Car Owners in AgricuI-

Based on a total registration Of
passenger cars, trucks and buses
amounting to 1890 900 in the
United States, Vt is interesting to
note that 30 per cent of all cars
are on farms. A large share OF
the farm-owned automobiles are
owned by Middle Western farmers,
as IS per cent Of them are car
owners, while IS per cent Of the
Atlantic Coast farmers are owners.
On the basis Of 1880, 900 cars in
the country, total of 1900, 900 Of
them will be found on farms. Mil
Ter tire statisticians figure from
this that there are seventy cars
for each 1000 persons or one car
to 14,3 persons.
Almost half OF the total registra.
ton is in cities of 100 900 and over
and in towns from 1000 to 5000
population. In other words, IS pe,
cent of the total cars are on farms,
