WashingiOn.-Aside from California.
The grape-grOwing industry in the
United States promises soon to become
of even greater Importance than In
the days before the making of wine
was prohibited, according to an an
nOuncemeHt Just made. by the United
States department of agriculture. A
big demand has developed for grape
products and the shipments of grapes
last year were the largest for the last
four seasons under review. 1t is even
predicted that within a few years an
nual production of grapes will not
adequately supply the table stock and
the unfeimented juice, jam and jelly
trade.
"While grapes may be produced al
most anywhere" says bulletin from
the department, there are. II seems,

factors of sod and climate favor sue

more of the tonnage was used for
wine and unfermented grape juice.
THE requirements Of stock for
pressing are so much lower than those

canal. The participation Of the ma
tiOnal government in highway improve
ment marked departure from a policy
/ which had been followed for nearly
century. Federal cooperation with
the states on approximately a $3.50"
basis has counted more than any other
factor, says Mr.. Macdonald, in init
, ating highway construction that is be-
ing carried on under adequate super
vision. and in accord with q program
cO-ordinating local, state and national
needs.
Second only in Importance to the
gram is the excellence Of the char
acter of the roads being built. Sixty
per cent of the total allotment of fed
ersl funds which has been approved
to date will be spent for roads of
such durable types as bituminOHs con-
crete. Portland cement concrete. and
vitrified brick. These roads, when
built. will increase by 1900 miles the
total Of l4.4O0 miles OF roads Of this
class which existed in the United
States before the federal-aid road law
was passed. Rut these figures by no
means represent the total mileage af-
fected.
In 1917 the total expenditure for
roads end bridges Ivy all the states and
local governments was 1867 ,OOOOO0
while this year the estimated funds
available for main road construction
are nearly three times that amount,
or 1893, 100000 In all. federal funds
to the amount Of S266. 10000 have
been appOrtioned among 4S states
without suggestion Of favoritism-
so adequate are the provisions for
Just appOrtiOnment.
One of the early and most far-reach-
ing results directly attributable to the
adoption Of the federal-aid program
was the creation Of adequate state
highway departments In II states which
previously had either no state depart
ment. or departments insufficiently
equipped. Within one year after the
passage Of the federal-aid road act
more constructive state highway legis-
latiOn was placed upon the statute
books than had ever been enacted in
a simila| period In the history Of the
country.
The inslstence Of the government
upon the construction Of federal-aId
roads under the supervision Of engi-
neers Of the state departments has re-
suited In placing much larger pro-
portion of road work under skilled
direction. In 1915, the year before
the federal-aid act was passed, only
80 per cent Of the money for roads
and bridges built in the United States
was expended under the supervision
of state highway departments. This
year these departments will exercise
control over fully 50 per cent Of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building.
