And then among the more progressive among the farmers began to ask them selves: "is there any occupation on which time and distance impose greater handicap than on the cultivation of the land?'i Ill As any one greater need than the farmer of quick transport for himself and his producer
 There still remained the question as to whether the motor ear was pracii- cal proposition under rural conditions. Experience alone could answer this question, and experience has answered it. Out of 10,000 autos in Iowa, 5,n00 are owned by farmers: Kansas farm CTS spent $ 200 900 for automobiles du ring 1909 and s22 75O GOO in 1908. In one Nebraska town of SO population, 40 autos were sold to farmers. A careful estimate of the number of automobiles owned by farmers in the United States is 76,Oo0. Expressive as these figures are, they represent the merest fraction of what they might be.
 Another point is that while to the dweller in the city the automobile is . self-propelled vehicle, and nothing more, to the farmer il is also portable power plant. It Is p or 30 or 40 h. D. engine on wheels which can be use d anywhere. The accompanying illus

tration entitled "Stacking Alfalfa in Kansas illustrates this feature. In the same way an automobile can be utilized to saw wood, chop feed, shell corn, pump water, run dynamo to charge storage batteries for lighting, or for any of the many other purposes where power is needed on the farm.

On total tonnage of POO 900, and an average haul Of ten miles, there is here saving of $40, ,o00, 900 annually.

 Coming now to the indirect benefits which would follow in the train Of the rural motor car--that is, benefits other than the saving which can be effected in the cost of hauiage-pefhaps the most important would be the resulting change in the social character of coun- try life.
