REIMBURSEMENT.
Senator Dillingham;
Rutland Herald)

William Paul Dillingham; is senator
who does things that should be done, and
does them we'll. His introduction in the
Senate yesterday of bill which, if it be-
comes a law, will materially reduce i'm
migration from Southern and Eastern
Europe and Western Asia, is case in
point. As chairman of the former Immi-
grafton Commission, Senator Dilling-
ham showed that he had mastered the
immigration question, which is one of
those now pressing for settlement
Ever since Mr. Dillingham; went to
Washington, II years ago, he has been
known as one of the strong men ia the
Senate. He is honest, he is capable he
is fearless. and he is industrious. This
is the universal testimony of those who
are familiar with his record at the nation
al capital. A man of keen intelligence,
his ability is matched by his devotion TO
the public service.
Vermont has reason to be proud of
Senator Dillingham;. Her influence at
Washington-an influence out of all pro-
portion to her population-has been
maintained through the policy of sending
senators who showed that they had su-
perior qualifications back to the Senate
when their terms expired. There s4hld |
be no change in policy now.
Mr. Dillingham;, who was elected Unied |
States senator in 1900 to fill the vacaicy |
caused by the death of Justin y. 'MtoorfTfi, I
and who has served continuously since |
y, 1T time, should be reelected next year. |
HIS services are worth more today than |
ever before. Vermont owes it not only |
to herself, but to the country to do her |
share toward keeping in the Senate the |
able and experienced men who have
shown that they have souLd and COnser
vative notions concerning constitutional
government. There was never greater
need of such men at Washington than
there is at this time.

ling experience, which would be a severe

been for the GOODNESS and presence of mind
OF Mrs. Foegely, who cleverly diverted his

shock of her recent experience Here is the

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS
NarroW-Tired Wagon Is Most
Destructive Agent.
Highways Also Have Been Ruined by
Wrong Method of Worklng-Dif-
ferent System of Supervision
Is Advocated.

Good country roads are ruined in
many ways, some of which must be
laid at the doors of the officials in
charge, and some we can only hold
the farmers themselves responsible
for. Good roads are ruined by wealth
er, water and wanton neglect. Man
is the chief destructive agent and we
must pay some attention to him and
his ways, says the Western Farmer.
Any good dirt road can be ruined in
| short time by hauling heavy loads
| over it in narrow tired wagons. The
| common one and three-fourth-inch tire
| does more harm to country roads
than any other destructive agent We
wonder why the farmers will continue
buying these wheels when a broad
tire-say four-inch-will make rather
than destroy good roads. The broad
tired wagon pulls easier and that
should be sufficient reason why the
change should be made
1t seems a waste of money to make
dirt road hard and smooth, dragged
at the proper time and all that, and
then have a lot of men haul big loads
of grain, hay, wood or what not over
It just after rain and their narrow
tires cutting away in. OF course they
all keep in the one track so each sue
ceeding tire cuts a little deeper. If
another rain comes before the ruts are
dragged full then the whole road goes
to pieces. There should be a tax or
some legal penalty against the narrow
tired wagon We are not pleading for
low wheels, though we believe in
them, too, but we do urge every one
to buy wide tires. The old wheels
can be made over and wide tires put
on at a slight cost.
Roads have been ruined by the mile |
by the wrong method of working. |
The old system of working out the |
road tax under a supervisor or road |
boss is wrong 1t never yet has made |
a good stretch of road. 1t never will.
The practice of tearing up the road
in the fall after harvest-because
that's the only time he can get farm
ers to work-plowirg the sodded sides
up and scalping the whole conglomera-
ton of sods, stones and clods into the
middle of the road is the worst system
that ever can be practiced. The sea-
son is wrong, the system is wrong
and the road is bad all winter and
next spring.
Who has not seen brush piled in
soft places, gravel dumped in mud
holes, and even sand put in chuck
holes by these road bosses? It's a
sure way to make a bad road worse
Who has not seen dense groves of tall
willows pile the road full of snow
which made 9 mud hole exist there
for weeks after the rest of the road
was dry? What is the remedy? A
different system of road supervision.
Remove the Office from politics, get
men who have studied or will study
'oad building and keep them as long
Is they are efficient. Pay road tax
n cash and let this skilled road boss
lire his men He should keep the
same men all the time. They become
more efficient all the time

FOR MORE IMPROVED ROADS
Much Valuable Assistance Rendered
by Office of Public Roads-Per-
ishabIe Products Wasted.

