Show DIRT ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE Carefully Estimated That Farmer Saves $6 on Ton of Hay Hauled Over Gravel Road. If It costs you 35c to haul a ton of hay one mile over a poor dirt r--: , it has been carefully estimated thai you can haul the same load over the same mile of tarred gravel for something less than 5c. If It is a ten-mile haul to market and you are hauling one ton of produce there, and a ton of other material back to the farm, you save $G on the round trip traveling on the treated gravel, over what it would cos: you on a poor dirt road. If the dirt road is very poor you may not evei, arrive at your destination, let alone make the round trip. |
