Carloads to Farmers.

Does he turn out many books as d
result of his activities? If print ii
from 500 to 1000 different kinds Of
books every year is not a publishing
record, what it? And then comes the
number of each.
The Yearbook of the department of
agriculture starts the list with half
million copies year. Each book
weighs about three pounds. One and
a half million pounds, $50 tons, 25
carloads-that is what Uncle Sam
gives to his farmer friends as a
starter.
AS the birthplace of the millions of
public documents, the number of
pieces turned out annually is so great
that even the much-discussed audit
system. kicked out uncermoniously by
President Roosevelt, lost track of the
count. In 1907, however, there were
100000 pieces turned out, $685.
900 pages of type to set.
Waste Paper Brings $31,O
The waste paper sold last year
brought s31, 900, and waste paper at
the government printing office is re-
duced to the least possible minimum.
Perhaps the $40 gold piece you gave
away last Christmas came from the
government printing office as a part
of its $4555 worth of waste gold leaf
it sold to the mint last year.
Even the leather scraps from the
bookbiniing department in year are
sold for more than $4,000. 1t takes
about $4,000 worth of printers ink,
some $4,000 pounds of it in all, to do
the printing.
Enough gold leaf is used to pay for
a fine farm, and thread that costs
as much as a good six-room city home
is required for sewing purposes.

UNCLE SAM, PUBLISHER, TURNS
OUT MILLIONS OF WORKS FOR
DISTRIBUTION AMONG PEOPLE
WASTE PAPER is VALUABLE

The recent fight in congress as to
whether the census reports should be
printed at the government printing
office or by private contract, to-
gether with the preparations now be-
ing made at the former place for
printing the millions of blanks which
will be required in the great decen-
NAL stocktaking of the nation, serve
to remind the public that Uncle Sam
is a great publisher.
Not only is he a great publisher,
but he is by far the greatest publish
er in the world. He starts out with
a printing and binding account OF
more than $6,O0O,000.
Then he has such vast corps Of
authors that his manuscripts are con-
servatively estimated to cost him
$14,00O,000 more Uncle Sam, pub
Usher, spends perhaps $20,000,000 a
year.

Six Years for Indexing.

A former incumbent of the office
estimated that he could, in six years,
prepare such a catalogue of docu-
ments, and topical index to the de-
bates in congress from the beginning
of the government down to 1905, at
total cost of 100000. The pres
ent superintendent frankly says that
it can not be done in six years,
neither can it be done at an autlay
of 100000. He would probably
want 10 years and more than $780,
600.
The indexes that have been pre-
pared in the past have been decidedly
amateurish. One index is called a
Birds Eye Index to the TORY Bank
rupt Bill" yet 1t is only a single
page table of contents, no better and
no worse than hundreds of indexes of
one kind and another that congress
has bought at big prices

Things are going better in Uncle
Sans publishing business today than

when he has business there.

ANOTHER COMMISSION
Is Suggested for Additional Appoint
ments by the Governor.

The Picayunes Baton Rouge special
says: George S. Cooley of the United
States good roads bureau, is very much
in favor of the State establishing
State highway commission.
This State has a road plant that rep
resents a cost of about three and quar-
ter million dollars, and it cost Louisiana
about million dollars annually to
maintain this plant" said Mr.. Cooley,
''but in spite of the large sum of money
that is expended on roads, there IS no
uniform State system for the handling
of this work.
"There is no other business in the
country that is handled in such loose,
slip-shod manner. No corporation would
think of expanding million dollars
year and not have some intelligent head
to supervise the expenditure.
''What Louisiana should have is
State highway commission to have gen
eral charge of the good road work, ane
an engineer and representative of thu
commission in each of the parishes.
Louisiana has been aroused to thu
| Importance of good roads, and / believ'
that the necessary legislation will fol
low"
But has Louisiana determined on tn
indulgence of such plant? And if
commission is good for the State VIII
not have sub-commissions in every par
ish and in every ward of every parish il
the State, all appointed by the Gov
ernor?

THE BOIL WEEVILS
Transferred Across the Mississippi
River in Gravel

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
SAYS: The boil weevils in this section
have found that it is much easier to
ride across the Mississippi river on
gravel cars and transfer boats than it is
to fly across the mighty stream, which
is supposed to be a mile from levee to
levee. When the boil weevil first hit
the Mississippi river there was consld-
cradle discussion as to whether Or not
the weevil was able to fly across the
stream, but while the discussion was go
ing on the weevi1 crossed, and removed
the question from the realm of aca-
demic discussion.
After flying the stream for the past
four years the weevils has come to the
conclusion that it is no easy JOB, and
hat there is no need of flying across the
great waterway when ride is to be had
for lite effort. According to those
who are in a position to know, the
gravel cars and the railroad transfer
| boat have a great many weevlls or
/ them. The cars get the weevils in the
/ trips through the cotton fields where the
track is built near the cotton fields.
