OF the 10000 hogs received at Ind
annapolis last Monday. $500 were de-
livered by truck. some Of them being
hauled as far as 80 miles. This made
a new high record. for trucked-in re-
ceipts have been growing during the
entire season. The truckers are cut
ting into the railway receipts very
rapidly and the truck division OF the
yards is gradually assuming great
prominence in that market.
There are mighty few market towns
of which this can be said, and at many
points a truckload Of hogs or veals
would be novelty. Take Pittsburgh
for instance. This quite important
market never saw a truckload Of live
stock, because they do not raise cattle
or hogs In that section. It IS a con
Stunning and not producing center
Nor are there any noticeable receipts
at Chicago by truck. though independ
ent packers. outside the yards, may
buy a few hogs from nearby farms
All the Chicago facilities and pens
are for handling by and yarding from
cars.
How Losses Often Occur
1t was figured that the trucked-in
hogs at Indianapolis on Monday were
worth 100000. and estimated that SOC
vehicles were used in the haulage, and
that at least $500 miles were ira
versed with the loads. Perhaps you
hadn't considered that this trucking
in often leads to a demoralized mar
ket. and for this reason:
These receipts are always an IN
known and unpredictable quantity
There is no telling how many farmers
are heading for Indianapolis with
loads. There may be few trucks
and there may be hundreds Of them
Railway receipts can be closely esti
mated from one day to three days in
advance. The brokers. packers anad
railway representatives are well In
formed as to loadings, where cars
have been called for. how many cars
etc.. and know Just when due to ar
rive. Large western markets can esti
mate very closely whether receipts
are to be 5000 or $4,000 and buyers
lay plans accordingly, depending on
their needs. The fact that this can
no longer be done at indianapolis
frequently affects shippers adverse
ly, when receipts are unexpectedly
large. You can't keep track Of truck
shipments or guage their number I'M
til they roll into the yards.
A Shortage Of Cars.
In handling stock by rail the un
loaded and disinfected cars are ready
to be reloaded for any all points the
so with trucked-in stock. Unless there
is surplus Of cars in or near the
yards, the hogs have to lie in the pens

SAVE ALL YOUR COTTON SEED
SUITABLE FOR PLANTING

In l917-ls large part of our
state, mainly central, northwest and
southwest Texas, practically made
no cotton, and was compelled TO buy
seed from the more favored sections
Of the State.
More than half Of the State must
buy planting seed for next year, and
these seed must come from central
and northwest Texas, where the
best seed are now known TO be. From
this section see dior planting next
crop must be obtained.
The Department Of Agriculture
now urges every farmer not only to
hold cotton, but TO also hold seed
suitable for planting. These seed
will bring the top prices. Already
some seed have sold for above the
market price. II you sell to the
mills, they will crush them or hold for
speculation. Store in dry safe
place and hold your seed, and be pre-
pared to ship in car lots. When
ready TO sell. list them with T. S.
