forget to emphasize what good roads
mean in the development of agricul-

While it is important to have good

ways stood still during the last five
years, while the counties with good

hardly be expected to try to maxi a
living on farms in communities
where they would have to bog. They
irefcr to cast their lots with com

Two years ago an investigation
was conducted to determine what
loss was sustained on account of bad
roads by farmers in the trade dis

showed that the total for 1911 was
s608.000. 1t is estimated that each
farmer lost $3.50 or s17O for each
acre under cultivation. This in
