ATTRACT FARMERS TRADE.
Way to Do 1t Is to Have a Good Road
From His Farm to Town.

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 it is always several days after
rain before the roads are passable.
But during this rainy weather nei-
ther can the farmer work in the field
If there was a 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 60 half that distance over
bad roads to a closer town.
Rock roads cost about $4,000 mile
The road district extends three miles,
making benefit district of 960 acres
on each side. or total of 1920 acres
to the mile. In some states the town
ship pays one-fourth. leaving $4,000 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 reduction of cents on
every 500 Of valuation.
In other words. rock road can be
built for not to exceed II cents per
acre for ten years. As the average
farm contains 100 acres. 1t means
1920 per year for ten years for each
farmer. 1t is evident to any one that
land on a rock road is worth $25 to $50
per acre more.
The drag IS successful when persist
emily used Commercial clubs in a
great many towns give the farmers
free drags and offer substantial cash
prizes for the best half mile stretch OF
dragged road.
Good roads are necessity TO your
business and an economical necessity
to the farmer. You can afford to give
valuable time and effort to promoting
good roads.

be built to meet the needs and the
demands Of travel coming upon them
it follows that all the roads should not
be rocked. graveled or oiled. neither
should all be of earth Many of the
states have such diversity Of road
making material that no one method;
or plan of construction il adaptable IN
all parts of state. and plans must
frequently be varied over one county.
In one section rock construction is
best. in another gravel and in still
others sand-clay or ebert. A special
feature in some counties is the well
dragged earth road. while III others
concrete or masonry in culverts or
bridges may be preemfnent 1t is
necessary for the highway engineer to
study the field and choose the methods.
plans and materials adaptable to the
locality
Organized. systematized work pre-
vents waste. Well organized. system
atical work is impossible without com
petent and trained supervision. Train
ed supervision is the correct principle
with which to carry on any business
Regular might be substituted for
trained because II a road official is
found to be suited for the work and Is
retained regularly at his work he be
comes trained or skilled road man.
A capable man in such an Office will
see that the work is done right. pro
tect the county against unscrupulous
contractors. open the road drains and
prevent the roads from being used for
artificial farm drains
After they are built good roads must
be taken care of. One great defect in
our road work is the lack of mainte-
nance-more correctly. the lack of a
proper system for maintenance Traf
&c and the elements are continually
tearing the roads down. and we must
be continually building them up.
Any kind Of road gradually wears
out. and this loss must be replaced or

Nut trees. like walnut. pecan or

To insure success in planting trees
care must be taken In their selection

they are to be planted, Some varieties
like the oak. locust and cottonwood
will grow in any soil, while the elm
