The average old-time farmer was prone to look
upon bad roads as necessary evil. He realized
In sense what a detriment they were to his In
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not see any way out of the dtemma-at
least not without more work than he could AFFORD
to give Then along came the United States gov
.ernnlent when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced, and declared that these rural mali
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not In fair condition This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation, Tor
every rural home prizes the boon OF a daily mail
delivery. And, at about the same time the farm
aers who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question, found, as they
looked closes, that bad roads meant hole In the
pocketbook of every tiller Of the soil. It began
to be realized that If farmer required the sery-
ices OF four horses and an entire days time to
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was just as serious as though he had
to accept very low price for the yield or his
acres Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer in behalf Of better roads.
One Of the best things accomplished for the
farmer by good roads is that It has broadened
his markets With rocky or muddy highways en-
forcing slow progress the average farmer was IN
the old days restricted to one market town-the
one nearest his farm Now with good roads he
can in q shorter interval than was formerly re-
CURED reach any one Of several communities To-
Gated In different dlrect1~1<e. his enables hin
to attain the market where he can get the best
prices Similarly with good roads the farmer is
not likely to be so restricted to one railroad for
shipping facilities. II the road nearest his farm
will not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress BIZ
driving across the countryside to rival line.
And the very fact that the introduction OF good
roads is destroying such monopoles has served
to render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients.
The new countrywide Highway Improvement
association which is to hold its first annual con-
eress in the near future will not seek to drive out
or supplant the various good-roads associations

that have been organized all over
the country and many of which are,
as has been said. doing an excellent
work within more or lesA local
sphere. However, the new national
institution is designed to serve as q
clearing house that will pass on all
good roads schemes wherever they
may originate and that will seek fo
bring together all the various locaf
associations, harmonizing their aims
and policies where in the past they
have too often been working az
cross. purposes.

4 Good Roads Week" is going to be held in con-

American Association for Highway Improvement
which will be held at Richmond, Va, and will be-
addressed by. many Of the most prominent men
In the country This national organization will.
Of course be much in the public eye in this con-
nection but 1t is only one of scoresao of associa-
tons great and small that have been helping in
this cause There are state organizations and
county organizations and even township organi-
sationD all over the country that have been sup.
porting our national, state and municipal govern
ments in whatothey have been doing for better
roads and the results attained prove what can be
accomplished when q large number of people who
are very much In earnest set out to all pull to-
gether. toward desired goal.
A good many people who have not looked very
deeply into the subject have gained the idea that
the motorists are more largely responsible than
any other class of people for this dawning era OF
good roads Now, it would not be right to dis
parage what the autonobilists have done. which
has been considerable In one way or another, but
In the interest of the truth 1t must be pointed
out that the one factor supreme In influence for
better roads has been the wide-aWake farmer TO
be sure 1t Is fact, and mighty significant one,
that the largest and most powerful corporations
IN the country business interests such as our
biggest railroads and the steel trust and the
Standard Oil corporation--are working energetic
ally with the new American Association TOR High
way Improvement because they realize that any
thing that will help the condition OF the country
at large will help their business. At the same
time 1t Ia the farmer class that are supplying the
backbone Of this movement just as they are OF
every other big movement affecting rural condi-
lions and have been from time out Of mind
II is Just as we'll to admit right here, too, that
the average farmer who Is going IN hard Tor the
cause of better roads Is not devoting bis time and
his labor to the project any fanciful sentiments
al basis Qf course 1t contributes to his pride to
see his farm bounded or bisected by splendid
road and he is gratihed that the good folk who
no past hts door pleasure riding should have an
eaav pathway. but the great underlying impetus
IL found in the need OF good roads to enable the
farmer to market his produce conveniently and
economically.

In road building there is the circumstance OF the
tremendous size OF Uncle Sans domain. No

good roads when half or two-thirds as many peo-
