Cost of Hauling Farm Products.


Frank Andrews of the United States
Agricultural Department, writes: "In
hauling products from farms in wagons
there are opportunities for saving
in cost In many regions in the United
States the improvement of road, or
a short, rough section of road, would
allow much larger loads to be hauled
than at present. If it were possible
to Increase the average weight of a
wagon load of cotton In the United
States from three bales, as it now Is, to
four bales. without increasing the cost
of hauling the load, the saving on the
crop equal to the one picked In 1905
would amount to 100000; and If the
average load Of wheat, now fifty-five
bushels, we're increased by twenty
bushels, the saving increased In hauling
a crop like that of 1908 would be more
than SS,OOO,OOO"
