There has existed in Spain for near
~ a year feminist society organized
under the name Of the Union Of the
Women Of Spain. The society is work
ing for the education of Spanish wom-
en-, the improvement Of their econom-
&c status, and the obtaining of private,
civil and political rights for them
equal to the ones which men enjoy.
There Is a great deal to be done along
these lines in Spain since married wo-

Cream separators, ensilage cutters,
and the like are connected with the
trucks engines and operated. One
truck is equipped with a complete farm
lighting plant. and this is used to pro-
vide lights for a speakers stand and

Experts figure that the farmers
haulage and transportation problems
are quite as important right now as
the production of crops. This ma
tional motortruck development tour
Is designed as a practical means OF
proving motortruck efficiency to the
American people.
Each manufacturer concerned in the
run is driving his truck to the farm
er's door and demonstrating it's ability
to perform over every type of road
and under every condition in soft
fields. In other words, these build
ers are not merely proclaiming the
value of their commodity but are prov
ing its sturdiness and worth by actual
demonstration.
The need of power wagons on the
farm is evidenced by the number al
ready owned and operated by Ameri-
can farmers. The potential market for
motortrucks in the farm field has not
until recently been given appreciable
attention by the big truck builders and
distributors. They have put forth
practically no effort to supply this
field, but the farmers need of motor
ized help in the absence of man power
has forced him to buy.
"Few farmers will argue against the
value of the power wagon in their
homes" says Official Lecturer Kroh
'What they need is intelligent instruc.
ton as to size, power, body and tire
equipment, and cost of operation.
"The evolution in the methods OF
production on farms from the hand
planter, cultivator, the scythe and
strike to the more modern machinery
such as self-binders, ETC., drawn by
horses and later by tractors was 6
perfectly natural trend of progress
Just as natural is the evolution from
the pack on the back, the camel, the
OK cart, and the horse-drawn vehicl,
to the power wagon to solve the farm
er's haulage problems.
"From 1850 to 1900, when the oIc
hand methods of farming were il
vogue, farm values in America in
creased from $4,OOO,OOO,OO0 to $4,000,
600 900. From 1900 to the present day
when the more modern methods hav
been in vogue, farm values have in
creased from $2O,OOO,OOOOOO to $75
O0C, 100000. This is due to the abil
ity Of the farmer to cultivate a wide
acreage more extensively and marke
his commodity more advantageous

is at present almost no provision for

The Union of the Women of Spain is

and also, of course, in part to the mat
ter of supply and demand.
'From 1899 to 1900 the population Of
the United States increased 81 per
cent, and even with improved meth
DDS in these days it was only possible
to increase the production of food
stuffs 10 per cent-hence the in
creased cost of living.
In 1880 20 per cent of the popula-
tion of the United States lived on
farms. 1t was necessary then for
each farmer to produce only sufficient
food for himself and a mere fraction
of another family. Today over 20
per cent of the population of the
United States lives in the densely pop
| ulated cities. Each farmer must pro-
duce enough for himself and two ad-
ditional families in the United States,
not taking into consideration starving
Europe.
"The power wagon manufacturers
of America are face to face with the
fact that it is their duty to learn
quickly the needs of the American
farmer and produce and equip a ma
chine that will most efficiently and eco
nomically serve his needs.
''The United States department of
agriculture in 1918 made a very thor
ough survey of truck operations in
the rural districts. They found that
the length of hauls by motortruck
averaged lib miles, as against 8
miles with team and wagon; that 3.4
round trips were made per day with
the motortruck against 1.5 round
trips with the team that with the mo-
| tortruck wheat and corn have been
transported to market at 10 cents per
ton mile, as against 30 cents per ton
mile for wheat by team and 80 cents
per ton mile for corn by team.
"These facts would indicate that in
point of time and miles covered the
motortruck is practically four times
as efficient as the horse and wagon.
And of course it is self evident that
the time saved enables the farmer to
do a more perfect job of preparation,
planting, cultivation and harvesting.
"The efficiency of motortrucks and
the broadening of their field of opera
tions has been increased more by the
development of pneumatic tires than
by anything that has come to the In
dustry in years.
"Pneumatics materially increase the
life of the truck, reduce operating and
repair bills and give much greater mile.
