iue purine roads in central Kansas ,
are such that a touring car can lie la!; i
en out almost any time. Mud cuts ?ie j
figure with the farmer, and this is one j
feature that makes his car of such j
value to him. The town man will not j
run Ids machine in the mud. but tie I
farmer doesn't care much. Elowevcr i
(he farmers are talking good road |
now more than they ever did hef. -e j
and this is one reform the motor car |
bus brought about. Already in nia-n ;
of the public roads the Utile ;mllie:-
have been filled up and the little la: t '
have been cut down. More than a 1
year ago the Salina motor club began !
the advocacy of good roads. The farm
ers were not in general sympathy with
the motorists, and they were slow to
take hold of the scheme, arguing thai
the roads in cei.fral Kansas were not 1
so bad They knew the object was to
make It easier riding for motorists
and "especially for the tourists from
eastern cities, who desired to spend
the summer in Colorado, making the
trip overland.
Tiie farmer, as a rule, laughed at
the idea then, but now he is right In
line. If he doesn't own a ear now he
expects to some day, and he is in
hopes tho roads will be made better
before his machine arrives on his
farm.
More roads were dragged last year
than ever before In the history of Sa
Una county, and It Is safe to say thai
the present year will be a record
breaker in this line of work.
