ADVANTAGES OF MOTOR TRUCK
save Much Time In Hauling Materials
to and From Farm-Bis Draw
back Is Poor Roads.

According TO an investigation into
the worth and service of motor trucks
on eastern farms, specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture find that motor trucks, as COM
pared to horses and wagons. last year
saved from one-half to two-thirds of
the time required for hauling mate
rails to and from the farms This in
formation was CLEANED from study of
reports from 753 farms, and they
showed further that trucks ranging In
size from one-half ton to five tons
were in use. with about half of them
OF the one ton size.
An interesting fact obtained from q
study of these reports is that about
one-fourth OF those reporting have
changed their markets for at least a
part of their produce. Instead of
patronizlng their old markets at an
average distance of seven miles from
home, they go to better markets To-
Gated at an average distance of 20
miles away. During the year these
trucks travelled an average of $500
miles at costs ranging from eight
cents ton mile for the one-half ton
trucks to 20 cents a ton mile for the
two ton size.
The average cost of hauling crops.
with the drivers time valued at so
cents an hour amounted to so cents a
ton mile with half ton trucks, "a cents
for three-fourths ton trucks and de-
creasing to IS cents ton mile for the
two ton kind. Along with these costs,
four-fifths OF those reporting stated
that their trucks decreased their ex-
pense for hired help, this decrease
averaging 1924 a year.
The principal disadvantage of the
motor truck. according to this investi-
cation, was poor roads. 1t is stated
that there are about eight weeks dur

ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at Interna
tional Live Stock Show at Chi
caso-carried Off Sweepstakes
for All Wheat

Something that lends emphasis to
and affords definite proof of, the gen.
crosby of the soil and climate OF
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country, al
many of the leading state and county
fairs In the United States this season
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of a total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by farmer living In
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of a total Of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only In grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as first-class agri-
y
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, a partial list of which fol-
lows:
Cattle. Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns {:
also in the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses, Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham
pionship for American bred mare, as
well as first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion, first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class, Canada OBJ
tanned first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, in
addition to frs prize in all group

ing the year when the roads are in
such condition, because of mud, snow,
etc, that motor trucks cannot be
used, as the roads over which three
fourths of the trucks had to travel
were unpaved dirt roads. But in spite
of bad roads the average life of tine
trucks was placed at 61a to years
and the largest single item OF expense
In connection with their operation was
that of depreciation.
Most of the owners of the one-half
and three-fourths ton trucks prefer
pneumatic tires, the owners of one
ton are about half divided between
pneumatic and solid tires, while those
owning larger trucks were favorable
TO the solid tires.

CHIEF BENEFITS BY FARMER
Lower Cost Of transportation, VIII
Better Markets and Higher
Prices for Products.

Perhaps one OF the chief benefits
which will be derived by the farmer
from the construction of good roads
through his particular district is that
of an increased production coupled
with better market and higher price
for his goods and lower cost OF
transportation. All of these things go
hand in hand with the construction
of good roads and all of them have
sound economic reasons at their base.

While It is true that various factors
