The auto truck is no logger a
luxury but almost necessity
tor the successful Kan as. farm
er, thinks " H. Sanders, IT.
structor in farm motors in the
agricultural college.
Thousands of young men have
been taken from the state for
national service. AT least SIS per
cent OF these are from the farms
or have been en- age ia farm
work This creates'a shortat e
IN farm labor which is likely to
become e, permanent as successive
drafts take place, and the gov
ernment is urging the few left
on the farms 60 p oduce mo
farm products than ever before.
Much valua BILE time is lost IN
the crop growing season by the
use of horses in making trips to
town for needed supplies, for
such trips usually take three or
four hours or more. The auto
truck could be used to good adj
vantage for these trips.
The truck IS certain to become
more popular as farm labor be-
comes more scarce and horse
feed higher priced. The truck
with capacity of one or one and
one-half tors seems to be the
most popular and 1t is better ad-
apted to the wide range of uses
on the farm. 1t saves time, is
cheaper-"providing there is suf-
fcient work to do--.and it stands
without hitching 1t is useful in
taking men to and from distant
fields in haying and harvest time,
in hauling building material, and
in fence building.

Some trouble with the furnace
at the school house has made it
impossible to heat the High
Sceool building until repairs can
be received from Kansas City.
AS a result the Sixth Seventh and
Eighth grade have a morning
session, end the high school an
afternoon session, using the
three higher grade rooms as rec
ltation rooms. The plan is prov
ing splendid one, and but little
time IS being lost by either divis-
ion.
