Who but the retail merchant can be the largest user? No? Well, then, the manufacturer, of course! But he’s wrong again. 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 850,000,000 tons of farm products were handled by mo- tor trucks by the farmers and truck gardeners of the United States. \ During the past year~the United States department of agriculture con- ducted an extensive country-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 grop 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 ig 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 doihg 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 urgt for handling crops, the motor truck is used extensively for delivering livestock to the big packing During the year of 1918 a total of 199,076 head of livestock were v| delivered to the South Omaha stock- yards by motor truck. This total com- prised 188,417 head of hogs, 5 848 head Farmer Largest User of Motor. Trucks Cost Per Ton for Hauling Reduced in Many Instances by Substitution of Power Traction of cattle and 4,811 sheep. Stock was brought in by farmers from distances up to 70 and 80 miles. Motor truck deliveries by fatmers are being made on a similar scale at all the leading: stockyards. A total of 5756 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 transportahon is quite evident when it is known that the livestock shrink- age saved by this 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-.2a routesof 100 ‘miles and hauls to 12 in- land postoffices. 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 1t. K. STEENERSON. Upham, N. D. Offers All Wool Suit for $25.00 CHICAGO, March 7.—Mr. James D. Bell, head of the Bell Tailors, Adams at Green St., Chicago, Ill., said to be the largest made-to measure clothing establishment in the world, recently stated that his firm is now able to quote: prices on spring and summer suits 35 per cent below what others ask. To prove his point he showed the wrlter a very attractive piece of all "wool cassimere for which they ask only $25 a suit, made to individual measure, whereas the same fabric is now being offered by others at $35 to $40 per suit. Even larger savings are of- fered on their higher priced suits. Every reader of- the Nonpartisan -Leader should write Mr. Bell for his price list and a free copy of his style book No. 814 which contains large cloth samples of many beautiful pat- terns.—Adv.
