Some Results of
Packard
1907 War Work

Figures released for publication at
the close Of hostilities show that the
Packard Trucks on the fighting fronts
numbered 1000 more than the trucks
Of any other make.
Over four and half million pounds
Of freight and express for the Packard
Company were carried by Packard
trucks during the past year. Exactly
$500 Packard vehicles were sent to
cousgnees under their own power
which, with the freight and express
transportation noted, released at least
1000 freight cars to haul the mountains
of war materials % desperately needed
abroad. This 10 very substantial re-

THE WEEK
Reduced crops-Answer to Raids

Government figures show that the
farmers in the winter wheat areas
have reduced their wheat acreage by
100000 acres. Present acreage is
about 100000 less than that OF
1915. We have here the silent ans
wer of the neglected producer to un-
favorable conditions. This answer
also meets the stories about great
farm prosperity effectively.
If the farmers had done we'll with
winter wheat last year and had the
mans now they would plant a larger
rather than smaller acreage. But
there is no way by which the farmer
can continue putting more into the
ground than he takes out. The rye
acreage is smaller by 100000 acres.
In fact, we shall find reductions in
all lines of farm products in which
price fixing or "cost- of-living" raids
have resulted in unfair returns. The
consumers must pay for the smaller
production with higher prices next
year.
Allowing 10 bushels to the acre, we
shall be short 12O,O0O,0O0 bushels of
winter wheat next year.
