INDIA WHEAT CROP SMALLER.

The first wheat forecast for India
shows a decrease of about four pei
cent in acreage, according to Consul
James Oliver Laing, who is stationed
at Karachi. This is contrary to ex.
pectatiOns, as it was believed earlier
in the year that the wheat area would
be greatly expanded. This belief
was based on the fact that great
quantities of food grains would be
needed by Great Britain and also on
the probable decrease in cotton acre.
age. The failure of the monsoon in
parts of the Punjab, Sind, Ralph,
tana, the United Provinces, Gujarat
and the Northwest Frontier prov,
ince, however, cut down the sown
area. The total area under wheat
this year is estimated at 27,604,OOO
acres, against 28,852,OOO acres last
year. This is a decrease of 1,248,OOC
acres.

Pratt, mule driver in Consolidate /
Coal company's mine in Letcher
county, for injuries caused by the
kick of a mule, which he struck with
a whip while STOPPING behind it to
pick up chain, was reversed by the
court of appeals, which said the
kicking propensity of a mule is a
matter Of common knowledge" not
withstanding the fact that Pratt had
worked on a farm and never driven
anything but oxen.
The court said the mule would have
been untrue to itself and false to
every tradition of its breed if it had
kept its heels on the ground" and an
"employe cannot court danger by in
viting mule to kick him and then
recover for consequent injur e."

SURFACED ROADS IN COUNTRY

souri, Brings Up the Rear.

There are 2,273,OOO miles of roads in
the United States, of which 247 400
miles, or 1913 per cent, are surfaced.
OF surfaced roads Ohio has 2S,312
miles; Indiana, 26SS1; New York. 22.-

chusetts, S,92S; Michigan, $3.50, and
Missouri, 5000 miles.
In 1914 6,SO5 state and state-aid
roads were built, and 39,9SS miles
were maintained with state aid. The
total mileage of state and state-aid
roads built in the whole country up

miles of really good road in all the
As states. The trouble with highway
construction is that often waste and
graft get together.
The association has been doing some
market figuring, and it finds that 49,
900 miles Of real highway, around the
centers Of population, would reduce
the cost of living as well as add to
the enjoyment of living. A system is
proposed whereby each of the states
could undertake the construction Of
500 or 500 miles of highway each year
Thus in twelve years or so, with the
10000 miles of road already improved,
the nation would possess the nucleus
of fine market system. These roads,
radiating from the centers of consump-
ton, could easily be connected with
the trunk highways that are now being
constructed in all parts Of the coun-
try, largely as a result of the activity
of motor clubs.
Concentration in Washington might
mean unity and coordination, but it
would also mean increased appropria-
lions. The work belongs to the states.
1t was not, says the highway associa-
ton, until 1891, that the state of New
Jersey took the initiative, and three
years later established a department
of public roads. Since then other
states have followed in form, but hard
ly in spirit. The association places In
diana in the list of lazy common
wealths. For all the fine gravel roads
it possessed a few years ago, Indiana
can. apparently, no longer be regarded
as a leader in highway Improvement.
If this is true, it is time that some
thing were done.-Indianapol News.

GOOD ROADS ARE NEGLECTED

miles of public road in the United
States. The annual expenditure for
construction and maintenance amounts
to $260,000,0O0. Yet inadequate results
are found everywhere. This is due to
the lack of continuity of purpose, the
lack OF CO ordination II management.
and the general lack of control. OF
the 2,250,000 miles Of roadway, less
than 10 per cent is really improved.
