The question whether Pennsyl-
vania is to make substantial progress
in highway construction will be
squarely up to the Legislature that
is to assemble in Harrisburg early
next month. All parties stand
pledged to good roads. The wide
spread popular demand for real high
way improvement is unquestioned
The coming legislature will have no
more important business than this
The general disposition among mem
bers of the Senate and House is to
approve the proposition to amend the
Constitution to permit of an issue of
$50, 100000 of bonds for road con-
struction. This was unanimously en-
dorsed by the 1911 Legislature, and
if approved in the coming session can
be submitted to the people for final
action in 1913.
OF all the uncertain crops, mush-
rooms probably stand at the head
While they will sometimes grow of
their own accord, apparently as easy
as weeds, they often refuse to grow
under the best conditions. This is
why they usually sell at a price that
seems high; if they could be grown
as cheaply as potatoes they would
not sell for any more. While mush-
rooms are not particular where they
grow, when you consider that they
need a temperature of between 80
and 60 degrees, a moist air where
the ventilation is good and where
there are no drafts, and that there
should be water under or dripping
on to the beds, and that there must
be no rats in the sheds or cellars, you
can get some idea that it is neces-
sary to have a place where you can
not only heat and keep the cold out
in winter, but also keep the heat out
in spring and summer.-Farm and
Home.
