Last year producers Of eGgs near

had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers In New York City. This year.
however. they travel direct BY motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
In les time and with less loss from
bseakaes than In other seasons.
This community Of producers has
found the results Of their experiment
Of shipping eggs By motor truck %
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables. poultry. and other products
In season.
EGGS BY Motor Truck.
Following q season in which trans
portation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau Of markets Of the United States
department Of agriculture. and spe-
calists on motor-truck marketing made
. survey Of the situation. This was
followed by Q group Of producers agree
ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designsted
places along the route the truck was
to cover. A large commercial motor
truck company. operating a feet of
trucks between New York and Phila-
delphia, was interested and agreed to
make a detour on their trips to New
York, to which city their trucks had
often travelled without being loaded,
to take In Vineland and Millville. Lo-
cal farmers and merchants in these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure a full load
for the trucks all the way from Phila-
delphia to New York.
Capacity Of Trucks.
The trucks have a capacity Of about
five tons, and can take 200 crates Of
eggs. On the first trip only $50 cases
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance Of the load was made up Of Grated
glass from vineland and Millville. This
first load went the 40 miles In the
record time Of Is hours with not an
egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks in front
Of the wholesale houses. On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to Philadelphia.
Some Of the dealers in New York
City are offering a premium Of from
one-half to one and one-half cents a
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from Vineland and Millville, be-
cause the eggs arrive in better condi-
tion and in quicker time than when
shipped by rail. This premium alone
more than covers the difference In cost
Of shipping by motor truck and by rail,
and. In addition to the time saved, the
motcr-truck service Is more dependable
and gives better delivery. The egys,
a. yet, are not pooled, but consist Of
individual shipments to q number oe
dealers.

Shouts "Let Him Alone"

Becky seemed to enjoy the experience
and shouted to soldiers, stable boys and
spectators who ran out on the track to
try to stop the Thoroughbred to "let
him alone" But there were two men in
the crowd who grew pale with realiza-
ton of her danger. One was John o.
Gheen, who had arranged the race; the
other. Frederic McElhone of Virginia,
who provided the mount.
Mr.. McE1hone knew the horse to be
ono Of the freest gallopers in Virginia
and capable Of keeping up the pace for
many miles. He realized there was but
one thing to do and that It must be
done instantly. He saddled up the fast
est hunter in his stable and gave chase.
A cavalryman had attempted to catch
up with the runaway, but his mount
was not fast enough. Mr.. McElhone
succeeded after q chase Of a quarter
OF mile. When he leaned over and
grabbed the reins that Becky was hold
