Claim Roads Can Drop Price of Beef What have good roads got tc uo with the price of beef? Quite a bit, according to the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States. Fifty years ago, most cattle', as well as other livestock, made a part of their journey to market on the hoof with a considerable loss of weight. Today, thousands of head of beef cattle are trucked to market over the highways. That saves a lot of weight loss, but there is still a premium on time. For example, a cattle farmer expects a 33-pound loss in weight of a 1,000-Dound steer in the first 100 miles of travel.

Thus at 15 cents a pound, any time saved oy oetter highways, would be j worth 30 cents an hour per ani mal. Obviously, the Chamber notes, good farm to market roads have a definite effect on the price i ot beef. j- Actually, good roads mean good j business in general. !
