FEDERAL AID TO THE IMPROVE-
MENT OF HIGHWAYS.
Report and Resolutions Submitted by
the Committee on Public Highways
of the National Orange, at Its Annual
Meeting, November 12-21, 1907, and
Unanimously Adopted.
Your Committee on Public Highways
has had under consideration, not
only the broad question involved in
the improvement' of the public highways,
but it has given special attention
to the plans of the Executive and
Legislative Committee to make the
Grange campaign, in favor of Federal
aid, effective. That plan is approved
by the Committee and the large
amount of work already accomplished,
in preparation of a vigorous campaign
in support of the Grange plan, is in
the highest degree commendable and
reflects great credit on our Executive
and Legislative Committee, who have
perfected arrangements to bring to
the support of the Grange Campaign,
to secure the enactment of the necessary
legislation by Congress, the aid
of the large industrial, commercial
and manufacturing interests of the
country.
In addtion to this, arrangements are
perfected to prosecute the campaign
vigorously among the farmers in all
unorganized sections of the country
and through farm organizations not
affiliated with the Grange.
The plans are so perfect and comprehensive
that a vigorous prosecution of
the campaign all along the line is
assured, and one that we may feel
confident will bring early success.
Your Committee, therefore, unanimously
approve the recommendations
of the Worthy Master and the Executive
Committee.
The resolutions referred to this
Committee are in harmony with the
plan and are hereby approved and incorporated
in the following—which, if
approved, will become the platform,
as it were, on which the Grange campaign
will be fought:
Whereas, The improvement of the
highways of the country is a matter
of general public concern, and should
properly receive the attention and as
sistance of the National Government,
and ,.
Whereas, The revenue by taxes paid
by the people of the country as a
whole should be devoted as faj as possible
to purposes which will benefit
the greater number of the taxpayers
in all sections of the country, and
Whereas, No argument can be advanced
in favor of the annual appropriations
by Congress on behalf of
river and harbor improvements that
does not apply even more strongly to
the improvement of our public roads;
therefore,
Resolved, That the National Grange
favors a general policy of good roads
construction by the various municipalities,
counties and States, and
Resolved, That we favor the imme-

SEED CORN
THE EXCELSIOR-A PEDIGREED CORN
Seven generations in ear-row
breeding. Plots under most intensive
methods known in the breeding
up of corn has produced in my
EXCELSIOR a corn of greatest
productivity and perfection. In a
variety test plot of 35 leading
varieties of corn conducted under
the supervision of the Maryland Experiment
Station, 1907, the Excelsior
far outyielded all other varieties.
At the State Corn and Wheat Show,
held 3d and 4th December last in
Baltimore, Excelsior won first prize
in every class for white corn and
won the beautiful Bolgiano Cup as
sweepstakes prize for the best corn,
any color, in the show. The net
winnings of my grains at the above
show was $135, which was paid in
gold. This corn has never failed to
take first prize at all fairs and corn
exhibits wherever shown.
