BAD ROADS, HIGH PRICES.
The Two Nearly Always Go Together
Why the Farmer Loses in
Marketing His Crops.

Men who have closely studied the
markets have observed that during
certain seasons of the year when the
roads have been particularly bad over
large area the prices of certain COM
modities have been affected, and have
risen In value in response to = de-
creased supply. In such case the
farmer able to put his produce upon
the market, when his neighbors could
not do likewise, has reaped the bene.
fits. It naturally follows then that
the better the conditions of the high
ways in certain locality the better
able are the farmers in connection
with such roads to realize on their
products.
Better roads will mean, in addition
t. the other conveniences, q balanc.
ing element for the market, says the
Prairie Farmer. II all of the people
are to benefit from the sale Of their
products, they must be able to have
access to the market equally at all
times. Otherwise the man most
favorably located On q good road will
reap the harvest. The telephone and
the daily paper aid the farmer in
keeping trace of the market, but this
Information will avail him little un.
less he is able to deliver his produce.
