ONE PHASE on THE COOP ROADS
QUESTION.

A good roads expert has meas
used the time 1t takes to haul ton
"A mile over the average road OF
France, which has the best roads,
and the time ii takes to perform
the same feat over the average road
OF the United States Using the
value of the farmers time and the
wear and tear on vehicles as his fac
tors, he computes that it costs l3c
per ton per mile to haul load over
the roads of the United States. Civ
ing that calculation a local applica-
ton, we should guess, flattering our
selves with the assumption that ours
are as good as the average in this
country, that the badness of our
roads costs the average farmer $3.50
year III this way alone
But although that amount, If con-
tributed by every farmer, would
more than pay the cost of making
our roads as good as the best of
France, the factors chosen to make
the calculation, while they may be
the only ones that can be used with
anything like precision, produce a
result that falls very short OF show
ing the full value of good roads, or
rather the loss occasioned by bad
roads.
That time is money is true of no
one more than it is of the farmer.
But the full tax of bad roads is not
TO be found by striking the difference
between the time it takes to traverse
good road and bad one. The bad
road-at least the average one in
TeXas--is made impossible by few
days of rain. If it were passable
the farmer could use for marketing
time which can be put to very little
if any use on the farm. Not the
difference of time between good
road and a badoroad, but the whole
time it takes to go to and return
from town is nearer measure of
the loss entailed cy bad roads
But of course there are other fac
tors than the value of a farmers
time, and these make even stronger
argument against bad roads One
of these other factors is the fact
thai with bad rods farmer is usu-
allN shut out of his market during
a seSson of rainy weather handi-
cap ITO farmers of every kind, this
losJ is especially heavy on the farm
ef who sells produce as well as field
Props. He is kept out of the mar
ket while prices are high, and by
treason OF the accumulation of pro-
duce, is forced to dump his stuff on
a Nnarket that is glutted the moment
tho roads become pasable. The high
prices which the towns pay for pro
are paid to other sections, if not
indeed to other states; and if the
towns reeoup themselves by the low
prices which rule for a time after
the return of good weather, it is at
the expense OF tn farms who's edp
the expense of the farmers whose
only means of getting to town is a
bad road
The loss occasioned by this is
greater than the value Of the time
lost in travelling a bad road. Good
roads are absolutely Indispensable to
the full prpactice of the diversified
ton idea If a farm is to be any
thing more than a field; if it is to
be a field, a garden, "a poultry yard,
an orchard and a COW lot--and these
it must be if il is to be high-Class
farm--it is just as essential that the
farmer have good roads as it is that
the manufacturer of perishable
product should have easy and unin-
terrupted access to his market
