FARMER NEEDS
 RAPID TRANSIT

"The origin of rural motor eAp4 esa lines is obscure, but they have prooapi. been in operation on small scale anu in widely separated neighborhoods TOT several years said F. F. Fenn, secre- tary of the Rural Motors Express com mittee of the National AutomooIie Chamber of Commerce in New oFA address recently, in which he orouSH, out clearly the rapid development anu advantages of these systems. or many years hucksters have called on farmers, bargained with them for pro duce and sold to the market at profit. This was bad for the farmer, because the prices he obtained hardy made it worth while to produce baa for the merchant, because it added Ht- tie to the prosperity of the farmer and so kept him incapable of becoming the good customer he ought to have been and bad for the consumer, because the product of the farmers was insufficient and a lot of material came into town that was unfit for food. as for example. the decrepit rooster and the disrepu- table egg.
 Up to this time it was supposed that railroads carried all the food nec- essary. We had overlooked the fact that half of our farmers are miles away from 8 railroad and received so little encouragement that they pro duced only what they needed for home consumption. It was only when the railroads failed, when embargoes be- came general, and when the farmer was obliged to waste a great part of what he had raised, that our minds turned definitely toward this newer method of transportation.
 The present day rural motor eX- press does six important things. It IS:
 "A method of getting to market sup plies of food hitherto unavailable be- cause of the distance between pro- ducer and the market. and lack of oth- CT transportation.
 "A method of relieving railroads o short and unprofitable hauls.
 A method of encouraging bushes: i between farmers and merchants by in creasing the earnings of the farmer and improving his purchasing power.
 "A method of decreasing dissatisfac- | tion on the part of farmers and farm hands by providing increased facilitie. and comfort.
 "A method of transporting produce 1 to the consumer more quickly and Il better condition than ever before. 1 "A method of maintaining men or the farms and in producing work b! others who now spend a great part o 1 their time driving to market"
 MT. Fenn's address was given durin! an eight-day session of the first semi
 annual motor transportation confer
 ence," conducted by the -Strattoi | Co. New York dealer for Dodg
 Brothers. Detroit.
