Trade Follows Good Roads.

Heavy loads Of farm produce are
held up by bad roads, and the better
route is chosen for them sometimes
even when the market is not as much
to the liking Of the farmer as the n
offered by a city or town situated on
poorer highways. The important fact
about this is that the farmers usually
do their trading in the same place
where they market their crops, and
their trade is valuable to the mer-
chants Of any city.
