should be spread out In as near their
original position as practicable and
the soil carefully worked in about
them with the fingers so that each
rootlet will come in contact with the
soil. When roots have been placed

thoroughly tamped. then more soil
should be added and again tamped.
The tree may be thoroughly watered
and then about three to four inches

ALL RECEIVE SOME Benefit
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
to Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads Of the great pro-
ducing zones Of this country are i'm
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but to consumers. When
marketing is distributed throughout
the year, storage charges must decline.
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on foodstuffs. The dis
advantages Of freight congestion in the
fall cannot be entirely eliminated in
many places, but good roads will GER
tainly have marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling over longer periods.
It is reasonable to say, therefore,
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged, the area
Of profitable production increased, the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform dstribu'
ton of farm products secured.

HIGHWAYS
INCREASE IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
Statistics Show Increase Of 1,418,e29
Cars Over 1918-Roads Must
Be Maintained.

That the present interest in the con-
struction Of new highways should not
divert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved is
a point which the bureau Of public
roads, United States department of ag-
riculture, has had occasion to empha-
size many times in recent months. par
ticularly In view Of the enormous in
crease in motor vehicle traffic which Ia
taking place. The bureau recently
completed compilation Of statistics
from all the states Of the Union show
ing that there were total Of 1866 ,446
registered motor cars Uncluding motor
cycles and trucks) In the United
States in 1919. This is an increase of
% per cent, or 1,41S,S29 motor cars
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, it is pointed
out, and in consequence added atten-
ton must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase in the number of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered in the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use of roads and streets
has, of course, been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments in the form Of H.
cense fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles. trucks. and motor cycles in
use in 1919 totaled $64 1867 ,255. 5S-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The
total revenues for New York and Penn

MAKING DIAMONDS POSSIBLE
President Of Dutch Workers. Union
Admits Artificial Process May
Be Known.

Amsterdam.-Henry Polak, presi.
dent Of the Dutch Diamond Workers
union. says 1t is not impossible that
German explosives firm has dis
covered how to manufacture diamonds
artificially, as. claims to have done.
The chief difficulty is to obtain an
unbelievably powerful pressure under
the right circumstances, NJ. Polak ex-
planned. Since it is manufacturer
Of explosives which Is reported to have
discovered the method of making dia-
monds, he said it was possible that
experimenters had succeeded in OBJ
taining the desired pressure.
NJ. Polak expressed some doubt as to
whether diamonds could be ,manufac-
tured artif1cially at less than the cost
Of mining them.
It was recently announced in Berlin
that dynamite company Of Hamburg
had obtained the patent for the man
ufacture of diamonds and was in a
position to produce several hundred
carats daily at cost less than the
present world price for the natural
stones.

Philadelphia, Pa.-What is believed

lection of clay tablets from Babylonia
according to an announcement by Gu
rator Lagrain Of the Babylonian Sec

seal for a registered package, dated
about 23OO B. C.
1t Is likeness Of Ibi-Sn, the last
king of Ur, known to Bible students
as Ur Of the Chaldee.
The package or sack bearing the
seal, Doctor Lagrain said, appears to
have been sent by the high priest Of

Ibi-Sin Was Different.
Before the days of Ibi-Sn we never
heard Of king giving any one
seal containing his portrait, but in
this instance the seal not only dis
tinctly says the king-god gave the
seal to the high priest Of the Temple
of Ur, but shows a picture of the
event.
"Possibly the fact that Ibi-Sin was
the last Of his dynasty and may have
seen the end coming was responsible
for this remarkable gift"

IMPROVED
ROADS
ENTRANCE ROADS FOR FARMS
Engineers Of Bureau Of Public Roads
Recommend Use Of Bituminous
Material.

Owners Of large farms and rural
estates seeking more satisfactory
type of entrance roads have applied
to the bureau of public roads Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture for advice regarding the applica-
tion Of bituminous material on main
entrance and much-traveled farm
lanes.
The bureaus engineers point out
that such applications may be made
successfully on any farm road which
has already been constructed Of stone,
gravel, or other similar material and
is in thoroughly compacted and rea-
sonably smooth condition. A coal-tar
preparation applied cold, or an as
phaltic oil, can be used, and If applied
by the farm employees, the cost should
not exceed Z or 8 cents a square yard
for materials. The compacted gravel
or stone road should be thoroughly
cleaned of dust and the bitumen
applied with ordinary sprinkling
pots from which the perforated noz-
zle has been removed and the spout
carefully fattened into a symmetrical
rectangular opening about one-quarter
Of an inch wide, so that the material
may be poured in broad, fiat stream.
If large amount Of work is to be
done, a specially designed pouring can
may be purchased Of dealers in road
equipment. Care should be taken to
have an even distribution, and the
quantity, applied should be approx
mately one-half gallon to a square
yard Of road surface. After applying
the bituminous material, clean gravel
or stone chips should be spread even
ly oyer the surface, and, if possible,
rolled with a lawn or field roller.
Where gravel or chips are not avail
able, clean, coarse sand will serve as
covering material. 1t should be spread
in sufficient quantity to prevent the
bituminOus material from adhering to
tires Of passing vehicles. Attention is
called to the fact that this treatment
should not be made where drainage

A prospective purchaser Of a farm
is concerned about the adaptability
of the soil to specific agricultural ac-
tivities such as general farming,
stock raising, dairying or market gar

tons affecting such industries. He Is
also concerned about suitable home
life for his family, schools, churches

canal. The participation Of the ma
tional government in highway improve
ment marked departure from a policy
which had been followed for nearly
a century. Federal cooperation with
the states on approximately 5000"
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 program
co-ordinating local, state and national
needs.
Second only in importance to the
size of the present bodybuilding pro
gram is the excellence of the char
acter of the roads being built. Sixty
per cent Of the total allotment Of fed
eral funds which has been approved
to date will be spent for roads of
such durable types as bitulninous con-
crete, Portland cement concrete, and
vitrifed brick. These roads, when
built. will increase by 1900 miles the
total Of 14,400 miles of roads Of this
class which existed in the United
States before the federal-aid road law
was passed. But these figures by no
means represent the total mileage af-
fected.
In 1916 the total expenditure for
roads and bridges by oil the states and
local governments was $267, 100000,
while this year the estimated funds
available for main road construction
are nearly three times that amount.
or 1898. 100000. In all, federal funds
to the amount of $266, 100000 have
been apportioned among 48 states
without suggestion Of favoritism-
20 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 tnsufhclently
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 similar period in the history Of the
country.
The insistence 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 a 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 80 per cent Of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building.
