Col. Norris thought of the following

posed roadway to heat the glass.
When it became heated almost to
the melting point, cold water was
dashed on it, shattering the glass to
small fragments. This ingenius
process was repeated until a road

fifth of mile along the base of the

GREAT NEED OF A
MERCHANT MARINE

When our great civil war came
the tonnage of the ships Of the Unit
ed States exceeded that of any other
power, including Great Britain.
Four yesrs later it had been swept
away, either through the privateers
fitted out in England orsby transfers
to foreign flags.
In those four years, too, the mat
erial for building ships had been
changed from wood to steel and the
compound marine engine had SO re-
duced the bulk and cost of fuel for
ships, that even cheap products were
carried in steamships and the wood
en- sail ship had become almost OBJ
solete.
Great Britain took her old place
as the commanding power on the
ocean and has maintained it though
in the meantime Germany had be-
come a strong rival.
In the meantime, too, the congress
of the United States has refused to
take one step toward restoring our
ocean prestige, though it has looked
on and seen our country pay to for
eign ships in fares and freight {
steadily increasing sum until it nov
reaches 5000, 600. 900 per annum. Ii

IMPROVED ROADS
BENEFITS FARMING
They Materially Decrease the Cost Of Transpor-
tation and Increase the Output of Agricult-
ural and Dairy Products.

That an improved road will in
crease vastly the productiveness Of
the area thru which it runs has now
been satisfactorily demonstrated by
studies conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
Virginia. Conditions in Spotsylvan-
ia county were Investigated with
particular care, and the results have
proved surprising. In 1908 the
county voted 800, 900 to improve
40 miles of roads. Two years after
the completion of this work the
railroad took away in 13 months
from Fredericksburg, the county
seat, II, 900 tons of agricultural and
forest products hauled over the
highways to that town. Before the
improvement of the roads this total
was only $4,000 tons annually; in
other words. the quantity of the
country's produce has risen more
than 45 per cent. Still more inter-
est, however, is the increase shown
in the quantity of dairy products.
In 1909 these amounted to 114,815
pounds, in 1911 to 273,O28 pounds,
an increase of practically 140 pei
cent in two years. In the same
time shipments Of wheat had in.
creased So per cent, tobacco 81 pei
cent and lumber and other forest
products 48 per cent.
In addition to this increase ii
quantity the cost of hauling eacE
ton of produce was materially re
duced. In other words, the farmers
not only produce more, but produc'
more cheaply, for the cost of trans
portation to market is of course al
important factor in the cost of pro
duction.. From this point of viev
it is estimated that the 800, ,00l
spent in improving the roads il
Spotsylvania county saved the farm
ers of that county SAL 900 a year.
