The general belief is that, whatever comes, the
will be year Of unexampled prosperity. The farm
ers are getting high prices The demand for their
products is not likely to lessen And the evidence is
the limit.
No previous year has at this season promised so
wide demand for cars.

THE FARM LOAN ACT.

On another page OF to-day's issue will
be found the first article OF series to be
printed during the present week on the
various phases of the federal farm loan
act recently passed by Congress. The ar
ticles are written by Frank h. Wilson OF
the federal loan bureau in Washington,
ID. c., and are, therefore, authoritative;
the statements therein contained may be
taken for their face value and relied
upon accordingly. The federal farm loan
act was enacted by Congress with view
to helping the farmers in the develop
ment of their property and it is to them
that the articles will directly appeal.
Nevertheless there Is much OF interest in
the facts set forth by Mr.. Wilson and no
doubt the general readers of The Times
will acquire valuable information about
the great new department of the federal
government Whether prospective Dor
rowers under the provisions of the sys-
TEN or not, all have an indirect concern
in the working out of the system because
of the splendid purpose back OF the
scheme.

NEW ENGLAND SPENT
S15,435, 766 FOR ROADS
Massachusetts, Led in Expenditure, with
Rhode Island Last and Vermont Next
to the Last Although Laying Out
More Than Double What
Rhode Island Did.

Washington, ID. c.. Jan. l5.- Expendi.
lures for road improvements in the New
England states in 1914 showed increases
over such expenditures in 1904 ranging
from 10 per cent in Rhode Island to near
~ POS per cent in Massachusetts,, accord
ing to road statistics for the section, Just
published by the Office of public roads
and rural engineering, of the U. s. de-
partment OF agriculture, in department
bulletin No. 3sS. The total for 1914 was
$l5,435, 766.0l, and for 1904 1888, 1875. 20.
OF the expenditures in 1914, Massachu-
sets spent more than $4,000, 900 and Con
nectieut over $3,640,000. The approx
mate expenditures for the remaining
states were: Maine, $2,642,000; New
Hampshire, 81 100000: Vermont. 81 ,O24,-
600; and Rhode Island $446 500
The surfaced roads of the six states
had had an aggregate length OF lS,036.7S
miles on Jan. |, 1918. This was 20.S0 per
cent of the total road mileage, which was
s6,7ls. While the percentage of inn
proved roads is a trife less than that
given in the statistics gathered in 1909,
this merely indicates in the opinion of
ieutidi ipdu specialists, bndI the PRESENT.
statistics are more nearly accurate and
not that there has been any lack of
growth in the road systems of the sec
ton.
The statistics show that nearly 10 per
cent OF the improved roads in New Eng
land are bituminous macadam, IL per
cent macadam, .23 per cent concrete and
.0l per cent brick. Approximately go
per cent of the improved highway is sur
faced with gravel. OF the six states,
Massachusetts has the greatest percent
age of surfaced roads on JAN /, 1915
1858 per cent. Nearly Is per cent of
this surfaced mileage was bituminous
macadam. This-was approximately nine
times the mileage of bituminous macad-
am in New Hampshire, the state having |
the next greatest of this type of road.
Road and bridge bonds to the amount |
of $40, sos ,522.s2 were outstanding in the |
six New England states Jan. |, 1915 OF |
these, all but 81 ,606,022 so of town bonds
in Massachusetts were state obligations. |
All the New England states now have /
highway departments and apply state
funds to the aid of road improvement, |
the report shows. The report is the sec
ond of five reports on pubic road mileages
and revenues in 1914, covering the va
-ious sections OF the United States.

The British army under General Haig
Is following the plan so publicly an
nounced few months ago, to the effect,
that despite the unfavorable weather
conditions of the winter months there
would be no let-up in the harrassing of
the Germans. From day to day there
rome reports of scattered engagements,
rither trench raiding or actual fighting in
force; and the Germans are nearly al
ways on the defensive in these move
ments. The sum total of the results
seems TO be that the British are making
some slight gains in ground on the
Somme front; but those gains are incon-
sequential as compared with the damage
10 the morale of the defending army. To
be constantly pestered and kept on the
aui vive in anticipation Of attack by
superior force gets on the nerves OF the
best soldiery. These scattered move
ments by General Haig's men. too, pres
,ge something more far-reaching just as
soon as the weather permits.

1t was natural that the entente's reply
to President Wilson's peace note would
arouse storm of fury in Germany be-
cause of the unbending demands asked
by the entente in any peace conference
thai might be called together within the
next few months. The storm broke i'm
mediately the reply was published in
Germany, and the press of the nation
showed the way to the people of the ma
ton. The same spirit was shown in
some of the entente nations when Presi-
dent Wilson's first move for peace was
made known, but since then the anger in
those nations has largely subsidized.
Therefore, it may be expected that on
second consideration Germany will view
the entente's demands more calmly.

The five and one-half millions increase
in value of 10 staple crops in Vermont
during the past calendar year makes for
largely increased prosperity for the
state. Incidentally, it furnishes time
ly object lesson to those outside of the
state who are looking for opportunities
in the line of agriculture. In number
of products Vermont was well to the
front in the yield per acre, notably in
corn, rye, spring wheat, tobacco and ap-
pies, while in other products like oats,
potatoes, barley, buckwheat, hay, etc,
the state was somewhat better than the
average. II must be borne in mind, too,
that in this activity Vermont is compel
ing with many states which are com
paratively young, the soil of which has
been worked not more than half as many
years as Vermont's.

The full extent of the benefcences OF
Joseph Battell TO Middlebury college is
revealed in the annual report just issued
by President Thomas of that institution /;
and the general public is very much sur
prised at the large amount of property
set at the disposal of the college The
total amount is slightly over 100000, of
which very large percentage is in real
estate, much of it producing good rev.
enue because located in the village of
Middlebury, where the returns are con-
sidered good. President Thomas eharae-

remarkable and generous ever made for
benevolent purposes in Vermont" 1t is
probably the largest single bequest ever
made in Vermont for any purpose, and
Middlebury college is to be congratulated
on being the beneficiary.
