Constituted 9 Per Cent of Entire Stone Production of United States. The well-known group of mad-building rocks which includes bassalt, dia-tase, and come other dark igneous roeka that are very similar in mineral composition and physical properties furnished ine per cent of the value of all the tone produced iu the I'nited States in )f 17, according to statistics compiled under the direction of (J.

F. Loughylin, of the United States geological survey, department of the interior. The total value of the basalt produced in 1917 was which is "5.412 or 1.2 per cent less than that in 3010, and jlie value in HUH declined 10 per cent from that in 1013. The quantity of this stone produced decreased from short tons in 3016 to S.S;)2.tS40 short ton in 1017, a decrease of 14 per cent. Most of the etone of this clas now quarricr is crushed for use as road metal and in ponerete, and in small part of railroad ballast.

In 1017 this crushed stone rep-stone of this class now quarried is B7 per cent of the value of the basalt pnd related Tocks sold in the United States, and 20 per cent of the quantity end 22 per cent of the value of the total crushed stone sold. The sales of the short tons of rrushed stone valued at classified according to use, were divided a follows: Uoad metal, 3,751,3011 short tons, valued at concrete short tons, valued at railroad ballast 1,010,475 short tons, valued at $822,450. There was a decrease of 910,792 short tona (10 per cent) in total quantity, but a small increase, 1,040 (1 per cent), in the total value of rrushed basalt and related rocks in 1017. The average price per ton in 1017 was B2 cents, 0 cents more than in 101(5. Road metal showed the largest decrease In quantity, 510,004 tons (12 per cent J'he quantity of concrete decreased short tons (0 per cent).

The value nf road metal, however, decreased (2 per cent), and that of concrete in-rreased (3 per cent). Railroad ballast decreased in quantity 82,483 iliort tons (7 per cent) and increased in falue (8 per cent). The principal states producing this ind of crushed stone, named iu order Recording to rank of value of output, re New Jersey (road metal and Pennsylvania (road metal and fatlroad ballast); Connecticut (road fcietal and concrete); California (concrete). Kach of these states produced ver 1,000,000 short tons, valued at more than $000,000. New Jersey, l'ennsyl-fania and California each decreased in pantily and increased in value of output during 1017; Connecticut showed in-ii'case in both quantity and value.

In 1015 New York was included in this roup, ranking third, but a large t1e-tteaso iu both quantity and value in 1017 reduced this' state to fifth in rank. The Victory Bonds.

Wisconsin 3L GEN. PERSUING VERY BUSY AT HEADQUARTERS There Is Little Ceremony and Nothing to Distinguish His Office Rooms from the Others. Chautnont, Haute Marne, France, Dec. (Correspondence of the Associated Press). When lie is here at general headquarters General Pershing leads a very busy but very simple life.

There is little ceremony of an ostentatious kind either at bis chateau or around his offices. There is nothing to distinguish his office rooms in building of the headquarters group from those of any other officer. One, orderly sits at his door, there is no sentry and the visitor walks unannounced into the adjoining reception room to be received bv one of his staff. General Pershing's trips to and from his chateau in the country are made in his motor car, distinguished only by its red, four-starred insignia on the windshield and where would be the number plate, which slip unuoiiced along the road and through the city. Ordinarily he is accompanied only by bis personal aide, bis staff following at a distance great enough not to mark the big cars as one squadron.

In line weather he sometimes walked the two or three miles from the outskirts of Chautnont to his country home, and that, with quiet horseback rides through the beautiful country hereabouts, gave him his needed exercise. Much of his time since last spring, when the American forces began real participation in strength in the fighting, has been spent at advanced army headquarters, 'liese have been at, various places, sometimes at a distance to entail loner, hard automobile rides from thera to Cltaumont when circumstances demanded his presence here. Often after a hard day at. advanced headquarters the general has made the three- or four-hour drive late at night, only to depart early the next day. Ilia powerful closed car with double rear wheels usually travels at high speed and iu its comfortable cushions ho obtains the rest denied him in bed.

