Attention was also drawn to the tosses now snstatnad by farm- heavy era on account of bad roads and to economic and social benefits which accrue to them .and to the people of ths whole country as a result of general road improvement. The conference declared that farmers should be able to haul to market twice as muoh end twice as often as they have been able to do In the past and that if the farmer is to help influence the price of his products by not dumping them on the market for fear of unseasonable weather, he must control ths com. ditlons of the roads to his markets.
