LOWER EXPENSE TO FARMERS
Good Roads Reduce Greatly Trouble
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 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, q
distance of 5000 miles," according to
a 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; 20 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 1t
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
agemen. 1t would be entirely practica-
BILE for the people to save themselves
on the two items Of hauling and adj
ministration the enormous sum of
$290, 900, 900 yearly. The railroads In
the United States carry about 900 900, :
600 tons of freight annually, and of
this vast tonnage at least 200. 000. 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 mill
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.
THE main cause of agricultural dis
tress," says the bulletin, - subject Of
perennial alarm to popular favorites,'
is not so much the wages of the work
ers or the infertility of the soil or the
prices of the products, but the enor-
nous drain of getting the stun to
market, the waste of the roads in the
wear and tear Of machinery, the sacri-
fee of teams. the inefaciency Of serv-
ice compelled by impossible highways.
Tributary to every market town or
railroad station there are what Mr..
Page calls zones of production
From the firat of these zones all prod
ucts can be delivered to market at .

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

traffic there may be developed.
1T has been demonstrated that as
the roads from the market towns have

increase of their business and CORE

ton and opportunities of the rural
population, larger prosperity Of the
individual farmer, greater trafhc for

ture is trying to deal through the

Despite the overwhelming victory
over the Athletics Saturday, Man
ager Rowland is still dissatisfied with
the work of the White SOx, and an
other shift in the batting order is on
for this afternoon, when Washington
is met in the first of a fOur-game
series. McMullin goes to the top Of
the list, then SchaIk, Ew Collins, John
Collins, Jackson, Felsch, Weaver
Ness and the pitcher will follow in
the order named.
McMulIin has been picking at bet-
ter balls to swing at than any man
on the team, and this sharpness Of
eye is responsible for his elevation
to the lead-Off role. Ness is being
put low to strengthen the attack in
that section of the order.
Ed Collins hit three in the pinch
Saturday, and two or three of the
other fellows poled their hits when
they counted. The swollen score,
however, was as much the fault Of
the Mack pitchers as of the Sox bat
tiers. The Hose were staked to so
many passes Luey cOuIdn I neIp make
runs.
Joe Benz pitched a fine game, and
is slated for regular duty. On several
occasions Joe stopped the aliOns
when they seemed on the point Of
scoring. The Butcher Boy is one Of
the most earnest pitchers Rowland
has on his staff, and can be counted
on to do his level best every time he
starts, no matter how the people
back of him perform.
Joe has pitched before Sox clubs
so long that he doesn't expect much
Of his backing.
