The Chief Benehciaries
Of Improved Roads.

1t is becoming a trifie tireSome that
at these hard roads talfests the
farmer is continually held up as the
principal beneficiary. The farmer is
a mere incident These talks should
be addressed more to city people, I'M
less it can be shown that the farm
er is acquiring the automobile habit.
-Palatka News.
No one may question the fact that
the introduction of automobiles has
given wonderful impetus to the
construction of good roads. But to
say that "the farmer is a mere in
cident" with respect to their econ
omic value is altogether illogical.
The farmer is necessarily the
principal beneficiary" of good coun-
try roads, although in the past the
truth has not often come home to
him with sufficient force to arouse
him to action in order to secure them.
Of course it is great pleasure to
drive in a swiftly moving machine
over a smooth, hard road. but plea
sure cannot be regarded as the
chief end of life and the really great
value of good roads is the saving of
time and wear and tear of stock and
vehicles employed by farmers in
moving their produce to railway sta
tions for distant transportation or to
neghboring cities for purposes of
trade.
Surely, it requires no argument to
prove so self-evident a proposition.
Some months ago The Journal printed
statistics. showing an immense an
nual saving to farmers located near
good roads in comparison with those
compelled to haul their crops over
unimproved highways. That much of
the Improvement in roads is due to
the efforts of automobilists and 9th
eTs who reside for the most part in
cities is undoubtedly true, but no peo-
pie should be as devoutly grateful for
the Improvement as those engaged in
agriculture.

County Exhibits at
The November Fair.

The Journal publishes the following
from The Foley, Ala, OnlOoker as a
spur to the ambition of those who are
hibit for the Tri-County Fair:
It now 4ooks like the real contest
at the Tri-County Fair for agricultural
honors will be between this county
and Santa Rosa county, Florida, and
as Santa Rosa is making a strong eff
fort to win it might be well for the
growers to prepare TO supplement
their present exhibit with their best
shortly before the Pensacola event
and thus do what they should do, THAI
is, carry of the first honors on all
agricultural products. Lack of trans
portation facilities will to a great eX-
tent cuTtail our stock and poultry
exhibits so its up to us to make a
specially good showing in agricultural
products, as all who see an excellent
exhibit in this line are well aware
that stock and poultry will thrive
where there is plenty of feed stuffs-
No one may question the belief that
both Baldwin and Santa Rosa coun-
ties will make a splendid showing at
the fair They have the goods and
will take pride in showing them
especially when placed in good natur-
ed competition. But The Journal is
inclined to believe that The OnlookeT
and its readers have a surprise il
store for them, and that the placid
assurance of the former may
receive a jar when Escambia's
products fall under their obser-
walton. We make no vain boast f;
we do not claim the world, but we do
know that if this county's display
thoroughly covers its productions even
the people of the Deep Water City
will be treated to an agreeable eye
opener.
