Six months ago, someone told me

AMERICAN TRACTORS TO
BE FARMING WORLD

More than $4,000 motor tractors for
farm use will be manufactured in the
United States this year. according to
the estimate Of the agricultural depart
ment.
Ninety thousand OF. these tractors, rep
resenting about 100000, 900, will be sent
abroad to foreign countries and will
be used to increase the crop production
of nearly every country in the world.
Working a tractor, one man can do
more work than six 9 30 horses or
a hundred oxen under the old-fashioned
methods formerly in vogue. This will
make up, in a large way. in Europe
for the shortage of men caused by the
war,
The power of all tractors Is derived
from internal combustion engines. The
fuel used liz generally kerosene, though
seme use gasoline. Practically all have
magnetic ignition, because of its intense
spark, simplicity and absolute feliabil-
ity. 1t would be impossible, in foreign
lands, to use any other form of igni-
ton.
The sturdiness of the magnetic en-
ables it to withstand rough sag and
being a seff-contained generator Of cleo
trieal energy, which requires no atten-
ton or replenishing, 1t has made the
use of American tractors possible every
where,
Altogether there will be about half
a million American-bu farm tractors
at work In 1890, where there were prac-
tically none five years ago. The United
States leads the world in this line OF
manufacture.-G. W, Morrison.

NEBRASKAS AUTO
TAXES ARE BASED
ON CARS WEIGHT

Nebraska has just been added to the
list OF states which have given officiaI
recognition to the part scientific light,
weight plays in correct automobile
manufacture, according to notification
received by the Franklin Automobile
company, Of Syracuse, N. Y.
Following, by a few weeks only, sim =
liar action taken by Canada and Wyo-
ming, the decision Of the 1919 legisla E
lure at Lincoln, Neh., TO tax automo-
piles entirely on the weight, again
demonstrates the growing tendency te
pr.Relple. /. ~ ~
Nehraska's drastic change in Its
motor vehicle laws Ii already being
worked out practically by the register
ing OF all automobiles according TO
actual weight, Enforcement OF the law
has been delegated to the state hoard Of
IRRIGATION, drainage and highways.
lhts decision follows one of the big
engineertng lessons OF war experience;
mat 1t Is possible to build lightweight
cars and maintain u higher quality of
performance and reliability, lighter
weight coming from the elimination OF
the many unnecessary parts used in the
water-cooling system,
me decision Of the Nebraska legis-
lators gives the scientific lightweight
ear the recognition due because OF lis
greater utility, and admits that the
lighter vehicle Is entitled to lower tax
rate because the wear on highways IL
80 much less and consumption OF natu-
raj resources, Hike gasoline and tires, Ia
also Il minimum,
