Lincoln Highway, the Midland Trails,
and other transcontinentaI roadways
across the country. The total mileage
is more than $500

mercial schools are training tractor
operators. They have built the founda-
ton which will enable them to enlarge
their operations to any degree required
under a proper plan.
President George w. Durham, Of the
Society of Automotive Engineers, and
his co-laborers have presented argu-
ments that it is entirely feasible through
the proper use OF tractors to furnish
almost any amount of small grains ro-
auired for the worlds food supply.
The necessary land is available in
almost unlimited quantity and capable
operators for tractors can be supplied
through the conduct of properly CO.
ordinated systems Of application. Through
the furnishing Of proper operators and
government supervision the operation Of
be increased greatly The increase
in then production Of small grains
BY increasing the efficiency of these
tractors already available Will be no in
considerable item.
The greatest increase IN the small
grains crop is, however, obtainaole
through the employment OF tractors yet
to be manufactured. The present manu-
factlring equipment of the country is
capable Of producing at least IS'oD trac-
tors a year under governmental aid; To-
900 additional tractors could without
question, cultivate in one year sufficient
land to produce l,OOo, 100000 bushels Of
small grains, giving a 90 per cent in
crease Of the present small grains crop.
with a program of increased tractor
production the small grains crop can be
doubled or trebled within two years. In
fact, the possibility of increasing the
small grains crop in the United States
by tractor cultivation is limited only by
the land available.
With reference to the labor problem
it Is to be said that with proper opera
ton one man with a tractor can accom-
plish more than two men with horses;
the labor problem is relatively less seri-
Gus than II animal power were depended
upon for correspondingly greater yield.
The Society of Automotive Engineers
Is committed to the policy of furthering
tractor production and use by all the
means within its power. Having head
quarters in nine different cities, includ-
ing New York, Minneapolis, Chicago, De-
troit and Washington, It is in a very
good position to proceed effectively with
its program of full cooperation. Lead
ing tractor engineers are members OF
the society.

tanned with only passing attention by
the owner to this part of the motor car.
The top is in greatest danger when II
is folded for spring and autumn driving.
OFTEN the material is pinched by the
bows or top fasteners, and the fabric
stretched out of shape. This can be
avoided by care in lowering the top. An
occasional brushing. inside and out, will
keep the top in good condition and pro-
long its life.
The top may be washed with SOAP
and water to remove the accumulation

FOOD SOLUTION LIES
IN Use OF TRACTORS
AutOmotiye Engineers Propose Plan to
Increase Grain Crop.

It has become a truism that the food
shortage with which the country rs now
confronted is 30 serious as to demand
the careful consideration of all persons
responsible in any way to the nation
for It's food supplies. The Society Of
Automobile Engineers has recently point
ed q practical way to proceed in lncreas-
ing the small grains crops.
An conservation and distribution OF
foodstuffs under government direction
must of course be based upon the crops
produced. The amount Of several i'm
portant crops has for some time been
decreasing with relation to the country's s
population and the war has Of course
aKgrayaesd conditions. To give assur-
anos 10 tha farmers IN planning their
operations the government will probably
set Q minimum price on some crops for
q tsrm OF years, as has been done In
England
The present inability Of farmers to
raise more grain Is due to lack OF suff-
cient farm power and the scarcity of
farm labor. For farm power the farmers
are dependent upon sither horses and mules
or tractors. The animal power On the
farms will Of necessity decrease owing
to the demand Of the army for horses
and mules, and II the farmer should
start now to raise horses in the hope of
increasing the supply, II would be four
years before they would be available for
farm work.
This condition indicates clearly the
necessity of the Intelligent use of farm
tractors on q large scale. The tractor
does not tire as a hores does, Is not ar-
fscted by the heat, and can be operated
twenty-four hours q day II necessary.
Many tractors are operated ineffciently
now because farmers do not unde rstand
hern sufficiently well to get tn best
results.
Accurate statistics collected by the
Bureau OF Farm Management Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture show tina there
are now available in the different States
approximately 5000 tractors.
/ The limiting factors today in I pro-
duetion Of tractors are shortages Of ma
tsrials, machine tools. and labor. The
governmsnt has been asked by the
