AUTOS AND TRUCKS CAUSE
NO REDUCTION OAT CROP

Washington Mar. 6.-American farm.
ers are reducing Their acreage # oats
because of the rapidly increasing use
of automobiles and trucks, on the
theory that the horse and mule were
being made n hack number, according
to report by experts Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. They have
made special study of the situation
and say:
TThe number Of horses and mules
on farms, if decreasing. is doing Sc
at rate so slow as to have little or
no effect on s5l3 oat crop. Further.
mc:c, statistics show that American
farmers are not cutting down the
total oat acreage but are actually in.
creasing it. A great number of Amer.
lean farmers. particularly in the corn
are justified in making extensive
sowings IF oats each year"

Endurance Makes II

Hudson outscs all the worlds fine cars, onl
because of qualities that count In every day sci

Chief of these is durability. All motorists s.

And endurance is written everywhere In Hud

Since Hudson made its unrivalled enduranc

These Qualities Inspire
Pride in HudSOns

They valued of course by more than SO,OOO
Hudson owners. They contribute to the rounded
supremacy of performance which distinguishes
the Hudson everywhere And it is natural to feel
pride of ownership, and affection for car that
none can rival in heetness, or in hill-climbing.
But few will ever care to use the full limit of
Hudson speed. Few will meet hills to test its
limits OF power.
