J. R. Anderson of route five
one of Harmon County's most
successful iarmers, was in town
Monday, and while here handed
us a dollar to renew his sub-
scription to the Post-Herald.
In converation with Mr. An-
derson told us that he had about
forty acres of young feed that
the rain last week would cause
it to make an abundant yield,
and that the rain would also
help the cotton greatly—caus-
ing many small bolls • to better
fill out that would have other-
wise opened prematurily.
Something that he told us
sounds good—and that is he
would in about thirty days have
seventy head of hogs ready for
the market, which would weigh
about two hundred pounds earh.
At the present prices, such a
bunch of hogs will net around
twelve hundred dollars, and out
of what can a man realize that
much money from in the |ame
length of time?
Plant more feed and raise
hogs to feed it to and you will
always have a bank account.

Time was when any sort of avenue
of communication between communi-
ties was looked upon as fairly ade-
quate, writes Governor Sam V. Stew-
art of Montana to fce Anaconda Stand-
ard. The country was sparsely settled,
demands for hurried communication
were negligible and methods of trans-
portation were of the crudest. The
chief user of the trail, which through
courtesy was sometimes dignified by
the term "big road," was the freighter,
the bullwhacker, who knew that be-
tween the beginning and the end of his
trip lay a long strip of soil whereon he
might expect any variety of weather
and encounter soils that were of vary-
ing degrees of preparedness for his
train. But the fact worried him not at
all.

During its first fifty years the
Department of Agriculture de-
voted virtually all t)f its time
and money to showing the farm-
er how to increase his yields.
This is the first administration
that has made an effort to show
the famer how to get Satisfac-
tory prices for those yields.
Former administrations have
shown the farmer how to fight
the boll weevil, the chinch bug,
the army worm and other in-
sect pests. But this is the first
administration that has dared
to make common cause with the
farmer against the usurer, the
transportation shark, the fake
middle man and the other hu-
man pests who in the past have
grown rich on the produce ox

hicte eainc into use, whereupon the
question of better roads appeared as a
cloud the size of a man's hand upon
the community horizon. The advocate
for something better derided the trail
that had served the population for a
time and began to cry for highways.
The difference between a trail and a
highway is vast in comfort, in utility
and in cost, and the latter item had
much to do with keeping the move-
ment back. A hit or miss system was
evolved whereby a little work was
done at long intervals upon the roads,
aiid then for long periods they were
left to take care of, themselves. The
result was partially "satisfactory so
long as nature was kiud and the
weather, of a character to make travel
pleasant. But at times the elements
conspired against the roudmakers, and
it was often the case that the driver
found as much of his vehicle below the
surface as above it

a balance and a deficit when it came

the .pleasure vehicle apd the truck, and
the ijnestion of improved highways be-
came one of pressing importance. The
owner of the pleasure car cried aloud
for a better roadway, and the farmer
joined in the chorus because it had be-
come possible for him at a moderate
outlay to bring himself many hours
nearer market, provided the roads were
in passable condition. The combina-
tion of rural resident and city owner
and city business man was irresistible.
To meet the condition thus brought
about is now the problem engrossing
the attention of city, county and state
authorities the country over. Engi-
neers are giving their best thought to
the problem of evolving the best meth-
od of road building at a minimum ex-
pense, and the authorities are striving
to give the people what they are call-
ing for in so far as the funds available
will permit.
The difference between good roads
and the luid variety Is the difference
between Industry and sloth, between
pride and 'fllcssness. between the
don't care community and the com-
munity that will be satisfied with noth-
ing six *t of (he Jjest. The transition
front a road <>f qtlaguiires and ruts is
not one that can be wrought in a day
or a year, but the county that devotes
every possible energy each year to ac-
complishing the utmost in the way of
highways thereby marks itself as pro-
gressive and filled with the vision of
greater and better tliinss t<> come from
improving the resources nt. its hand.
One of the greatest benefactors of
our time was he who uuule it possible
to trausport two tons over our country
roads where lees than one could be
transported before. The inventor and
the manufactnrer have made It possi-
ble for the people to live in far great-
er comfort, to travel in luxurious ease
and to thereby win a competence where
such a thing was impossible under old
conditions, and the people owe it to
themselves to discharge their Implied
obligations. I l*lieve that, so far as
Montana is concerned, they are doing
this, and the time is coming, and not
. far distant at that, when the number
, of good roads enthusiasts In the state
' will tally exactly with the number of j
citizens on the census rolls.
