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 situa-
ton. Farm laborers have been taken
into munition plants and educated
to expect and demand high wages.
Emigration has been shut off for
tour years and probably will be cur
talled Tor many years to come. The
return of all the soldiers and sailors
to civil life will not re-establish a
market of cheap labor such as the
farmer formerly depended upon.
Labor Shortage Perils Investment
The farmer in the Illinois corn belt
with a farm valued at $500 or more
per acre must therefore make him
self Gas much as possible) indepen-
dent 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 immediately-or his big in
vestment, his whole years pros
poets, 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 prevailed, will
make them receptive to tractor
arguments in the future.

The economy of Chicago Tribune advertising

portionate cost of Sass.

on which a tractor may work to
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 proftably only on large tract
of land or fertile tract of land.
Central West Farms Grow Larger
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa are notable
among all the states in the Union as
having the largest percentage Ofsland
devoted to farmS-the greatest per-
centage of farm land in crops--the
highest value of farm landper acre
the largest number of farms of from
100 to TIA acres each. These factors
combined have produced the eXtraor-
dinary 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 rep
resent the largest per farm invest
ment' 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-
gine more generally understood or
better appreciated thaninthe Chicago
Territory. This region produces one
third of he gas engines of the United
States. In thegreat agricultural state
of Iowa there is one automobile to

Of the nonmers twelve farmandsOme
possessing thousands of acres in states.)
All the above people buy The Chicago
Tribune on their own initiative; solely
because they want to read it. Chicago Daily
Tribune circulation is volunteer, paid in
advance, absolutely unsolicited.
It is obvious that the type of farmer who
reads daily metropolitan newspaper of the
character of The Chicago Tribune must be
the most desirable type imaginable-mo
receptive to tractor advertising and best able
to purchase.
Note also that The Chicago Tribune reaches
practically all the dealers and bankers Of this
town. In fact the list of Tribune subscribers
was stated by local authority to be prac-
cally directory of the families of wealth or
alhuence in that community. N

To appreciate such tremendous fact as Chi
cago Tribune circulation, one must ntegrate
it into the smallest possible units Then, by
imagining the combination of multitude of
these units, one may gain some conception of
the whole. {.
Take for instance the town of Chrisnan,
Illinois, population 200. Chrisman is located,
$50 miles south of Chicago in Edgar County,
one of the richest in the world agriculturally.
