Agriculture shows the direct

proving by statistics gathered by

property along improved high
ways enhance instantly and con-
tlnually in value. 1t shows that
the percentage Of the improved
roads of the various States where
farm land is worth less than $50
per acre is 1.8 per cent; whereas
In the States in which the aver
age value Of farm lands exceeds
$2O per acre improved roads are
nine PEI cent. of the total mileage
1t Is shown that the building Of
a model highway connecting
with nearby market town has
caused farm lands to enhance
from fifty to five hundred per
cent.
