IF THERE are any who imagine we
have sufficient laws and some to spare,
they will find the answer in the new
session laws, which contain 679 new
chapters. The 1915 session helped along
suffering humanity with 635 new chap
tiers, so the recent session went them
d chapters better. Many of the 1917
laws are lengthy, also, so the news
paper law supplement contains 81 more
pages of fine print than they did two
years ago, and increase of rs per cent.
BY reading about half page of the
session laws daily, person should be
able to finish the volume in about sew
enteen months, just in time for the
next legislature to meet, and then ne
could start all over again on the 1919
enactments, which will probably be
still larger and more numerous than
ever. Putting the revised statutes OF
the state in close company with l33
legislators always means that some
radical changes are going to come TO
the statutes.

The Havana Seed tobacco of the
county has been topped as well as the
Broadleaf first planted. The growers
who planted it have taken big risks in
putting it in as early as they did. Not
in many years has Lancaster county
crop presented as promising an appear
ance at this stage of its growth, a fact
largely due to the superior quality OF
the plants, which were unusually well
developed when transferred to the field
from the seed bed and the generally
favorable weather conditions that have
prevailed since the planting of the
crop. The cut-worm pest is now a
thing of the past, the plants being too
large to be harmed even if the pests
themselves were about any longer.
Around Lititz considerable tobacco
was damaged by hail when the plants
were younger, but they still have suf-
ficient time for developing and recover
ing from the threshing given them by
the hail More serious, generally, was
the lack of attention given the crop,
due to the backward hay and wheat
crops, the latter fully two weeks late.
With 5000 acres of tobacco, several
thousand more than the United States
Department of Agriculture credited to
this county, at least $4,000 cases will
be the yield of this years crop. 1t
was feared that the county was get
ting more rain than was good for the
tobacco, resulting in thin leaf, but
this fear has no good base so far. The
farmers still complain of shortness of
help and the high wages demanded by
the Indifferent help they can secure.

EVEN if the manufacture of grain al
cohol from foodstuffs is prohibited by
congress it will still be possible to get
the same kind of alcohol. AS result
of experiments carried on at the For
est Products laboratory, the plan for
making alcohol from sawdust has been
so perfected as to be commercially pos
sible. The alcohol that is made OF
sawdust is the same as that made from
molasses, corn and other grains. Two
large factories are now manufacturing
alcohol from sawdust, one at George
town, N. c., and the other at Fuller
ton, La. Extensive experiments with
ethyl (grain) alcohol were made at the
Forest Products laboratory at Madison
by F. w. FRESHMAN. The plant at
Georgetown has been purchased by the
Du POnt Powder company and report
a few days ago indicates that the pro-
duction is upwards of trainload day.
The Fullerton plant is being operated
with success. Of course if we COM
pare yield of 20 gallons to ton OF
wood to 80 gallons per ton from corn,
we see that the amount of material
handled in certain parts of the plant
producing alcohol from wood will be
four times as great as in the grain dis
tillery of equal capacity, thereby in
creasing the size of the plant and oper-
ating costs.

NEW YORK, July 81, 1917.

The raid of the packers upon the to-
bacco fields of New England, contract
ing for the 1917 crop at prices hitherto
unheard of, was discussed in last
weeks issue of The Tobacco Leaf.
This week the buying movement has
extended to Wisconsin and New York
state. In the latter state it is said
that though as high as twenty cents a
pound was offered, the farmers refused
to sell. In Wisconsin about IS per
cent of the crop is under contract, at
prices ranging from Is to Is cents.
Efforts to contract for the Pennsylva-
MIA crop failed, it is said, because the
farmers refused to put any price upon
their crops. These facts are more sig
nifcant of the situation that will con-
front our cigar manufacturers when
this tobacco comes upon the market
than any amount of exposition or dis
cussion. The prices paid the farmers
are more than the manufacturers gen.
orally pay for the packed tobacco. =

THE state of Wisconsin will see to it
that the dependent of the soldiers are
well cared for during the time of the
soldiers enlistment. Special state aid
will be given in each instance. The
amount of such aid provided by law
shall be such that, together with the
income of the dependent or Dope ndents
derived from other sources, except such
as may be contributed from the ser
vice of the enlisted man, shall amount
to $50 for one dependent, $40 for two
dependents, $50 for three dependents,
and SIS for fourth and each additional
dependent. Those who are dependent
upon any soldier for support and who
desire aid under this law, should adj
dress their applications to the Adju-
tant-General at Madison. Proper
blanks will then be forwarded to them,
and on investigation as to the facts al
legged in each case, the aid will be

The export trade of the country has

There are those who express surprise
that the increase was not greater, but
they forget that while war stimulates

EVERY person knows the law just as
we'll as every person knows what the
future has in store for him. Ignorance
of statutory law ought to be badge
of great learning, because familiarity
with it precludes the possibility OF
knowing anything else. On the top OF
all we had, the recently evaporated
body that makes laws has piled be-
tween six and seven hundred others,
many of which deal with such impor-
tant subjects as muskrats and bull
frogs. Our bullfrog laws seem to go
out of fashion about every two years.
We can only conjecture why. 1t is
probably because we fail to send to the
legislature men sufficiently versed in
frog lore to devise suitable rules for
curtaiiing the activities of street ur
chins who devote the major part OF
their time to catching frogs. Our game
laws take up more legislative time than
any other thing our Legislators are call
ed upon to deal with. Not one has
ever been able to stand the test of
more than two-year trial. Reasonable
and simple game laws, enforceable as
all other laws are enforced, without
the aid of special department of high
salaried men, are all that is needed.
AS our legislation now stands, we pay
more to protect the bullfrog, bullhead
and guttersnipe than we pay to safe
guard life and property. Ma disonian.

