GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Instance Cited Of Virginia Community
Where Great Progress Has Been 90
Accomplished.

That good roads are closely related
to prosperity there is no question OF
doubt. Only few years ago this
section of Virginia had but one macad-
am road, one creamery, which went
to the wall, and u mere handful OF
pure-bred dairy cattle, writes c. &.
Conger, Jr., of Virginia in the Practi-
cal Farmer. One not familiar with
the many blessings good roads bring
about might wonder in what way good
roads would affect creameries and
pure-bred cows. Let us take, for In
stance, Rockingham county, and see
just what good roads did in this Sec
ton in the dairy business alone, to
say nothing Of the prosperity good
roads brought about in various other
ways. Previous to our good roads the
one creamery did some business dur
ing the summer months, when the dirt
roads were at their best, but business
dwindled to nothing during the winter
months because farmers could not get
over the roads to deliver their milk.
The creamery finally closed down for
the lack of milk. About this time a
mere handful of progressive farmers
began a movement for better roads,
calling a meeting at little village
centrally located In the county. The
attendance was good, and great deal
Of good roads" enthusiasm was
iroused. 1t was the first step in bet
ter roads that gained impetus by leaps
and bounds. Today, in a few short
years, we have a network of fine mac
adam roads throughout the entire
county. Following good roads came
creameries. They sprang up over night
like mushrooms, till today the county
Is dotted with creameries, the sight Of
which does not look much like clos
ing down for the lack Of milk, par
ticularly during the early hours of the
day, when auto trucks are pouring in
from the country, bringing milk from
every nook and corner of the county.
Pure-bred cows came with the cream
cries, till today scrub stock no longer
dominates our farms. Ask any farmer
why he disposed of his scrub cows, re-
placing them with pure breds, and he
will tell you the creameries did it.

ROAD MARKERS AID TOURISTS
Trunk Highways Designated by Num-
Der to Correspond With One
on Official Map.

Since the adoption of standardized
system. of highway markers by the
state of Wisconsin, five other states
and England have followed the model
plan. Each Of the state trunk high
ways is designated by number to cor
respond to the number on the official
road nap. Markers, have been placed
at close intervals carrying the number
shown on the map, making It easy
for the tourist to reach the most re-
mote villages In the state.

Ask him what brought the creameries,
and he Will tell you better roads.
While milk has slumped somewhat at
times in this section, it has never
halted the dairy business, and farm
ers are now reporting fair profits in
dairying. The wealth that good roads
has brought to this section in dairy
ing alone is astonishing. We are
striving for more wealth and pros
perity by building still more good
roads. Experience has taught us that
good roads, wealth and prosperity go
hand In hand.
