War Advantages Shown 9 Extensive investigation on the part of the Council of National Defense has served to demonstrate the following important war advantages resulting from the establishment of the Rural Motor Express and Return Loads systems: 1. PRODUCTION IS STIMULATED. Farmers invariably increase the variety and quality of their production when regular marketing facilities are made available. In every section studied, a great increase in the variety and the amount of production followed the establishment of the Rural Motor Express. 2 THE FARMERS ARE RELIEVED OF THEIR TASK OF HAULING THEIR PRODUCTS TO MARKET, AND THE EXISTING FARM LABOR SUPPLY IS THEREBY CONSERVED. The investigation shows that in some places the hauling done by five men with wagons can be done by one man with a motor truck at many times the speed. This leaves the farm laborers at work in the fields 3 ADDITIONAL FOOD IS MADE AVAILABLE BY TAPPING THE FARM COMMUNITIES WHICH HAVE NO OTHER GOOD SHIPPNG FACILITIES. Much of this additional food is now either wasted or greatly deteriorated because of poor shipping facilities. Rural Motor Express is especially needed now when labor is scarce and food demands are high. Farmers and merchants alike enthusiastically favor the system. In many farm communities where the rural express is in operation, the farmers state that an interference with this service would immediately result in reduced production. The Highways Transport Committees of the State ana County Councils of Defense are lending every encouragement possible to the establishment of Rural Motor Express lines and Return Loads. Their further operation is not only economic, but highly patriotic and wherever possible should be established at once and encouraged to the nfaximum. inquiries should be addressed either to County Councils of Defense or the Highways Transport Committee of the Indiana State Council of Defense, Room 83 State House, Indianapolis, Indiana.
