MOTOR SERVICE BENEFITS Aflvocates of motor transportation service are eager to roint out the advantages of it to both the farmer and city customers. Some of these benefits have been compiled and are as follows: To increase the food supply by furnishing regular transportation of farm products. To stimulate the farmers' efforts by the knowledge that such transportation is available. To enable the farmer to avoid driving to town, thereby increasing his time or the farm and partly compensating for the shortage of labor. To enable the farmer to obtain goods from town on the day of order To generally facilitate traffic between the farmer, the market and the con

sumer. Specific advantages, considered from the standpoint of increased food production alone, are: Fruit, vegetable, milk arid eggs arrive In market or direct to door of the consumer fresh and desirable on the. day they leave the farm and command the highest market prices. Number of handlings is reduced from half a dozen to only two. Breakage of crates, damage to goods and loss by theft are reduced to almost nothing, as proved by experience. Small shipments that could not be hauled to market profitably by the producer can be sent by mot"r express, thereby increasing the Quantity received ly the the cUy and adding to the 'Tarmer's income. Trueks stop at the farmer's gate to rfek up freight, saving a drive to the railroad station. " 5eds, farm implements, repair parts for machinery, groceries and anything else reauired on the farm can be obtained from the city the day they are ordered by telephone or through the truek driver. Horses can be kept steadily at work in the fields or the number of horses required by the farmer can be reduced, thereby suring the heavy expense of feeding during the winter. The farmer is enabled to spend more time on The farm, therebv insuring grea'er efficiency among his men, teams and lB all other directions.
