TOPICS ON TRACTORS
OF VAST INTEREST

At first the tractor industry devel-
oped slowly with a production in 1912
of t1,5O0. Two years later the output
was $4,000 then $1,000. then $4,000,
and then 50, 900 in 1917. In 1918 the
output is estimated at about 100000.
1t appears likely that the output will
amount to $4,000 by 1920, If material
and labor are available.
II is estimated conservatively that
the potential tractor market will ex-
coed 1,250.000. Some estimates place
tho number much larger. II the av-
erage life of a tractor be estimated at
five years it would indicate an annual
replacement market Of 25O 900. This
together with the necessity of filling
the original market, makes it seem
quite possible that 10000 or even
800, 600 tractors may eventually be
sold in a year
It is interesting to note that 2j0,-
600 tractors at 1900 each means
market of $3.50, 900, coo, which is
about as large as the entire annual
output Of the agricultural implement
industry before the war, which
amounted to $164, 000, 000 in 1914 at
Manufacturers prices The tractor
industry in itself seeks to offer greater
possibilities than did the entire agri-
cultural implement industry before
the war. Conservation of food makes
il desirable that the tractor should re-
place part of the horses on American
farms, for it is estimated that each
horse or mule consumes about one
fourth of what it produces.-The

THE MILD WEATHER

Mild weather, which a large sec

pose in the motor car business. Early

rush of business will get a start much
sooner this season.

Allen, of tho Paige Sales and Service

the spring buying season to start in
almost full force, with the result that
motorists were compelled in many
ca ses to wait several weeks for de-
liveries and dealers were unable to
give the attention and prompt fulfill

4ofl companies by the federal trade
commission is provided in resolution
which Senator Poindexter introduced
in the senate today. He requests that
every phase of the oil business. both
producing ard marketing, be probed
with particular reference to fuel OIL.
In introducing the resolution PoindeX-
ter declared that coast oil consumers
are required to pay S1.S5 a barrel for
fuel oil which is sold in New Orleans
at so cents.
He said: 'Inasmuch as the Pacific
coast, through California oil fields,
produces more oil than it consumes,
there is no excuse for coast prices ex-
ceeding Atlantic and gulf prices"
Poindexter said the investigation, if
ordered would have direct bearing
on the whole cost of living question.
CONSUMERS who have filed pro-
tests with me claim the price of oil
or the Pacific coast was arbitrarily
fixed by the Standard Oil Company of
California" said Poindexter. There
il no real competition. The standard
Oil Company control has brought it
enormous profits enabling it to pay
dividends in the last three years of
165 percent While the Standard has
paid these dividends the prices of
fuel oil have advanced nearly three
fold

fled today in the big Columbia basin

best obtainable at that time.
