"Kobinson Crusocd have merely

ourselves and commodities when
mankind ceases to exest, so why
should It be our everlasting lot to
wallow knee-deep through mud and
almost impassable roads in Winter,
and during Bummer be followod in
all our travels by an oononiotia cloud
of dust? A road should not be con
sidered for this generation alone, but
be a factor of such prominence and
permanence as our present experi
ence teaches.
Let me briefly show how good
roads reflect value., to farm lauds
when transportation is available. A
given piece of land will produce a
crop that requires of Hie owner an
expenditure for seed, fertilizer, labor,
wear and tear (depreciation) on
tools, machinery and Implements;
then the crop moves to market and a
treat factor in the farmer's profit
will depend on the cost and the
promptness of this transportation;

capped by lack of transportation Is
