F. II. Hitchcock, chief o f the bureau
o f foreign market«, gave an Interesting
address at the North Dakota good
roads convention. The subject o f trans­
portation Is one o f the most Important
matters that have to be considered by
Mr. Hitchcock’s bureau, and I 11 the
course of his remarks he stated thut it
was o f as much interest to his depart­
ment to have the east o f transportation
between the farm and town reduced 10
a minimum as It was to reduce the cost
to the coast or from Boston to L iver­
pool.
Poor roads from the fnrm to the mar­
ket figure in foreign competition, and
it is a known fact that taking the aver­
age haul o f ten miles to market at 23
cents per ton per mile, the cost being
$2.f>0, the amount Is tw ice that charged
for transporting the « lin e produce from
Boston to Liverpool. T hirty years ago
It cost 30 cents for transporting wheat
from Chicago to New York, while it
now costs 0 cents, and where It former­
ly cost $10 from New York to L iver­
pool it now costs $1.50.
The cost o f transportation has been
reduced very materially In every way
■
except from the farm to the market,
which still remains the name as thirty
