ROADS AND THE BUDGET

The progress made in highway
building in the United States has
Teen so marked that, in a compare
lively brief period of time, roads
have changed from being luxuries to
basic necessities.
Less than half century ago
money expended for highways was
an inconsequential item in the pub
lie budget. Today it holds, with
education. the outstanding position
of honor. Every year sees thoJ-
sands of miles of poor, unserviceaale
roads made into broad highways,
and new areas opened to industry
and pleasure through the medium OF
these transportation arteries.
1t has been said that road ex-
penditures during the present year
average over $11 for each man, wo-
man and child in the United States,
reaching the tremendous total OF

$4,000 FARMERS in SURVEY DECLARE
fertilizer PRICES ONLY "AvERAGE"
Their Answers to Questions Show
That Most Farmers Think
Price Not High.

Gas compared to other things, do
you consider fertilizer low, average
or high in price?"
: This question was answered last
summer by over $4,000 farmers in SO
states.
It was one Of 80 asked by represen-
tatives of the National Fertilizer as
ISOLATION in an attempt to find out
just what the farmer himself thinks
about fertilizer, how he uses it to
make money, and how the fertilizer
companies may further improve their
chemical plant food and their service
so the farmer may make more money.
While 1t is only human nature for
farmers or buyers of any product to
feel that prices are high, nevertheless
over half of the 1904 farmers who
answered this question said they think
the price of fertilizer is only aver
age"
Seven per cent, or an average OF z
out of each 100 farmers who were in
LoIVACWcup odiu IA0 PlASO 40 AcWs
Nearly IS per cent, or IS out Of 100,
said it is "high." The remaining z
out of 100 did not express an opinion
on this question.
Fertilizer Prices Low.
The Association points out that, ac-
cording to the U. s. Department Of
Agriculture. fertilizer actually is the
cheapest important supply the farmer
buys, with the exception of feeds,
which are / per cent lower.
Prices of complete fertilizer are gath
cred from all over the country by, the
Association. An average of these shows
that fertilizer is only slightly higher
now than before the war. The AsSoci-
alton finds that the price has been kept
reasonable despite the phenomenal
jump in wages of factory employees,
which have doubled since pre-war, and
an increase of 80 per cent in incoming
and outgoing freight, which makes
up about one-fourth of the price Of
fertilizer. Notwithstanding these i'm
portant increases in the manufactur-
er's cost, fertilizer prices at the factory
average only per cent above their
pre-war level.
Though the prices of farm products
have been low, the price of fertilizer
is relatively still lower. For in
stance. according to the latest avail
able figures Of the U. s. Department
Of Agriculture. cotton and cottonseed
are 40 per cent above pre-war: fruits

State gasoline taxes, like insur-
ance taxes, are coming to be used for
many purposes other than that for
which they were originally levied;
namely, building roads and main
tanning state insurance departments.
Highways are being made safer
through wider pavements, smooth
surfaces, easier curves with greater
sight distance, wider shoulders and

and vegetables are II per cent above;
dairy products are A per cent above;
| poultry products are So per cent
above; meat animals are SO per cent
above; grains are % per cent above,
and the average price of all farm prod
ucts is S6 per cent above. In contrast,
fertilizer prices at the factory average
only per cent above pre-war.
Reports Of the u. s. Department Of
Agriculture also show that the farmer
pays an average of Sc per cent more
than before the war for all the COM
modities he buys. This is further proof
that commercial fertilizer, being only
9 per cent above, is relatively mex
pehsive as compared to the cost Of
other things the farmer buys.
Helps Whole Community.
When it Is remembered that fertil-
iz@r returns to the farmer an average
of about So for each dollar invested,
and that high yields are necessary II
the cost of production per pound of
cotton or tobacco is to be reduced, then
it seems logical that the farmer
pshould use more and better fertilizer
so he can make more money on his
crops this year.
"A In addition, it is emphasized that
the more Fertilizer used in this COM
munity, the greater will be the return
Ito the farmers, which gives more busi-
mess to the local merchant, to the

