GOOD ROADS HELP TO TRUCK GROWER When railroads fail to give satisfactory service in handling perishable truck crops, growers find that they can use the good roads of North Carolina to obtain results. Growers of early cabbage and garden peas in the territory around New Bern are using trucks to haul their crops inland. Some fanners bring- ' the crops to New Bern where they are- | loaded on railroad cars for ship- | ment to Eastern markets, while others , rely entirely on trucks to ship their | products directly to the consumer. I Some of the leading growers of the I New Bern section state that they can get their crops into central North | Carolina in time and with more ! profit by using fast trucks. Several of these trucks loaded high with cabbage and peas were observed recently making their way Inland to suet* towns Is Wilson. Rocky Mount. Ra- ' leigh and Durham. Soms of the shipments have been made even farther west to Greensboro with profit. A fleet of trucks has been in operation out on the Chadbourn strawberry section this spring. One man that he was able to leave the vicinity of Chadbourn late in the afternoon have his berries on the markets of Richmond. Washington and Baltimore early the next day. In many instances the buyers paid at least one dollar a crate more for berries so delivered. The county agents of the state college extension senice are encouraging this form of quick marketing and they find in many instances that farmers are overlooking the good. !o---j cal market which exists for early truck crops right in North Carolina. Harry Shriver Bern disposes of nearly all the produce from his 400acre farm by truck shipments. H& states that it Is more profitable to ship in thi» way than to depend oa carlot shipments to the large eastern markets. Forty-Seven States Plan 26,841 Miles The construction of 26,841 miles of road and the maintenance of 239.84 T miles are included in the 1927 state highway programs of 47 states, according to reports received by the bureau of public roads, United States Department ,of Agriculture. The programs include also the constauction of large bridges and the reconstruction i of roads previously improved. In carrying out the programs it is expected there will be expended under the supervision of the state hignway departments in the 47 states a total of $648.483.000. In addition to the state expenditures approximate estimates indi- * that counties and other lesser subdivisions of government will expend during the year $475,000,000. Os the expenditures by state highway departments approximately $421,000,000 is the estimated amount for road construction and, according to present plans, more than $56,000,000 additional will be spent for new bridges. For reconstruction of existing roads it is estimated that the expenditure will be nearly $27,000,000, and for maintenance approximately $126,000,000. British Columbia Plans Building of New Roads Construction of new highways at an ultimate cost of will be undertaken by British Columbia, according to an announcement by Hen. W. H. Sutherland, minister of public works. “Projects In the new road-building program,” said Mr. Sutherland, “in- | elude a main automobile highway con- . neeting British Columbia with Jasper National park in the Canadian Rockies. a motor road from Vancouver to Prince Rupert, a new highway through the coast mountains from the Chilcoten country to Bella Coola and a road following the course of the Co lumbia river. Best-Lighted Rural Road in the United States The Hylan boulevard on Staten Island claims the distinction of being the best-lighted rural highway in the country. The highway is used extensively by i farmers, who find it convenient to bring their products to the city during the nHght ’ There are 166 lumens per running foot of road. The lights are placed on high posts along the sides of the road. Formerly three lOOcandle power lamps were used on each post but they are being replaced with a single 25(><fndle power unit which give® more efficient lighting. Tax Boosts Roads Highway improvement and road construction have received a great impetus in the Middle West due* to increased funds available for this purpose from license fees and gasoline taxes. From a survey made of 14 states* reports on last year’s highway activities, it is sbown that these territories licensed 8,950,000 passenger cars and trucks, and from the revenue derived from this traffic the state governments were able to either pave or improve 9,000 miles of roads.
