Ames, Aug. 14.--If Iowa wants any
practical demonstration Of the. value of
good roads 1t may find it in Newton
county, Indiana" said Dean Charles F..
Curtiss, Of Iowa State College, and also
director Of the Iowa highway commits
sion. Dean Curtiss has just returned
from visit to Newton county where
he spoke to an audience Of a thousand
farmers and stockmen at big farm
,ers' picnic at Kentland.
Newton county has $50 miles Of
rock surfaced highways" continued
Dean Curtiss. Il never saw better high
ways anywhere, and yet Newton county
Il not any better off as far as road
building material Is concerned than the
average county in Iowa. There Is not
a stone quarry In the county and un-
:derstand that the material for these
ESQ miles of highway was hauled from
100 to 200 miles. Newton county did
not delay its road building because it
had not the material at hand, but went
after the material and 1t went further,
l believe, than the average county in
Iowa would have to go. Newton eoun-
ty did not wait to build these roads,
but built them out Of local taxes with
some state aid.
Rural Life Transformed.
Newton county's rural life has been
wholly transformed because Of these
splendid highways. Good roads have
encouraged the consolidation Of schools
and the result is that rural children
have unusual educational opportunities.
Good roads have lessened the cost of
transporting grain and livestock to
market and therefor are saving the
farmers Of the county many thousands
Of dollars annually. These good roads
have stimulated social life Of the town
and for town people to go into the coun-
try. People in Newton county are now
encouraged to get away from home for
recreation where formerly bad roads
discouraged them. The traffic over
these highways is very large indicat-
ing that the people living near them
are getting more enjoyment out of life
than formerly.
Back to Farm Movement.
"These highways are doing something
else that is significant They are bring
Farmers who moved away from New
ton county because Of it's poor high
ways and poor schools and such factors
some years ago are now moving back
because Of the good highways and the
better schools. This moving back is
not confined merely to few farmers,
but is q large movement.
mo factor in the development Of the
improvement Of rural life in Iowa is OF
more Importance than the building Of
good highways, and the experience Of
Newton county, Indiana, proves that.
When will there be any check to the
enormous rush Of American people to
visit foreign countries, and their ex-
penditure of hundreds of millions of
dollars in foreign travel. Americans
will make it point to see America
first when we travel goaoi tao tao 40
first when we have good highways and
beautify our rural districts and not
until them"
