S3OO,OOO,OOO LOSS IS SEEN
Two Million Miles Of Unimproved
Highways United States--Farm-
ers Blamed for Condition.

There are 100000 farmers In the
something for the market" says the
American Highway association.
They have been described by DR. 7.
N. Carver, the Harvard university ex.
pert in economics who was engaged
last year by the department OF agri-
culture to draw plans for the organi-
cation OF rural community. as TEN
peramentally an independent, head
strong, individualistic class and,
therefore difficult to organize. That
they are difficult to organize is eyi
denced by the fact that there are
100000 miles OF unimproved public
roads in the United States over which
they must haul their products to mar.
kct at loss of approximately $780,
100000 every year, or about the total
assessed value OF property, real and
personal. in South Carolina That they
are independent OF good roads to
their own great loss is evidenced by
the enormous waste OF both money
and muscle in trying to do business
ent lack of interest in compelling their
representatives In legislatures and
congress to provide highways for their
service
Good roads are equally necessary
to both the production and distribu.
ton of farm products They are pre-
requisite. says Mr. Houston, secre-
tary OF agriculture. in his last annual
report. not only to economical produc.
tion and distribution. but to the pro
motion OF the broader life OF commu.
mites. The great need. obviously, is
for roads which will get products from
the farm to the nearest railway sta
tion. enabling the farmer to haul when
he cannot SOW or reap. and TO haul at
. lower rate. to transport his children
60 consolidated schools and to enjoy
comfortably his social enterprises
There can be, indeed. no such thing as
community life without good roads To
assure such life there must be ease OF
communication and transportation.
and. as Doctor Carver expressed Il.
as the characteristic evils OF urban
life grow out OF congestion. 80 do the
Characteristic evils OF rural life grow
out OF isolation. Except for few rare
souls, isolation means stagnation
AS a rule. town schools are better
than country schools because the
means of transportation. or the streets
and roads, are better In the towns
than in the country On the so-called
great highway between Washington
and Richmond there is stretch of
about fifteen miles on which in the
fall and winter farm wagons and auto.
mobiles sink to the hubs and traffic is
practically impossible, and this high.
way between the two capitals must be
Judged by the soft and not the hard
