a good way to reduce friction, induce
honesty and straight business in the
management Of town. BY inducing
the farmer to settle in town many q
small village would thus be enabled to
reduce it, amount Of taxes per capita
&C. Improve its police and IRE protec-
ton devices. to increase the valuation
to its assessable property and thus
increase the market ability Of its
lands.
Many a small village which now de.
ponds upon outside help to keep up
their public utilities could with the
addition Ct only one hundred farmers
to their population. utilize their
rights to grant franchises and thus

why try to compete with each
other in the amount of damage they
impose upon the farmer.
One hundred additional farmers
would add to the average town about
Is square miles CT land. considering
the holdings of the average farmer
to be about one hundred sixty acres of
land. Thus the farthest distance for
the farmer to travel from his house to
the field would be net more than five
miles, With modern roads such dis
lance could be easily traversed' by
auto within fifteen minutes. Time
enough for the average farmer to ac-
complish his work without hurry and
