MORE THAN PAY THEIR COST
THAT is WHAT UNCLE SAM SAYS
ABOUT GOOD ROADS.
What Bad Roads Cost One Farmer
and Made for Another. Land Val
ues Materially Enhanced.


and Made for Another. Land VAL
ues Materially Enhanced.
The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
values and marketing prices, as well
as the general economic conditions OF
the community, is shown in several
concrete illustrations which were
gathered by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. In Lee county,
Virginia, a farmer owned 100 acres
which he offered to sell for 81 500.
In 1908 his road was improved, and
although the farmer fought the i'm
provement he has since refused 3d.
600 for his farm. A nearby tract OF
1888 acres is said to have sold for
$4,000. After road improvement the
same farm was sold for $4,000. In
Johnson county, Alabama, the people
voted a bond issue for S250,000 for
road improvement. The selling val
ue at that time was So to $15 per
acre. The selling price is now from
$15 to $25 per acre.
In another state two farmers liv-
ing at equal distance from a cotton
market learned by telephone that
cotton had gone up in price 800 a
bale. The farmer on the bad road
hauled one bale of cotton, which was
all he could get over that road. The
farmer on the good road was able to
haul four bales. The man on the
good road gained $4 by the rise in
price. His neighbor on the bad road
gained only one dollar. A farmer in
Sullivan county, Tennessee, had 100
bushels of Irish potatoes, which he
intended to market during the win
ter. Owing to bad roads he was una
BILE to haul the potatoes at all. They
rotted in the cellar. In the mean
time the price of potatoes at a mar
ket point went as high as S1.40 per
bushel
Terrell county has been building
good roads several years and knows
their value Especially in the past
twelve months much good work has
been done towards improving the
highways, and there are in the county
some roads as good as can be found
in the state.
