GEOGRAPHICAL PHASES OF FARM PRICES: OATS. 
COSTS OF HAULING TO SHIPPING POINTS. 
Prices are influenced also by distance from shipping points, con- 
dition of wagon roads, and other things affecting wagon trans- 
portation. 
Table 3 gives cost of hauling as estimated for 1906. Such costs 
are frequently higher than the costs of long shipments by rail or 
water.
