In 1920 the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture sent out question
nsires to large number Of grain and
live stock farmers in the corn belt
who used trucks in their farming ope-
rations. A study Of the S31 replies
received shows some interesting re-
suits as published in Bulletin No. e3l
Only IA per cent of these farms are
less than FIVE miles from market and

Farmers in the spring-whe4t states

These facts are brought out 10 an
Investigation by the United States De
