have these qualities. but be reasonable
in initial cost and above all in main
tenance.
MANY OF the present generation will
remember the phrase. Electricity Is
only in its infancy" says Mr.. Nathan
"Well. today the road board is in its

With the crops practically housed
end only the remnants to be gathered.
there is now nothing to do but to flX
up things generally and commence op-
erations for next years crop. One
good way to begin is TO SOW rye,
wherever possible. for grazing in the
spring and for soil Improvement. We
want 10 plan TO make larger yields
per acre next year than We made
this year, or last year either. The
su.est way TO do this is to do better
farming. Rye will hold much fertility
that would be leached out of the soil
by the winter rains and lost 10 us If
there were no living plants to take 1t
up. And when plowed under next
spring. rye will give 10 the land. In
addition to the stored fertility, humus
which NEST of our lands stand 50
much in need of. 1t is late. OF course,
to SOW rye. hut this Is one of the
things about which IL can he truth

q ROAD WASTE.

The appropriations made by
the different states for improved
roads have been wasted to a
very large extent. New York
has built about $50 miles of i'm
proved highways, Pennsylvania
perhaps ono third as much. And
neither state nor any other SO
far as we know has made proper
provision fer thoir maintenance.
Here is where the waste comes
in. More millions will be vast
ed unleos some plan Of keeping
state roads in repair is put into
operation soon. no sense in
building costly roads and then
letting them go 20 pieces for the
want of attention at the right
time.
