RURAL HAULING PROFITABLE
Many Farmers, Whose Trucks Are Not
Filled to Capacity, Help Out
Their Neiqhbers.

Many Of the motortrucks on farms
adjacent to large cities are not loaded
TO full capacity on their trips to the
city. Few farmnrs have their busi-
ness so arranged as to permit the use
OF the truck to its maximum capacity
regularly. Many such farmers, accord
Ing to the United States department
OF agriculture, have gradually begun
to haul part or all of their neigh
bors' products to market, and in some
cases this practice has led to the es-
adjustment of regular route. Some
farmers have been enabled to purchase
trucks, because their own business,
coupled with that OF their neighbors',
has been sufficient to warrant such an
investment

This stupendous movement, the scope

sound business considerations. Good
roads pay. If they did not, the nation
would not now be constructing and
planning them on, an unprecedented
scale. They pay by promoting the So

lieve the congestion that is making
maelstroms OF municipalities. But,
more important still, they pay in dol

$11O,S40, 773--a sum which indicates
how fully the nation is convinced that
better roads mean better business. The
total federal funds available to aid
the states In their road-buiidlng pro-

the combined expenditures of state,

Several years ago information sc
cured by the department of agriculture
from $500 correspondents indicated
that the average cost of hauling on ar
unimproved country road was 22.I
cents a ton-mile. Today. with price
levels much higher. the cost would be
even greater.
While 1t Is difficult to estimate nc
curately what the saving would be u
all highways were improved in the dis
tricts represented by these replies,
specific instance makes the benefit
plain. A farmer In southern state
had to haul ton Of barbed wire q
miles, over unimproved roads. He
found that with two-horse team his
maximum load was 500 pounds, and
that three days were required to make
one round trip. To haul one ton, there.
fore, required IL days to make one
round trip. Allowing So day for mar
and team the cost was $40 After the
roads in this region were improved, the
same team could draw ton to the
load and make one round trip in two
days, at cost Of $12. The ton-mile
cost under old conditions was $31S,
and this cost was reduced to so cents
by the improved road.

construction OF narrow, single-track
roads with improved surface will re

wheat in the vicinity Of these roads Is
30 bushels to the acre, there results,
for an average haul Of five miles, an
