animals would maintain 40.000.000 peo- pie. the population of France.
 On the big majority of farms there is not enough animal power to meet the need. Our enterprising farmers saw this year ago. That is why the farmers have over 1900 900 automo- piles. about 100000 tractors. close to 2,000.000 gas engines and thousands of motor truckH. This enormous and rap- idly increasing engine power is the one solution of the labor shortage The farmer who has to depend on horses will be at a marked disadvantage against his neighbor whose tractor is on the job early and late, twenty four hours day if necessary and eats only when it works.
 Through wise government adjust ment. it now appears that the manu lecturers of motor farming machinery will be able to increase their produc- tion, though it will fail short of meet ing the demand. Owing to the lack of material only 55,000 tractors were manufactured in the United States last year. It is hoped that the production will go nearly 100000 this year. But with over 6.OOO,00O farms in the United States, according to 1910 census. the total output is still "a drop in the l bucket"

Thrilling Trip

Climbing attitudes of 10000 feet. oucking snow clad mountains in mid summer. pushing through heavy mire tor days in drenching rains, fording swollen rivers. travers:ng unmade roads for miles and miles-these are some of the interesting high lights in the report of grilling automobile drive from Mexico to Western Canada
 This uncommon trip of 2,5O5 miles was made in a 1916 Dort by A. H. E.. Beckett, newspaper writer. MT. Beckett, who started on his journey from Juarez, Mexico, has just arrived at Calgary, Alberta, his destination.
 MT. Beckett says that his car made 23.06 miles to the gallon of gasoline between Juarez and Denver, but the balance Of the tour was under such terribly difficult conditions that the average at the finish had been reduced to 1l.O9, which he considers remark able under the circumstances.
 The old Dort never failed me-" he reports. Crossed the Big Horn Noun tains in snow July l. forded several rivers without trouble and the car needss only a little readjustment to make it good for another grind just as hard. Car was touched only once by a mechanic on entire trip. Tire record excellent despite road condi- tions.'

Two billion dollars. the cost every year to the farmers of the United States to maintain three million dol lars worth of horses and mules for their farm work. This is one reason why the motoriZation of the farm should take place just as rapidly as possible. When it comes to spending two-thirds the value of your power plant to keep 1t running, it is high time to see where improvements can be made for economy.
 Some statisticians say the horse and mule power of American farms is cost ing more than two billion. That would be only $50 a head for the 25,000. 900. They say $l00 per head would be more nearly correct under present condi- tions.
 That is not the worst of it. These 25,000,000 horses and mules are con- suming some millions of tons of food that human beings need-food that should go into our markets and across the seas to our boys at the front and our allies. Nearly one fourth the to- tai cultivated acreage of the United States is required to feed our work animals. The food supply of these
