What The Farmer Pays
For Hauling Crops,


hauling crops from farms to
shipping points that ought to be
of much interest TO the farmers
of the South, and of especial in
terest to the farmers of Georgia,
since it shows that the cost to
the latter is greater than that to
the farmer of about any other
Southern state. Practically all
of the hauling from farms to the
railroad stations or market is
done by the farmer themselves,
hence the farmer who can do his
own Transporting at least cost is
the one who takes largest profits
from his products. For instance,
the average cost Of hauling
bale of cotton in Georgia is 70
cents, while in Tennessee, with
a slighter longer average haul,
the cost is so cents. The aver
age haul in South Carolina is
nearly l Il miles greater than in
Georgia, yet the cost in South
Carolina is / cent per 100 pounds
less than ia Georgia. The same
is true with respect to North
Carolina as compared with Geor-
gia. Oklahoma hauls two miles
further than Georgia, yet does It
as cheaply.
The average weight of a load
of cotton in the South Atlantic
is 1872 pounds, or just frac-
ton over three bales, the hauling
of which cost in Georgia IA cents
per 100 pounds. The average
weight of load of wheat for the
whole wheat raising section is
1928 pounds, hauled practically
the same distance that Georgia
hau1s her cotton (9.1 mile and
the cost is is 9 cents per 100
pounds. The Dakotas haul
wheat twelve miles for 10 cents,
IOregou eleven miles for 9 cents,
Michigan seven miles for 8 cents
| Nebraska nine miles for cents,
and SO on.
Some other comparisons Of
cost per 100 pounds for hauling
from the farm to the shipping
point are as follows: Corn-Geor-
gia 18c, North Carolina II, Ohio
6, Illinois g, Iowa 7. The average
in the North Atlantic division IS
7 cents and in North Central 9.
Fruits-Georgia 10 cents. New
York s, California 10, Florida IL,
MARYLAND 6 Delaware O.. Hay
Georgia IS cents, Kentucky 9,
New York s, California s, South
Dakota e, Tennessee 10, South
Carolina II, North Carolina Il,
Oa(s-Georgia II, Virginia 9,
kentucky Is, Tennessee 10, Tex
as 10, Maryland g, New York 9
Rice Georgia %, South Caro-
lima IS, North Carolina q, Texas
u, Louisina 9. Vegetables
Georgia %, Florida II, North
Carolina -, New York 7, New
Jersey s.
Do not these figures make it
plain that it is about time for
our farmers to awaken 10 the
Ivalue aud economy of goo d
roads? The figures do not repre-
sent railroad or steamboat char
ges, but the cost TO the farmers
of hauling their products with
their own teams from the farm
to the places of shipment or dis
posal. The higher cost to Geor-
gia farmers over the cost to far"
mers of the states we have nam.
ed aggreg ates probably tens of
thousands and maybe hundreds
of thousand of dollars each year,
which is the toll they are paying
for the privilege of retaining bad
team-killing country roads
and hauling small loads over
them. During the past several
years North Carolina has been
working out an elaborate system

this is the case. the fruit bearing trees
which will be found best adapted to
highway conditions are the apple and
the pear for some localities.
Apples may be planted in all that
part Of eastern United States north of
the Carolinas and in the Appalachian
region even south Of that section. West
of these mountains the apple Will serve
as far south as the gulf states and

are the hickory. the walnut and the

south as Georgia. At this point the
distribution of these nut trees should

The hickory win not thrive in northern

or in the Dakotas.
The black walnut, however, may be
planted over the southern part of Min
ncsota, eastern South Dakota, eastern
Nebraska and Kansas.
Personally | believe that as a rule
T. would be better to select long lined
shade trees than to attempt to COM
hiue fruit production with shade and
beauty.
The following list of shade trees
would in my Judgment, fulfill the re
uuiremcnts better than the fruit and
nut list:
Elns are desirable, but do not give
rs dense canopy rs do the NAPLES.
In New ENGLAND ana the middle states
the sugar maple is one of the most de
Sirablc and extensively used shade
trees. If a shade more dense than
that given by the sugar maple is de
sired. the Norway maple may be plant
ed instead. 1t has LONG been considered
one of the finest shade trees we have
about Washington From Washing
ton southwark to the Garolinas vari-
ETY. of shade trees may be employed,
such as the silver maple, which is per-
hans the least desirable of the maple
family. The sycamore has natural
distribution throughout this whole ter-
rit0rv and is hardy and beautiful The
oaks offer Il number of good shade
trees. although some grow slowly. In
this family the red oak the willow
oak and the pin oak are all desirable
for roadside use outside the territory
in which the live oak thrives.
In my Judgment there IS no tree
which compares with the live oak for
shade and ornament in regions south
of the northern latitude of Carolina.
This tree might be used to the eNclu-
sion of every other throughout the
southern part of the United States, be-
cause it is typical of that region.
For California the pepper tree will
perhaps supcrsede everything else as 1
roadside tree. while in Florida the
