Canada, Newfoundland and a number
Of islands, has an area Of 9,75O,0o0
square miles, while the total area of
the United States and It's possessions

has u littA more territory, but it Is

Bp The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Ameri-
can armer are not reducing their
acreage of oats because of the rapidly
increasing use OF automobiles and
trucks, o nthe theory that the horse
and mule were being made a back
number, according to a report by OK
perts of the Departments of Agricul-
ture. They have made a special study
Of the situation and say:
THE number of horses and mules
on farms, II decreasing. is doing so at
a rate SO slow as to have Hthe cr no
effect on the oat crop. Furthermore,
statistics show that American farmers
are not cutting down the total oat
creage but are actually increasing 1t.

CARS GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
During Great Battles People on This
Side Found Out Many Benefits Of
Motorized Transportation In
Various Ways.

Wonderful as was the work of the
motorcar in Europe during the last
few years of struggle there, and de-
spite the vast angles Of future devel-
opment which were opened by the u
tomobile's accomplishments in the bat
tie zone, the biggest thing that the war
did for the motorcar industry was done
here at home.
This Is the opinion of @. A. Pfeffer.
general manager of a large motorcar
corporation, and what this big thing
is expresses concretely Mr.. Pfeffer's
idea Of the future Of the industry. Al
though he believes that the true sig
n%ificance of the stay-at-home work of
the automobile will come only In the
light Of more mature retrospection, he
believes that some Of its most promi-
nent features are apparent even to.
day.
Pave Way for Prosperity.
"What motorcars did right at home
TO win the war did more, In my opin-
ion, to pave the way for a more pros
porous future for the automobile in
dustry than any other one thing" said
Mr.. Pfeffer. 81 realize fully that right
now we associate the war and the n
tomoblle with the splendid service and
~incalculable benefit which motorized
transportation was to the armies in
the field, Just as we associate the sol
diers part In the struggle with the I'm.
questioned heroism of the men in the
front line trenches.
"But, In the same way as we neglect
the greater majority of the fighters
who battled at home, we neglect the
much greater army of m0torcars which
went into the struggle on every road
In the United States. But, because
we were so close to the st~ay-at-homes.
1t Is hard to get the proper perspec-
tive on them.
Touches Vital Spot.
II think I set my finger on the vital
spot when l recall the fact that dur
ing the war more people found out
the benefits of motorized transporta-
ton from both the business and rec,
reational side than eve had known II
before.
''The business men who were forced
TO speed up their daily life and found
that speed could be obtained by the
use OF an automobile; these same
men who discovered the vocational
benefits of the automobile. which
could be utilized without loss Of bust
ness, time or efficiency; those who
tried the motorcar In their business
and daily life as an experiment and
fChnd the results were far better than
they had expected-all these were
awakened by the work of the automo-
bile at home"

TEXAS YIELD OF WHEAT WILL
BE POOR THIS YEAR

The Texas wheat yield promises 10
be poor IN comparison with the coun-
I try ~ large, for although shortage
Of l60.OOO,O0O bushels under last
I years Is estimated by the Department
I u Agriculture, this Is relatively small
Z IN comparison with drop Of 1000
600 bushels 10 10000 600 bushels in
his State. this being the estimate Of
I II. b. Dorsey, secretary Of the Texas
/ Grain Dealers Association. The coun-
try's wheat production IL estimated
10 ISL 100000 bushels.
{ All agree that the weather In re
cent weeks has been favorable TO the
hlling out Of the grain and a recent
report that Oklahoma wheat has i'm
! proved from II per cent Oh May
20 SO per cent at present, would prob
ably hold for Texas. except that both
percentages would be less The es-
innate Of the Oklahoma Agricultural
Department is yield Of 100000
bushels.
Grain Crop Spotted
ID. f.. Lyday. president of the Texas
Farmers Union, made the trip the
other day from Oklahoma City to Fl
Worth. He declared that the grain
crop along the route was spotted
in some places looking like a good
yield. in Others light yield Most
of the wheat north of here, however.
is better than that in this county.
Lyday said he was told that from Ok
lahoma City north TO Kansas there
was real crop" of wheat
Lyday said he saw a number Of
moving machines at work IN the
fields.
Harvest is in progress in all the
territory south of the plains coun-
try, according to W f. Sterly. gener-
al freight and passenger agent Of
the Fort Worth a Denver City Rail
road No threshing has been done.
however so that IL is impossible 20
say much about the yield "The out
look is that the producers will be
agreeably surprised TO get a better
WELD than they expected two or three
weeks ago" Sterley said. THE wea-
ther has been very favorable. The
straw is light. fact that will make
the expense of harvesting lighter
than il was last year"
Need Harvest Hands
There is great demand for harvest
hands in the grain sections, and per
haps even greater demand for cotton
choppers. This is Indicated by the APP
peal sent out by the West Texas
Chamber Of Commerce, saying that
wages would be from 81 a day up,
and asking men 10 communicate with
any local chamber Of commerce in
the crop belt Of Texas
There are indications that a con-
siderable number Of men are going
from this section Of the State toward
the Panhandle fields and those of Ok
lahoma and Kansas. Many college
boys, Just out of school, are turning
their faces toward the harvest fields
for a summers recuperation Of body
and purse.
In view Of the stagnant condition
Of transportation, reflected in the
price quotations. II. 3. Dorsey has
sent letters to the State Commission
.r OF Agriculture and to the a. 4 NJ.
College, in which he advises farmers
to hold their grain, either in the
stack or in the granary. IN order to
avoid Cutting the market. He advis-
es that the grain be marketed as ac-
tually demanded by the consuming
public and as Il can be handled by
the transportation systems
