National Highways Are of Little
Use to the Farmers of
a State.

the American Road congress IN At
lanta will tend to stimulate the good
roads movement IN all of the south
ern states. As soon as the present
business depression, growing out of
the effect Of the European war on
the market for cotton, has passed
away, as IT surely will, and when the
onward progress OF the south has
been resumed, one of the ways in
which II VIII be manifested will be I'm
greater activity in road building
when road Improvement is taken
up in any immunity it is important
that 1t be- started right and ] shall
venture TO speak to you briefly on
what, | think, Is one Of the most I'M
portant matters that must be decided
before actual work can be COM
mcnCed That is the selection of tho
road 10 be improved.
1T Is almost invariably true that
the community cmbarklug on a policy
of highway Improvement is not fuan-
cially able to rebuild all Of its roads
at one time. Those in charge of its
road policy must decide which of the
roads shall be improved at once and
which shall be left for the future. The
enswer must be found In the peculiar
needs Of each community.
