It is "true that roads will influence this influx of the motor truck into our rural life, but roads nte being improved. l'erhaps a little setback has been given .

The propaganda propa-ganda for improved roads has converted i hp masses of the eople, and v. hat the ; n.a.-jes want they are coin to have.

'There are about tvidl'.OOO farms in lee t'niied States, of these the Gar-ford companv estimates that 2.U00.000 can use i rucks to a profitable advantage, and will within the next ten years. The - truck sentiment is growing. It started with the specialty farmers like the market mar-ket gardeners and the dairymen, and it will spread throughout tho country to all the various classes of farmers. The movement has gathered considerable momentum among the livestock men as well as the men who have vast acres of grain those men whose farms are a lone ways from the market and the efficiency ef-ficiency of the truck appeals to them. 'Manv big .'rain raisers in L'tah and Idaho are finding their salvation in i he motor truck this summer. With giain commanding high prices and labor ' scarce, they find it much cheaper to haul their "grain to the market or shipping ship-ping centers with motor trucks than with horses and wagons. Many proini-rent proini-rent farmers have had special bodies for hauling grain built on their truck chassis, thus doing away entirely with sacking their grain. ; "Tho motor truck is solving both the labor and transportation problems for many farmers today. Sheep raisers in Arizona and New Mexico are utiliz- - ing motor trucks for hauling hay and water great distances to their flocks. A farmer in Iowa is hauling his hogs to market in a big Garford truck. "One important thing for western - farmers to consider is to purchase a '- truck front a company having a fully established agency near at hnd, where extra parts can be had at a moment's notice. This is a big advantage the ! Hvland Motor company js able to offer j all truck buyers. We carry a full and complete line of parts and extras, and have our supply department in charge of expert service men. When farmers or business men buy Garford trucks I from this company they know that they will receive every necessary service j long after the truck has been delivered ; and paid for.
