Good Roads Are Needed Good roads are as essential to farm prosperity as good facilities facili-ties for transport are to industrial prosperity. They are agriculture's arteries of progress. The farmer who is able to take his goods to market, at any time of year and over weatherproof surfaced highways, will always be far ahead of the farmer who is cut off from communication with the outside world by unimproved, often impassable roads. Modern use of asphalt and road oil has made the low cost farm-to-market road dream possible. The lack of roads, of course, is not alone responsible re-sponsible for bad farm conditions. But it is an important contributory contribu-tory cause, as is demonstrated by increasing agitation for good farm to market roads in all parts of the counfry since economical construction con-struction methods have been developed.
