Motor-Trucks on America's " Bread Line"

(Continued) lines, and pointing out the necessity for more and quicker transportation to aid increased food production.

The railways are apparently not equipped to carry all food and other supplies at the same time. Naturally farmers hesitate to produce to capacity, fearing their produce cannot be marketed. About twenty per cent of farm help has been lost by the draft and other causes, making it impossible for farmers to haul crops to market and work on the farm at the same time.

The remedy lies in rural motor-truck

express lines. Farmers, truck gardeners, 1

and dairymen have found that motor trucks insure daily transportation to market, enabling them to devote all of their time to their farms. Increased production and compensation for loss of labor result.

The congestion of the railways has in some sections necessitated delivery of live stock to the stock-yards by motor truck. During the year there were hauled over highways for a radius of thirty miles to Cincinnati more than 77,000 hogs, 235,000 sheep, 28,500 calves, and 27,500 head of cattle, forty per cent of which were driven in on the hoof, and sixty per cent in motor

trucks. This experiment has proved that To

the motor-truck method promises to be permanent, as stock can be handled cheaper than by railway, and arrive in better condition and in quicker time.

The dependability and adaptability of the motor truck have attracted the attention of manufacturers and growers of perishable goods. In the West and South grow

ers have employed motor trucks for shiporele ping strawberries and early summer fruits

and vegetables to market or to warehouses. Even such delicate fruits as peaches, plums, and grapes are now being shipped out of the

fruit-producing States over long distances to lay by motor trucks. The hardier fruits, such

as oranges, grapefruit, apples, pears, etc., are in some sections being almost entirely

shipped by this method. od?

Such examples prove that the motor truck can be utilized to feed a community, and that it is not necessary, because food is of a perishable nature, to make the railways shoulder this work.
