Abstract
Excerpts: The livestock industry is one of the heaviest contributors to the traffic which moves over the improved roads that are now being built in the United States at the rate of 40.000 miles a year. Last year 300,000 head of livestock were delivered to the Kansas City Market by motor truck. At St. Joseph, Omaha, Sioux City, East St. Louis, Indianapolis and other markets, the drive-in trade is developing fast, and will grow to larger and larger proportions a s the roads are improved. As a result of the improvement of the roads and the convenience of the motor truck many people living at points more or less remote from the railroad now find it possible to have fresh meat as a part of their regular diet rather than as an occasional luxury.
