How MANY MILES OF
ROADS HAVE We GOT?

Of the counties for their road sys-
TENS.
As there are approximately 5000
counties in the United States, IN
many Of which the mileage has never
even been estimated, it is hardly
probable that this preliminary sur
vey will be exact. The Department,
however will be able to detect any
excessively inaccurate reports for the
road mileage per square mile of ter
ritory does not vary excessively. Ex-
cept in desert or undeveloped coun-
try less than half a mile Of publ,

Is rare, while in the most thiekly
populated rural sections the maxi
mum is no more than Pc or miles.
Thus, in France, there is an average
for the entire country Of l.76 to a
square mile. In Italy. however, this
has fallen 10 sc. possibly on accoun.

Of the peninsula and Of Sicily and
Sardinia.
In America the average is ap-
proxinately so miles, which, in view

is sparsely settled, seem. unduly high.
An explanation, however, is to be
found in the fact that in many states
the law provides that each section
line shall he public road Thus,
for example. there are in the State 0.
Iowa alone more than 104, 900 miles Of
legal highways, ulanifestly a mucn
larger mileage than is required by
trafic.
When the information in regard to
the existing roads which the Depart
n1ent is now seeking is complete, it is
the intention to continue the inquiry
year after year in order to ascertain
the durability and economy of the
various kinds of highways. The
data thus collected should he useful
to road engineers all over the coun-
try and ii is hoped that county agents
and others interested in Improvement
Of agriculture will do their best to
facilitate the collection Of the desired
information.

CORRECT LENGTH
FOR The LEADERS
MAINE Woods. !


Leaders sold in the tackle houses, IN
fortunately for the anglers, are generally
in lengths Of three feet or q multiple of
that length, three, six and nine nine
foot leader is a very announcement length
10 use on a nine-foot single-handed rod,
and rods Of nine feet are those most
usually suggested for trout fishing over
clear streams. according to an article
recently published in Recreation. When
two or three flies are used, q six-foot
leader is TOO short About the proper
length Of leader for a nine-foot rod is
eight feet. Let us see how We can get
around this little difficulty and always
have a leader in proper proportion to the
length Of the rod.
For any rod. # you have your leaders
tied TO order, make sure that their lengtt
is little less than the distance from the
ring Of the tip to the reel. But if you
buy your leaders in six-foot lengths, tie
up for yourself, or have tied UP. some
extra lengths Of stout gut about two feet
long for a nine-foot rod. Loop these
links into the upper end of your six-foot
leaders. If the rod is 10 feet in length
you can purchase heavy three-foot lead
ers to loop to your six-foot lengths and
thus make leaders of nine feet. Of
course you can buy nine-foot leaders,
but you will find that heavy links OF
stout gut will outlast three or more of
the finer leaders that must be used for
work over clear, low streams. Thus by
having few two-foot links Of stout gut
for nine-foot rod or similar stout gut
links Of three feet for a 1o-foot rod, you
can always use a leader of the correct
length

Clergyman Gives impetus to Potato
Breeding in United States.
One of the first serious attempts at
potato breeding in the United States
was made by a clergyman of Utica, N
Y, who introduced the progenitor Of
the world famous potato. Early Rose.
This gentleman. the Rev. c. E. Good
rich. was furnished incentive for his
effort by a widespread potato blight
both in this country and abroad in the
early forties. MIR. Goodrich secured a
number Of promising South American
varieties by which he hoped to re-
store the vigor TO the North American
potato whose vines and tubers had be-
come very susceptible to the disease.
The importance Of this clergyman
work lies not so much in the new va
rieties introduced as in the impetus

efforts Of those who followed him
