GOOD ROADS AND LAND VALUES.
What the real value OF good roads
in the way Of dollars and cents is to
a community through enhanced
property values has been the subject
of study by the ofiice Of public roads
and rural engineering Of the depart
ment OF agriculture during the past
months. The investigation has proved
that highway development has in
every instance caused an advance in
the farm properties coming within its
influence.
The increase in values in those in
stances which were recorded ranged
from SO per cent to so per cent In
Spotsylvania county. Va; from 6S to
1914 in Dinwiddie county. Va; 20 to
80 in Lee county, Va; 25 to 100 In
Wise county, Va; 9 to ia in Frank
lin county, N. Y; SO to 100 in Dallas
county, Ala; 25 to so in Lauderdale
county, Miss; and from 80 to 100 In
Manatee county, Fla. The estimates
OF increase we're based for the most
part upon the territory within dis
tance OF one mile on each side OF the
roads improved.
The estimates were based upon the
records OF sales OF real estate within
the districts investigated.

What happened after the girl got

Then, she told the police, he made

Opportunity Knocks

The visible supply of food stuff in
the world is lower now than ever be-
fore, considering population. Fifty
million producers of food are now en-
gagged IN the great war. These fifty
millions are now non-producerS yet
they must eat for an army "moves
on its belly" The price of food stuff
already high. is steadily going higher.
The law Of Supply and Demand con-
tlnues to operate.
Wheat and corn and other grain
and grain products are selling at a
steadily advancing figure. The best
authorities predict 81 wheat; So per
barrel corn and SIS hogs before
Spring, and meat animals of all kinds
will advance.
The visible supply is diminishing all
the time; hence high prices will con-
tlnue.
America has two duties, first to her
self and second to see that the world
is fed. We are the greatest neutral
Flower; the only great Agricultural
exporting nation not at war. There
is market at good prices for all the
food stuff we can raise for years to
come.
Every farmer is interested in max
ing each acre produce as much as
possible and the increased crop yields
from better methods of farming is
great. yet if We are to supply the de-
mand that is made on us and will be
made in the future, we must produce
more food per acre and the only way
to do this is TO first feed the soil. We
must feed the soil an economical and
permanent fertilizer for We must al
ways and continually try to increase
our yields for the days of congesLed
markets are past; there are hungry
people to be fed. The problem now
and for many years to come will be to
grow enough farm products to feed
the world. Even with peace declared
today, it will take years for the battle
destroyed agriculture of Europe to
get on its feet.
