ADVANTAGE OF BETTER ROADS
State Engineer J. VI. Bliss Gives Some
Va|ueabla Information Regarding
The Saving Made By
Good Roads

The, Commissioner of Agriculture
and La Dor, MIR. r, T. Flint, has esti-
mated that the 1915 crop of wheat,
oats, barley, rye, fax, spelts, potatoes
ffAssdocorn ag aggregate 343, $50 900 bushels;
in addition to which he estimates that
2,leI, ,002 tons of hay were haryeted
From these estimates ], w. Bliss,
State Engineer has complied the fol.
lowing information concerning the
cost of marketing this crop, which is
of interest
The total number Of bushels of corp
as given above amounts to s,545, ,99T
tons, to which we must add the hay,
making a total Of 1912, ,999 ton of
farm products. The best information
, availa BILE shows that of this total ton
mage approximately 5000, 900 tons has
been or eventually will be hauled to
market over the various public roads
to the state, The L s. Department OF
! Agricultural estimates that in North
Dakota the average load is Sc bushels
Of wheat or its equivalent, amounting
to a trif1e more than Is tons, 1t would
take 1888, 332 trips with one wagon
or wagon train $4,000 miles in length,
or 40 wagon trains stretching across
the state from east to west to market
the 1915 crop.
The Z. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, in Farmers Bulletin 672, states
| that the average distance to market
for North Dakota is seven miles. Ac-
cepting this as being correct, the work
required to market the 1915 crop will
| be AZ, ,0C0, 600 ton miles, and assuming g
that Is cents is the average cost of
moving one ton one mile, the total
cost OF moving the 1915 crop from the
| farm to market will be s6, 300, 900, or
| just few cents less than $1,000 for
every man, woman and child iu the
state In other wordc, the total cost
of marketing is 2 : per cent Of the tota,
estimated value OF the entire produc-
tion for 1915, or 3s per cent of the
value of that portion Of the crop which
is sold, the estimated value Of the to-
