Transportation facilities over country
road have not been improved. The

The price of farming property in mnnv

the wheat producing region of the world
are curroundod with and helped by good

In England we henr it said "that

been practically considered.
With us tho groatest attention and

til it i found that ft barrel of apple or a
sack of wheat can be carried f rom the
far west to the market in the cast nt a
cost not exceeding the delivery of th
sain article from many of our farms to
th nearest market The result of this
ha been that those wlio have depended
largely on tho railroad havo been bene

the former, so much of whose energy has
been wasted throngh the trngglo over
bad road, certainly have not gained In
wealth In proportion to other branches
of industry.
Th price of wheat i not made by the
coat of marketing it in America. It U
safe to say that the price of wheat i
made in Liverpool. The price of our
surplus I fixed In that market. The
fanner hare to compete with th world
