FARMERS MARKET
CROPSBY MOTOR
New Jersey Growers Find Auto
Trucks Are Absolutely ESSEN
tiaI Owing to Conditions.
GREAT SAVERS OF TIME

Bumper crops in New Jersey are
being put on wheels and rolled right
into the city markets, fresher and
faster this year than ever before, and
for the first time since the growing of
perishable products became an extern
sive industry in the state the farmers
feel themselves to some degree indie
pendent of railroad schedules and
freight rates.
Motor trucks have solved the problem
of fast delivery for Jersey farmers.
Hundreds of big cars, some OF them
with a carrying capacity of several
tons, have been put on the roads be-
tween the farms and markets this sea-
son. Many of these auto trucks are
owned by farmers themselves. having
been purchased to replace horses and
market wagons.
A number of motor freight routes
have also been opened in the truck
growing districts by small companies
or individuals, who have built up
flourishing businesses by transporting
vegeta bleS and fruits.
Quick Trips Are Made.
Two hours from the center of South
Jerseys richest agricultural district to
the Dock street markets in Philadel-
phia is the record made by motor
trucks. Peas, beans, beets, tomat toes.
lettuce, spinach. watermelons, peaches,
berries and a variety of other products
reach the city markets the same even
ing by the motor truck route. and are
in the best of condition for the con-
sumner the next morning.
Farmers who in the past had de-
pended entirely upon the railroads had
to have their potatoes packed and at
the shipping station by o'clock in the
afternoon. The fast freight trains are
kets shortly after midnight, but grow
ers say that the shipments are fire.

are wasted each year by these delays.
the losses invariably falling upon the
farmers.
Trucks Made Necessary.
Freight congestion mad shortage Of
cars have further added to the shipping
problems of the farmers this summer
and made motor trucks an absolute ne
cessity for the large growers. The New
assigned an expert to handle the ship
ping problems of the farmers in an eff
fort to facilitate the movements of
crops by the railroads
What erect this Will have Will not be
apparent until the season is further ad-
vanced. Farmers know, however, that
the railroads are already loaded up al
most to the limit with freight. BY
using motor trucks for delivering the
crops to markets reasonably near the
producing points. the growers believe
that they will do much to relieve tho
railroads of their burden and make
more cars available for the shipment of
produce to distant points.