Life at General Pershing's chateau is plain to the point of simplicity. Kxcept for the beautiful old eastle and its picturesque setting in the valley of the Marne, it might be the home life of any fairly well to do American business man. Only uniforms of his military household set it apart. His personal staff lives with him and bis servants are negro soldiers detailed. And they are good cooks, as his few guests can testify, placing on his table simple, Well cooked American dthes, usually three or at most four courses, including coffee and cheese and served American style.

No sentries are in evidence, nothing to mark the chateau as the residence of the commander-in-chief. The visitor's car drives through a plain, unguarded gateway in a closely set grove, along a curving roadway for a few hundred yards, and then only is had the tirst glimpse of the old castle, lying in its parks and lawns bordered on one side by a long, sweeping curve of the river Marne and its canal, lined on either bank with tall poplars set. equidistant and lending an added touch of formality to the always formal French landscape. Often General J'ershing himself rises from a seat on the terrace to greet a guest and, if not, one of bis staff. The meal is very informal, conversation being general and the commander-in-chief apparently does not like to linger at the table.

Afterward coffee and cigars in the big lounge room or a stToll tinder the trees until the general indicates that his leisure is ended. General Pershing has kept himself in splendid physical condition during these trying months. He is as lean and clear-eyed as he was when he came from the Mexican campaign, as straight and soldierly in bearing as he was in the days of his Philippine campaigns when he first won notice. His eyes still twinkle when occasion rails and, the corners of hia mouth still turn in the familiar, quickly passing smile. For those he has known in past days be always has some mutual reminiscence to recall, some incident of the Philippines or of Mexico or the days when he was on duty in Washington, and bis hearty laugh often sounds through the doors of his office as he chats with some old acquaintances.

Fann Bureau Work Among Arizona Pines. Just back of the San Francisco peaks in Coconino county, there is a productive little farming community known as Kendrick Park. Twenty-six homesteaders have cast their lot in this place to battle with the elements at an elevation of feet. Although at a high elevation, excellent crops of oats, barley, and potatoes are grown, the dry-land method of farming being used. At ft meeting called last June by the county agent, 21 of the farmers were present, the other two being away from home.

A vacated lumber camp was used as a meeting place, the, former dining room serving as an auditorium. It was plainly seen at once that these farmers were by no means ''backwoodsmen," although they lived in a timber district on farms surrounded by tall pines and 20 miles from town. Committees were appointed to follow out the farm bureau plan. This placed the community on an organized basis wilb several committees in charge of the different problems. It gave them a common interest and federated them with the other farmers of the county through the farm bureau.

SILAGE PROBLEM SOLVED. Experiment with the Utilization of Stover After the Corn lias Been Kusked SuccessfuL Fanners throughout the country arc much interested in a method of provid ing a cheap wintering ration for cattle which has been made possible through experimenting with the utilization of com stover for ensilage, says II. Gortner, a member of the American Chemical society. Professor Grindley of the Illinois agricultural experiment station recommends an enniiage made from the stover after the corn has been busked and the gTain sold, though if the ensilage is to be fed to milch cows the entire corn plant should be used. In a report to the American Chemical society, at the annual meeting held in Cleveland) last month, lr.fesor Grindley submitted figures showing that the maximum quantity of nutrients is not present in the corn when it is ensiled tt he time usually recommended, i.

about ten days before it is ready for shocking, but that it should be left until ready to cut and shock in order to obtain the maximum weight of nutrients per acre. Ensilage for winter feeding prepared as recommended from the stover remaining after husking and selling the grain is a source of economy and cattlo improve under its use, On such ensilage, Professor Grindley reports, to which one pound of linseed meal a day is added, yearling cattle grow in weight and good maintenance is provided for the breeding herd. Tlic cost of over-wintering animals on corn stover silage, plus the one pound of linseed meal, is seven cents a day as compared with approximately twenty-one cents when silage made from the entire corn plant is used. Los than 50 per cent of the corn stover is utilized when it is pastured in the open and the feed, filage, does not give as good nutritional results. Another advantage in using the corn stover is in keeping the silos full all of the time and having ensilage available during the late spring and early summer, for if the dry stover is kept under cover it does not deteriorate to any considerable extent and can be used to fill the depleted silos in the spring.

