New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1919-10-31

Our faulty distribution of food
stuffs and other necessaries of life is
responsible to a considerable degree
for high prices to Jul Official
Investigations show that it costs as
much to deliver farm products from
railroad terminals at New York to city
consumers as to ship them by rail
from points as distant as Buffalo, or
to deliver a ton of coal in Chicago
as to ship it from the mines in south
ern Illinois.
High Cost Of Hauling.
On the other hand the cost of haul
ing products from the farm to the
shipping points and to take manu-
featured goods back to the farm is
double or triple what 1t need be. These
transportation costs at both ends Of
the rail haul must be added to the
prices charged for farm and factory
products and the consumer pays the
freight"
Rail and water haul are the cheap
est forms of transportation and there
is no prospect Of any substantial re-
duction of freight charges. The only
possibility OF lowering the cost of
transportation materially lies in the
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1919-10-31

Is designed so that 1t drops down.
leaving Il generous opening, through
which half a load of hay can be swung
without scraping the sides. The carrier
track extends well out from under the
caves, SO that the hay may be trans
ported TO any part of the barn. The
other feature is the implement and
wagon shed. or leanto ut the rear Of
the barn. This latter furnishes a
weather-prOOf house for the wagon
and farm implements and at the same
time they are handy.
The interior arrangement Of the
barn. the placing of the stalls and the
other c~Onveniences that will tighten
the work OF caring for the herd are
shown by the fiOor plan. 1t will be
noted that there are two rows of stalls.
each accommodating ten cows, and that
they are placed so the animals face
in. 1t may be interesting to know the
reasO for having the COWS face each
other, instead of the outside walls of
the barn, and consequently the light.
Some Observant person noticed In
studying the habits of cows, that in
yariably they Craze In the pasture with
their backs to the sun He thus figured
IL out that bv arranging the stalls so
that they follow the cows natural in
clination to turn away from strong
light the COWS will be happier. and a
happy cow is a milk producer. The
added advantage of so arranging the
stalls is that a carrier track may be
run through the center of the barn.
making it easy to transport the hay
to the hangers and feed the animals
without Juggling h%ayforkfuls of hay
half way through the building.
On either side of this barn, it also
will be noticed. are litter alleys. Gut
tiers are sunk into the concrete stable

haul at either end of the rail and wa
ter routes-that is, in haulage by
highway. There are tremendous pos
sibilities in savings in this direction.
Careful investigation by the depart
mem of agriculture last year show
that haulage from farms to shipping
points costs less than half as much
by motor truck as by horse and wagon,
even under present conditions Of the
highways. Thus, the average cost of
hauling wheat by wagon was 30 cents
n tor fore each mile. while the cost
with motor trucks was only Is cents /:
to haul corn by wagon o 80 cents
per ton-mile as against IS cents by
truck, and to haul cotton by wagon
cost 4S cents compared with IS cents
by motor truck.
Trailers Lower Rates.
Even these comparatively low rates
for hauling with motor trucks can
be cut In half by the general use of
trailers, since the hauling capacity
of n truck can be doubled or even
tripled in many cases by towing one
or two loaded t%railers behind the
truck, using a semi-trailer with the
truck.

prepared by the United States Depart

Gullies are MASTERS of soil fertility.
In many corn-producing sections the
rows between the corn sometimes act
as channels which soon wash deep and
carry away much Of the best soil Of a
field. Although II Is not a simple mat
ter to reduce these gullies, It is prac-
teal to attempt II. A successful
scheme practIced throughout the corn
belt by many farmers consists In
thrashing settings Of grain-where
grain follows corn In the crop rota-
tion-at intervals along the gully 80

posted In such q manner as to block
ade and prevent further soil erosion.
Even though wheat and rye straw are

advisable to sacrifice some Of the lat
ter as the farmer will eliminate q ma
terial source Of loss and an eyesore
from what probably is otherwise an
attractive field.
