Nal,Ie If Good Roads,

One Of our most able writer's on rural
economics has said that he would de-
duct S. per acre from the price Of a
farm for every mile away from town
or shipping point. He has not put 1t
any too strongly, for the market and
facilities for marketing are large ele-
ments in the value Of farm. 1t is
variously estimated that a farm in a
locality where the roads are generally
improved is worth from $40 to $25 per
acre more than the same farm would
be worth n the roads were unimproved.
