MOTOR EXPRESS
|. HELPS FARMERS
F. E. Fem Tells of Time
Saved By Use of New
Travel Means.

THE origin of rural motor express
lines Is obscure. but they have prob
ably been in operation on a small
scale and in widely separated neigh
borhoods for several years" said F.
r. Fem, secretary of the Rural Mo-
tors Express Committee of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merCe, i'm a New York address re-
Gently, in which he brought out clear
ly the rapid development and advan-
taGas of these systems.
For many years hucksters have
called OH farmers, barSained with
them for products and sold to the
market at profit. This was bad for
the farmer. because the prices he OBJ
tained hardly made it worth while to
produce: bad for the merchant. be-
cause it added little to the prosperity
of the farmer and so kept him in
capable of becoming the good Gus
toner he ought to have been: and
bad for the consumer, because the
product of the farmers was insuffi-
cient and a lot of material came into
town that was unfit for food. as for
example. the decrepit rooster and the
disreputable egg.
Motors Cause Changes.
Up to this time it was supposed
that railroads carried all the food
necessary. We had overlooked the
fact that half of our farmers are
miles away from a railroad and re-
ceived so little encouragement that
they produced only what they need
ell for home consumption. II was
only when the railroads failed, when
embargoes became general. and when
the farmer was obliged to waste a
great part of what he HAD raised,
that our minds turned definitely to-
ward this newer method of trans
portation.
The present day rural motor ex-
press does six important things. II
is:
"A method of getting to market
supplies of food hitherto unavailable
because of the distance between pro-
6ucer and the market and lack of
other transportation.
"A method of relieving railroads of
short and improbable hauls.
"A method of encouraging business
between farmers and merchants by
increasing the earnings Of the farm
er and improving his purchasing pow
er.
Transport Produce Quickly.
a method of DECREASING dissatis-
faction on the part of farmers and
farm hands by providing increased
facilities and comfort
"A method of transporting produce
to the consumer more quickly in bet
ter condition than ever before
"A method of maintaining men on
the farms and in producing work by
others who now spend a great part
of their time driving to market"
