Several .other measures, some of
them of a constructive nature, are
pending in such position that they re-
quire the vote of only one house to
pass. Some of them will get through,
others will drop by the way. The house
calendar is choked, with senate bills,
only small portion of which will ever
get to a vote.

is THE FARM HAND WELL
PAID?

In the current issue of Farm anC
tlreside contributor says that man,
farmers decline to pay farm hands the
wages they ask, so they nearly work
themselves into the grave. raise fewer
crops. and, consequently, miss many
opportunities which might bring them
in larger income. He goes on to say:
Good hands that will do a good day. s
work without watching are scarce, and
when they demand good or even high
wages give it to them. A poor or care
less hand is both loss and a vexation.
Suppose the hired man does make a
little money why shouldn't he? Ifhe is
sober and trustworthy he is entitled to
The honest dollar.
II you want good hands you must
1ay the price, and try to give them
work in winter also.

HOW GOOD ROADS PAY .

The Department of Agriculture has
been getting together some telling data
on the good road subject. Where
communities build good roads in place
of bad ones. the increased value and
productiveness of the lands Immediately
more than pays for the Investment.
Here are some cases.
In Lee county. Virginia, a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and
Jonesville, which he offered to sell for
$500 In 1908 this road was improved,
and although the farmer fought the
improvement, he has since refused
$4,000 for his farm. Along this same
road tract of lSS acres was supposed
to have been sold for $4,000. The
purchaser refused the contract, however,
and the owner threatened to sue him.
After the road improvement, and with
out any Improvement upon the land, the
same farm was sold to the original
purchaser for $4,000.
In Jackson county, Alabama, the
people voted bond issue of $3.50, 600
for road improvement and improved "a
per cent. of the roads The census of
1900 gives the value of all farm lands
in jackson county at $3.50 per acre.
The selling value at that time was from
Sc to $15 per acre. The census of 1910
places the value of all farm lands in
Jackson county at 1919 per acre, and
the selling pnce is now from $l5 to S25
per acre. Actual figures of increased
value following road improvements are
shown
Commenting on these and many other
cases, the Department assumes that
roads add to land values IN proportion
as they make farms more productive
by reason of easier access. In this
regard, of course, the Department is in
error. Good roads make is easier to
live in the country; easier to farm;
easier to have neighbors; easier to use
church and school In short, good
roads contribute to land values very
much more on the social than on the
merely industrial side. That's the side
that needs development. The in
dustrial side of country life takes care
of itself very well nowadays; if its
social side would keep pace, there would
be little occasion to worry about the
rural life problem. Roads are worth
vastly more for their contribution on the
social than on the industrial side.

SHORTAGE OF HE FRuIT CROP.

Not in many years has there been
such shortage of the fruit crop as this
season. The winter and spring weather
was such that in all sections, or most
sections, fruit was ruined or the yield
cut to a small fraction of the ordinary
and to-be-eXpected output.
This gives an exceptional opportunity
for the new bureau of markets in the
Department of Agriculture to render
service. Let it learn where fruit is to
be had and where the markets are that
most need it; let it advise the producers,
the buyers, and the public generally.
This is practical work, in which much
can be accomplished to ameliorate bad
condition. 1t seems to be exactly the
sort of function that the market division
was designed to perform.
