Farmers Own Trucks

At least 50.000 farmers In the United States own motor trucks which they use on their farms. This is shown by g preliminary survey of the ownership and use of motor trucks by farmers undertaken by the office of farm man. agement and the bureau of crop esti- mates of the United States department of agriculture. The ldata secured by this inquiry answer many questions which have been asked repeatedly 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 approximately 35,- coo selected crop reporters of the bu- reau of crop estimates. These co -op- orators were asked to- report the names and addresses of farmers they knew who own motor trucks for farm use. Pleasure cars and trailers for use with pleasure cars were excluded, and the reporters were asked not to take account of trucks which are used pri- marily for general custom hauling, O. on regular established routes.
 This survey can scarcely be consid- cred Q complete census, fer 1t Is prob able that in some localities the crop reporters were not acquainted with all the truck owners. but it is certain tha; a very large per cent have been listed It Is believed that in no state were less than 75 per cent of the trucks re- ported. If not complete in every re spect. the figures show the relative distribution very satisfactorily.

Nitrate From Chile

Indications are that enough Chilean ni- trate will reach the United States to meet the nitrate requirements of Amer ican farmers for this season. The limit ing factor was lack of tonnage to brsng the nitrate to American ports. The de- partment of agriculture on February ' placed before the shipping board the ne cessity for prompt action in making such tonnage available. A conference was heI> on February II between the shipping ohoard and representatives of principal nitrate concerns and an agreement was reached under which the board agrees to furnish prompt requisite tonnage covering the period from now until July 1. After that date, according to the agreement, in,- porters will submit their sales on the first of each succeeding month and the shipping board will enter into further en- gaeemerts to supply the required tonnage
 Deliveries will be somewhat delayed for February and March. but nitrate concerns believe that they will now be able to handle April. May and June arrivals in such way as to clear up all deliveries that are belriNd and to take care of the forward business in good form. Incica- tione are that importers will mako deltv- eries in accordance with contract. aubject e .some possibls delay during tho noxt

Trucks for Roadbuilders

To date the war department has turned over to the United States department of agriculture approximately A.ooo motor vehicles. as provided in congressional leg islation empowering the latter depart rnent to distribute this war material among the state highway commissioners for use in road building, allotments of of federal cid for roads which the states receive. This is practically all the ve- hic.es which the war department has to release. Of th.s total 12,ooO have been delivered to ths states. The remainder will be e5xlfsSatnS es fast as railway cars can be r~ssaesd for their transportation. RaprIsaatahsyea ef She bureau of public ro..Ss, in c:sarge ox the matter, believe thae within two or three months all of tho vehicles will nave been delivered to the states. This equipment promises to be great aid in carrying out the large road iJsldins programme for 1920.
 The state highway commissioners are also interested in securing ailotments of tractors, steam shovels, locomotive cranes, autcmsbiie cranes, industrial railway track, dump cars and industrial iocomo- tives which remain to be disposed of by the war department measure known as the Kahn bill, directing the Secretary of War to release this material for the state highway commissioners, has passed the Senate and has been reported out oi committee in the House Until the Sec retary of War has been directed by Con- gress to turn over this equipment 1t is not likely that 1t will be available foi state distribution
