AUTOMOBILE HELPS
TO SAVE FOOD SUPPLY
Every Horse. Displnced by Auto. Frees
Five Acres for Growing,
Says Tire Mum.

Every time an automobile displaGes
horse, five acres are added to the
agricultural area of the country.
Among the economic influences uf the
motor car, this is one phase that is
commonly overlooked. according to
Imam l.. Pfeiifer, general manager
of the Miller Iubb.r Company. OF
Akron. Says Mr.. Pfeiner:
AS one Of the largest manufacture
crs OF automobile tires. | am naturally
keenly interested In the development
or the automobile industry. and az Il
business man am not quite selfish
enough to want to prosper at the ex-
Densc OF the economic welfare of the
country. Therefore. when some quite
prominent men in other lines take the
position that tho amazing increase in
the automobile and allied Industries
mas not added to our economic strength
and general welfare, want to know
the facts.
There are about 26.000.Co0 horses
In the United States. and each horse
consumes six or seven tons OF food
n year. II liz easily figured that an
average of five acres IS required to
furnish food for each horsc. This
means total of I3O.oO0.0oO acres OF
land devoted to pastures and raising
hay-over 100000 square miles. This
means nearly five States as big as
Ohio--or area larger than Ohio. In
diana. Illinois and Iowa. devoted to
feeding horses instead Of people
"Of course, the releasing of all this
area from pasture useS and making
IL available for tho support of popu-
lation will be tremendous economic
gain. In dozen other ways. the

sivc farmers by q. W. koincr. State
commissioner or Agriculture The oc-
casion was smoker given by the
Alberta BUSINESS Mems Association and
the farmers were greatly pleased. The
meeting was arranged by President NJ.
>. Barrow. OF the association. for tho
purpose OF getting tho association into
cooperation with the farmer of this
region that II may assist him I'm every
way possible. In calling the meeting
TO order. Mr. Barrow outlined the plans
OF cooperation, and then called J. f.
Grafton. Jr. to the chair. Mr.. Grafton,
always optimistic. cav brighter things
on the horizon for the progressive
farmer OF Virginia than ever before.
After very brief talk, he introduced
Mr.. Koiner.
The commissioner briefly outlined the
work OF the state Agricultural Depart
ment and then discussed most inter-
cs,ingly tho modern methods Of better
farming" by way of showing that
Virginia Is getting abreast OF the times
in this respect, he said that whereas
many Of the Western States had shown
decrease in the yield of wheat per
acre, tho Virginia farmers have brought
forth much larger yields; that In 1900
EirginiaE average was only sixteen
bushels TO the acre. and in 1910 il
had jumped TO twenty-eight bushels
per acre and has been Increasing since
then.
Mr.. Koincr emphasized the import
ance OF improving the soil by sowing
moro l"guminous crops. such az COW.
peas. sofa beans. crimson clover and
alfalfa. Alfalfa is the coming king
crop OF Virginia" he declared He
spoke at some length on this subject.
going into details, as he had learned
tina; the farmers Of this section are
beginning TO grow this grass and are
anxious TO know more about the prop
aration Of the soil, etc. He stated thai
II was one OF the best soil improvers
and that II made, by far, the best feed
grown on the farm.
Successful marketing Is the prime
object every farmer should be inter-
ested in at this time" said he, and
here he brought To his, hearers many
facts, which are detrimental both 10
the producer and consumer. and recon- :
mended doing away. as far as possible.
with the middle" man.
His talk on the selection OF seed was
very profitable. and he advised the
farmers to pay special attention TO this
fact. or buy their seed from some re-
liable firm. regardless of price.
lie made Il special appeal to the
young men to study farming. as they
would any other profession, and to
stay IN the farm. He predicted that
farm land would double in value in
the next decade
Al the conclusion of his talk. the
association and the farmers gave Mr.
h Joiner rising vote OF thanks for his
valuable talk.
