Whatever their final destination ' may be. they must move primarily over the country high way, to the shipping point or to a nearby consuming center. The con dition of this highway controls the size of the load that can be; carried on It and affects materially the profits of the farmer 'and the value of his farm. This wasrstriklngly illustrated by an account which I read recently of a farmer in North Carolina who was hauling wood to a neighboring town. A gp lend Idly-Improved ma cadam road ran for several mPea out of th town, while the rest jr. o the way was an ordinary dirt road. The farmer would haul the largest load possible over the dirt road until he came to the macadam road., There he would throw the wood off by the side of the road and go back for an other load. ' Returning with the sec ond load, he would nllo the first one on top ofJt.and drive on to town, hauling Just, twice a much r on the macadam road as he could haul, with the same wagon and the same team, on the dirt road.'f V " . r, .: i n i i i i ' - CONFERENCE LEAGUE !
