ADVOCATE MOTOR TRANSPORTATION

As a step toward relieving the seriously congested conditions of the railToads, the Wayne county council of defense has appointed the following committee to look affr transportation on county highways : W. V. Reller. chairman of the county council of defense;

Harry Gilbert, county food administrator; Guy Roble. county fuel administra-1 tor; J. C. Kline, county agriculture agent, and Howard Horton, county surveyor. The duties of this committee will be to devise means of relieving the railroad stress due to the unusual demands and limited equipment, by encouraging wherever possible the use of motor trucks, a move that has been endorsed and urged by the Indiana state council of defense. It will also be the committee's business to plan to secure the repair or improvement where necessary of the main highways. The following Important war advantages which may result in the encouragement of a motor transport service, are outlined: Production is stimulated. Farmers invariably increase the variety and

quantity of their production when regular market 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 express. The farmers are relieved of their task of hauling their products to market, and the existing farm labor supply is thereby greatly conserved. Some insances show that hauling done by five men with wagons can be done with one man and truck at greater speed. Additional food is made available by tapping the fam communities which have no other good shipping facilities.

Much of this additional food is now either wasted or deteriorates because of poor shipping facilities.
