IMPROVED ROAD ADDS VALUE
Good Highways Are Wise Investment, As They Bring Farmer Into Closer
 Touch With World

The department of agriculture is au- thority for the statement that road im- provement in Dallas county, Alabama, has added $5 an acre to the value of lands within half mile of the im- proved road.
 Good roads are wise investment. They bring the farmer into closer touch with the world, increasing his access to markets and his opportunity for joy of living, as well as adding value to his farm.

NEGLECT SEEN ALONG ROADS
Many Farmers Fail to Clean Up Strip of Land by Side of Road-keep
 1t Seeded to Grass.

It is surprising how many folk have not gotten around to sticking up the strip of land by the side of the road that belongs to them.
 That is a part of their domain clear to the center of the highway, and it is their right, as well as their duty to put it in the finest shape pos sible.
 It makes the farm look so much bet ter to clear out the old hedgerow and seed it down to grass.

GREATEST WASTE OF MONEYS
Proper Maintenance of Public Reads Is More Important Than Building
 Lax Methods Used.

(By F. B. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
 College, Fort Collins. Colo)
 The greatest waste of public moneys that is being committed today is in surfaeing our country roads and then apparently abandoning the same. No county that engages in real road building can afford to dismiss its workmen when the road has been con Structed.
 It rarely ever happens that the ini- tial work on the road Is done wisely.
