tured.

The story Of the manufacture Of
farming equipment during the
year 1920 contains some striking
facts in addition to showing what
a colossal business this is in the
United States,
In round numbers ths value of
the farm machinery made for farm.
ers amounted to S537, 100000.
more that half a billion. And the
startling thing about it is that a
machine unknown a few years ago
comprised more than third
the value Of all the implements
made. This is the gas tractor, the
feature Of the market. The value
of gas tractors made last year
was over $50, 100000.
The making of steam traction
engines has not been abandoned,
for there were about 100000
worth Of these furnished the
farmers, but the figures show that
it was a small item compared with
the gas tractors.
Next to the tractor came the
plow, for ages the symbol of farm.

But all this machinery made to
tickle the soil into fruitful smiles
did not go to the farmers in this
country. We manufacture for the
farmers ofthe world. Progressive
and up.to. date cultivators Of
Europe have long known that the
place to get the best farm machin.
cry was in the United States.
They have been coming to US for
years, and they did not forget
the way last year, in spite of the
slimness of their purse.
And the article that led here led

was more than $50, 900, 900, nearly
