Fifty Thousand Farmers Own Trucks
At least $4,000 farmers in the Unit
I'd States own motor trucks which
they use on their FARMS This is
shown by preliminary survey of the
ownership and use of motor trucks
by farmers undertaken by the Office
Of Farm Management and the Bureau
IF Crop Estimates of the United
Department of Agriculture. The data
secured by this inquiry answer many
questions which have been asked re-
peatedly in recent years regarding the
extent to which motor vehicles are
used for farm hauling.
The figures on which totals for the
Nation and the several States are
based were secured from approx

TRUCKS PLAY BIG PART IN
CLEANING SNOW OFF ROADS

Hundred of important highways
are open this winter for motor and
passenger car traffic for the first time
in history, reports the Travel and
Transportation Bureau of the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company, who are
conducting nationwide campaign of
highway snow removal.
The almost continuous sound of
snowstorms that have swept the
northern states this winter have
worked severe hardships on railroad
and interurban lines. Thus the de
mands on inter-city motoring truck
ing companies have multiplied at al
unusual rate. In many sections the
traffic on highways was practically
uninterrupted.
! State and county highways officials
are to be commended for their prompt
and efficient snow removal methods
says the Goodrich Bureau. Noteworthy
examples Of splendid cooperation
from highway authorities are cited il
the states of Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and sections OF
Michigan. Well organized forces ir
these states have greatly relieved
traffic tie-ups.
Roads in the vicinity of Minneapoli.

equipped with snow plows. Will

charge of the work, states that one
truck can keep 80 miles of road clear.

Country roads in the vicinity OF
Milwaukee are kept open. by pro
gram agreed on by town boards anc
county highway officials.
Motor truck plows and horse teams
are employed and the roads have beer
readily accessible for the greater par
of the winter. Milk companies have
been hauling milk on sleighs on the
country lanes to the main roads, where
they transfer the loads to trucks ant
proceed to the cities.
Interest in snow removal has spread
over the entire country. The state
of Washington is planning to operate
rotary snow plows over famou.

VALUE OF WEATHER REPORTS
New Service Proving of Much Benefit
to Automobile Owners Where
Ii Has Been Tried.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The highway weather service, one
of the new enterprises of the United
States department of agriculture
operated through the organization of
the weather bureau. is proving of
benefit to automobile owners where
it has been tried. The meteorologist
in charge of the weather bureau office
in Kansas City, Mo-, recently re-
ported:
1.-THE demand for a road reporting
service is quite general and insistent
and it will continue so. increasingly
until dirt roads become an anachron
ism. This Office established q road OIL
highway reporting service April l OF
this year and, without exaggeration
it is equal to the most practical ser
vice which our Office otherwise car
perform. 1t amounts to the direction
of public motor travel. and persons
start or postpone trips as we advise
The highway weather service was
begun as war measure i'm aid OF
motor transportation and was con-
Quoted with emergency money until
the end of the war. Though congress
made no appropriation for its continu
ance during the present fiscal year
the demand for it was such that the
department is endeavoring to continue
it without special funds to meet the
expense.

Episcopal Church
Against Socialism,
Says Bishop Burch

Bishop Charles 8. Burch has appealed
to the women. as we'll as to the men of the
Episcopal diocese OF New York to aid him
in convincing the public that the Epis-
copal Church is absolutely against social
ism Bolshevism and "redism" He made
an addregs before the Churchwomen' :
League for Patriotic Service Wednesday
afternoon IN the directors room Of the
Metropolitan Life Building. which caused
considera BILE comment. and many women
already have written TO the Bishop prom
ising him unqualified support.
The Episcopal Church does not harbor
soc;alistic, anapchistic or Bolshevistc
ideas" declared Bishop Burch." Even
if one or two or more voices within her
fold have been raised in opposite direc-
tions. still the Episcopal Church has rev.
erenco for constituted authority.
I'm not going to make the sort of tall,
YOU expect from me. I'm afraid" con-
tinued Bishop Burch. I'm going 10 ask
you women 10 help mo I'm every way that
YOU can to quell growing fear that seems
to have taken possession of tho public
that the Episcopal Church Is harboring
disloyalty TO tho government. I want YOU
to make II clear 10 every ono that the
spirit of socialism. Bolsheyism or any
other ism does not exist in this church
"If could show you tho great pile OF
letters on my desk questioning the loyalty
Of the Episcopal Church or voicing the
fear OF some one that the loyalty Of the
Church was being questioned YOU would
be surprised. IT seems amazing that any
one could accuse this Episcopal Church
OF being disloyal 10 the government"
