The Best Farm Tractor Mark{
Is the Chicago Territory
More than One-7hrd of All the Tractors in the u
Are in Illinois, Indiana lowa Michigan and Wisconsin

The Chicago Territory occupies less
than one-eleventh of the area of the
United States, but has approximately
one-sixth of the population of the ma
ton and one-hfth of the total wealth.
These five states produce one-hfth of
all the farm crops of the United
States
Chicago is the food metropolis of the
world because it is in the heart of the
corn belt. Because of corn, the farms
OF the Chicago Territory were valued
at the time of the last census at Sill
962,294,O21, while the farms of the
other forty-three states combined
were valued at O2o,155,O96. The
value of the average annual corn crop
from 1911 to 1915 was 81 ,644 4511 900,
while that of 1918 from practically the
same acreage was 1888, 900, an
increase of $1,883,8 900. This sur
plus Of corn over the previous acre
age is greater than this years entire
wheat crop.
Never have the farmers of the Chi
cago Territory had so much ready
cash. Mortgages have been paid off
and Liberty Bonds purchased. The
Seventh Federal Reserve District,
which comprises only part of the
Chicago Territory and which contains
only 14%o of the population of the
United States, furnished 1920 of the
purchasers of Liberty Bonds.
This territory is made up largely of
level plains or gently rolling prairies

greatest advantage. The soil is deep
and SO fertile that it will produce
an economic return on large invest
ments of capital A tractor can be
used prohtably only on large tract
OF land or fertile tract of land.
Central West Farms Grow Larger
Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa are nota-
BILE among all the states in the Union
as having the largest percentage of
land devoted to farms-the greatest
percentage of farm land in crops
the highest value of farm land per
acre-the largest number of farms of
from 100 to ia acres each. These
factors combined have produced the
extraordinary leadership in tractor use
shown in the map opposite. Contrary
to popular conception there has been
a gradual increase in the size of Hi
nois farms and they are now larger
than in any period since the census of
1860. Illinois and Iowa farms repre-
sent the largest per farm invest
lrent'' of any agriculture section in
the world and are therefore best able
economically to utilize farm tractors.
Make and Use Most Gas Engines
Nowhere in the world is the gas en-
glne more generally understood or
better appreciated than in the Chicago
Territory. This region produces one
third of the gas engines Of the United
States. In the great agricultural state

OF Iowa there is one automobile to
every eight people. The average for
the country is one to seventeen.
During the past two years farmers
have suffered acutely from labor
shortage. They know that the end of
the war will not remedy this situation.
Farm laborers have been taken into
munltion plants and educated to ex-
pect and demand high wages Emil
grafton has been shut off for four
years and probably will be curtailed
tor many years to come The return
OF all the soldiers and sailors to civil

Labor Shortage Perils Investment
The farmer in the Illinois corn belt
with farm valued at $500 or more
per acre must therefore make himself
Gas much as possible) independent of
man power. Seasons wait for no man.
When the weather, the condition of
the soil, and the time of the year are
right, the farmer must act and act
quickly. He must get his blowing
done, his seed in the ground, irnme-
diately-or his big investment, his
whole years prospects, may be
ruined. The fact that many farmers
have had to forego the production of
maximum crops during the past two
years, when maximum prices pre-
vailed, will make them receptive to
tractor arguments in the future.

CORN PRICES FIRM
ON BETTER FEELING
Improved Sentiment Is Based
Partly on Good Demand
in Other Grains.

With better feeling prevailing corn
prices were yesterday firm. Corn was
up as much as to 81 cents a bushei
at its high point and closed near that
mark There was a decline after tho
opening, but II was recovered quickly.
and options held firm during the re-
mainder of the day, The better feeling
in the market was due to belief that
bears had had their day. good demand
In oats and rye and belief that the
steel strike would not affect grains at
the outset. Reports Of scattering rains,
which do not tend to do the grains any
great amount Of good. proved encourag-
Ing to bulls Stsadiness In hogs and
foreign exchange were factors In the
rise. Another reason which stimulated
buying was the fact that Il was thought
that the recent declines had driven out
many of the shorts. Tho hrm tone,
however. had little effect on the
shorts, as they were always able to
cover, as somebody unloaded when bears
were anxious to get out
Oats were particularly strong after
the frst hours because Of the tightness
OF the cash situation and heavy de-
mand coming from the South and the
East The decrease in the movement was
felt moro in oats than In corn. When
buyers tried yesterday TO get oats they
found that they were scarce. Crop re-

