C. w< Dear Sir: In their replies to my letter of th July 31st. 1908. on the subject of gt diversification of Southern agricul- of ture and industries, some of the ed- ol itors to whom it was sent asked me fc to write to them from time to time pi on matters of interest to the people at of our section. i his has led me to to take the liberty Oi addressing you on o; a topic of importance to all our peo- m pie and especially to the farmers of a the South. w If the farm is to be profitable it to must not merely p c n't ! ifi crops, but its pro ; mm be ' m where they can Ix o B\ uk b\ ever means of trams irtat ion they wi may ultimate'v b ? 1 bn ;r lid they reach 1 he ! 1 o isomer. out tic farm products mow? primarily over C< the coun'rv hit? ay. and the con- 01 dition of the roa 1 :et tiny, from the w. farm to the >1 pi ic pot::; or to a w I near by consuming center, such as o; a manufacturin.. v.at. affects ma- K terially the profits of the 'armcr and m j the value of his farm. The eondit if? i ion of the road controls the size of c the load that can be hauled over it at and the speed at which < in be <mr- s! ried. An improvement by whi h r the farmer is enabled to carry, with, c the same vehii ie 1 the a load seventy ! ve or one hundred i per cent heavi.r. v.iil result in a n:b- p stantial savin;..s in Ids time and in ti the wear and tear o' vclm !esand o teams. Ihe cowan; m of j.ro > roads leadinf? iron: a market town t< has practically the . me elici t as i brinpint? the farm i.e.r :r * ? ; 1 town. It extends v? ve. rules in v> every direction the area of P. ri arv in which farmers can / > 1 a' "y enI . t^a^e in market i?a.deni' tn i i;y| \ ing. That this is true nas been el iecuveiy ciemonsiraie 1 .11 'p c localities in the Southern Stair u.d ) in other sections o! the < mn'; where road improvements have been carried out intelligent; y and .* stematically. The cost to the farmer o; h 1 :!ir.c f) his products over poor roads is not always appreciated, tor the reason that it is rare that a farmer pays ! r having his hauling done. 1'he United States Department ol A-tricuTire i has made an investigation of 'his s matter, however, ar 1 the results show the cost for cotton, for :::star.ee . to be an average rate o! twenty- even cents per ton per mile foi an average haul of 11.8 miles. That road improvement would materially re a duce this cost is shown by he following striking state: .ent in the Year e Hook of the Agra .ltural D< 1 aimcnt for 1000: "If it were p 1 ">!e to mcre.ite vthe average we: 1: a wage tad of cotton in the U-. e l Sm"es : it three bales, as it tov, i . to lr baler, without iti reas'rw.; ' t o* hauling th?

In addition to what may 1 0 termed the commercial aspect of good road they have a highly imporant ocir.l 1 aspect as well, i hey bring t e farmer into closer tone' with the a world at large, He and his fain.i . are not forced to remai . at hum;- i: for days at a time because the coi. ' dition of the roa !> nnv . aki tra\ eling unpleasant it rot lit!: . ,r Good roads in sr. re efflcie . :.!' prompt rural mui: deliveries, pla \ the newspaper on the table ot the [ farmer early on e lay u! its pi > lication, enab'.it um to tram.: much of his b .si nau a- ! - j take advantage of early information as to fluctuation i tit-, tn:ces of his ,e farm products.

They riiun tha* h.is < ;idre; rat <e more regular in school a tendat vand Can receive to a girater ieprcc the advantages ot education. I hry mean the bringing clot i: together the town and country, with advai tapes on both side , tor as the tar: er is benefitted by being brought i ito cl( ser touch with the town, so all the b tsin*s> interests ot the town prosper as die result of the facility with which the farmer and his tarn can <to their shopping. Uoou |*|?j ads a'so benefit the inhabitants of | | wrns and cities by affording ftcil- j t*s for pleasant country drives.
