THE PENALTY OF POOR ROADS

The stormy winter from which just
emerging, and particularly the past month with it's
siege of heavy rains has taught many a Georgia
county Importance solidy built roads In those
districts where the highways we're we'll constructed,
traffic has gone in comparative despite the
seasons rigor but in others, where road beds were
carelessly thrown together neglected the people
have suffered sharp inconvenience, if not actual
hardship.
community's dependence upon its highways is
not fully realized until there arses.some such
gency as the past winter has brought about in divers
publics business and welfare especially in country
districts are conditioned very largely by the roads
An impossible roadway keeps the farmer from
town and the children from school 1t suspends social
and commercial activity and entails loss which, in
the long run, affects every interest and every citizen
of the community.
The good roads department of the University of
Georgia has received many requests within the past
few days assistance and advice in repairing high
way damage II is gratifying to note that in the ma
jority of such the counties have determined to
replace cheaply or hastily built roads with thorough
going methods and durable material In a number of
instances bond issues have been called for, the
farmers and merchants have united to raise funds
which the county authorities will supplement
The important is that poorly built roads
pay They costly we'll unserviceable
If county would make it's money count and get
due results ii should construct its roads in accord
ance with sound methods and, if possible under the
supervision of a competent highway engineer.

To Push Farm Credits Plan.

Governors from thirty-nine states
pledged themselves to an active
campaign for a comprehensive credit
system at a conference in Washing
ton with President Taft.
A committee Of nine executives
was named to draw up tentative
Iarm credit plan. from the reports
OF foreign credits system submitted
to them by Myron T. Herrick. A
merican ambassador to France.
Ambassador Herrick outlined
briefly the bond issue plan. which
he recommended for adoption by
this country. The system. he ex-
planned, consists of an association
of small state or land banks, whose
sole business was the issuance and
lands. These bonds secured by farm
lnads. These bonds have no fixed
date for retirement, but their aver
age Is thirty to seventy-five years.
The interest on the bonds averages
3 per cent a year, exclusive of the
cost of the bond issue.
Secretary Wilson told the govern
ors that the "land renter" who.
he said, usually was a man who
could not own a farm, was the
cause of the loss of prOductiveness
in the land. because of his slipshod
methods of farming.
