Secretary Wilson says that 1903
was the most prosperous year that
agriculturists have ever experienced
in this country. Eleven years ago
the value of the agricultural products
of the country was $4417, 800, 900;
last year the aggregate was $780,
100000, almost double. Right in
this connection it will be in order
for President j. ]. Hill to explain
why all our agricultural products
are needed at home when our popu-
lation has increased only about 49,
200 in the last decade.

"A number of public-spirited citi'
zens have been demonstrating the ef'
fectiyeness of the split-log drag on
the Snyderville road, just beyond the
borough line, to the spoke factory
across by the covered bridge and
down the Bartonsville road as far as
the stone bridge. This road was
gone over in July and now again af'
ter the recent rains, which is the time
to use it, says a Stroudsburg paper
1t is only necessary to drive over this
road, gone over in a day, and com
pare it with any approach to the
town. 1t is smooth, dry and with
out a mud hole. The keynote of its
success is that the water cannot
stand on its surface because it is
leveled and evenly sloped. 1t is be-
yond question the cheapest, fastest
most effective road-making of the
day. Every supervisor in this county
should see for himself and every in
dividual taxpayer insist on its use
as he is sure to do once having
seen its work.
