accessibility of these.
In dealing with this matter OF in
creased farm values from strictly
economic standpoint, II has been
pointed out and II is worth remember
ing. that where farms have advanced
in value the advance is due essentially
TO decreased hauling costs. The ad-
vance in farm values. in other words.
measures partly the increased value of
the farm as a plant for the business OF
farming That increment Of value
which is due 70 those things that are
described as social advantages or i'm
proved social conditions has no nu-
merical measure.
When his road is improved the land
owner appreciates the Improvement
and frequently sets an increased value
upon his land. II is difficult, however,
to analyze the entire increment of
value which follows good roads. There
is no doubt that the cost of good
roads is met by some form of taxa
tion. which. in many instances. causes
the land owners TO add TO the selling
price of their land that amount which
they estimate the good road has cost
them in taxes.
This process is more distinctly OBJ
served in city property transfers,
where direct assessments for sewers.
sidewalks. and pavements are invari-
ably added to the original cost OF the
property. The important point that is
becoming more and more understood
by land owners is that good roads re
quire a considerable investment OF
capital. and furthermore that such an
investment is a paving one. Here are
a few instances OF actual conditions
which have been observed in various
parts OF the country.
In Lee county. Virginia. a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and
Jonesville. which he offered to sell
for $500. Two or three years age
this road was improved, and although
that farmer fought the improvement
he has since refused $4,000 for his
farm. Along this same road trac,
of lSS acres was supposed to have
been sold for $4,000 The purchaser
refused the contract and the owner
threatened to sue him. After the road

In Jackson county. Alabama, the

for road improvement and improved

census gave the value of all farm

EXHIBITION OF ROAD MODELS
Greatest Display Ever Shown In Any
Part OF World viii Be Seen at
San Francisco in 1915.

Arrangements are to be made by
the United States department of agri-
culture. through Logan Waller Page,
director of the office OF public roads,
10 place on exhibition in 1915 the
greatest collection OF road models ever
displayed in any part OF the world.
The models will furnish exact dupli-
Gates of the old Roman roads. French
roads. and all OF the various types OF
modern roads. together with miniature
models OF road machinery operated
by electricity.
The Office of public roads made an
exhibit of road models for the first
time at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific ex-
position. The aim was to put on view
such striking examples in miniature
OF road models that visitors would
not only appreciate the beneficent eff.
fects of improved highways. but would
at the same time be able to under
stand the methods OF their construc-
ton.
Since the Alaska ka-Yukon-Pacitic e1-
position closed, the exhibition has
been displayed at various other expo
sitions and fairs. Since that time the
collection has been grestly augmented.
until every single type OF road Is
now represented and every known
device used in the making of roads
has been reproduced in miniature.
AS a result OF the instruction fur
nished by these road models. many
farmers have Joined forces to improve
their own highways, and the road
building movement has had a great
impetus.

COST OF ROAD MAINTENANCE
Test In Southeastern Nebraska Shown
Satisfactory Work Can Be Done
for Less Than so Per Mile.

tBy C. F. CHASE, North Dakota Asrs-
cultural College)
Al the home farm IN southeastern
Nebraska there is a stretch of land
one-half mile in length that we have
dragged for seven years. Only once
during this period has this road been
worked with anything but drag. Two
years ago the side bitches were
cleaned with the common road grader.
A careful record of the time taken
to drag this road has been kept Two
trips Tor one man and one team requir-
ing one hours time for single drag
ging is the basis taken. The first year
we dragged it 10 times, the second 13,
the third II, and the fourth IL and the
fifth il times OF II draggings of one
hours time in five years. This is 80
cents al hour for man and team is
$4-26 year for the one-half mile. For
mile it would be 1882 annually. An
other road in the immediate vicinity
cost less than SO per mile annually
A case is noted in Public Roads Bulle-
tin No as, United States department
of agriculture, where the cost of sim
liar maintenance of roads in Arkansas
was Sll per mile. State Engineer
Gearhart of Kansas puts the range of
cost for dragging at from 81 to $40.
The cost for North Dakota should
not cost more than $40 a mile, while
in most cases it would be much less.

of the soil. the rainfall, traffic and

The national Office OF public roads
recommends the patrol system com
bining dragging. The Nebraska legis-
lature passed law that is not unlike
the patrol system. The substance OF
the Law is as follows:
The graded roads in each county are
to be divided into road dragging dis
tricts by the county boards One per-
son to each township is to be ap-
pointed superintendent Of dragging,

WATER APPLICATIONS TAX
PROJECTS CANALS

Many applications are being receiv-
ed for additional water under the
Montrose and Delta canal. As the
capacity of this canal is taxed to the
utmost in furnishing water to those
who have used it in past years, it will
be impossible to furnish any addi-
tional water except in a very few
exceptionally meritor'ous cases.
This condition will exist until such
time as the Ironstone canal is either
enlarged ar paralleled. The Montrose
and Delta Canal was enlarged in 1909
to provide water for all lands above
the Ironstone canal. During the past
year about IS second feet of Montrose
and Delta canal water was used on
land lying below the 1ronstone canal.
When this land is provided with water
from the new system, the So second
fleet will provide water for all the idle
land under the Montrose and Delta
canal.
