It will be noted in the cases of

PICS NOW RIDE
TO MARKET LIKE
ARISTOCRATS
Great Truck Industry Built
Up Through Giving Bet
ter Service Than
the Railroads.

To get a bunch Of live stock to
market quickly before a drop takes
all the joy out Of a seasons profits
is one Of the things motor transport
is enabling farmers to do. Uncertain
railroad transportation and car
shortage have led to q marked in
crease in the numbers Of fat hogs,
sheep, and cattle hauled to market
in motor trucks in the last year. The
fat stock travel with greater COM
fort and are not so long on the road
where the truck supplants the freight
train.
Although the movement of live
stock to market by motor usually
costs more than by railroad, this
extra expense is more than balanced
by the quick delivery of the stock
before the market has much oppor-
tunity to fluctuate. Furthermore,
when the lorry is used, as rule,
hogs from single farm are loaded
in one truck, and there is less dan
ger Of the animals fighting and in
Turing each other in transit than
when a carload of mixed hogs is
shipped by rail
In investigating the extent OF
motor truck transportation to the
Omaha live stock market, the De-
partment of Agriculture found that
for 40 years the movement of live
stock BY wagon from farms from
five to rs miles away had been fair
ly large. Development of better
highways and more rapid means OF
transportation, that is, the motor
truck, has greatly extended this ter
ritory and fat farm animals now are
hauled by truck to South Omaha
from farms at much greater dis
tances than those formerly served
by wagon. A number of commits.
sion firms cater particularly to the
motor truck, or less-than-carload
trade. Their business is increasing
because many farmers are purchas-
ing trucks for the special purpose
of delivering live stock.
Companies Formed.
Motor truck companies have beer
formed in many towns and cities
within a radius Of so miles of Oma.
ha to meet the demands of farmers
for such device. These companies
are developing not only the live
stock trade, but also a back haul
trade Of groceries, merchandise and
general freight such as feeds, fer.
tilizers and farm supplies. On onC
morning this winter between $50
and 8 o'clock 40 truckloads of live
stock were delivered at the Omaha
yards, and of this number 70 of the
vehicles were owned by farmers.
The charges for hauling stock BY
motor vary with the distance. Some
companies charge fiat rate of 2!
cents a hundred pounds, and add
cent. per hundred pounds per mile
Other firms charge by the load
from $40 to SIS for the trip, depend
ing on the distance and the number
of animals carried. Although the
rates are considered extremely high
as the truck hauler charges SO to 90
cents a hundredweight, compared
with a IL to IS cent freight rate,
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-03-09

still the farmers seem to find the
motor-truck method profitable.
The carrying capacity Of the
truck varies with the size, age, class
and weight of the animals, A
standard two-ton truck will carry
about 20 head OF hogs. The floor
space of the truck, when small stock.
such as sheep and hogs, are trans
ported, is often increased by double
decking. AS a rule, the motor ex-
press companies operate trucks of
four or FIVE tons capacity, while the
vehicles owned by farmers usually
carry one or two tons.
Increase Here.
Figures indicate how the motor
truck delivery Of live stock at the
South Omaha yards has increased
in the last two years In the first
nine months of 1917 there were only
52,l2o hogs in the Omaha drive in"
There was an increase of 90 per cent
in the same period in 1918, 1920
hogs being delivered by the truck.
The cattle drive in" from July to
September, inclusive, 1917, was H.
l8o head, and in the same period in
1918, 1851 cattle.
The Cincinnati, Indianapolis and
Louisville markets receive a large
part Of their hogs directly from the
farms by motor trucks. One typical,
double-deck truckload of live stock
unloaded at the Cincinnati stock
yards in the presence of a repre-
sentative of the Department of
Agriculture, consisted of three $50
pound cattle, seven calves weighing
$50 pounds each and II hogs averag-
ing 1856 pounds. Another load con-
sisted of seven 750-pound cattle,
while other loads were made up of
from 10 to rs hogs, weighing from
Us to 225 pounds each.
The custom in hauling stock by
motor-truck to the Cincinnati mar
ket is to charge a fiat rate of from
SIS TO $50 trip for the use of the
large truck to convey the stock from
Is to 40 miles. One shipper reports
that he hauled rs hogs 43 miles in
four hours, and that the actual
shinkage of these hogs, which
weighed approximately 200 pounds
apiece, was from six to 10 pounds.
Kansas City and Denver.
At Kansas City a marked increase
in the local "drive in" has resulted
largely from the increased use of
motor trucks. During the first
eight months of 1918, 1887 hogs
were handled by motor truck and
wagon, an increase of q, sos over the
same period of 1917. Denver notes
an increase of 223 per cent in sheep,
IL per cent in hogs, and Is per cent
in cattle in the local drive in" dur
ing the first eight months of 1918,
compared with 1917. At St. Joseph.
Mo-, the "drive in" during the last
year has more than doubled through
the use of trucks. In single day at
St. Joseph 1,400 hogs, 200 cattle,
and a considerable number of sheep
were brought to the market in 100
motor trucks. .-.r
With good, permanent roads on
the boom in all parts of the country,
and transportation by truck more
satisfactory in every way, the de-
partment investigators believe that
the future promises cheap and eff
cient marketing of stock in power
vehicles The effect of market fluc-
tuations is reduced to the minimum,
because, in the main, only a few
hours are required from the farm to
the stockyard. ...

