Kong reports an increased demand
for motorcycles compared with 105
cars and nine motorcycles in De-
cember, 1916. A canvass of dealers
and garages indicates that between
25 and 80 new cars have been order
ed. all from the United States. Most
OF them are popular priced machines.

AErER-WAR TRADE PLANNED.

Reports Of huge after-war schemes
in French motor circles have been
prevalent for a long time but few
definite announcements have been
made. Now comes the news that
the Berhet company of Lyons,
France, has formed an auxiliary
company, with a capital OF $1,000
900, with the intention OF building
and putting on the market a popu-
lar automobile, TO be built in series
Of $4,000 and sold complete at $1,000.
No official announcement has been
made regarding the type OF car, but
1t is we'll known in automobile cir
cles that Berliet has closely studied
American production methods, that
he has had in hand all the popular
American cars and that experiment
al models on these lines have been
built. Thus It is safe to assume that
the 81, 200 car will be a six-passenger
touring model with electric lighting
and starting.

GOOD BRAKES WILL SAVE TIRES

Tire economy, especially on hard
ened or slippery roads, can be gov
erned by braking efficiency" says the
manager Of a large rubber company.
Make sure that both brakes take
hold with equal effectiveness, keep
the brake Innings clean and dry, and
use moderation in applying them.
Never apply them so suddenly that
the wheels become locked, causing
the car to slide over the road by its
own momentum. / have seen tires
with a section the size OF a mans
hand gouged out Of the tread when
uneven brake tension caused one
wheel to lock. and slide while the
other rolled. Let the wheels keep
turning, but under the Stacking pres
sure OF the brake, and the car will
be brought to a standstill more
quickly, In greater safety and with
out detriment to tires"
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1918-03-09

the car will bring the replacement
part in an hour or two so that the
time lost by the men and machine
is reduced by several hours.
The Social Benefits.
The automobile makes it possible
for the farmer to keep in close touch
with his neighbors and with the out
side world. He and his family and
farm hands can attend church, So
cial gatherings, entertainments, pO-
litical meetings. lectures on improved
agricultural methods, good roads
meetings, in the evenings and on
Sundays, and return home at a rea-
sonable hour Meanwhile the horses
get necessary rest in the stable. Thus
all are refreshed and fit for the next
days work. The younger children
can be driven to and from the graded
schools that are replacing the old
one-roOm district schools and regu-
larity of attendance greatly increas-
ed.
This facility Of getting about
easily and quickly relieves the
monotony Of farm life, makes the
boys and girls and help more con-
tented and tends to Fetard the move
ment from the farm to the city.
Replaces the Horses.
Every passenger automobile used
means that at least one horse can be
dispensed with" concluded the head
of the automobile manufacturers as
sociation. Each horse requires five
acres of land for his support. BY
using the car, the farmer can devote
FIVE acres Of good land to raising
wheat, potatoes or other staples for
human consumption, or for raising
beef or mutton. A motor truck takes
the place of at least one team, and
on a large farm requiring a great
deal of hauling, will do the work or
five or six horses. This will release
from ten to thirty acres, sufficient for
the support Of three to ten human
beings. At present high prices of
farm products the farmer loses
money on every horse he keeps"
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1918-03-09
AUTOMOBILE WILL
Be GREAT HELP IN
FARM PRODUCTION
Tractor and Truck Also
Named as Practical Aids
to Speeding Up Work

On the American farmer rests the
responsibility of feeding the allied
armies in Europe and also the civil
population OF the United States and
to a very large extent that OF Eng
land, France. Italy and Belgium. At
the same time the farmer is confront
ed with a shortage Of labor, high
wages and greatly increased cost Of
keeping horses. These conditions
make it necessary for him to increase
his own efficiency and that Of his
men and his land.
''TO do this he must make more
use of time-saying and labor saving
machinery" said Charles Clinton,
president or the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, in an inter
view. 'aThe farm tractor for plow-
ing, narrowing and cultivating af-
fords the farmer the most advanced
means of greatly increasing his pro-
duction without hiring more men or
using more horses. The automobile
and motor truck furnish a means Of
Independent transportation that is
essential to the farmer under present
conditions.
Needs Such Transportation.
mo element Of our population is so
dependent on individual transpOrta-
ton as the farmer. Usually he is
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton and he has a great volume Of
hauling to do. With a motor truck
he can haul larger loads than with a
team of horses and can make several
trips to market in a day for every
one with team. The horses can
be kept on the farm for use in the
fields and for various other work.
With a motor truck it is entirely
practicable to haul load OF farm
produce to cities forty to fifty miles
away and return home the same day.
This is highly important in view of
the critical freight congestion on the
railroads and the need Of relieving
them Of short-haul work.
The superior speed OF the motor
truck enables the farmer to take ad-
vantage Of dry weather, when the
roads are in good condition, to do the
bulk of his hauling" continued Mr..
Clifton. 'It also permits him TO get
immediate benefit Of market condi-
tions when prices are high.
Owns Passenger Car.
Farmers appreciate the many ad-
vantages Of the passenger automo-
bile. This is shown by the fact that
there are two to three times as many
motor cars in proportion to popula-
ton in Iowa, Nebraska and other ag-
ricultural states in the middle west
as in New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, Massachu-
setts and other industrial states in
the east. Farmers are estimated to
own nearly half the automobiles in
the United States and are the larg-
est buyers at the present time. The
largest increase in registrations dur
ing the first half Of 1917 occurred in
agricultural states, as follows: Ar
