TRUCK OUTLOOK
IS VERY BRIGHT
Is Now Question Of Making
Deliveries, Not Of Getting
Orders, Says Hebb
Official.

1T will be matter of making de-

not Of getting orders" said an off
cial OF Heb Motors company, when
asked as to the prospects Of the in
dustry for the immediate future.
Continuing the discussion, this Of
fetal said What farmer can afford
to iced corn to horses and mules
when he can convert it into $22
hogs and do all of his farm work
by motor power, with gasoline and
oil at about the same price he paid
TOR those commodities in 1915? 1t
row appears that there will never
be 6 shortage of gasoline, at least,
not for many years, for within the
past few months new oil fields have
been discovered in Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Wyoming and Kentucky
which in many cases are record
breakers for production. From all
indications gasoline will 60 down in
price rather than increase, due to
these many developments which for
the most part are said to be in the
hands of independent producers.
Farmers Will Want Trucks.
"A recent survey in the wheat
producing states reveals the fact that
the majority of farmers are going
to at least duplicate their present
wheat acreage and many of them
will increase their planting this fall,
because of the pronounced shortage
in both acreage and yield in Eu-
rope, Asia and South America this
year. This means that they will
want to move their present wheat
crop to market without the loss of
time, so that they may have their
fields cleared and their 1919 crop
marketed, and be enabled to imme-
diately get to work preparing the
seed bed for the increased acreage
many Of them intend planting to
wheat this fall. Because of this,
farmers are buying motor trucks
