TEW of those who consume farm products
realize the extent to which the price of
such commodities is affected by automo-
tive machinery.
The fact that the cost of field work is reduced
by the use of tractors is well known. The fact
that the farmers time is conserved by the use of
automobiles is matter of common knowledge.
Now comes the National Automobile Association
in its Year Book of 1922 with the statement
that the cost of hauling products in horse-driven
wagons from the farm to shipping points averages
soc per ton mile for wheat and 35c for corn,
while over the same roads the cost of hauling
by motor truck is only 15c per ton mile.
That the intelligent farmer in the 10 states

shown by the fact that he owns and operates
