MORE THAN 2,25o,ooo
FARMERS RAISING WHEAT

ny cosmopolitan news Service.
More than 2,250,000 farmers are
today raising wheat in the United
States. In three years they pro-
duced total Of 1850, 900 900 bushels,
which was greater than the produc.
ton Of any other country in the
world. This enormous production
overrah domestic requirements by
500 900. 900 bushels, and provided an
annual surplus of 10000, 900 bushels
for which 1t was necessary to find
foreign market.
The foregoing figures are taken
from a bulletin just issued by the
United States Department Of Com.
merce showing the magnitude of
wheat-growing operations in the
country.
Approximately $4,000, 900 acres of
land is annually devoted to wheat
raising, the department said. Most
Of the wheat going into foreign
trade moves down the Great Lakes
to Buffalo and other Eastern lake
points. thence by rail to New York
and Baltimore. This Is explained,
the department said. by the fact
that q Accent rate on the Great
Lakes will often carry a bushel Of
wheat twice as tar as a 12-cent
rate on land.
Last summer the a1l-rail rate from
Duluth to New York for export was
% cents per bushel. while the lake
and rail rate was only about l3
cents per bushel, It was said.

INDUSTRY.
EXPECTS BIG
YEAR
Manufacturers Preparing for
Greatest Spring in History
Of the Business.
BY MARSHALL B. WALKER.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. D.
Anticipating the greatest spring
business in the history Of the auto.
mobile industry, manufacturers to-
day are attempting to prepare for
the demand by laying in heavy
stocks in warehouses and ship
ments to dealers. Employment is
on the increase, and factories are
stepping up production as rapidly
as possible.
January saw orders piling up in
many OF the larger factories and
little storage was done. But the
beginning Of February witnessed
the plants nearer capacity and
auto builders hope to lay away q
good supply despite the fact that
sales continue to break records for
this time Of year.
Employment in the automibile in.
dustry shows a healthy gain. De-
troit factories have reached a new
high of 237,813 persons employed
an increase OF 37,823 in four weeks
land 1892 above the peak Of last
spring. This is but one Of the
cars this year than ever before.
This column has forecast previ-
Eously that production would reach
100000 this year, despite the
fact that others have predicted 1924
would not exceed 1928. Another
Iproponent Of the record output be-
lief came forward this week when
Edward s. Jordan, of Jordan Auto
mobile Company, Of Cleveland, pre-
dicted that final figures for this
year will show more than $500, 900.
Larger production plans OF the
industry for 1924 are reflected in
business reported by motor acces-
sorry manufacturers in the last
three months. Three hundred Of
these firms report sales for the
fourth quarter Of 1923 totalling 80
per cent greater than during the
fore.
Trainload shipments already have
started out in anticipation Of this
springs demand. Every effort is
being made to avoid a repetition
or the shortage OF last year.
| The record is incomplete yet but
It Is expected that production for
the month will equal that Of the
last months Of 1923. February il
expected to exceed the correspond.
ing months last year.
Odds Motor Works at Lansing,
Mich, made around 5000 cars last
month, or more than q 400 per
cent increase over January, 1928,
The demand was so big, however.
that sales could have been greater
If manufacturing facilities had per-
mitted it. Production is now about
$50 daily and will be boosted as
rapidly as possible. January out
put was about equally divided be-
tween closed and open models.
Ford is continuing his heavy op-
Grating pace and is expecting an
improved foreign trade, advance
orders already coming in heavily.

were remarkably well maintained
