Benefit OF IMPROVED ROAD
Among Many other Things 1t Attracts
Investors Looking for Advan-
tace6us Locations.

A long suetch OF improved road is
one of the best advertisements a state
can have. Il attracts class of tour
lists who arc able and willing to pay
for entertainment. II brings investors
who are looking for advantageous To-
cations. II includes agricultural inves-
tigation ard consequent immigration
and investment, not only along the line
of the road. but in other accessible
sections. II changes. by. the sheer
force of publicity, backward localities
into progressive ones: enhances val
ues. and brings into general notice re-
sources when had only been known
locally; or. IL known, not appreciated.
The advantages which such stretches
OF main roads cause to accrue are ad-
vantages which affect the entire state,
as well as the localities themselves
II should, therefore. be assumed as a
principle that such main roads should
be built, in whole or in part, by the
state; that their management and
maintenance should be In the hands
OF the state authorities.

its praises in every land and cline,

love. 1t was the practical Anglo.
SaXon who took the poetry all out
of the beautiful name of Fragaria and
named it strawberry, because of the
custom of placing straw under the
vines to raise the berries from the
soil. Others say it is the tiny straw
n the berry which gives it its name.
However that may be. a ctrawberry by
any other name would taste as sweet.
Physicians concur in placing straw
berries in their catalogue of pleasant
remedies.
The wild strawberry, picked in the
open field. where it has absorbed the
suns rays and developed its sweet
juiciness, has flavor unexcelled by
the choicest cultivated berry.
There are some unfortunate individ-
uals who are unable to eat this berry
is not fully explained, says Thompson,
for the analysis Of the berry fails to
show any product which is peculiar to
itself" There must be some combi-
nation of acids or other materials eX-
isting in this berry which is excep-
tionally irritating to some persons"
1t may be that they (the pcrsons)
have a digestive acid which combines
with the vegetable acid in some chem
ical change which causes the disturb
ance.
The strawberry contains an abun-
dance of salts of potash, lime and
soda which acts upon the body secre-
tions benefcially.
The addition of n dash of red pepper
or pinch of soda to berries for
people who have a personal idiosyn-
cracv against them will help some to
digest them without trouble. Lemon
juice is another aid to some, and for

REMEDY FOR WOOLLY APHIS
Finely Powdered Tobacco or Waste

tBy +. II. HILLMAN)
Some effective remedies for tho
woolly aphis are as follows:
For the apple root form. which
causes knots or swellings on the small
er roots-remove the earth, three or
four inches of soil, about the crown
for a distance of two TO four feet from
the tree and sprinkle in four to six
pounds of finely powdered tobacco.
Waste tobacco stems, which can be
purchased very cheaply, can be used
in place of powdered tobacco.
Natural enemies do far more than
is generally supposed toward reducing
the nurlber of aphids. but in dry
season, especially. nature must be as

improved, while in the later group OF
states there are only 1l2 per cent OF
the roads improved.
That improved roads would benefit
our country school system there would
seem to be no doubt Improved roads
make II possible to consolidate or cen.
tralize the schools and to establish
graded schools in the rural districts.
Such schools centrally located will ac-
commodate all Of the children within
radius OF from -four to five miles. In
many communities having the advan.
tage of improved roads commodious
buildings have been provided, more
competent teachers have been EN-,
ployed, and modern facilities for teach
ing have been supplied at minimum
cost. For instance. since the improve.
ment Of the main highways in Durham
county. North Carolina, the number OF
school houses has been reduced from
e5 to 42. of which II are graded and
have two or more rooms and employ
two or more teachers.
There are at the present time about
two thousand consolidated rural
schools in the United States. II ap-
pears that Massachusetts, Ohio and
Indiana have made the greatest prog.
ress along these lines, and 1t is rather
significant 10 note that in these states
about one-third Of the roads have been
improved. According to statistics Of
the agricultural department there was
expended in 1899, s22,116 in Massachc-
setts for the conveyance of pupils to
consolidated schools. but in 1908 the
expenditure for this purpose amounted
to $292,2l3 In Indiana the expendi.
ture for this purpose In 1904 amounted
&c $4,000, while in 1908. s290.000 was
expended. This expenditure for trans
portation reflects, in a general way,
the extent and progress of this new
educational movement II must not be
understood that this is an additional
burden. as tie expenditure thus made
is saved in ether directions.
