The modern and better day to do It Is by motor. Not only Is tho motor vehicle, with its superior speed and endurance endur-ance helping to solve the transportation transpor-tation problems, but it is a real help with the food problem. Decause tho motor requires no tilled land for Its support, and becauso tilled land Is needed to ralso food for humans, wo have a patriotic urgo to use tho motor mo-tor wherever possible In carrying on tho work of tho world. Threo hundred thousand trucks were in use at tho beginning of this year. Each commercial motor vehicle ve-hicle takes the place, on the average, of threo horso drawn vehicles and four or five horses. It requires from four to flvo acres in many district , to produce feed for each horso, so that each truck means the release of about twenty acres of land for other agricultural purposes. Tho three, hundred thousand trucks release re-lease about six million acres from providing power for horse-drawn vehicles. ve-hicles. Three acres will support a man, so an army of two million can bo fed from the land that would be required to feed tho horses which would do tho work of tho trucks. It wo add to this tho trucks which have been put Into use this year, and tho hauling haul-ing done in pleasure vehicles, tho figures fig-ures would probably bo doubled. Dut this motor servlco Is not confined con-fined to truck service, but goes Into all the activities of farm work. The gasoline-drawn farm horso never gets tired. Equipped with lights, this new horse will work all night, and a girl can drive him. It Is really more de-slrablo de-slrablo to plow at night any hot day, as tho Irishman would say. |