EXPLAINS MORGAN
WAR DEBT POLICY
Lamont Says U. s. Guarantee
Of Those of Foreign Nations
Would Be Uns0und.
UNwIsE FOR BOTH SIDES
Banker Replies to Letter Of
H. A. Wise Wood to New
York Newspaper.

Thomas w. Lamont, speaking in be-
half Of j. p. Morgan. now In England,
Issued yesterday n statement in an en-
deavoi to clear up misapprehension On
to Mr.. Morgan's attitude toward any
plan through which the United States
should guarantee the war debts of for
eign nations. His opposition to sucn
plan on the ground that Il would be as
unsound and unwise economically for
the foreign nations as II would be for
the United States was recorded In the
statement!
1t appears that precisely contrary
views to those actually held by Mr..
Morgan have been attributed TO him by
Henry A. Wise Wood In letter to the
EveBit0 Mol, and the Morgan firm hears
that the letter has been sent for pub
iication 10 other newspapers and cir
cularized among members of Congress.
Mr.. Jamonts statement was as follows:
The views attributed to Mr.. J. j..
Morgan (who is at present abroad) by
Mr.. Henry A. Wise Wood in letter
to the Evening MdiI of September
10 are precisely contrary to those
4 which Mr.. Morgan holds. Mr. Woods
letter has, am told, been sent for pub
| lication to several other newspapers and
circularized among members OF Congress
The letter declares that certain MI
/ O'Neiii. connected with the Manchester
(England) GnaYdidn. stated 10 Mr.. Wood
that Mr.. Morgan was in favor Of plan
by which the United States should guar
| antee war debts of foreign nations.
"on the contrary, Mr.. Morgan believes
40 do all Of his partners, that to have
the United States guarantee foreign
| debts would be as unsound and unwise
economically for the foreign nations as
II would be for the United States.
| Last spring general publicity was
| given to a plan tentatively suggested In
Paris by a British economist Accord
| ing to this plan Germany should make a
bond Issue In order to obtain funds for
the purchase OF raw materials in Amer
lea, ard Great Britain, France. the
United States and the other allied ma
lions should guarantee this bond issue.
This suggestion. which was purely in
formal, was, as the newspapers stated
| at the time. laid tentatively before the
American financial delegates at Paris.
My colleagues and ! Immediately took
the ground that no proposition implying
the guaranty in any way by the United
States of foreign Indebtedness could or
would be considered.
ANY question. such as the interna-
tionalization of war debts, IL of far too
great importance to be made the SUBJ
ject of Idle rumor. cannot, however,
find that any attempt was made by the
writer of the letter to obtain, by inquiry
from him or from some of his partners,
Mr. Mogan's actual opinion"

GARBAGE PROBLEM
PUZZLES MAYOR
May Prepare a Surprise fol
Some Persistent Law
YioIators.

Mayor Coaoyay Is having a diff
cult time finding out who the guilty
parties are who persist in throwing
trash and garbage along the streets,
over the hills and IN vacant lots.
Complaints come in constantly, not
only to the bad saiitary condition OF
Water street and vicinity but as to an
equally bad condition of other streets,
some Of them in good neghborhocds.
It's a mystery to me, Says the
mayor, "why the neighbors around
these dump places don't watch care
fully and find ont who is throwing
bags and garbage and other trash,
reporting the names instantly to me.
l can then fine them and this may
nelp remedy the matter. 1t looks TO
me as though the man in the family
was carrying bundles Of garbage with
him to work in the early morning,
throwing It wherever he found a
good place. Last year this method
Of disposing of garbade was tried by
a number and was brought to rude
end when number of grocery slips
were found in one of the bags of
garbade with the mans name on top.
