LOCATION is OF IMPORTANCE
Most Farmers Would Rather Live Six
Miles on Hard Road Than Three
on Muddy One.

From study of $50 farms in john
son county Of that state the Missouri
experiment station concludes that To-
cation is more important tl.an crop
yield as factor In land values. Here
are the figures: Seyenty-nine farms
within two miles of market averaged
in value $3.50 per acre; 1873 farms,
two to four miles from market, 5000
per acre; 126 farms, four to six miles
from market, 5000; 113 farms, six
to eight miles from market, $500, and
149 farms, over eight miles from mar.
ket, averaged $3.50 per acre. An un-
mentioned but important factor is con-
dition of the road. Were these farms
located on hard roads or on dirt roads
inclined to be heavy in wet seasons?
Most folk would rather live six miles
out on permanent hard road than
only half as far on a muddy road. Let
us have more light on this interesting
observation-disclosures Review.

Profit of 1925 Per Cent in Wayne
County-Upkeep Is Less.

Money spent in road improvement
of the right kind is making a profit of
125 per cent year in Wayne county,
Michigan.
The county spent $2,GO00O0 on con-
structiOn and maintenance during the
eight years from 1906 to 1914, inclu-
sive, and in this period the assessed
valuation of property in the county,
outside of the city of Detroit, in
creased from S62, 707 600 to $114.54S,-
120, or S2.6 per cent.
OF this increase 80 per cent, or $22,-
100000 is credited to road improve
ment, because the assessed valuation
of Detroit increased only Az per cent,
The increase in county valuation
above the rate of increase in the city
was eleven times the cost of road
work, or 1000 per cent profit in eight
years on the total investment in i'm
proved roads.
More than 125 miles of concrete
road have been put down by the
Wayne county commissioners since the
county system was adopted in 1906
and the roads built with the 100000
