' e- sss . - sive plan for construction he did not give this fact out until last week.
 He will begin by clearing he entire right Of way and getting 1T Into condi- ton. following northward with the r,,sd This first road will be built 91 fec II de of macadam made from crushed stone and covered with asphalt. Some place. the road will run along one side of he Tight of way and at others along the other. this to suit the convens snee of shaping the 2oo-foot strip or ground p'iih- out delaying construction.
 | Though one road will be pushed through from one end Of the state to Inc other, the other roads, or at least two other roeds will he built soon afterwAri IS possible. It is estimated that the nrst road can be completed within two and one-half years.
 No Speed Limit
 The second road will be the great hig.1 epeed automobile road, which will be in the center of the right of way and be 70 feet wide It will be built of practicall. the same material az the first road but will he broader and every effort will be made to make so perfect a roadbed that there will be no small depressions It will be great race course from the Top of the state to the bottom, and pn it rna- chimes do their best without fear ol the law
 The third road will be built along tns outside of the right of way. g feet 'tid It will be built of dirt, underlaid witt conduits. sewers and tile so that it wi be perfectly dry at all tlp.es. The ethaf two roads will be duplicates of The frs road and the dirt road mentioned They will be on the opposite side of the .lgit lof way. Room is to be reserved on esch I side of the automobile road for trolley track and a row of trees are to be set along both edges of the right of way, making four rows along the boulevard
 The greatest Of all General duPont's propositions Is the establishment of an ex- pertinent station eV-ry ten miles along the entire length of the boulevard In these stations. ten in number graduates of agricultural colleges will conduct ex- periments for the benefit of the farmers along the way.
 To Aid Agriculture | Tn this connection MT duPont said. Tt is my intention to open up ihis fer tile territory. Tie farmers here have been behind times because they had no chance to be otherwise.
 | When you pass through this country you see the best farming, and especiallv the best fruit and trucking country in ihe east vet there ls little use made of fl beyond radius of five miles from inc towns, because there are no roads. With good roads and the experiment stations to lead the farmers into scientific and intensive methods Of farming you will see these counties take jump"
 l Oranges will be organized 10 meet reg ularly at the experiment stations These organizations will be composed of the farmers for a radius of five miles on alt sides of the experiment stations. The sta tions will be supported by the income from the right of way Since only ihiee roads are 10 be built fin the .ery near future there will be left a strip Of ground ten miles long and go feet wide for each ] of the stations. General duPont tisuks this ground will support each station tnil. some compepy has seen it to buli1 tho interurban and iben the royaJfies from | this will be applied to the main.ena1ce of the experiment work.
 | The agriculturists will have fl borse barns and building jn which 10 conduct different kinds of experiments. Theye buildings are to be erected on . spali tract of land purchased just on the side
