SAVES FORTUNE FOR FARMERS.
Rural Free Delivery Worth Sf1.
Yearly to Each Patron-Investi-
cation Reveals That Value Of
Farm Hands Ii Enhanced by the
Mail Service.
Washington Times. !

<N@h ONhSAtNs
Washington Times
While much has been said and
written of the benefits-material, So
cial, and otherwise-that have ac-
crued to farmers by the introduce
ton OF the rural delivery mail sys-
TEN, only casual mention has been
made of the money values Of
the material benefits, and, indeed,
the Department has never made any
computation of such values.
The inconceivably enormous sum
represented by but one OF the ele-
ments comprising the material bene-
fits conferred by rural delivery may
be contectured from the computation
contained in a statement submitted
TO the Postoffice Department by J. Fl.
McClintock. postmaster at Phoenix.
Arizona.
There are four rural routes out OF
Phoenix which traverse the rich Salt
Tiver Valley of Arizona. and Mr.. Nc
Chntock says that, at a valuation
OF "a per day for a farmers time
and team, the time consumed by a
farmer coming to town once a week
for his mail, and using half a day
TO: that purpose, and spending each
trip Is cents for cigars and other
triffes, represents a loss of $2.25
each trip, or annual loss of SIT.
Upon this basis Postmaster McClin-
took considers that there is an an
nual saving of $101,790 to the $40
farmers who are served by rural de-
livery from his Office.
Assistant Postmaster General De
Cav says he believes that Postmas-
ter McClintock's estimate represents
a conservative average saving to
each head of family served by rural
delivery. and that if applied to the
100000 heads of families now be-
ing served in the United States
would represent an annual saving to
them of about 100000.
There are other savings and ma
terial benefits resulting from the es-
which brief reference may be made.
It Is shown by reports which have
been received at the Postoffice De-
partment that since the Introduction
of rural delivery the value of farms
on rural routes have increased in
some instances as much as As per
cent, and that the average increase
in such farm values has been Is per
cent.
A good portion of this increase
value has Is directly attributable to
| rural delivery, and represents an
other enormous sum of money. Fur
thermore, by reason of the fact that
patrons of rural delivery now re-
ceive daily market reports, and
| newspaper advertising bargains in
| commodities, they are enabled to get
the highest market prices for their
farm products and pay the lowest
prices for the necessities which they
, require. The gain and saving thus
! effected must be very large, and the
| total amount of the money value OF
the material benefits conferred on
patrons of rural delivery embraces
an amount of such vast proportions
as to be wholly beyond comprehen-
| sion.
A member of the House of Repre-.
sentatives, who has made a study OF
the benefits derived by farmers
through the agency of rural delivery
has submitted figures to show that
in his opinion the increase in realty
values due to that service aggre-
gates at least $75O,000,O00.
