am not in very accurate posi-
ton to criticiSe some of the sales
methods now in force. but I should
like to indicate what seems to me.
speaking in quite general terms, both
from the attitude of the farmer and
business. that it is frequently a short
sighted policy. Some time ago, in
glancing casually over the distribu-
ton schedule of a leading light truck
manufacturer, was somewhat. sur
prised to note that district quotas had
been determined arbitrarily That is
to say. having produced a certain
number of trucks, the number to be
distributed to the various sales dis
tricts had been prorated with no very
accurate knowledge of local crop con-
ditionS. Of course. such a scheme.
backed by advertising and hustling
sales force. would probably dispose
without difficulty of any normal out
put But it seems to me that a more
accurate distribution could be made
and larger production insured if the
conditions and state of the various
local farm markets were carefully
studied as to their actual absorptive
capacity
Base Distribution on Crops.
Let me cite case in point from the
tractor situation~of this year. Certain
tractor manufacturers, pursuing the
policy of an arbitrary fixage of dis
trifution. found themselves early in
the summer with a relatively large
number of machines still unsold This
condition obtained in the northern
states in the corn and wheat area.
Fur Their to the south. however par
ticularly in Oklahoma, there was at
the same time, if not an actual dearth
of tractors. at least great difficulty
in supplying the demands of the
farmers. a superficial analysis seem
ed to indicate that in the north. due
perhaps to certain political influences
pending economic instability, that the

farmers were holding off from buy
ing. hoping for sharp break and
decline in the tractor market with
subsequently lower prices for these
implements. These conditions may
have actually obtained, but a more
thorough analysis indicated that the
reason why there had not been a nor
NAL absorption of, tractors was due
principally to climate and soil con-
ditions.
Lessened Demand for Tractors.
In brief. owing to an exceedingly
wet spring. long drawn out seasonal
plowing was not possible with power
machines, hence the leSSened demand
for tractors. On the other hand. in
the southwest ploWing and cultivating
conditions had never been more favor
able In addition, the previous season
had produced bumper crops Still fur
ther. an active tractor propaganda
carried on by the various farm papers
and the agricultural colleges, plus
tractor demonstration and a timely
campaign of farm paper advertising,
had created very active market
Some tractor distributors were un-
able to meet the situation
The moral to be applied by truck
manufacturers is not far to seek
production and distribution schedules
should not be based upon an ar
bitrary fxage which ignores these
local fluctuations. up and down, which
operates among farmers and which
determines their qualitative buying
capacity. In other words, follow the
regional trend and tendencies through
out the country. and remember that
what is true for Minnesota may not
be true for Oklahoma. and that pro-
duction and hence distribution should
be governed by the natural law of
demand. OF course. I do not ignore
the fact that truck interest may be
deliberately propagated. In fact. /
am strongly of the opinion that the
education of the farmer in TIE pos
Sibilities of the motor truck as a link
in the chain of power farming has
only begun to be realized 1t must
be carried on. / do not know a single
farm paper of consequence in the
country that is not devoting it's edi-
torial and news resources to further
this end. But at the same time. if
the potential farm truck market is to
be developed to its highest. and if the
manufacturer is to be protected
against upder-production or over
production. a very careful check must
be kept of local climatic and economic
conditions.
