my mind, the key to the economic saliva

culture and so much more comfortable

there would OF necessity follow in the
wake OF road improvement the solution
OF the problem of the dwindliug farm
population. We should encourage our
young men to form partnerships with
nature by becoming farmers. The
quickest and most profitable way to dot
Is to give the peonle the best roads that
can be provided.
For BETTER AGRICULTURAL CoNDITIoNs.
In this connection would call atten-
ton to the fact that 10 years following
the census OF 1900 the population of the
United States Increased q per cent, but
the number of farms did not keep pace
with this increase in population. Meas
ured by the number of farms agriculture
exhibits diminished rate of increase,
and IN large areas of the country are
practically stationary. Yet, notwith-
standing this fact, there has been an in
crease OF IVA percent in the value of all
land IN farms. The average value OF
farm land per acre increased, during the
ten years period indicated, l0S. per
cent. In this connection it is interesting
to note that there has. been mnch more
rapid increase in urban than in rural
