BIG HELP TO FtRMER.
One of Them Says Farmer Without
 Motor Truck Handicapped.

"A farmer without motor truck is simply making a fatal mistake declares H. F. Cushing, of Modesto. Cal, after he had used Maxwell onet ton truck on his California ranch.
 "I'rom an economical standpoint the standpoint the truck upke5p is trifling compared of feeding the amount of stock and maintaining equipment necessary to duplicate 1t in actual service and general farm work I am provoked at myself now for having delayed in recognizing the valuei of the motor truck when that farm vshicle was in it's infan- try"
 Mr. Cowell believes 1ne day is not far distant when all short hauls will be by auto trucks. He predicts that rural side tracks will practically ba abandoned in the near future and that auto trucks will haul the farm products more centlfl ponijs for inn mediate shipment to their destination.
 "Such a system" says Cowell, twill solve the transportation problem al most overnight, for it will release thousands of cars in every division for transcontinental nau!s. Wh re good roads exist the motor trucks can be operated at a minimum cost
 "The wonder is that farmers, most of whom are shrewd, calculating men, have, not grasped the truck i1ea long ago." Cowell says the truck he purchased is giving him far greater satisfaction that he expected. Tie industry will in the very near future have motor trucks on every farm.
