TRUCKS TO HELP THE FARM HORSE ' Perhaps not so much to displace j horses on the farms, as to supplement : ! them and to release them for tasks i which are more important than haul-lling. haul-lling. is the reason why motor trucks ; ! must be used extensivelv bv fanners :'in the future, says C. X. Csrruthers. ; I manager of the United Motor Car ! ' I'Oiniiany, distributors of Nash cars and ' triu-ks. The mot urgent necessitv I that faces the farmer is that he till f all the acres he can manage. To do l' this will require the applicaiion of ev- ery available unit of farm power. Despite De-spite the fact that thousands of motor tractors already have found their way onto farms and augur the fact that thousands more will find their way there during this year, the enormous demand for farm power will not be supplied. This means that horses will have to i be used for longer hours and more continuously in the fields than ever before. Farmers in Utah and Idaho, as elsewhere, are coining to see this, and this season there will bo a bigger demand de-mand for trucks than ever before.
