Farmer Is Booster for
Hard-Surfaced Highway

Once upon q time it was difficult for
the farmer to raise vegetables profit
ably because of the difficulty in get
ting them to market promptly and
economically. The same held true in
the selling Of butter and eggs from
the farm.
Paved highways, however, have
changed all this. With his automobile
or light truck he may carry the prod
uce of the farm into the city and put
them on the market quickly. This is
especially important in the case of
green vegetables and fruits. which are
likely TO spoil unless they are mar
keted quickly.
With good roads available, there is
still another avenue of transportation
open to the farmer. It is the parcel
post rural deliveries. In sections
where the country districts are trav-
ersed by paved roads of the better
types. city post Office departments are
offering this service, and many farm
ers take advantage of it to market
their produce profitably.
Consequently. the farmer is a boost
er for paved highways. The figures
for one type of highway pavement
concrete-are significant. At the first
of this year, the country had the equiv
alent of 25,627 miles of 1S-foot con-
crete highway pavement. OF this, 5.194
miles were laid in 1923.
