Such systems would aid, also, in dis- tributing imported supplies from the Ilarge cities to the smaller neighboring communities. Development of great feeder systems, in which produce will be hauled to shipping points for the long haul by railroads also is seen. Although there has been a rapid increase in the use of motor transportation of farm prod- ucts in the last few years from esteblished pro- ducing 'areas and from new growing regions formerly outside the range of wagon haul to cities, the motor transport business from farm to market is as yet practically unorganized and for the most part is in the hands of independent truckers. More or less organization already exists, however, in the distribution of produce from cities to small towns. The Government marketing officials believe that, as in the case of the motor-bus and air- plane transportation, it is only a question of a short time when the railroads, which have been facing increased competition in motor- truck transportation both from producing areas to consuming markets and in the distribution of produce from cities to small towns, will or- ganize transport systems which will furnish shippers and dealers a unified service. Motor-truck transportation of fruits and veg- etables has become so large a factor in the handling of the Nation's food supply that the Bureau of Agricultural Economics now is re- porting motor-truck receipts in its daily and weekly market news services at seven large con- suming markets—New York, Boston, Cincinnati, Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles and Port- land, Oreg. The reporting of rail and boat shipments en route and those expected to ar- rive at markets within the ensuing 24 hours has been one of the important features of the bureau’s market news system which enabled shippers and dealers to estimate probable mar- ket supplies, but no method has been found as yet for making similar reports on motor-truck shipments. The unorganized character of the mctor-truck business in fruits and vegetables makes it prac- tically impossible for the bureau to ascertain en route shipments save in unusual cases, such as out-of-State shipments from Delaware, where the movement northward passes through a vir- tual “bottle meck.” The situation is compli- cated further by the more or less general ap- pearance over the country of itinerant peddlers, who buy truckloads of farm produce in, say, Florida or Colorado, to be retailed in less-than- carload quantities to grocers in small towns in other nearby States. 47 Gives off wvapor. 51 Proper. 53 Uneven. 55 Late: comb. form 57 Pufl’ up. 59 More: Scotch. 60 Blind the eyes. 63 Feminine name. 66 Spread loosely. 68 Symbol for caesium. 3 70 Oursclves 106 Metal-bearing rock., 100 Short jump. 102 To dress hides. Transportation. The increasing importance eof the motor trucking of farm products is shown in a recent survey of the situation in Delaware and on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, made co-operatively by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the Delaware State Board of Agriculture. This survey showed that during the 1928 marketing season the shipments of fruits and vegetables boat aggregated 44,616 carloads, as compared with 5,862 equivalent carloads re- ported by motor truck. It is assumed that these motor-truck records represented only 80 per cent of the total motor-truck shipments, which would make the total miovement 7,327 equiva- lent carloads of fruits and vegetables by motor truck, or 14 per cent of the total movement from the area. The motor-truck movement from the Eastern - Shore of Virginia was equivalent to approxi- mately 811 carloads, compared with 2,421 for the Eastern Shore of Maryland and 2,391 for Delaware. These figures are exclusive of re- ported mixed trucklcads of fruits and vege- tables, equivalent to 239 cars. The survey dise closed that motor-truck transportation is fa- vored especially in connection with the move- ment of the highly perishable and more ex- pensive commodities. Strawberry shipments from the Eastern Shore section by rail and boat Iast season to- taled 2.121 carloads, compared with a reported motor-truck movement equal to 2,396 carloads. Available records indicate that in 1926 the rail shipments of strawberries were 2,862 cars, com=- pared with 1,086 ‘‘carload equivalents” reported by motor truck. thus showing a large increase in the use of the motor truck during the last two years. For the class of highly perishable commodi- ties including strawberries and other berries, cantaloupes, grapes, peaches, watermelons, as- paragus, beans, cucumbers, greens, peas, pepe pers, spinach and tomatoes, the mofor-truck rec- ords accounted for 4,703 equivalent carloads in 1928 and, assuming that these records were 80 per cent complete, a total motor-truck move=- ment of about 5,879 carloads of these commodi- ties is indicated. The movement of these com- modities by rail and boat last season totaled 5,496 carloads. The survey disclosed that Philadelphia and New York City are the principal destinations of motor-truck shipments from the Eastern Shore, these two markets having received about 82 per cent of the motor-truck shipments last season. Philadelphia received about 43 per cent of the quantity recorded, and New York and Newark together received abcut 46 per cent. The length of haul to Philadelphia from some of the im- portant producing districts of the Eastern Shore is about 125 miles and to New York about 225 miles. There also was a considerable move- ment by motor truck to the smaller cities, pare ticularly in Pennsylvania, although this movee ment represented only about 7 per cent of the total motor-truck movement reported. Straw- berry shipments by truck were reported to 21 ‘Pennsylvania markets, exclusive of Philadelphia.
