Way to Do 1t Is to Have Good Road
From His Farm to Town.
When it's rainy, stormy weather busi-
ness Is slack. The farmers cannot
come to town because Of muddy roads,
and 1t Is always several days after a
rain before the roads are passable.
But during this rainy weather nei-
Their can the farmer work in the field.
If there was good road from the
farmers place to town 1t is certain
that the farmer would come to town
on days when it was impossible to
plow or cultivate
That's just one of hundred reasons
why you should work for good roads
Just as water follows the natural
course, so will the farmer travel ten
miles Of good roads to your town
rather than go half that distance over
bad roads to a closer town.
Rock roads cost about $4,000 mile.
The road district extends three miles,
making q benefit district of 900 acres
on each side, or total of 1920 acres
to the mile. In some states the town.
ship pays onefourth. leaving $1,000 to
be paid for by the farmers.
This means an assessment of only
$1.56 per acre Divided into ten year
payments this figures 16 cents per acre
per year for ten years. During the ten
years the farmers in the road district
are exempt from all road taxes That
amounts to a reduction of cents on
every 500 of valuation.
In other words, a rock road can be
built for not to exceed IL cents per
acre for ten years AS the average
farm contains 100 acres. it means
1920 per year for ten years for each
farmer 1t is evident to any one that
land on q rock road is worth $25 to $50
per acre more.
The drag is successful when persist
emily used Commercial clubs in
greet many towns give the farmers
free drags and offer substantial cash
prizes for the best half mile stretch of
dragged road
Good roads are a necessity to your
business and an economical necessity
to the farmer. You can afford to give
valuable time and effort to promoting
good roads
