for human consumption. A tractor
does the work Of from three to six
horses. The Samson Iron Horse does
the work of three and the Samson
model IN" the work of six. And as
each horse requires food from five
acres. you can easily figure where
pant of the city mans food goes.
Tractors and back to the land

to the fire boys for bringing them out
unnecessarily but it is sure worth

Another Back to the Farm Movement
Must Come.

Unless there. is another back to the
farm movement in earnest, soon, food
and clothing prices will continue to
advance in alarming proportion" said
the City Garage manager. local Sam
son dealer.
"As everything We eat and wear
ly or indirectly, prices Of these COM
modities of our daily existence will
continue to advance as long as the
scarcity Of farm help continues.
"The farmer isn't the man who is
benefitting from the high prices either.
"He is paying as much for every
thing as the city man. In fact, he
is offering as much for farm labor
as the manufacturer and is taking
many times more chances On his harv
est and the value Of his product than
the merchant or manufacturer. His
farm equipment, his clothing. etc. all
cost him as much as the city mans
and the profit he realizes on his pro-
ducts is much smaller than any per
son. firm or corporation handling il
after him on its way to market.
"The farmer is more than willing
to do his part but he realizes he can't
do it all.
'If he could hire help at the right
price he could give the city man the
benefits. He could produce more and
sell his crops for less but as things
on the farm are row he must sell his
produce for more and more in order
to make both ends meet.
There is by far less land under
cultivation this year than ever before
and it will not be surprising if the nom
producer in the city will find it diff
cult TO secure the necessities Of life
unless some economic change occurs
soon.
"A back to the farm movement will
do more to right the present circle of
wage and price advancement than any
one thing.
I'VE must give the farmer II great
deal of credit for the things he is do
ing for us.
"He works from ~ to 16 hours a
day to produce food for the city man
who is kicking and striking for an s
hour day, and leisure that he doesn't
know what to do with
"It might be disasterous if the fal
mer should strike for an hour day
Did you ever stop to think what
would happen?
''lf the farmer could get the proper
amount of help. the farm help and the
farmer would not have to work SO hard
and the farmer. the city man and the
country would be benefited.
'lf the abandoned farm homes were
filled up. the scarcity Of homes in the
city would be lessened and rents would
come down.
Unless the continuous economic
circle is broken by back to the land
movement. prices will keep on soar
ing.
"Of course Samson Tractors and
Trucks are doing their part in increas
ing food production. A tractor in
creased the value of a farmers time
from 100 to 200 per cent so this helps
the farm labor situation But if more
men would go back to the farms of
this country and if more tractors were
used the number of acres under cul-
tivation would be materially increased

During 1919 "AC's" Showed the Way

If 1919. added many fresh laurels to their
collection garnered in previous seasons OF

fifth and sixth.
In a total Of 5s1 miles Of road racing,
covered at a grand average OF 7os miles
,er hour. these plugs functioned without
single miss, the Santa Monica and Elgin
yictors having no ignition trouble Of any
xind and finishing with the same spark
plugs in their engines that they had when
hey started.
Tommy Milton, the most consistent
driver Of the year. also scored three
speedway victories with A. c. plugs. estab-
fishing a worlds record Of 1l2.4 miles in
ca capturing the ten mile race at Sheepshead
Bay and was deprived CT an opportunity to
non opolize the seasons laurels at Union
town by an accident on the next to the
last lap Of the 295 mile September sweep
stakes. when he had winning lead on the
field.
At INDIANAPOLIS, where the five hundred
mile international sweepstakes was re-
vived after wartime hiatus of three
years, sixteen Of the thirty-three cars that
competed were AC-equipped, the engines
of the other starters being fired by eight
different makes of American and foreign
plugs. Eddie Hearne, who took second
money and drove the first American car
to complete the five centuries; Ralph De-
Palma. who broke all records up to and
including $50 miles and captured sixth
place with the Packard. and Ira Vail and
Denny Hickey, who were eighth and ninth

Another speedway victory for AC was
the triumph OF Roscoe Sarles and the
Roamer Special in the $50 mile race at Los
Angeles in March, while AC-equipped
cars we're consistent place winners in the
meets held on the tracks at Tacoma, Gin
cinnati and New York. Eddie Pullcn,
Dave Lewis. Eddie O'Donnell. Art Klein
and Omar Toft being among the other
leading drivers that were partial to such
equipment.
The most notable dirt track performance
in which AC's participated was the VIC
tory Of Eddie Hearne in the one hundred
mile race at Phoenix. Ariz. last fall with
an average df sixty-eight miles per hour.
Eddie, incidentally, scored clean sweeps
in the late autumn meets held on the dirt
tracks at Hanford and Fresno, Cal.

High Percentage OF

There is probably no test OF the real
value Of an automobile today so strong
as that of repurchase. From the moment
that man or woman buys car and
his or her namo becomes public property
through the publication of State registra-
ton lists automobile statesmen set out to
win them over to the cars which they are
selling. Frequently these competitive
statesmen wait few months, sometimes a

opportunity 10 find out any weak points

not only shortens the distance
from carburetor to combustion

prevent complete carburetion and
result in the presence Of a certain
quantity of raw or unvaporized

The manifold passages are inclined