Many of the model highway laws in
der the advice of the road experts of
the department of agriculture, and
all the data and statistics of the office
of public roads are at the disposal of
the legislatures.
In the last bulletin of the Office of
public roads it was stated that at the
close of 1909, $50 per cent. of the
roads in the United States were i'm
proved. This represents gain in the
total road mileage improved for the
five-year period, 1904-1909, of 152 per
cent, or, in other words, the per
centage of improved roads has in
creased during this period from TIA
to S.66 per cent.
In the three years that have elapsed
since then, it is roughly estimated
that the percentage of improved roads
has gone well beyond 9 per cent, and
possibly close to 10 per cent. 1t is
estimated that if 20 per cent sf the
public highways were improved
each highway being selected and i'm
proved with a view to the proportion
ate traffic upon it-a high degree Of
efficiency in highway transportation
would be reached. 1t is figured that
millions of dollars would be saved an
nually in the transportation of crops,
the wear and tear on horses and We
hicles. and in the minimizing of the
waste in truck farming. Where roads
are bad. the farmers frequently find it
to get their products TO
the shipping points and thus perish
able products are wasted, perceptibly
Increasing the cost OF living.

ing as applied to a corn crop in the growing season.
 If you lay off your rows h e and a half feet apart and plant the corn in the drill 12 inches apart, you will have a soil sur face to support each stalk ex- tending from the stalk to the middle of the row. on each side. or 21 inches each side, making a total of 42 inches, and the width of this strip would be 6 inches each way between the stalks, or a total width of 12 inches. Multiply the 42 by the 12 and it makes a surface of 504 inches to each stalk on which the winter rains fall. If you break your land i inches deep you will have in cubic inches 4 times 504 or 2016 cubic inches of loose soil to catch the rain and hold the moisture to feed each stalk of corn. Now suppose you should break your land 8 inches deep. You would have 4032 cubic inches of loose soil to hold moisture. Not only that. but you would have the same proportion of loose soil in which plant food would be made available, by being released and areated, and by having moisture to take up the plant food and convey it to the roots of theplants. There would also be the increased proportion of loose soil for the feeder roots to make their way in search of plant food. Then isn't cit reasonable to suppose that the growth of the crop would be better and the yield greater without any additional labor or cost in cultivating the crop?
 This example will apply to any other crop as we'll as corn. How ever, it is not best to break your land too deep. Do not break your ground more than 2 inches deeper than you did the last time, unless you use a disk blow and thoroughly mix the soil. If you desire to go deeper it will be al- right to subsoil, and in fact sub-

Weekly Letter of John H. Page, Commissioner Mines, Manufac-
 lures and Agriculture.

Fall blowing and deep tillage are important factors in the growing of good crops. The bad weather that has prevailed this fall has delayed the gathering of the cotton and the corn crops, and of course the farmers cannot break the ground for the next crop until the present one is gathered, hence many farmers will be prevented from breaking their land, or a part of it, until after the first of January.
 However, those who can should break all the land they can with out delay. By fall breaking a greater amount of green stuff and vegetation will be turned under, and humus added to the soil. By adding humus you get more organic matter into the soil and it becomes enriched and ot- herwise improved thereby. The vegetable matter turned will de- cay and have a beneficial effect on the soil. No soil will last and continue to make good crops without organic matter. Turn ing under the weeds, grass and stalks will not meet every pur. pose but it will go a long ways to- wards maintaining the product iyeness of the soil.
 Deep tillage serves another purpose. It gives a better seed bed and more :loose soil to hold the moisture next year while the crop is growing, and also goes long way in preventing washing. If soil is plowed shallow the soft pu,verized dirt or top soil will easily wash away. If plowed deep the rainfall will be absorbed to the full depth and the washing will be lessened. Let us take an example of the difference be- tween shallow and deep break
