Shortly before leaving England I
had read in the London Times a
lugubrious article on the effects Of
prohibition. written by an English
man who had been visiting America.
His verdict was that prohibition had
taken all the JOY out of American
life: that sprightliness and wit AMI
laughter had disappeared from dinner
tables; that the spirit Of gloom now
brooded over all evening functions
He must have been unfortunate in
his selection Of dining places. Ger
tainly there was no lack of merri-
ment, or even exuberance, at the first
dinner party I attended on my re-
turn. But, perhaps I was applying
English standards of hilarity.
Also perhaps when l revisit the
real United States, I'll find another
sort of prohibition.

lowed to freeze. A battery when
standing idle for any length of time
gradually loses its charge. Therefore
If the car Is not run regularly during
the winter, in order to keep the bat
terry fully charged, the engine should
be run at regular periods to charge,
or else the battery should be charged
from an outside source of current.
This should be done every two or
three weeks. The state Of charge can
be easily read from specific gravity

chased for about 81 from, an auto sup
ply dealer. A reading Of from 1880
to 1900 indicates full charge. The
reading is indicated by the numbers
on the hydrometer at the level Of the
liquid.
If the battery is fully charged it is
not apt to freeze when the tempera-
ire Is above zero, Fahrenheit. It is
best, however, to take the battery from
the car and into the house in extremely
cold weather.
External charging can be done from
an electric lamp socket IL the current
is direct, by the use of a resistance
to limit the current going into the bat
terry. If the current is alternating,
a rectifier must be used to make it
direct.

MOTOR TRUCK ON
FARM IS USEFUL
OF Utmost importance TO Get
Various Foodstuffs to Mar
ket In Quick Time.
Big vehicle IS Efficient
Increased Number OF Trips Alone
Places Car In Lead and Proves
It's Economy-Heavy Truck
u Has Many Advantages.

Time is the farmers capital The
difficulty Of employing adequate help
has discouraged more than one prac'
teal farmer from raising the crops
which would pay him the greatest
profits.
Always he has realized that to mar
ket the crops was Of such prime Inn
portance that he could not afford to
"stub his toe" by growing foodstuffs
which he would not be able to get to
market on time.
Frank Andrews Of the department
Of agriculture, bureau Of crop esti-
mate, has made very careful inves-
tigation Of the uses Of the motor truck
on the farm and the results he has
arrived at are amazing. Mr.. Andrews
says In part, "the estimated cost Of
hauling in wagons from farms to ship
ping points averaged in 1918 about 80
cents per ton mile for wheat, SO cents
for corn and 48 cents for cotton; for
doing the same hauling In motor
trucks the averages are Is cents for
wheat or corn and 10 cents for cot
ton. The motor truck will make an
average Of 3.4 round trips per day
over an average route from farm to
shipping point Of lib miles, while
wagons will make but IL round trips
over an average haul of 9 miles. The
increased number of trips alone will
place the motor truck In the lead and
prove Its economy. The fact Of the
matter is that, taking wheat as an ex-
ample, the average wagon load was
Sc bushels, while that Of the load Of
the average motor truck was "a
bushels"
Found Most Efficient
Not only are the heavy duty trucks
used exclusively on farms, but In
many sections where market garden
ing Is done the trucks Of III to two
ton capacity are found most efficient
by the truck gardeners. Where the
farm Is big, and the crops are staples
the heavy-duty truck is most effective,
but for the smaller farms the IL to
two ton truck Is found most desirable,
and every investigation made in re-
cent years has proven that this size
Of truck is the one best suited to use
on the farm.

has already entered actively into the
work of the present appeal, co-operat-
ing with the divisional officers In the
work
The amount that the Salvation Army
Is asking for to carry on its work the
coming year In the Gulf Division is
100000. The appeal in the Gulf Di-
vision is part of the national cam
paign, but each division and zone has
its separate quota, based on the &C
tual needs of the Salvation Army for
its work in that territory. AS was
the case in the appeal of 1919, quite a
number Of building funds are to be
included in the appeal of 1920. In
some cases, the funds are asked for
the purchase or erection of new build.
ings, in others to pay off obligations
on buildings already occupied by the
Army, while in many zones, the ap-
peal is only for the actual operating
funds for the work Of rescue and re-
lief of the Army, as anticipated by
the officials for the coming year.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1920-03-20

The most important points for the
man operating farm of any size to
consider are these: Primarily the
truck saves time; the farmer can get
his breakfast at home. go to market
and be back in time for dinner, which
was an utter impossibility when horse
and wagon were used.
Releases Five Acres.
It takes five acres Of land to raise
bedding and feed for every horse on
the farm. When the motor truck SUP
plants four horses 1t releases 20 acres
Of valuable land, which may at once
be utilized for the growing Of crops
which will pay a substantial profit.
When the truck is idle it doesn't cost
a cent. When the horse isn't working
he must eat just the same.
Against the possible 100 miles a day
which the truck can travel under load
good average team Of horses can
travel 20 miles In ten hours-that is
going ten miles loaded and ten miles
CAuply OfeI BOOu EOduS.
Think of the uses to which a truck
can be put on the farm! 1t will haul
produce to market and bring a return
load Of supplies to the farm. It will
haul water to the live stock; 1t will
haul wood for fuel; bring the imple-
ments to and from the fields; haul ma
nure to the fields and bring back q
load Of stones on the return trip; will
haul baled hay to the barns, corn bun.
dies to the silage cutter; handle the
grain, that Is, both the corn on the
ear and the threshed grain to the bin.
It will haul live stock to market, thus
making saving Of s to 8 per cent
over the shrinkage caused by driving
stock on the hoof.
Many Advantages.
A motor truck offers the farmer the
advantage of prompt delivery of his
perishable produce, thus reducing
waste through decay, as when ham
died by wagon or railroad, and turn
Ing into cash crops which would other
wise be lost. Through its speed 1t en-
ables him to run his farm with less
help, 1t increases the radius Of land
profitable for market gardening and
small farms around the cities, and will
pay for itself In the first six months
Of use through the actual net saving
1t will make on any modern farm.
With all these advantages and with
the absolute certainty Of successful
operation, there is no good reason why
the American farmer should hesitate
to purchase motor trucks today.
