POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Mistaken Idea That Improved High
ways Are Solely for Benefit Of
Automobile Owners.

Poor roads are very expensive things
for country communities. The farmer
who thinks that improved highways
are mainly for the benefit Of those who
drive automobiles should reflect on
the results Of a recent investigation by
the department Of agriculture, which
finds that the cost OF hauling farm
produce over ordinary country roads
is % cents q ton mile, whereas over
hard-surfaced roads It is only 10 cents.
