Barter, director of transportation: for the Illinois Agricultural Association. ‘The individual trucker, he said, has a heavy responsibility in keepjng our war economy rolling. The existing supply of motor trucks is all but irâ€" replaceable and every extra mile each truck can be made to travel insafety is a direct aid to the war effort. The Office of Defense Transportaâ€" tion has issued orders to require full loads and to stop duplication of moveâ€" ments. Clearing houses have been set up in large cities to help truckers obtain full loads, Baxter said. The ODT has â€"also issued: recommendaâ€" tions to truckers on the care of their trucks and tires. The Farm Credit administration, he said, has issued a booklet "How To Organize Farmers‘ ‘Transportation and Assembling Assoâ€" ciations" for the purpose of conseryâ€" ing tires and equipment.