Killing the ilos with the chopped stover does not differ from the usual methods with the exception that sufficient water must be added to produce about th degree of moisture ordinarily present when the green corn plant is used. The ensilage should be packed well in ordrr to exclude air pockets. If these conditions are observed the farmer will find that the chemist has solved the problem for a cheap over-wintering feed and has also increased the amount of corn which could be used for human food.

Kennedy, a Vermont Delegate to Recent American Highway Congress, Also Thinks Roads Should Be of Hard Surface. James E. Kennedy of Essex Junction, who was a member of the Vermont commission to the recent highway congress in Chicago, with State Highway Commissioner S. It. Rates and State Engineer II.

M. Mcintosh, has reported to Governor-elect Clement as follows: "That the delegates to the highway congress from the western and the near-western states should have been enthusiastic for highways of the most permanent construction was to have been ex pected. But, to find the same marked enthusiasm among the delegates from the eastern states, was a surprise but most grat ttvmg. "In this convention dirt roads had no place whatsoever. Not one speaker re' ferrcd to this kind of road construction Every subject was impregnated vith an atmosphere of permanency.

The 'best is none too good' seemed to he the slogau of every speaker's talk. Not a reference was made to dirt roads, gravel roads or turnpikes. Therefore, I may well add: The time has arrived beyond the perad- venture of a doubt when the stales of the union have fixed the'r attention on as near permanent highway construction as engineering skill can possibly devise. In other words, there ut a strong desire to build for the future and not just for the present. "Government aid for state highways, constructed under government supervi sion, was favored by every speakor.

The plan ot the stales matching the allot mcnts of the government, met with fa vor. No sum seemed too large for the government to appropriate for this pur-nose. No one objected to the amendment to the highway bill now before Congress to appropriate one hundred million dollars to be distributed among the states in accordance with the appropriations of each stale, lhe suggested plan is that the national government match dollar for dollar the sums voted by each respective state. This plan finds a parallel -in Vermont in that the state matches the appropriation made for highway construction by the towns, and is supposed to have supervision over the manner in which these moneys are expended. "Another plan that met with general approval was that the national government take over the trunk lines and connecting cross state roads in each of the 48 states, rebuild and maintain them, the only thing devolving upon the states being the furnishing of the right of wav, or a cleur title to proceed on the part ot the national government without any complications or unnwTssary proceedings in order to perform the work of road building.

"Whether this plan would be applicable to Vermont I am not quite clear. One informant tells me the highways of the state are not owned by the state, while another informant stales that not only are the highways of the state the property of the state, but that the streets of the village and of the cities are as well the property of the state. If the latter part of the statement is correct, then this plan looks good for Vermont, but if the state has no property rights in the highways, then I can see all kinds of arising in ease the state should move to turn the highwavs, or a portion of them, over to the national government. "One speaker brought out an approaching condition that will apply to Vermont as forcibly as to other states. Before quoting from his speech it should be stated that Vermont has contributed to the army, cither to the lighting service or to some branch of the service, 15,000 men.

These boys, or most of them, ill in time bo returned to the slate, and from them we must c.vpect council and puidance. The (brie has certainly arrived when the young man, especially the young man who has served hia country in lhe most terrible war of history, is going to take his just and true place in th management of the state. It will be well that we give him his place willingly, for he is sure to take it even if the opposition is strenuous. The day of the grandfather has passed and with him hia set ideas and notions that the ymmg must wait. "Here is the quotation from the speaker referred to: 'The soldiers who have been in France and Belgium and Italy and have seen the government roads of those countries, teaching to tlie smallest hamlets, will not be satisfied with conditions in our agricultural sections until we, too, have a system of roads fairly comparable to those on the continent.

