THE COST OF BAD ROADS lite cost of bad roads to (lie farmers of the United States In. per haps, a difficult matter to estimate. However, when it is considered for the entire country niton the basis of highway mileage and the results of experiments relative to the cost of hauling farm produce lite figures are most surprising. The federal depart ment of agriculture slates that, there are 2,151,578 miles of public roads in Hie United Slates. Os this mileage statistics for the year 1904 show that, about seven per cent, are im proved. During th< crop year 1905 1906 85,478,000,000 pounds of farm pioducts were hauled over common roads from farm to market. As no figures arc included for forest, or mine products or for the general commodities of life that go from city to country, it is evident that the ■■■MMBswnamaM4i.uu.zG-. . \hjj kt. >■ r x.-E .

Investigations have established . the fact that the average cost of j hauling per ton per mile is about 25 j < cuts. The cost on stone roads, dry , anu in good order, is about eight cents; on stone roads in ordinary condition, 12 cents; on earth roads containing ruts and mud, 29 cents; on sandy roads when wet, 33 cents; on sandy roads when dry, 64 cents; A reduction in the cost of hauling from 25 cents to 12 cents would mean an averge saving of over $250,000,000.
