But he's wrong again. Cost Per Ton for Hauling Reduced in Many Instances by Substitution of Power Traction SK- the -average business man "What branch of in dustry is the largest user of motor trucks today?" The answer seems obvi ous. Who but the retail The farmer of the United _States is the largest user of motor trucks in the world. Reliable statistics compil ed for 1917 show that there were 79,789 motor trucks engaged in haul ing farm products at that time, top ping the list. The manufacturer came second with a total of 75,928 motor* trucks to his credit, and the re tail merchant third with a total of 74,486. It is estimated that during 1918 approximately 350,000,000 tons of farm products were handled by mo tor trucks by the farmers and truck gardeners of the United States. Durjng the past year-the United States department of agriculture con ducted an extensive couhtry-wide in vestigation to determine the practical value of the'motor truck to the farm er. The results of this investigation were published in the monthly ^jrop report for October, 1918, issued by the United States department of agricul ture. This report showed that the per ton mile cost of hauling farm products with motor trucks was in^ many in stances less than one-half that of hauling with horse and wagon. The specific figures indicate that the per ton mile cost of hauling wheat or corn with motor truck is 15 cents, as compared to 30 cents and 33 cents, respectively, with horses. This ip the average for the United States, the figures varying, of course, in different localities. The report shows that in the South hauling cotton by horse and wagon costs the planter 48 cents per ton mile, whereas he is now dofhg the same work with the motor truck at the nominal cost of 18 cents per ton mile. Aside from its value as an econom ical transport uqjt for handling crops, the motor truck is used extensively for delivering livestock to the big packing centers. During the year of 19l8 a total of 199,076 head of livestock were delivered to the South Omaha stock yards by motor truck. This total com prised 188,417 head of hogs, 5,848 head Real Phonograph AND SELECTION OF SIX RECORDS GIVEN TO YOU Here is our New Style E. D. L. Phonograph—the latest improvement— without the horn.

Motor truck deliveries by farmers are being made on a similar ^cale at all the leading stockyards. A total of 575 motor trucks from the country loaded with livestock were counted in one day at Indianapolis last summer. The reason for the popularity of the motor truck in this branch of farm transportation is quite evident when it is known that the livestock shrink age saved by tfris method over horse and wagon or railroad shipment amounts to enough, as a rule, to offset the'cost of motor truck operation. The most recent development in rural motor truck transportation is the rural motor express. In Iowa alone there are 187 motor trucks op erating on regular 'advertised sched ules, serving the farmers along* the routes covered. In Arkansas, one ru ral motor express concern covers a route of 1Q0 'miles and hauls to 12 in land postolffices. HIS EXPERIENCE Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I sowed a part of my farm to marquis wheat in the year of 1917 and it was almost a total failure, whereas the bluestem and fife made a good crop under the same conditions. There was a late frost that year that seemed to kill it. K. STEENERSON. ,V Upham, N. D. Offers All Wool Suit for $25.00 CHICAGO, March 7.-—Mr. James D.
