the United States who would not
feel and enjoy the results OF 1t. The
government of the United States
has never failed to respond to the
demands for the improvement of
rivers and harbors, but has laid out
millions in that behalf. No one
objects to this. It 10 a proper
expenditure to develop the great
material interests of the country,
but this expenditure is necessarily
limited in it's scope and benefits.
The benefits of the great harbors
along the Atlantic seaboard and
gulf coast have cost the country
hundreds of millions of dollars.
All of these improvements are to
be commended. The improvement
of the various rivers for the past
seven years, together with harbors
has been at IN outlay of $3.50, sos, 4s5,
but not one dollar mas been appro-
priated toad the cultivators of the
soil in carrying their products to

NOT IDLE WHEN THE FIELDS
ARE WET.

A french farmer rarely carries his
produce to market when he can
work in the field. The time selected
for doing this work is bad, rainy
days or very cold days, when no
work can be done with the soil. At
such times the little covered wagon
is filled with produce. The farmer
is able 10 draw three or four times
as much to market as farmer can
in Missouri, Iowa or Tennessee.
1t is stated that it cost as much to
deliver busel of grain FIVE miles
to the railroads in Illinois as il then
costs to carry it LOO miles to Butfa.
ls. In West Virginia, in the tobac-
CO region, il costs five times as
much to deliver that product eight
miles over mud roads as il costs to
carry it over 400 miles to Richmond.
Va. II has been estimated that it
requires ten days hauling on an
average for each farmer in the
United States to carry his produce
to market. The twelfth census re-
ported 5,739.756 farmers in the Unit
ed States, the number of persone
over 10 years of age engaged in ag-
ricufture at lO,43s,2l9. On the sup
position that il takes ten days a
year to deliver the products of each
farmer to market, il will be seen
that in the aggregate there are over
81 million days consumed in deliv-
ering the products of the farm to
railroads or to market. This work
could be done at a time when no
other work can be done on the farm
and when the teams and men would
be idle but for this work.

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT HELP
ED ROAD BUILDERS.

Many prople affect to think that
national aid for good roads and
local improvements is wild fanny.
Far from it. What has been the
practice of the government: The
fret road which congress author
lied was from Cum berland, at the
head waters of the Potomac, which
was built from 1911 to 1918. at cost
of z million dollars. The construc.
ton of this road was authorized by
an act, March 20, 1906. The second
road authorized wac from the from
tier OF. Georgia to New Orleans.
This was April q, 1915. Another
was from Nashville, Tenn, to
Natchez, Miss. In eleven years
fourteen great highways were au.
thorized 10 be built by congress.
Long before the lave were passed
authorizing the building of these
roads an act was passed April 30.
