AGRICULTURE

The efficiency of the motor truck on
the farm has been the subject of con-
siderable conversation among the
farmers. When a farmer contemplates
the purchase Of machine and is I'M
decided as to its practicability for his
use, the experiences of other farmers
who have owned and used that par
ticular kind of a machine should be
valuable, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. According
ly, the department has gathered the
opinions and other more definite in
formation from a large number Of
motor truck users over various parts
Of the country.
Among the outstanding facts sug-
gested by analysing the data collected
may be suggested the following:
| The use of a motor truck in many
instances enables a farmer to take
advantage of better markets at great
er distances from his farm than were
available when his hauling was done
with horses. For those truck owners
who have changed markets the dis
lance to the new markets averaged
nearly double the distance to those
formerly used.
In the area covered by these reports
trucks having a capacity of 1 ton
comprised nearly half the total num-
Der concerning which replies were re-
ceived, while slightly over half of the
owners who in 1922 gave their opin-
ions as to the size best suited for
their conditions stated they preferred
the 1-ton machines.
Over 80 per cent of the owners
stated they believed their trucks
would prove to be profitable invest
ments, and that they intended to pur-
chase others when those reported on
were worn out.
Saving of time was given as the
greatest advantage and poor roads as
the greatest disadvantage connected
Will CIlG USE VI IIlOCOI IIUChSe
On the average it requires less than
half the time to make haul of CIV
en- length with a truck that it does
with horses.
Not all of the road hauling was
done with trucks. Over 60 per cent of
the owners answering this question
stated that they used horses for a
small part of their road hauling.
While many owners usd their ma
chimes for some hauling on the farm
itself large part of such hauling was
still done with horses.
A small percentage of the owners
stated that they did some custom
work, but that it constituted on the
average only about one-tenth of the
total hauling done with their ma
chimes.

CONTENDS ONLY MEN
SHOULD BE ON JURY

Robert Il. Kelley of Valley county
contends that when judge issues an
order for 30 good and lawful men from
which a jury is to be picked to try
him for possession of intoxicating
liquor, the judge means men, not
women. And he has carried to the
supreme court his case in which he
is trying to avoid a sentence of 100
DAYS in Jail and fine Of $3.50 i'm
posed by the court after the twelve
good women and true" found him
guilty. The arguments were heard by
the court Friday.
Kelley contends that all references
to jurors in the Idaho statutes are to
men and he further says that the
woman jury which convicted him was
illegally called in violation of a dis
trict court order. He questions, from
a piont of law. the right of women to
sit on a jury, because the legislature
has made no specific provision for
female jury.
The raid in which Kelley was ar
rested was made last September and
at the time of the trial challenge to
the jury panel because it was called
by the sheriff and his deputy, VINO
we're witnesses in the case. The court
recognized his challenge and ordered
the coroner to summon 30 good ana
lawful men. The coroner called 50
women.
Again Kelly challenged but this
time in vain. The case went to trial
and he was convicted.