THROUGH the sale of Liberty Loan
Bonds the United States is borrowing
large sums of money from its citizens,
its business men, farmers, bankers,
wage earners, merchants, manufacture
ers. The government collects this
money and disburses it in two ways.
Part it expends itself and part it loans
our allies. The United States and these
other governments spend it for Ameri-
can products and American labor and it
goes back directly into the hands of
the people, the American business man,
farmer, banker, wage Garner, merchant
and manufacturer. This is the cycle.
John Smith the farmer and Thomas
Brown the wage Garner each has pur-
chased a Liberty Loan Bond, paying
down the initial payment of per cent.
On June 18th they make the Is per
cent payment, depositing the amount
in their banks and sending checks to
the Federal Reserve Bank of their dis
trict. The Federal Reserve Bank col
lects the check and redeposits the
money with the local banks. Later the
Treasury Department draws against it
and the money is again lodged with the
Federal Reserve Bank. It is almost
Immediately withdrawn from the Fed
eral Reserve Bank either by the United
States or by some foreign government
engaged in war with Germany to which
the United States has advanced money
and is paid out for American products
or labor. Some of it is spent for farm
products and raw material, and some
of it. for manufactured products, thus
going back into the hands of American
citizens.

plete it should be uniform in grade
and cross section. If depressions oc-
cur under the roller they should be
corrected by adding gravel and con-
tinuing the rolling, and this should be
kept up until no depresslons or APP
preciable waves are produced by the
roller In moving back and forth owe
the surface.
z. After the road is opened to traf-
fc it should be watched very careful
ly for several months and all defects
which develop should be corrected i'm
mediately. The work of maintaining
the road until the surface no longer
'picks up" or ravels under traffic
should be considered an essential fea-
ture of the construction. When traffic
Is depended upon to compact the grav-
ell, much dragging usually is neces-
sary in order to III a smooth, we'll
bonded surface. In fact, the cost Of
dragging, under such conditions, fire.
quently may exceed the cost of secur-
ing a w~ell-bonded surface by mean
of rolling.
The construction method described
above is modified quite frequently by
emitting the subgrade trench and the
rolling. The practice followed In many
localities is simply to grade up the
rOadbed and heap gravel along the
central portion. Traffic is then de-
pended upon to spread and compact
the gravel and produce a uniform sur
face. While some Of the roads CON
structed in this way are great improve
ments Over the original earth roads
they are nearly always crowned too
much for comfortable driving, and sell
dom wear as well as when the more
careful method Of construction Is fol-
lowed. II Is believed, therefore, that
In the long run it usually pays to en-
plOy a trenched subgrade and to COM
pact the surface by rolling, though a
possible exception to the economy of
a trenched subgrade may exist where
good gravel may be obtained very
cheap. In this case 1t may be cheaper
to surface the entire roadway than to
incur the additional expense Of trench
ing and constructing earth shoulders.

loads are dumped all In one spot and
spread later with shovels, as is done
frequently. It Is very difficult to secure
uniform density Of the surface crust
by subsequent narrowing and rolling.
The spots where the loads are dumped
nearly always will be more densely
compacted than the areas between,
and, as a result, uneven settlement
will develop soon.
2. The gravel should be spread in
two or more courses, and the thickness
Of the different courses should be ap.
proximately the same, except that
the first course may be made some
what thicker than the succeeding
courses, because, in general, a thicker
layer Of gravel may be compacted on
the subgrade than when spread over
n layer Of gravel already compacted.
It usually Is impractlcable to have the
compacted thickness of any course
greater than about 8 inches, and quite
frequently 3 or 4 inches is as much as
can be compacted satisfactorily at n
time.
3. After each course Of gravel Is
spread 1t should be narrowed with q
tooth harrow until the various sizes
Of particles and the binder or cement
ing material are distributed thoroughly
through the mass. Then 1t should be
cOmpacted by rolling with a power
roller Weighing about 10 tons, or by
means Of traffic. Where a roller is en-
p'oyed the rolling should be continued
until the particles OF gravel are all
well bonded together and the surface
presents a smooth, uniform appear
ance When completed, the surface
Of each course should be so firm and
unyieldlng that It will not be disturbed
In any way by subsequent traffic.
4. Where 1t is necessary to add
sand or clay to the gravel In order to
all the volds, 1t should be done after
each course is spread and before It Is
narrowed, except that with some kinds
Of gravel 1t may be permissible to add
a limited amount of fine material to
the surface Of the top course after the
narrowing Is completed and the rolling
Is In progress.
8. Where the binder consists of some
material other than clay, it may
be desirable to sprinkle each course
with water while 1t is being rolled, and
even Were clay is used as a binder a
small amount Of sprlnkllng may be
necessary in dry weather in order to
secure a satisfactory bond. The
sprinkllng always should be done uni
formly and in such quantities as not
to wash the fine material out from the
gravel or to soften the subgrade.

Figure 1 shows a typical cross Sec
ton for a gravel-road surface and in
dicates the customary steps involved
in the construction of such a surface.
The limiting thlcknesses shown on this
cross section are by no means followed
universally, but are believed to repre-
sent the best current practice. The
minimum thickness shown is supposed
to be employed where the traffic is
light and the subgrade Is uniformly
stable, while the maximum thickness
is adapted for opposite conditions
Perhaps the most usual compacted
thickness of surface is eight inches at
the center and six inches at the edges.
The difference In thickness between
the edges and center Is effected by
making the crow Of the subgrade fat

increased Importance in connection

classes Of work will be considered in
the following discussion:

greater should be the care exercised
to prevent 1t from being damaged
