COST OF HAULING WHEAT.

THE United States spend $1,000
900 a day on Its roads, and most of
the money Is literally sunk in
mud" says Logan Walter Page,
director Of the office OF public roads
at Washington. The farmer is the
man who needs good roads, declares
Mr.. Page, and the man for whose
benefit the government Is striving to
perfect simple but effective methods
of keeping country roads In condi-
ton.
The cost Of hauling load or
wheat from the farm to the ship
ping point Is often more than the
cost OF transporting that wheat from
the shipping point to Liverpool. Mr..
Page declares efficiency of the farm
team can be increased anywhere
from 20 to so per cent IL the road
repair and road building work in
the country is properly done.
Between $500, 100000 and ST.
0O,O0O,0O0 would be saved annual
ly In the United States If every state
would improve Its main highways
to the highest point of efficiency, I"
is one of the striking statements
made by Mr.. Page.
The improvement of the road In
creases the efficiency of the farm
er's transportation method, opens up
new country for local trade, wldens
the farmers horizon, brings general
prosperity to the local communities
and automatically raises the price
OF land he adds.

VALUE OF OUR HOP CROP.

Fsw people Ia G. out Of Grants
Pass know anything in regard to the
Importance OF the hop crop Of Jo-
serlline county. While this industry
has greatly fallen off during the last
few years; yet It still brings a rev.
enue that is considerable when we
take into consideration the present
price Of hops The hop picking sea-
son which closed some weeks ago,
gave employment to large number
OF persons and the pickers were paid
for their services something over
10000. A careful estimate by one
Of the leading hop men places the
value OF the hops this year $66,500.
This is on a basis OF 35 cents per
pound Much OF the crop has not
yet been marketed for the reason
that the indication are that hops
will go up to so cents and II half
the crop is held for this price the
increase will make II over $4,000.
Among the largest hop growers is
the firm of Cornell & Flanagan, and
they have decided to hold for bet
ter prices and quite a number of
others are doing the same thing.
The money that will come into the
country from the hop fields this sea-
son will help to make Josephine
county prosperous.
