How states and counties are
putting money in the pockets
of the farmers by investing in
the Improvements of public
roads is shown by a statement
just issued by the Office of pub
lie roads of the department of
agriculture. Definite cases are
cited in support Of the argu-
ment that where bad roads pre-
vail farmers are forced to move
their crops, not when the mar
ket price is favorable, but when
the roads are favorable.
Two farmers living in separ.
ate counties but at an equal
distance from the cotton mar
ket, learned by telephone that
cotton had advanced in price
81. 90 per bale. The farmer liv-
ing on a bad road responded
by hauling one bale of cotton,
which was all he could get ov-
er the unimproved road, while
the other farmer was able to
haul four bales, owing to fav-
orable road conditions. The
rise in price gained a profit Of
$500 to one man and $1.OO to
his neighbor.
1t is shown in the statement
that it is common for the farm
er to find that he cannot haul
his produce to market when
prices III highest, because the
roads are impossible. When
the roads become passable, the
time for market has largely
passed and produce is compel
led to move in masses, which
frequently gluts the market
and breaks the prices.
Excessive fluctuations in
market prices are seldom due
to over-production. They fire.
quently take place in regions
where the local production does
not equal the annual consump-
ton. There are counties rich
in agricultural possibilities,
burdened with bad roads, where
the annual income shipments

going shipments in the ratio of
four to one. Many such
counties with improved roads
could not only become self
supporting. but could ship
products to other markets..
