HIGHER COST OF BAD ROADS
Substantial Reasons Why Farmers
Should Get Together and Save
Cost Of Poor Highways.

The road that connects your farm
with the nearest town has more to do
with the cost of living. doubtless, than
you realize. Have you ever thought
that every product you sell and every
article you buy must be hauled over
the road; that your teams and vehicles
or your automobile must bear the
swear and tear" caused by a rough
road TO sell farm products or to bring
the necessities from the town.
The fact that your neighbor must
also pay the high cost of bad roads Is
all the better reason why you. he and
the rest Of the neighborhood should
get together and improve the road to
save some of this expense. What you
and your neighbors lose In hauling
farm products over bad roads would
soon build a good road and give you
quick and satisfactory service.
How long can you AFFORD such lossi
And when shall the road be improvedi

is done correctly 1t will last for num-
Der of years. The maintenance Of an
earth road, however, is a reverend
ing job. 1t is like milking the cows
and doing other chores, for the builder
knows that the work of maintenance
will have to be done over and over
again and can never feel that 1t is In
any sense permanent.
"For this reason the earth road has
a bad reputation. The trouble is not
so much with the material Of which
the road is composed as with our sys-
TEN or lack Of system Of management.
Other types of roads when treated as
we treat the earth roads are much
more expensive and serve the travelling
public little II any better. The vast
improvement that can be made on our
present earth roads by Intelligent d.
rection in their construction and main
tenance is little realized by the pub
lie, and the serviceability Of prop
erly maintained earth road is not ap-
preciated when compared with other
types Of roads as to cost of cOnstruc-
ton.
successful construction and main
tenance of any kind Of a road depends
upon the recognition by the public and
the builders of few fixed and funda-
mental requirements.
"One practical, well-paid road build
er should be made responsible for the
upkeep Of a certain section of road
and should be employed throughout
the year, his tenure of Office being
made dependent entirely upon the
character of services rendered. The
graded portion Of the road should be
elevated and crowned so that the wa
ter from every section Of the road
surface will flow into the side bitches"
