Some More Thourhta

Last week In a little article headed
ga Thought" / mentioned the good
roads subject; knowing how near to
the heart of the agriculturalist that
subject comes feel disposed to talk
a little more with you about It
There Is an old saying you no
doubt have heard that Cline is Mon
ey." However true it may have been
when written it IS far more so now.
In the old days the farmer plowed
his ground with team of horses: con-
sidering a sixteen inch plow as a bles-
sing; it enabled him to break more
ground and plant a larger crop to
bring him more money. Today with
the same object in view he uses a
tractor pulling a gang Of plows. A
few years ago he hitched up the team
on Saturday, If he did not have a
spare horse, and went to town for
his supply of groceries for the next
week; today ne or his good wife
jump into a motor car and 90 to
market any time they REQUIRE some
thing for either the table or the
work. A few years ago the average
haul to market was twenty to twenty
five miles and required two DAYS to
make the trip; today the average
haul is but eight to ten miles away:
the time saved being an important
item especially during the rush sea
sons A few years ago the only way
of getting farm products to market
was by wagon; today the motor driv-
en- vehicle is coming more and more
into use, because of speed and in
creased capacity. All but going to
prove that time is rapidly coming to
be recognized as a factor to be saved
by the rural population as we'll as in
owns.
The average life of a wagon a few
years ago was about fifteen wears
shortened nearly five years by the
abuse 1t received on the roads of the
county. Reduced to dollars and cents
this one team alone meant a loss to
the farmer of $500 or S1.OO for
each user The same was true of all
road vehicles and to certain extent
farming implements that have to be
hauled from farm to farm or field to
field. The extent of the damage from
this source can only be estimated be-
cause of the varied conditions under
which they are operated.
Another source of loss and annoy-
ance OF the farmer, is the trespasser.
This party to get around a mud hole
in the road deliberately tears down a
piece Of fence and regardless of grow
ing crops drives through a field and
tears down another piece of fence
to get back to the road: This may
look an insignificant item to one
farmer but if all damage done in this
way in a state could be collected by
one person he would have a life an
nuity without further labor
Next week I will try to show you
what a brick road to your farm would
cost you and to state a few of the
benefits that would result
