TRACTOR SALES
BECOMING BIG
Automobile Makers Are After
Farmers Trade. Many See
Demonstration.

The manifest interest being taken
In the farm tractor by prominent
automobile makers Is an indication
that before many years have passed
by that modern farm utility Will have
been brought TO a stage of perfec-
tion, and be quoted at such COM
paratively low price as to be within
reach of even the small farmer. says
Motor West, IL Pacific coast automo-
bile magazine. This has been due
to the gradual adaptation Of the in
tefnal combustion motor to the work
formerly performed by the steam
engine
Horses. formerly the main reliance
of the small farmer have so advanced
In price as to make the light tractor
formidable rival. Last month there
WAS held in Fremont, Neb., four
day demonstration of the tractor
which opened the eyes of the ninety
thousand spectators 10 the possibili-
ties of the modern farm utility. So
convincing were the demonstrations
that one company sold outright on the
field no fewer than lO9 tractors. and
actual sales of more than two hun
dred OF the machines were recorded
during the four days. the amount Of
money represented by the sales APP
proXimating S250.000. Forty differ
ent makes of tractors were on the
field, and many of the makers had
two or more models on display.
one make of tractor had its drive
wheels fitted with deep subsoil tlllcrs
curved IL to 24-inch spikes - in
stead of the usual traction lugs. An
other showed its PAGES by plowing
14h acres in 1llA hours Half of
the machines operated with kerosene
as fuel. one of the three small trac-
tors entered by well-known maker
of popular-priced cars ran on alcohol.
Nearly all the machines. whether us
ing gasoline or other fuel, completed
their work in steady, buslnesslike
manner and met with few mechanical
troubles.
The United States department of
agriculture recently found that n
tractor will pay on level tillable land
of not less than 100 acres. The
smaller, lighter and less expensive
tractors, with capacity of two to
four plows, seem to work profitably
on the sized farms
One problem that has arisen with
the expansion of the tractor field is
the question as to who shall control
the distribution. The agricultural
implement dealer considers the trac-
tor market included in his domain.
The automobile dealer of the country
town contends that the tractors con-
necton with the automobile, coupled
with his own complete knowledge OF
the internal combustion motor and OF
economical sales methods unknown to
the implement man, makes 1t prod
uct which he is best equipped to
handle, Either the implement man
must broaden his knowledge of the
internal combustion engine or the
motor vehicle dealer must learn
something of agriculture and add i'm
plements to his line.-Oregonian.