with the farmer, thus increasing the

ARBITRATION

The I'm Alone question is to be
settled by arbitration, Article of
the 1924 treaty between the United
States and Canada and Great Britain
provides machinery for resort to
arbitration and Secretary Stimson.
calling attention to this fact, invited
the Canadian government TO accept
this method of settling their dis
putes. Canada has accepted with
alarcity
Here were all the elements of a
grave misunderstanding between
countries: A British ship fired upon
by United States Coast Guard boat,
sunken, one of her crew drowned,
the rest taken to land as prisoners
though soon liberated. So much
for the British side
On the United States side
evasion of the country's law by
smuggling liquor into the country,
the I'm Alone being an old offender.
These positive points, the disputed
ones of distance from the shore,
right of continuous pursuit on the
ling point of one boat starting the
pursuit, another continuing it and
making the capture, make altogether
serious snarl. Yet as violently di-
vergent as the views of the two coun-
tries are they can be, and are to be,
settled by arbitration.
Also, in spite of the farm relic.
and tariff discussions now before the
Senate and the thought being given
them by the public, the earnest at.
tention of the American people is
focused on the arbitration treaty
between the United States and nine
teen Latin-American republics which
is now in the hands of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations and
is expected to come up before the
present short session of Congress.
Arbitration is now the interna
tional cry. 1t is one too, which is
likely to receive support from Pres.
idapt Inurser, Mr. Hu6ver was
raised in Quaker or Friends tradi
ton. Arbitration for international,
national, person difficulties has al.
ways been their belief. when diff.
ficulties arise among you is care
taken to end them speedily?" is ont
of the queries of Friends Discipline.
and advice is added that disinter
ested person be called in and the
matter be discussed before him. In
very much the same way in whicL
the Labor Board of Arbitrat on now
settles labor and commercial difficult
ties personal matters have long beer
settled by Friends.
Slowly the wisdom and justice OF
such adjustment has spread. BIZ.
when it comes to the manner il
which correspondence and communi
cations between the United States
and Canada have been conducted OIL
the I'm Alone matter the procedure
may well afford model to the world
to be followed in more serious dis
putes in the future.
Arbitration instead of war has
now become the slogan of all inter
nationally minded people. 1t is con
coded that there are probably few
educated people in the United States
today who do not in general believ,
in arbitration"

TREE PLANTING

The State Forest Nursery, estab
lished in 1914 for the purpose oil
growing trees suitable for planting
and also for furnishing trees for
planting along highways, has just
closed a very successful season
More than 100000 trees for forest
planting have been distributed at
cost in twenty-five counties Of the
State. Caroline county heads the
list with $4,000 trees, Garrett coun-
ty comes next with $4,000, closely
followed by Dorchester county with
10000, Hartford with $4,000 and
Frederick with $4,000, showing a
wide and growing interest in the
matter of reforestation. The prin-
ci@al species used were l0DTUlly pine
for the Coastal Plain section and red
pine and white pine for the Pied
mont and Western Maryland
sections.
The Department estimates that
there are $50, 600 acres of idle land
in Maryland better suited for tim
her growing than for any other pur-
pose. In order to get this land to
produce profitable crop, it must be
planted with trees at the rate OF
about 1000 trees to the acre. This
will require approximately 100000
900 trees, and in order to speed up
the reforestation program, it will be
necessary to enlarge greatly the out
put of the Forest Nursery. Next
year there will be available at the
State Forest Nursery nearly l.
100000 trees, and it is planned to
increase this output as the demand
develops, as it promises to do from
present indications.
Larger trees, suitable for road
side planting are being grown al
the Nursery and distributed at cost
for that purpose. During the last
season, approximately 1882 trees OF
this class were sent out, going into
nineteen counties, sufficient to plant
beth sides of 43.0 miles of highway
OF this number, 587 trees were fur
nlshed free for specific demonstra-
lions of roadside planting in the vi
cinity of Cumberland, Frederick
Linthicum Heights, Cheltenham
Chestertown, Upper Marlboro, Cam
bridge, and Point Lookout.
Interest in roadside planting is
just developing, and in the next few
years as people are able to visualize
the improvements which result from
planting trees along the highways
this interest will rapidly increase
The chief difficulty is that so many
of our highways have such mar
row right-of-way that planting is
not practicable, but there are suffi-
cient stretches throughout the State
to require 10000 trees. A survey
of roadside conditions along 1880
miles of main state highways made
last summer, showed that approx.
mately 400 of the distance was suit
able for roadside planting, and this
probably, is fair average for all oil
our main highways, where the right
of-way is 40 feet or more.
