of farmers and merchants are
secured through county agricultural agents or their local organizations.
When the desirability of establishing a new route for a certain section
has been determined the committee proceeds to consult owners of trucks,
farmers, and other private owners to locate a man to establish the
route. Questions of scale of charges, the schedule of the trips,
character of produce to be carried, etc., are worked out by the
committee on the basis of experience of existing lines in the same
community, or other lines which have been surveyed by the state
committee.
Detailed suggestions on conducting these local surveys, methods of
making surveys through questionnaires, questions concerning roads,
charges, etc., will be furnished by the highways transport committee of
the Council of National Defense through the state committees. The plan
of organization is to adapt the service as perfectly as possible to
local requirements, utilizing at the same time the experience of
communities throughout the country as gathered by state and national
committees.
