EASY TRANSPORTATION.
Good Roads Raise Value Of Farms
and Farm Products.

Good Roads Raise Value Of Farms
and Farm Products.
Bad roads constitute the greatest
drawback to rural life, and for the
lack Of good roads the farmers suffer
more than any other class. It Is OBJ
viously unnecessary, therefore, to dis
cuss the benefits to be derived by them
from improved roads. Suffice it to say
that those localities where good roads
have been built are becoming richer,
more prosperous and more thickly set
tied, while those which do not possess
these advantages in transportation are
either at standstill or are becoming
poorer and more sparsely settled. II
these conditions continue, fruitful
farms may be abandoned and rich
lands go to waste.
Life on farm often becomes, as q
result of 'bottomless roads," isolated
and barren Of social enjoyments and
pleasures, and country people In some
communities suffer such great disad.
vantage that ambition is checked, en-
ergy weakened and industry para,
lyzed.
Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desirable.
They economize time and force In
transportation Of products, reduce
wear and tear on horses, harness and
vehicles and enhance the market value
OF real estate. They raise the value Of
farm lands and farm products and
tend to beautify the country through
which they pass. They facilitate rural
mail delivery and are q potent aid to
education, religion and sociability.
Charles Sumner once said, eThe road
and the sehoolmaster are the two most
important agents in advancing civili-
4ation."
