From present indications the 1920
census will disclose the fact that only
30 per cent of the people Of the Uni
ted States live on farms or in towns
of less than $500 population. Ten
years ago "a per cent of the popula.
ton was rural while three decades
ago 70 per cent Of the total population
was classified as rural. Under condi-
lions such as these one Of the two
things must happen; either the farm.
or and the land must become more eff.
ficient in production, or farm product
prices must be maintained at such
level as to attract more producers and
10 enable the farm operator to nav
attractive wages thus gain and hold
farm help. These facts indicate that
prices for farm products will not como
down as long as there is production
under the stress of scarce and bioh
price labor.

Sheep and dairying are the most
important agricultural industries in
New Zealand Sheep and cattle run
together everywhere. 1t is found to
be very unbusinesslike there to run
either sheep or cattle alone. because
each class of stock thrives on certain
feed that the other doesn't use readily
and perhaps not at all. This will
seem quite unbelievable to many peo.
pie in America who think sheep ruin
a pasture or range for cattle, but our
Federal Forest Service has found by
certain experiments that such joint
grazing, under proper limitations, is
most desirable, and many of our
fenced pastures have been thus
gra2ed, but the practice in New Zea-
land is so general that it seems worth
mentioning.

'It Is proposed that the remaining

these private and semi-private rooms
be graduated from small fee TO regU

able to pay a small amount, and does

Why Mileage Varies

"a Cord Tire gives vastly greater
service than a Fabric Tire.
An oversize tire will vastly excel
a tire that is undersize. Care. load
and roads affect tire service greatly.
Millers are uniform tires. That is
major reason for their supremacy.
But uniform tires will vary with
conditions. ~. ses

What Our Tests Show

We run tires at our factory ten million

These are radical tests. Tires are run con-
stantly, night and day, and under heavyload.
We want quick comparisons.
On our testing machines Miller Cords
average $4,000 miles, and Fabrics about
half that.
