no serious obstacles in sight which

Optimism, born of the accomplish

of manufactured commodities averages
30 per cent larger than in 1921. The
farmer received approximately II per
cent more for his products Than in
1921, and the total volume of agricul-

The owner of a farm woodlot who
is looking to the future as well ms to
the present will prefer what Is known
as ian Improvement cutting to q less
systematic harvesting OF his timber
crop. forestry specialists declare. They
say that It will pay the farmer to
leave standing n considerable percent
nge Of those kinds of trees which he
wants to encourage In his woodlot.
These trees will seed the soil and fill
up the gnps left by the cutting.
All logging operations should be
made with the preservation and extern

mind.
1t is considered a good practice Mt
the first cutting tn remove trees like
the chestnut, aspen,- ironwood and

as.t AS the New York automobile show
draws to close il becomes more
and more evident that the above
represents the policy of the big auto
- @,4nobile manufacturers for the year
1923. Automotive experts in close
touch with the industry expressed the
opinion today that this would be a
great year for the big makers, but
would provide hard shedding for the
little fellows. 4
The trade expects to market well
over 10000 cars this year and the
big makers are firm in their lnten-
tion to make at least that NUMBER
In consequence there will be no over
flow for the smaller makers, as there
was in 1922. when large makers were
unable to keep pace with deliveries

creases rapidly in proportion and

The large companies are determined
to produce and sell tremendous num-

greatl yexceed the number of sales
which will put them on the right side
Of the ledger at present prices.

Dated at present. In most cases the
reductions were made more to balance
up certain models than to create a
new basis of competition.
Automobile engineers, however,
would not be surprised to see Ford
make another cut If he seems deter
mined to allow no other maker to get
within gunshot of his preserves.
Price advances seem about a $ far
distant as price reductions, although
there have been intimationS that Dodge
Brothers have given some roundabout
indications of such a possibility. In
the fall, however, a number of ad-
vances may be expected if the upward

today as they see the premier auto

close without having developed a

manufacturers. There is a general
feeling here that this failure of price
hostilities to develop should prove a
decided tonic to the industry.
There was note of quiet optimism
among the executives who have re-
turned from New York for the outlook
this year. but a conviction that 1923
was going to be a final test for some
of the weaker companies also was to
be detected
