The worst enemy of good roads is buying. The only good roads movement that is worth while is that leading to the Home Town. The model community is honeycombed with good roads-- all highways to the home market, making it easy of access to farthest farm. Good roads and trading at home go hand in hand. They are inseparable. You cant have one without the other. Every r sent cut of town puts a stumbling block in the movement for good roads. But every dollar e you spend at home is a paving block in the path of progress and economy.
