midas purchase Of motorcars during
the twelve months which ended March
last totaled more than 1880, ,0O0
Through the introduction Of a car at
a price within the reach Of many in
stead Of a few. American manufac-
turers have paved the way in India,
as they have in most countries, for
an Infinitely more widespread adop-
ton Of motoring than would likely
have come to pass with the European
makers on the market alone.
The territory in which the salesman
has probably the best chances Of strik-
ing virgin soil Is in cities inland from
Bombay and the west coast. There
are more than 5000 miles Of metaled
roads In the Bombay Presidency. and
1000 In the adjacent native states.
More competition will be met in the
territory covered from Calcutta, but
when one bears in mind India's prog
ress in road-making, e. g., the CAL
cutta-Benares, Cawnpur-Lucknow-
Agra-Amritsar trunk road, II will be
realized what infinite possibilities lie
before the motor-propelIed vehicle. In
the south the development of this
trade waits more upon the road en-
gtneer than It does in other parts Of
India.
A recent development which augurs
well for the future of the commercial
vehicle trade Is the establishment up
country In Southern India of a number
Of notorious lines on roads where
railways are absent. In the Madras
Presidency a number OF notorious
lines are running. This Is naturally
resulting in the Improvement of roads
and the strengthening of bridgea A
kre9t deal more in the latter direction
remains, nevertheless, to be done. IN
Gddition, however. to Madras, oppor-
tlInities for agencies exist at Ootaca-
nund and BangaIore. There Is an
association OF car owners IN Southern
India, with a membership Of about go,
whose program. Of course. includes
guch matters7as road development.
The increased commercial prosperity
cf the whole country. due to the high
prices realized, together with the
growth Of Industrial enterprises. will
undoubtedly lead to an insistent de-
mand for motor transport. e.

South Africa.

South Africa, aided by its govern
nent and by the adoption Of co-opera-
tive methods, has embarked on a
program of agricultural and manufac-
turing activity which Is already en-
riching the population. and will render
this country very attractive market
for the motorcar exporter.
The potential demand for pleasure
and commercial vehicles in the South
African market after the war may be
estimated at not less than 81, 800, 600.
The mines and the mining supply
houses constitute the chief buyers, and
for this reason the center Of the trade
Is johannesburg. This area, too, COM

IN FOREIGN FIELDS
Porto Rico,

A rapidly increasing trade with Por-
to Rico Is one Of the happy develop
ments that has resulted from our
inability to continue supplying our
former world markets, because Of
blockade and other war conditions.
Our automobile and tire manufac-
turers have seized the golden oppor-
tunity to establish and maintain a
market for their products there. Many
ears are being sold, although road
conditions are far from ideal-and poor
roads spell Increased trouble for tires.
The roads in Poto Rico are made,
for the most part, OF hard stone,
crushed into the road beds and left
without any finish on top. A tire
travelling at the rate Of speed the
Porto Rico drivers insist ON maintain
ing, undergoes a grinding somewhat
similar to that Of revolving on a file.
In many sections on the island, roads
are extremely stony from natural
causes. And as IL the bad conditions
were not severe enough, the average
island driver usually does not appre-
ciats the value OF keeping up the
proper air pressure in his tires.

In range Of about two miles gives
some Idea of the amount of sugar avail
able in the form of nectar. This
amount doubtless is much below the
actual sugar at hand. for when nectar
Is flowing freely bees do not get 1t all.
Furthermore, In many places more
than 80 pounds Of surplus are obtained
and often more than 100 colonies can
be kept probably in one place.
In the face of these facts 1t is regret
table to find SO many beekeepers who
fail to get even the small percentage
which belongs to the beekeeper. There
are parts Of the United States where
90 per cent of all colonies of bees are
In hollow logs or plain square boxes
In which combs of bees cannot be
handled. There are few parts of the
country where the box hive Is not
found and probably one-thlrd of all the
bees In the country are SO housed. In
this case both equipment and manage
ment are poor and the energy of the
bees is misdirected. Even of those
who keep their bees In modern hives
Of movable frames the vast majority
do not get the full crop. BY failing
to control swarming by providing In
sufficient room for storage or by lack
of proper care In winter their crop
Is often reduced one-half or more.

Urge Only HIph-orade Prod
ucts Be Shipped.

Producers and consumers may find
1t to their advantage to use the parcel
post for marketing sirups and extract
ed honey. according to a statement
from the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture. Ex-
perimental shipments Of maple. cane,
sorghum sirups, and extracted honey,
made from many parts of the country
over many different mail routes, have
shown the possibilities of marketing
these products by parcel post A total
of 1894 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging. 654 miles. a much
greater distance. It Is pointed out. than
sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss Of contents because
Of seepage or leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro-
vided with outer cartons of corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
suugly fitting pieces of cork that cover
the opening in the cans when the screw
caps are properly closed. AS protec-
ton to the screw caps. squares of cor
rugated paper board are placed on top
Of the cans beside the screw caps,

High Cost Of Containers.
While the cost Of containers is high
at the present time, there IRE doubtless
many cases in which parcel post mar
keting would be desirable and economi-
cal. as sirups and extracted honey are
good substitutes for sugar. Sugges-
lions on obtaining customers and con-
Quoting business with them by parcel
post may be found in Farmers Bulletin
e22. parcel Post Business Methods"
In order to retain customers, say the
specialists, 1t Is necessary that only
'high-grade products be shipped. as the
principal incentive to buying by parcel
post is to obtain products of high
quality. Persons desiring further par
'ticulars In regard to shipping sirups
and extracted honey by parcel post