proper air pressure for tires is really
simple matter.
A tire gauge Is not absolutely nee

Of your car and observe that the tires
are full and round, that they do not
sag noticeably under the weight of

should not be reduced in summer
because decreases cause the tires to
bend more, create more friction and

are inclined to make a complicated

INCREDUL0US
Of MILWAUKEE, FIGHT

London, Dec. S.--With surprise, IN
credulity and disappointment to the
point of alarm, London received the
news of the downfall of their other
fistic IDOL Jimmy Wilde. This was
doubly hard coming SO soon after the
knockout Of Joe Beckett.
Still feeling that the little flyweight
champion represents the last word In
fighting machinery, Britishers were in
clined to attribute his defeat by Jack
Sharkey in Milwaukee Saturday night
to be the result of a decision caused
by anti British sentiment.
After their fights here with the
champion in which they claimed they
were given "bum decision" Pal moore
and Joe Lynch said, wait till we get
him in America" Londoners think that
this decision was the first blow taken
by America in defense of her bantams.
Commenting on the fight the Tele-
gram said:
"Sharkey is not in the same class
with Wilde. 1t is hard to believe that
he could even hold his own. We Won
der if the decision was not influenced
by feeling against Wilde"

Enough good timber may be released
out OF here this week to keep the fires
burning until spring.
Three meetings of major and minor
moguls are booked for the first three
days of the week.
First, Davie Fultz and his Interna
tionaI league will hold the boards. In
side information promises to shoot off
a bunch of sparks when they get to-
gether today. J. j. McCaffery, presi-
dent of the Toronto club, came back
from Cuba for the expressed purpose
of agitating new president. Akron
won the race for the Binghamton
franchise and another equally spirited
rush is expected for the Newark hold
ings. Syracuse will probably get the
call.
Under sprigs of olive, with the dove
every place in evidence, the National
league barons will assemble tomorrow.
Everything is serene apd peaceful In
the ranks of the older organization.
The only chance for a scrap might be
in the session of the peace mission
from the minors.
The National sleagpe moguls want to
make capital out of the political row
in the American circuit. To make the
world know they are above petty
pickering" they may decide to ride
over the Herman controversy and go
for another year with Garry occupying
the chair of the national commission.
Fireworks and more fireworks are
carded for Wednesday. Two meetings
of the American league magnates are
scheduled and there may be more. Ban
johnson and his five loyal and faithful
clubs will get their heads together in
Chicago and appoint a new board OF
directors that will promise not to run
the ship on the rocks.
Meanwhile at the same hour the trio
rebels, Rupert, Comiskey and Frazee
will hold a board of directors meeting
in New York. If they meet here they
can not be in Chicago so it will prob
ably be up to the courts to say which
