erably over 100000 cars. and the
prospects for even larger production
are very favorable
The production Of trucks multi
piled about tenfold in the years end
ing 1918. the growth being steady
throughout this period. Motor
trucks should see much wider use in
the future. In time they will very
likely replace the railroads for
transportation over a short haul
The old fashioned horse cart is rap

cry Is the order Of the dav. The i'm
provement in roads should widely
encourage use Of motto trucks and
also passenger cars.
Tractors Developing.
Motor tractors are a very recent
development in farming. In 1914
only 1850 tractors were produced
in the United States. but the output
has been moving steadily upward
since and I'm 1918 amounted 10 1885,
600 tractors. All conditions favor a
rapid expansion in the use of trac-
tors. The department OF agricul-
ture estimates that more than 3O0,-
900 tractors will be absorbed by the
home demand during the coming
year The future OF the tractor in
other countries is very bright in
deed. Horses and mules were lost
in considerable numbers during the
war and tractors viii undoubtedly
take their places.
Motor Trucks.
Motor trucks as a whole have al
ready had rapid advances doubtless

ments. The tire stocks and those Of
other motor accessory companies
have also had sharp advances. At