If we expect these boys to raturn to the farms from which topy came or go to the farms in new sections, we must prepare the way by a system of roads that will connect them not only their adjacent communities, but with the country as a No Objection to Bond Issue. "Not one person prescntat the congress, so far as I observed, raised an objection to a bond issue for highway construction. Illinois has just voted a bond issue of $00,000,000, which it is believed will but supplement whatever aid may come from the national government. I mention Illinois as showing the tendency in progressive states. This bond issued in this western state means tax levy of $10 per capita to care for it.

this policy, why should Vermont continue to henitatc in adopting a like policy "The only arguments I have ever heard advanced in opposition to bond issue for highway purposes are first that we should pay as we po, and, second, that Vermont has no bonded indebtedness and should not have. This means nothing and the arguments are childish. 1 cannot conceive of any Vermnnter, and it matters not from what section of the state he may have gone, having listened to the big men present at the Chicago highway congress listened to their expressed desire to build for the futurecould return horhe with the fcel- insf that we should continue our present patchwork policy and 'pay as we "We listened to speeches on all phases oi roaa ouiiaing, repiruing material ana the proper machinery for handling the material. But we listened to no speech, or no argument, favoring dirt roads. "Speaking about machinery, it might be well here to remark, lhat Vermont, expending better than a million dollars annually at the present time on our highways, owns no road building machinery not even a Even if the next legislature is adverse to the adoption of a new policy, and continues to depend upon the towns for whatever machinery is used in the building of our highways it would not be right.

It would not be playing fair with the tons. "Throughout the entire congress, both while in session and when discussing road building outside the meetings, the universal sentiment was for ettieiency in construction and a continuance of that same efficiency in maintenance. 'While this theme is in mind cannot help but recall what at the time seemed to be good road building in our state was, as soon as completed, apparently forgotten both by state and town officials and was not recalled to mind until that particular piece of road was completely worn out and absolute reconstruction necessary in order to make it passable. This, certainly, is not efficiency. Dut if it is, then etlicicncy means something different to mo than it does to the individuals building our roads.

"1 see no reason why a dollar expended on the highways of Vermont should not show up as a dollar well expended for either material or labor, and his applies to whatever policy of road building may be adopted. "I am informed that approximately one million dollars is available yearly for highway work in the state, hven this expenditure, it would 'seem, if properly applied, should give us highways that would be serviceable in the early spring and late fall. Under the present system our highways are quite impassable until and they again become quite impassable in October, or even earlier, as certainly was the case the present year. I am -speaking of automobile travel. travel, or heavilv loaded trucks, was a subject of considerable attention in the congress.

(Some favored practically unlimited tonnage, while others would restrict the tonnage to as low as three tons, but all with the idea of constructing the highways to hold up under these heavy loads. In building a new highwav policy tor Vermont the coming heavy travel feature of the future, and this. is ncr at hand, should be given careful consideration. "In closing, I may say that I am strongly of the opinion that only hard surfaced roads will meet the reqture-ments of the future. Jf the state continues the construction -of dirt or gravel roads they must he given substantial foundation and adequate maintenance.

And maintenance will be necessary nd economical no matter what kind of high way is constructed. "Rebuilding the same highway every 12 months, or to be more accurate, every six months, is not economy nor is it good business from any viewpoint. Again, see no reaaou why Vermont should hesitate at a proper bond issue, ith the hope that erniont will keep pace with more progressive states of the union in its road building, I am, very truly yours.

King George's Utterances. Americans cannot fail to recognize and appreciate the high excellence of the speech of welcome by King Cieorge at the Buckingham palace banquet in honor of the president. The historical signifi cance of lhe occasion was admirably appraised by the king and in his tributes to America and its president the king was most felivitoils without once descending to a form of flattery that might have seemed to our own people insincere. The rhetorical style of the British monarch is very unlike that of a French functionary on a similar occasion, but that, is the difference between the and the habitual expression of the two nationalities. The address of King Ccorge, has such solid merit as to command admiration' and it is to be hoped that it will be read by every American.

