The only way that seems possible of
explaining the all too limited use to
which the King road drag is put is
that its very simplicity and cheapness
Of construction have tended TO place ii
in disrepute. whereas if it were an i'm
plement of road improvement which
cost ten times what 1t does ii might
have come into more general use. But,
whatever the reason, the facts as they
stand prove that as yet we come n
long way from taking advantage of the
means within our reach for road i'm
provement. Another phase of this
same regrettable failure to do the best
we can is shown in the very limited
use Of broad tired wagons when they
are not only handler in everyday use,
but would do wonders for our high
ways II used instead Of the narrow
tired vehicles in hauling bulky produce

ties portion OF the road tax Is abat
ed to all users Of broad tired wagons.
The plan ought to become far more
general than at present.

TOBACCO
Has Made Big Crop More This
Year Than Last But Disap.
pointing In Some
Respects.

The Cincinnati Enquirer rec,.' "
went into an exhaustive investip o'r q
OF the tobacco situation covering tN.+,
point invoived throughout the count,
and the following is a synopsis of its
report, covering especially the Ken
lucky output:
This years tobacco crop, big as it is,
is disappointment. 1t will not pass
the billion pound mark set for it in the
early spring, when, after almost &C. 600
acres more than in 1900 had been set
out under most favorable conditions.
the plant started forward in most pro-
missing growth. Those 40, 900 acres
with the promised increased Weld from
the total of I,169,77l acres planted
would easily have made yield TO ex.
coed billion pounds. But the crop
met with succession of misfortunes.
Cold storms and frosts overlook it early
in life; later disastrous floods swept
away whole fields on bottom lands; then
the drouth touched it as it touched
corn, and a total of 20, 900 acres are re-
ported as not having reached the har-
vest stage.
According TO reports to the Enquirer
the total area for harvest is lao. S5t
acres, which compares with 100, 535 in
1000. The yield is estimated at OIL
O6S, 695 pounds, compared with 951 3D.
452 in 1900.
The Government may be expected to
estimate this years crop above one bill
lion pounds. as the Reporting Board of
the Department of Agriculture put the
area planted at 1 ,9l5, 900 acres and the
condition at about Is, compared with an
average of so. Calculating on the
Governments reported yield for 1909 of
949, 357 900, the stastic, the total of H.
1863, III acres planted, trouble in figur-
ing out billion pounds.
The difference between the Enquir-
ers estimate and that of the Govern
ment lies mainly in Kentucky, where
the Government claim planted area
of 40, 400 acres, while reports to the
Enquirer from every county of the
State producing tobacco in CONNIE rcia
qualities, cover planted area of only
3SS, $50 acres with only BIS, COS for the
harvest.
Many reports from Kentucky are
very discouraging as to the yield, and
while there are about 10000 acres more
than in 1909 harvest, the yield is esti-
mated to be 1900, 600 pounds less. The
injury, however, fell most heavily on
the ''dark'' district, so that yield of
Burley in Kentucky will be 1853, 900
pounds, compared with 1879. SOS, los in
1000.
