manner IN which Highways trunspor

that presented itself in the State o
Utah during the war. In the vicinity
OF Ioa. Wayne County. back - =" ss
from the railroad. several carloa.s nf
TAT hogs were available TO- market.
but there was no means of siipmrG
them to the nearest rail po'r'. The
solution was found by improving the
higt way TO carry motor transro-', 'hr
/ hogs were moved rapidly to raj ship
ping point and an additional foe
supply thereby made availsbl, And
! the solution ot this problem had the
effect OF moving the whole back
country. a vast area in itsclf MP clos
er to the railroads and the markets
of the world. While the exodus OF the
hogs symbolized the creation Of new
wealth in Wayne County. the trans
port service was able to return from
the shipping point to Loa with the
providing larger market. Hence
Highways Transport linked up the
farms with the desired markets II