During 1918 the women of the United States have been brought to do many things new and strange in the line of cooking, of using substitutes and going without many things that they have always been accustomed- to, but few have been the complaints. In fact, many housekeepers assert that, although they can now do as they like in the matter ot usiug wheat, they have not and do not intend to change their manner of living from what it has become since necessity caused a change in the mode of living.

Kven health itself has been gained, some state, as the result of the changed a. And so, although must housekeepers will undoubtedly return to their customs of pre-war days, still it is evident that no harm has been done to anyone by the change, some good may have been" done physically in certain cases and at least we have done our bit for the less fortunate peoples of the earth by our own saving. It has been a year when the women of the United States could show their love of country, even if in loss strenuous ac-tion than that put forth by the men: Many are. the offices, the factories, tiie farms, the street cars, where women have taken the place of former employes, called into active service of the country. And as patriotic as they were to oiler their services, so also are their acts giving these jobs Jiack to those who formerly held them.

It meant, a giving up in the first place, a giving up of or other occupation, and now it means a giving up for a second time, perhaps, for some, of their means of livelihood for the timebcing. But the women have lieen ready to do their part in the world problem and have taken such of its burdens as they could, gladly and willingly. We all rejoice that the war is over; -we also rejoice that as our fathers, sons and brothers have responded to the call to serve, so also have done what we could. Don't Waste What You've Canned. This was seen recently on the pantry shelves of a patriotic but thoughtless woman: One quart can with about a cupful of chowchow in it, no longer lit to eat, and one jelly glass with a few spoonfuls of jelly left to dry up and be wasted! Are they on your pantry shelf? This may have been a common sight a few years ago when ail at what we wanted and threw the rest, out, but now when every spoonful of food must be put to use to save humanity, not even a drop of jelly can be wasted.

The housekeeper argues that she canned so much fruit and vegetables, she just couldn't find enough pint cans and small jelly and jam glasses. Her family is so small they grow fired of one kind of chowchow, or sauce or vegetable, before the can is used up, and just a little a very little is wasted each time. Here are a few hints that will help.

Because your family is small, you will 1 undoubtedly open the pint cans first.

This will leavo small empty cans in I which you can recan any leftover fruit or vegetable you think your family will of before it is used. Or you might carry over a bowl of tomatoes or peaches to your neighbor when you have to open a two-quart can. Some day she wDl re turn, perhaps, with a bowl of corn which she is not anxious to use at once. Under no consideration should any canned fruit or vegetables be carelessly left to spoil when so much labor was spent in canning last summer, and when there are so many hungry mouths to fill. Save the spoonfuls.

They are worth it. It is well to look over the cans on your cellar shelves frequently to see that nothing has happened or that no ran is "wording." Sometimes a faulty lid or rubber will spoil a can of fruit, after you are sure itis safe for the winter. A little vigilance on home-canned goods has saved many a can of fruit in time enough to have il cooked over. Dorothy Dexter. Says County Agent Was Big Factor.

To operate a farm of 319 acres with only two young boys to do the work is not an easy job. To make it produce a net profit of $1,800 in one year under those conditions is considered a real achievement. A farmer near Rockford, Coosa county, Alabama, in a letter to the United States department of agriculture, gives this as the record made by his oxvn sons. But he adds that the county agent was the big factor in the achievement. It was the agent who helped to select the seed and gave advice on drainage, terracing, pasturing, and the care of the cattle and hogs, "in a general way he has heled by organizing the boys' pig I and calf clubs that are working onders for the improvement of stock," writes this farmer.

Ali'o he adds that itliis county agent and his wife "have caused the cunning industry at home to ii.crease per cent ill the last two years." Ilcusewives Trade Ideas Through Newspapers.
