SMALL FARMS AND GOOD ROADS

Gradually our people are beginning to
see that they have half cultivated too
much land. and that poor roads are most
expensive roads they can travel. They
are beginning to realize that ten acres
well titled is a better investment and n
more reliable means OF livelihood than
many times that acreage poorly cult
waited. And so they are likewise becom-
ing interested In having good roads,
realizing that there is no reader way TO
enhance the value OF land and the value
Of crops, and To remove that sense OF
loneliness and rcmoteness so many sec
tons experience. The following from
an exchange is pertinent on the question:
In England the owners Of estates above
one acre are about 100000; In France
they are about 100000. In sixty years
$4,000 emigrants have left England,
and less than 5o0,O00 have left France.
In England 33 per cent represents rural
population. while IN France IL is IS per
cent. In the French postotice savings
banes there is 5000, 100000 Small
farms will bring increased
rural population. better roads. better
society, free delivery to farmers. and u
lettering of all conditions. The good
roads OF France are n strength to tn,
nation. -Weiser Signal.
