TRUCKS AIDING ROAD PLANS

fBy WINDSOR T. WHITE. Chairma,
motor Truck Committee. National Auto
mobile Chamber OF CommerceD
Motor highway transportation has
grown to such vast importance In the
past few years and has so well dem
onstrated its value and efficiency that
II has won official public recognition IN
many of our states. But this activity
can develop I'm sound economic way
only. as good roads programs are de-
veloped. While there are examples
where motor transportation has sue
ceeded when run in territories that
have updevclopcd roads. they, in com
parisOn with the thousands Of mo-
tortruck routes, are practically negli-
gible.
one Of our greatest wastes i'm the
handling Of the prime necessity. food.
occurs In our present transportation
methods. Hundreds of millions of dol
lars are annually wasted because the
present method of transportation
adapted to our present road system rs
so costly that It does not pay to move
this food from the farm to an area Of
consumption.
1t is said that New York state has
1900 miles of surface highways and
79,39S miles Of unimprOved rural roads,
While the state has much higher per
Centnge of improved roads than is com
mon f0g the United States. they do not
benefit the farmer rs much as coulc
be desired
Long Island is one of the most pros
porous agricultural areas in New York
state. II is not exceptionally fertile; in
fact. It may he said that it is fertile
because man has made II so. There are
many areas i'm the state that are nat
urally more productive than Long Is
land, but which are far less prosper

the island you would know the reason
why the island farmers are famous
for their product and financial indie
pendence. A well-planned, well-con
structed. and finely maintained sys
TEN of roads is the greatest asset the
island has. Every evening one can see
hundreds of motOrtrucks, from two tC
five ton capacity, rolling over these
roads, bound for the New York mar
ket. Here is no 80 nor 40. nor ever

CINNERS ASKED
TO COOPERATE
EFFORTs TO BE MADE 10 HAVE
SOUTH CAROLINA LEAD IN
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
FOR WAREHOUSES.

The following letter has been adj
dressed to the ginners Of South Caro-
lima by the South Carolina Division of
the American Cotton associations:
ITO maintain a profitable market
for the Souths principal crop--cotton
lis the most important commercial
problem now requiring the careful
study and energetic efforts of south
ern people. One of the essentials in
solving this problem is to get suffi
cient warehouse space to satisfy our
warehouse needs into the hands Of in
terests that are friendly to the cotton
producer.
"The u. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture estimates the country damage to
cotton as causing a loss Of so million
dollars annually to the growers. In
addition cotton not stored in a ware
house cannot be used as collateral for
loans.
There is a great business oppor-
tunity now available to ginners in the
building of cotton warehouses for the
use Of their patrons in storing cotton
until marketed. Country damage
and danger from fire loss starts the
minute the bale Of cotton is rolled out
OF the gin house. The logical place
for many farmers to warehouse cotton
is in warehouse located at the gin
nery. =,
Such warehouses may be erected
OF wood framing and galvanized metal
to conform to the state warehouse
plans at an estimated cost Of $500 per
bale capacity. Blue print plans for
these warehouses may be secured free
OF charge from Mr. J. C. Rivers, State
Warehouse Commissioner, Columbia,
s. G. If these warehouses are entered
in the state warehouse system the
warehouseman will get a cheaper 80
surance rate than is otherwise possi-
BILE and the warehouse receipts are
easily negotiable. There is no reason
why such warehouses should not pay
good dividends to the ginners who
erect them.
'"The following table shows the
average cost of warehousing under the
