SAYS State Needs Roads.

C. A. Kenyon was the guest OF the
Plainfield Public improvement league.
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Mr. Kenyon. who delivered an
address on Good Roads" Mr.. Ken
Won said that Indiana was far behind
her sister states in the quality OF her
roads, and attributed this TO the fact
that our laws are ANTICIPATED and need
revision 10 bring them in time with
modern thought and practise. He
said that all OF the states east and
many OF those west and south OF US
have state highway commissions and
state aid for the building and main
tenance OF their roads. while Indiana
has her roads maintained by working
out road taxes-a relic OF the middle
ages.
Mr.. Kenyon went on 10 show how
poor roads levied a tremendous in
visible tax on the farmer in the extra
cost OF hauling. Produce. he said. can
be hauled on good. hard. smooth
roads at from to 5 cents per ton per
mile. while on Indiana roads II costs
from is to 30 cents per ton per mile.
according TO the condition OF the
roads.
Last year, according TO the Indiana
bureau OF statistics. the farmers
raised 6,6s0,315 tons OF wheat. corn.
oats. potatoes and other produce. II
this produce were hauled on an aver
age OF five miles at cost OF 20 cents
a ton per mile. when 1t could be mar
keted over good roads at from to 5
cents per ton per mile, the farmers
were paying an invisible tax. or sus-
tanning a loss OF s10.0O0000 per an
mum without knowing IL. He spoke
also OF the use OF convicts for the
building and maintenance OF roads by
some OF the states, and suggested
that Indiana could use with advan-
tage some Of her able-bodied convicts
in the preparation of road material
and perhaps the jail prisoners for re
pairing roads.

OFFICIALS FAVOR
GRAPE GROWING
B. W. Douglas Points Out Reason
for Cultivation.
VINEYARDS NOT CARED FOR
Entonnoloslst Cannot Understand Why
Housewife Pays 35 Cents 6as-
ket for Grapes When the Farm
er Can Raise the Fruit.

Indianapolis the Indiana
housewife just completing her fall
making OF grape Jelly. grape mar
malade. and slowing away in the Gel
lar her bottle OF choice homemade
grape wine or unfermented grape
juice all made from grapes for which
she has paid 35 cents a basket of five
pounds OF grape and a pound OF
basket. ID. w. Douglass. state en-
tomologist. is at loss TO understand
why the enterprising Indiana farmer
or fruit grower has not had his share
OF the money the housewives have
expended willingly for the raw mate
rial.
There is no soil reason and no
climatic reason why Indiana should
not grow grapes for Indiana consum-
ers. according TO Mr.. Douglass. who
has included in his annual report a
large number OF pages devoted TO
grape culture With the same atten-
tion given To grape growing. as lie
given TO growing corn. wheat. or
oats. Mr.. Douglass contends. as in the
case OF the apple. that the Indiana
land owner can realize large profits
from vineyards properly cared for
In his examination OF the vineyards
OF the state In preparation for his re
port. Mr Douglass found that few
landowners. save In parts OF the
southern districts OF the state. give
any great amount of attention TO
grape growing True. virtually every
farmer has a small era arbor which
supplies a few grapes for home use.
but very few OF them have attempted
to grow grapes either for market or
for wine making.
Mr.. Douglass advocates making
grape wine. saying that he is inclined
10 agree somewhat with a German OF
his acquaintance. who says that a
high tax ought to be placed on beer
and whisky and a small tax. II any. on
grape wine. as a means OF reducing
drunkenness.
The first attempt at grape culture
in Indiana. Mr.. Douglass found. was
made by a colony OF Swiss in Switzer-
land county. European varieties
were attempted. but the effort failed.
as has every similar attempt made
since In 1870 IL was found that Eu-
ropean vines In America were at
tackled BY an insect known as the
grape phylloxera. which killed the
European varieties. Attention was
then turned TO grating on native
American roots. with the result that
hardy varieties we're obtained which
withstood the ravages OF the insect.
On these gratis has been built up
the American grape industry.
