mates show that IL rs doing TWO and
one half times that of the horse. as

quarter Of the street congestion, OF
that four tinnas the present volume or
traffic could be accommodated before
relief measures would be needed.
Another great economy effected
through the Use of ~. sslf~propeiled
trucks. particularly in larger 1nstalia-
tons, comes through the great reduce
ton in the necessary number Of en-
ployes to look after and maintain the
vehicles in running condition.
During the winter months through
the presence Of snow and ice upon the
city payemerts, horse traffic is more
often than otherwise at complete
standstill owing to the inability Of the
animal to secure the necessary traction
to pull it's load. and While the self
propelled truck also is placed At a
slight disadvantge. it is 4 rare sight
indeed to ever see one completely
stalled. but on the other hand often
not only carrying its own load but tow
ing a horse vehicle In It's wake. Iii
summer the great heat likewise affects
the animal and renders II incapable OF
properly meeting the requirements OF
the service II II called upon to per
form.
There is in addition 70 all this GER
tain amount of p-to-dateness con-
nected with the use Of motor driven
vehicles for delivery purposes. and
many instances have come to my at
tention where customers of old estab-
lished firms have changed their ac-
counts to others. solely because the
other firm used the modern method OF
delivery which they preferred to see
draw up In front of their door.

Shortage of Food

An English authoaity is asserting
that the impending shortage of coal:
and wood and iron supply. of the
world is sinking into insigni6cance
when compared with the menace in
the worlds impending shortage of
food. Some of the figures quoted
from other authorities who have con-
sidered ro more than the wheat crop
Of the world 10 its relation to an IL
increased and increasing population
of the wheat consuming nations have
at least the interest which attaches
to huge figures.
Major Craige, for example, shows
that the population Of Eastern and
Central Europe has increased from
1871, 100000 to 267, 100000 with the
last seventy years, while the wheat
acreage has diminished within this
territory. He says that in the first
five years Of the Twentieth century
Great Britain, Holland, Belgium,
Germany and Italy imported 100000
01O bushels Of wheat, one-halt of il
IRON Russia and the rest from other
Eastern countries but the non Euro
Pean countries contributing this
wheat have TILED 100000 acres
in order 10 produce it, and the heavy
cost Of shipment has been added to
its cost.
II is shown that while the yield of
wheat IN the United States has in-
creased enormously, its population
has increased to such proportions
that this country has less and less
wheat for export. Further, speak

Higher Education.

Farmers have as high hopes for
the future Of their sons and daugh-
tiers as any class of people have for
their children. The question of the
best preparation Of children for LIES
duties is as important for the farmer
as it is for anyone else.
The fear of many farmers is that
a college education will tend to draw
their children away from the farm
Most farmers would rather have their
sons and daughters continue iu their
occupation. and often on The same
farm. The question which The we'll
to-do farmer must decide is, whethes
he shall send bis children to college.
Whether college education draws
the young people away from the farm
will depend somewhat upon what kind
of education they receive. If they
enter law school, medical college
or business school the probabilities
are they will be drawn away from the
farm. II ttsv 20 to an agricultural
college they will naturally be attracted
to a country life. If they attend a
school Of general culture the probabi
lities are that the influence Of the
school will not particularly attract
them to any one calling.
The farmer need not fear that a
general education will draw the young
people away from the farm. The more
general information a person has the
better prepared he is to properly bal
ance the claims of one occupation
against another. Where comparisons
of different lines Of work are intelli
gently made. agriculture need have no
fear for the outcome. Agriculture
needs scientifically prepared men as
much, or more, than any other pro-
fession. A practically trained scien-
ti6c agficulturalist is in great demand
these days. Prof. Holden says that
"If you have son who is little off
mentally let him study law or medi
cine but don't think you can make
good farmer out Of him."
By all means lei the young people
go to ccllege. Let them see that there
is much in life outside the confines Of
the farm. At the same time make the
farm life so brim full Of intelligent and
