TOO CbMC, CONSTRUCTING

NCREASES FARM PRODUCTS

BY A. D. COB. The improvement of country roads is directly responsible for Increased production of the rural districts, brought about by the decreased cost of transporting the products to market. Unimproved roads with steep grades, poor drainage and full oi chuck holes, or covered with loosn stone and rough gravel, do not facilitate the hauling of heavy loads, and in winter and early spring, such roads nre practically impassable for even light traffic. Where a farmer has a long haul to make to get his- grain, lumber and hay to a shipping point, the amount of produce that he can deliver economically will influence the amount he will produce. It is not rare for the improvement of roads to make it possible for the farmer to haul twice as much on his load as before, and time formerly used in delivery can be turned to production. Show Road Value. Studies conducted by the United States department of agriculture in Virginia have demonstrated the value of country road improvement. In Spotsylvania county $100,000 was voted to improve forty miles of road. Two years after the completion of the roads the railroads took away, in twelve months, from Fredericksburg, 71,000 tons of agricultural and forest products. Before the improvement of tlie roads this total was only 49,000 rnnually. The quantity of the county's products had been increased 45 I'cr cent. Dairy products alone increased in quantity 140 per cent in two years. As important as the increased proauction, was the decreased cost of transporting the products to market. Before the roads were improved it was estimated that the average cost of hauling was 20 cents a "ton-mile;" ruter the improvement this fell to 12 rents a ton mile. This saving of 8 cents a ton mile amounted to $41,000 a year, which means that the investtnent of $100,000 in better roads returned a dividend of 40 per cent annually. It might be charged that this represents a fictitious profit since the saving does not take the form of cash, but it Is just as real a source of profit tis an increase in the price of grain or live stock. Need Improvement. It would probably not be fair to thaw conclusions regarding the saving that could be effected by improvement of country roads in Wayne county, by comparing road conditions here with those existing in Virginia. However, there are many miles of roads in the outlying districts of Wayne county that are in need of improvement. County Road Commissioner W. O. Jones has repeatedly recommended that more of the country roads be placed under county supervision. In his recent trips of inspection along rural routes, Postmaster Beck found road conditions such that economical delivery of mail was not always possible by the carriers. In Boston township there are roads that are deeply rutted, with grass growing a foot high between the wheel tracks, and no covering of gravel or stone. In winter these roads are almost Impassable. Leave Rough Track. On eome of the roads in Center township, leading south from the National road, through good farming districts, there are bad washouts-and deep ruts. The stiff yellow clay dries after a rain, leaving the wheel tracks very rough. Many intersecting roads In the southern part of the county need gravel, and are often unfit for hauling heavy loads. All roads now under the supervision of Road Commissioner Jones are in excellent condition, and show the effective results of scientific road management. If all the roads could be placed under such a system of management, the money thus spent would yield a good return. The fact that so many roads reaching out Into the productive farming districts of the county are in need of attention, makes Apparent the policy of false economy which has been developed under Indiana's three-mile road law. Over $200,000 has been expended in Wayne township alone for the purpose of tearing up comparatively good roadB leading into Richmond, and building new roads with useless cement curbs three miles out Into the country. The roads that have been completed are already showing signs of wear. They do not reach out into the productive farming regions, and are being mainly used as boulevards for speed maniacs. Needed for Repairs. The money spent on the building of these new roads, if used to repair the roads and keep them in condition, under the system now followed by Mr. Jones, would have been sufficient to keep them in good shape for many years. On the National road east of town, which is now being re-built, as

GOOD ROADS high as fifteen inches of good graVel was removed from the surface in gardiner And used to make fills and widen ! the road bed. If this money could have been used for the improvement of country roads that are used to bring the farm products into town, the saving would have been immense. Farmers and business men alike have long since seen the extravagance of this system of road construction, and the petition recently submitted to the county commissioners voices the sentiments of .the majority of the taxpayers of the county.
