to market their crops without paying out
all the profits for transportation.
No farm can do it's best without drain
age and no road can be built or main
tanned without drainage. Mr.. Marsden'
engineer of the Office of experiment sta
lions of the department OF agriculture
says that from 100000 to l,jU,0O acres,
not including the 100000 acres of swamp
and overfowed land, in the United States,
could be drained with profit under pres
ent conditions OF market facilities and
cultural methods, In North Carolina
there are 100000 such acres, of which
only about 5000 acres have been drained
In Alabama only about 1000 acres out of
800 900 needing drainage have been cared
for. In the West the same condition
largely obtains. The cost is inconsder-
able compared with the profits derived
from the proper drainage of the lands.
1t is not "A matter of guess work. Farm
crs who have drained their lands testify
that its value has been increased from %
to eco per cent. Mr.. Marsden cites the
North Carolina who drained y acres at
cost of $50, which now yields bale
of cotton to the acre. which at $50 the bale
would amount to 30.
But what would 1t profit the farmer
TO drain his land without good roads over
which to haul his cotton and other farm
products to market? The two things go
together The cost OF hauling over the
ordinary roads OF the country Is reckoned
at =, cents per ton per mile, or for the
immense tonnage thus transported about
$3.50 OOO, 900 annually. The cost Of hauling
over hard surfaced public roads would be
about l3 cents per ton per mile and the
saving would be immense something over
1900 600 900 the year; or about the value
of all the apples, beans, rice sweet po-
| tatoes, Irish potatoes and honey produced

ROADS AND FARM VALUES.
American Highway Association Seeks
to Better Rural Economic Conditions.

In his last annual report the secretary
of agriculture emphasized the intimate re-
lation OF good roads to both the produce
ton and distribution Of farm products.
"They are" he said, ''prereduisite not on
ly TO economical production and dstri-
button, but also to the promotion Of the
broader life of the communities" 1t does
not require arguments to prove it, The
visible evidence is in every community
where the roads have been improved
without good roads suited to the traffic
they must bear there can be no economy
in the handling Of agricultural products
from the field to the market, and every
dime or dollar expended in transportation
is tax upon every pound of stuff brought
out OF the soil. Millions have been wasted
on the public roads Of the country because
they have not been properly built in the
first place and have not been maintained
after construction. Something more. a
| good deal more, is required than the
| building of roads, and one of the most
impo,tant of the conditions to be consid-
cred is their proper drainage
| There are in the United States vast
areas of land that might be made pro-
ductive II they were drained effectively,
and through all these regions the build
iny of good roads ought to go hand i'm
hand with the drainage of the lands. An
obicct lesson of how the two things should
