 1908.

The farmers Of the country will
receive eight billion dollars for
tae crops this year, according to
the estimate OF Secretary OF Agri-
ca ture Wilson. Such figures fairly

the Richmond Times Dispatch puts
IL, large enough 10 buy all the
ass is OF any one OF the various
So. ond class powers and all the as
sets OF half a dozen third class pow
RS Not only this, but distributed
per capita IL would give a hundred
dollars to, every man, woman and
hi d in the country ana -here would
be enough eft to make the Amer

CARE OF EARTH ROADS.
How Clay Roadbed's Treatment Differs
From One Composed of Sand.

TToW Onc SOFnPOSSO OF odnu.
On clay roads thin layer of sand,
gravel or ashes will prevent the stick
ing OF clay to the roller or to the
wheels OF vehicles. Clay soils, as a
rule. absorb water quite freely and
soften when saturated, but water does
not pass through them readily. When
used alone clay Is the least desirable
OF all road materials, but roads com
posed OF clay may be created with
sand or small gravel from which a
comparatively hard and compact mass
Is formed, which IS nearly impervious
TO water. Material of this character
found I'm the natural state commonly
known as "hardpan" makes when
properly applied a. very solid and
durable road. In soils composed Of a
mixture of sand, gravel and clay all
that Is necessary to make a good road
Is to crown the surface and keep the
ruts and holes filed and the bitches
open and free.
While clay alone never makes
good road except in dry weather, sand

alone never makes a good road except
In wet. The more the drainage of a
sand road is improved the more de-
plorable becomes its condition. Moth
Ing will ruin one quicker than to dig
a ditch on each side and drain all the
water away. The best way. therefore,
to make such a road firm Is to keep 1t
constantly damp. This can be done by
planting shade trees along its sides
to prevent the evaporation Of water
or by growing upon the surface Of
such sand roads a thick turf, prefer
ably Bermuda grass. Roads running
through loose sand may be improved
by mixing clay with the sand and
slightly browning the surface.
For tho temporary Improvement Of
earth or sand roads any strong 6brous
substance. especially II It holds mois-
ture, such as refuse Of sugar cane or
| sorghum and even common straw,
fax. swamp grass or pine needles, will
be useful. Spent tan bark is some
times beneficial. and wood fiber In any
form Is excellent. Enough sand or

them from catching fire.
Earth Is composed of small, irresu-
lar fragments which touch each other
at points, leaving voids between
When the earth is broken up and pull
verified these voids are almost equal
In volume to the solid particles, and
as result the earth will absorb al
most an equal volume Of water. In
the building or maintaining Of earth
roads 1t Is therefore very desirable
that these small, irregular particles be
pressed and packed into as small a
space as possible I'm order that sur
plus water may not pass In and de-
stroy the stability Of the road. To
this end rolling Is very beneficial. The
work Of maintaining dirt roads will be
much increased by lack Of care In
properly rolling the surface.

MORE WAR ON BETS.
Governor Hughes Takes Step, to Force Favorable Action.

Albany, N. Y, April 15.-Angered by the defeat of the Agnew-Hart antirace track gambling bills, Governor Hughes started out on an aggressive campaign of reprisal.
 Governor Hughes refuses to accept as decisive the tie vote of 9 to 25 by which the Agnew-Hart bills were lost in the senate. In statement made when the news of the senate's action was declared to him the governor de clared that he had no thought of giving up the struggle.
 Tt is impossible to believe" he said that the people will permit the plain mandate of the constitution to be ig. nored. The contest has not ended; ii has only begun. It will continue until the will of the people is obeyed."
 He rebuked the legislature in a spe. ciaI message demanding the passage of the racing bills, gave notice that if all his pet measures are not passed before April 23 he will call the legislature in extra session on May II, vetoed meas ures introduced by two Republican senators who voted against the racing bills and practically fixed May 12 fol the special election of a senator in the Mia agara- Orleans district, who, he hopes will give him the twenty-siXth vote necessary for q constitutional major

is devoted to laudation of the admins tration of President Roosevelt and to affirmation of Republican principles. The principle of protection is affirmed, but such revision of the tariff sched. ules as will prevent injustice and in eQualities by retaining customs duties which shall at least equal the differ ence between the cost of production at home and abroad"
 The advocates of a strong indorse- ment of Governor Hughes candidacy were disappointed by the closing para. graphs of the platform. They wanted the delegates from the congressional districts instructed to vote and work for Governor Hughes as well as the delegates at large.
 Former State Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Saratoga, president of the Hughes State league. presented a mi nOrity report of the committee on res olutions which sought to amend the resolution indorsing Governor Hughes and instructing the delegates at large to work for him, also requesting other delegates to ''persistently labor for his nomination until Il nomination Is made" Mir. Brackets report precipi tated sharp debate on the convention floor, and the 1000 delegates and the spectators who filled the galleries were aroused to high point of excitement. The minority report was turned down The delegates opposed to the indorSe- ment of Governor Hughes met with scant encouragement in the conven. tion. 1t being the evident desire of the great majority of those present to put themselves on record as favoring the | nomination of New York's "favorite son."
 Congressman Sherman's address | touched only incidentally on the pres idential candidacy of Governor Hughes He opened with recital of the politi ical history of New York state, show ing the important position held by the commonwealth in the national annals since the inception of the Union. After naming many prominent New Workers, of all political faiths, he came down to President Roosevelt, whom he call ed "our valorous soldier, our matchless governor. our scholarly statesman. Proud indeed is the Empire State of her great son, and proud indeed would we be to join our sister states in his renOmination and reelection had he not prevented the delegates obeying the manifest wish of those they well represent"
 Governor Hughes was referred to as "a man of experience, of ripe schol- arship, of spotless integrity, one who, tried in both private and public life, commands the respect, attracts the support of good citizens regardless of party aff1liation. Measured in the moral and intellectual scale, his future predicted on what his past has been, we assert that New York's governor, successful at Chicago in June, will after March be President Hughes"
