presidential vote IN the great farming
belts Of the country. The Country
Gentleman recently contained an ed.
itorial that IS worthy to be read not
only by every farmer, but by every
citizen. II = az follows:
"The farmer is coming into his own,
not in one way only, but in many
ways. Take the matter Of legislation

The weekly news lulletin Of the
Department OF Agriculture gives the
following examples Of the effect Of
road Improvement on the price Of
lands:
In Spottsylvania county, virginia
a careful reco.d was made in 1910 Of
thirty.fve farms located on the road
selected for improvement. OF the sew.
en- farms sold N 1912 the prices ac.
tually paid show increases Of from 81
to 11G per cent. over the 1910 valua'
ton. The average value after the
roads were improved was SOS 20 per
acre, as compared with S17.31 pre-
vious To che Improvement. In 1918
four transfers Of farm land were on
the basis of Soil per acre. whereas
the properties were listed in 1910 at
only S13. 80 pcr acre. 1t appears that
the 1,451 acres sold in 1914 increased
in value S2S.5oo. or so per cent, or
from S24 4G to S4l.1O per acre.
In Dinwiddie county. Virginia, the
actual price of forty-three farms sold
or offered FOR sale from 1909 to 1914
ranged in price from SS.3S to S43.74
per acre before the roads were built
and from S24 10 to s73 GO per acre
after the roads were improved.
In Lee cOun.y. Virginia. study Of
eight tracts along the roads before
and after Improvement indicated that
these properties increased about 500
per acre, n about 20 per cent.
In Wise county, Virginia, study
Of eight representative farms located
on roads showed that they increased
in value from an average of $40. 08
per acre hefo:e improvement to SO. a
after the roads were improved There
were increases in valuation in other
sections # from $50 to 500 or even
500 per acre.
In. Franklil county, New York, the
| figures seem to Indicate that the
change from earth, sandy, and loan
roads to bitun!inous macadam was
followed by increases averaging So.
80 per acre or about 3O.7 per cent.
H. Dallas county. Alabama, careful
investigation seemed to indicate that
road Improvement has added at least
81 to each acre of land within a half
mile of improved roads. Tracts sold
at from IS to so per acre were sold
again after road Improvement at from
$50 to S25 per acre.
In Laudcrdule county Mississippi,
the total assessed valuation OF real
property outside of the city was 81.
T57 .54G. This irc eased in 1914 after
road improvement to S31S3. 500, or
1914 per cent. Local real estate men
place the Increase in land values on
account Of improved roads at from
% TO so per cent.
In Manatee county, Florida, care

ords Indicated that the improvement
Of roads has added from II to 1uC
per cent, rr Mt least SO per acre
to the selling price Of all lands with
