= BAD ROADS TO BLAME.
Why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Improbable.

Why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Improbable.
A highly important feature of the
highways question is the effect good OF
bad roads have upon the local markets
and their sources Of supply, says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities and
large towns Of the state there is de-
mand for farm products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as lay
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun-
try is quite capable Of supplying that
demand; in all cases it should do so az
far as possible; in most cases it does not.
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail
or canal from far away, perhaps from
other states; while at the same time,
within few miles Of the market thus
supplied, are farms that have been
abandoned az not worth working and
others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and despair at the apparent i'm
possibility of getting profitable prices
for their crops. The big farms of the
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and so farming here. no longer pays.
Now, one prime secret of the trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market. The farmer 1000 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canalmore easily and more cheaply than
the farmer only ten miles away can haul
his in over roads that are SO hilly and
rough and miry that half ton is a
heavy load for horse to drawat slow
footpace.. r, =. ..,r+@a'
It is not that farms in the east are no
longer productive, nor that the eastern
market no longer offers fair prices. 1t
'is that the roads between the farms and
the markets are 80 bad as to make ship
ment Improbable. Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent to the
cities and towrIs would do more than
anything else to restore prosperity to
the farmers, enabling them to get their
goods to the best possible market easily,
promptly and. oheaply. Good roads
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and good times for all con-
cerned. 80 "g&at%f

Worth Remembering.

The community with the best roads
is very likely to be the best community.
A narrow tire will dig rut, but a
good broad tire will roll it shut.
The depth of a road is more to be
dreaded than its length.
The state Of the road tells the size of
