BAD ROADS AFFECT TRANSPORTATION.
100 bushels each, besides other crops.
AS a result of the sale of this 1914
crop probably 30O.O00,00O was placed
in the banks of Kansas. Yet all of the
marketed portions of these products
had to be transported over our high
ways for distances varying from one
to forty or more miles. Just reflect
100000 wagon loads of wheat, 2,000,-
600 wagon loads of corn. 100000 loads
of oats and $4,000 automobiles over our
roads,
Not only does the condition in which
these roads are kept affect the labor
and cost of marketing crops. but it has
much to do with the cost of production.
Good roads will enable the producer to
make the necessary trips for supplies
and repairs in the shortest possible
time when time is important and ena-
BILE him to do these things, as well as
market his crops, when his fields are
not in workable condition. which indi-
rectly adds to his productive capacity.
From these statements. the proof of
which is self evident. we get the log
ical deduction that good roaGs reduce
the cost OF production and marketing
and increase returns by enabling the
sale and delivery Of products when
prices are the most attractive and
when time lost from the fields is OF
least value.
To this material. tangible value
should be added better social condi-
tons, better educational facilities. bet
ter living. better everything that goea
to make lie worth while. Do we ye;
fully comprehend the indirect toll that
is paid becalse of bad roads? Do we
fully realize the annual loss through
inability to market crops when l1rit e
are best, the less in time and eHcr~r
