THE FARMERS AND ROADS

TNHE roads committee of the State
Board of Agriculture favors a
= "pay-as-you-go policy" with re-
spect to highway construction
in Pennsylvania. 1t would be of little
use to favor any other method at this
time. Direct appropriation is the only
means left for the procurement of
money with which to carry on the
good roads program mapped out by
previous Legislatures. The farmers
of the State turned down the $50,000,-
600 road loan project two years ago,
bv which the people of the cities and
the corporations of Pennsylvania
would have footed the bulk of the
highway building bills. Under that
plan the agricultural districts would
have got their good roads with
would have none of it and even if
they were now of another mind it
would require about five years at least
to make a road loan available.
The farmers have gone on record
for a ''pay-as-you-go" policy and they
things-either to wait until the States
revenues are sufficient to warrant the
kind of road building appropria-
tion the rural districts demand or they
must face a special tax for the pur-
pose. There is scarcely any other i'm
mediate way out of the difficulty into
which the farmers themselves have
plunged the Commonwealth.
The farmers want roads, but they
do not want to be taxed for them.
The States revenues promise to be
less during the next two years than
during the past two years by at least
sS,OOO,00O. Those who have formu-
lated the good roads report will find
that their ideas are more high sound
ing than practical.

THE passing of the dividends on
common stock yesterday by the
i United States Steel Corporation,
while none too pleasant an oc-
currence in the financial world, should
not be taken very seriously Failure
to declare a dividend is the natural
effect of the period of depression
through which the steel industry has
recently passed. 1t reflects more of
past conditions than either the pres
ent or the future.
The same newspaper dispatches
that announced this action of the
Steel Corporation directors also gave
prominent mention to the fact that
every man in the employ of the Pitts
burgh Steel Company at CharIeroi
and Monessen during the period of
its prosperity have been ordered to
return to work. Every department
in the company's extensive plant has
been placed in full operation and
$500 men who have had no work for
some time are back in the mills at
their old positions.
The same depression estimated the
payroll at Pittsburgh for the past
week to have been the largest in more
than six months, and that industrial
conditions there are rapidly improv-
ing.
Nearer at hand, in Steelton, the
same encouraging state of affairs ex-
lists. More men are at work than at
any time during the past year, and
prospects are bright. The Steel Cor
poration itself is looking forward with
optimism toward the coming year and
the next quarter will see the dividend
on common stock restored.

THE NEW NAMES
BY Wing DIDger

Seems to me that Minnie, Maggie
Are strange names with which to
crown
Permanently the streets" and alleys
Here and there throughout the town
And there's danger that some trouble
VIII result, so I should say.
On the part of some poor stranger,
Who perhaps has lost his way.
Just suppose the street he's seeking
Is named "Maggie"-for advice
He detains a lady passing,
And in manner very nice
Says, beg pardon, is this Maggie"
Can you picture the result
Cop is called, the man arrested
Docket reads-"Public insult"
- Speaking of streets, they tell me
that in Boston Summer street runs into
Winter and Water street into Milk. But
then Boston is always so fearfully cor
rect.

next year she came back with 1877 and
repeated with 10S. In her fourth year
she fell down to 70, yet in her sixth
year she laid as many as she had
when pullet. 1t is question wheth-
er it paid to keep this hen after her
third year, but such records are nee
essary in order to learn definitely
about such things.
The cost of renewing the flock is
considered one of the greatest draw
backs to the poultry industry, the
authors estimating the cost of pull
let-probably up to laying age-at
from so to 60 cents. The average pro-
ductive life of hens cannot be esti-
mated at this stage of their work, but
for the strain used in their studies
was thought to be about four years.
The range Of individual egg produc-
ton in their flocks was found to be
from 100 to $50 in the first year, from
los to 14O in the second year and from
100 to 1870 in the third year. After
the third year the production re-
manned fairly constant at about 80,
with variation of not more than 10
or is eggs per year.

The Nampa highway district to provide
gravel, usually donated by those who
have it, pay the shovelers and man
to help dump the loads and also spread
and smooth the gravel on the road
bed, using for this purpose a King
drag. The freshly graveled roadbed
should be smoothed with King drag
or other implement weekly for two
months or until settled and cemented
with the underlying soil Four inches
of gravel in the middle of the roadbed
with two inches on the sides most
readily mixes with the underlying soil
in such proportions as to shed rain
and form a smooth, solid bed. Heavy
traffic cuts through the gravel in wet
weather until enough underlying soil
has been mixed and cemented with
the gravel to shed rain and create a
solid roadbed.
A moderate percentage of clay soil
mixed with the gravel as applied will
pack and cement from the beginning.
The clay gravel banks along the re-
clamation bitches piled by the dredges
supply ideal material for graveling our
roads. This mixture of clay, sand
and gravel packs from the very first
and does not need underlying soil cut
in by heavy traffic. Coarse gravel,
free from clay or soil, will need an ad-
mixture of soil from below to secure a
hard, smooth roadbed. Orchard ave

Its success from the start has been

One Reason Why Food Prices Are

Nearly every one of the state legis-

more help for road building, says st.
Joseph News-Press. Ten years ago
all the states together put up. but
s2,000,000 for road building, exclusive
of local funds. In 1914 they spent
$43, 100000. But as four-ffths Of this
was done by six eastern states and
two Pacific coast states, the problem
is far from solved nationally. Many
of our big problems always come back
to the cost-of-living question.
