Timely Advice to Farrner
(Bclton Journal.)
By Ji,O. Il. Horton.

The farmers Of our country have
had SO much advice ven. offered
and poked at them they are sick and
tired. In most cases it comes from
people who know absolutely moth
Ing about The practical side of the
business. That is why it is Needed SO
little. Our country is, and has been.

land has suffered by far more than
any other part Of our country--and
why-because we had nothing TO

States is wrong. Look at>the price of

If you raise anything in excess of To-

Good Roads Department.
Proposed Bond Issue $75O, 600 Election to be Held
March 30, 1915.
Road Commissioned Provided in Act:

planned the entire county will feel the
benefits 'of the Improvement As Il
rule. main market rGHd; reach the ma
iority of producing areas, and when
they are improved. all land. values
tend to increase.
1.-The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside Of
their own limits is sometimes made
point Of debate in bond elections
1t is argued that because Il large part
OF the county wealth is within the
corporate limit OF such cities and
towns. highway bond money should al
SO be used to construct their streets.
1t is even urged that the expenditure
should be made prOportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
limits. II the proceeds or highway
pond issues were distributed in thi:.
way their purpose in mahy cases
would be defeated. The primary OBJ
J5ct Of the county highway bond issue
is 10 build county market roads. and
net 10 improve. City streets, although
high percentage OF the ASSESSED
'a.uat'ol may. be clty property. 1t is
now kncwn that the expenditure of
city taxes on country roads is a
sound principle, and that it is one of
the pest features uf State aid for
highways. In Massachusetts the city
Of Boston pays possibly 10 per cent
Of the total State highway fund, but
not mile of Statc-aid highway has
been built within its limits. New
York city also pays about 60 per cent.
OF the cost Of the State highway
bonds. Some State laws prohibit the
expenditure OF proceeds of State
highway bonds within corporate limits
OF cities or towns. The Improvement
OF market roads results In improved
marketing conditions, which benefit
the city. Most cities are essentially
dependent upon til, surrounding
country for their prosperity and de-
velopment. The development of sub.
urban property for residence purposes
IS also dependent upon highway con-
dltions. and it is becoming evident
yenrly that whatever makes for an
increase in rural population must be
encouraged. Since the introduction of
motor traffic. country highways have
oeen used to embarrassing extent by
city residents. In fact, the cost OF
maintaining many country highways
mas been greatly increased by the
presence of city-owncd motor vehicles.
The general advance Of facilities for
DONG country business from town
headquarters when roads are improy-
ed 1s no inconsiderable factor In the
