products after another must be elm
mated because of the prohibitive cost
of hauling, and beyond lie vast terri
tories that cannot be cultivated with
out the building and constant main
tenance of roads suited to whatever
traffic there may be developed.
1T has been demonstrated that as
the roads from the market towns have
been improved there has been a great
increase of their business and CORE
spending improvement in the condi-
tion and opportunities of the rural
population. larger prosperity of the
individual farmer, greater traffic for
the railroads, better supplies and low
er prices for the consumer. 1t does
not pay to raise crops that cannot be
marketed readily and cheaply. Mil
lions of dollars worth of field and or
chard crops have been utterly wasted
because of expensive and inadequate
facilities for marketing. This is one
of the hard problems with which the
United States department of agricul-
ture is trying to deal through the
greatest experts in the land, and they
have found that the building of good
roads is essential to the success of
their plans"

LOWER EXPENSE TO FARMERS
Of Transporting Crops to Market
Cause of Distress.

Before the war in Europe affected
the rates at sea it cost the American
farmer more to haul bushel OF wheat
nine and a half miles to the railroad
station for shipment than it cost the
buyer to ship the same bushel of
wheat from New York to Liverpool. a
distance of 5000 miles," according to
bulletin issued by the American
Highway association. "The average
cost of hauling ton of farm produce,
or ton of anything else, over the av-
erage country road is about twenty
three cents a mile; 10 years ago the
cost of the same service was II cents.
The cost of hauling over the railroads
Is less than one-ninth as much as it
was 60 years ago. The cost of hauling
by railroad has almost reached the
vanishing point: the cost of hauling
on the country roads has gone up as
the roads have gone down.
by careful calculation, Logan Wal
Ter Page, director of the United States
office of public roads. has reached the
conclusion that with wise and equita-
bic road laws and good business man
agement 1t would be entirely practical
BILE for the people to save themselves
on the two items of hauling and adj
ministration, the enormous sum of
$290.000,000 yearly. The railroads in
the United States carry about 100000
900 tons of freight annually, and of
this vast tonnage at least 100000, 900
tons are hauled over the country roads
to the railroad station or to the canals
for shipment. The immense volume
of mining products aggregating mil
lions of tons is not included in this
estimate. but only the agricultural,
forest and miscellaneous products
hauled by wagon over the public roads,
nor is the cost of hauling back and
forth between the farms and the mills.
