1919"
Much can happen between nov
and the harvest of fall crops, it il
pointed out, but taken as whole
the main crops promise fairly vel
except in the case of winter wheat
The present nice balance in both
livestock and crop production is a
tribute to the readjustments made by
American farmers since the fall OF
1921"
The central fact in the present
outlook is that while production will
be ample to meet consumption needs,
agriculture will not be in the mar
ket this fall with any large surplus
Of the major products.
Wheat harvest is in full swing,
the report continues. "The grain
ripened prematureIy over much of
the western part of the belt and har-
vest is early. Threshings so far have
turned out unsatisfactory yields, but
the grain is of fairly good quality.
1t appears evident that the winter
wheat crop is decidedly short of last
years crop; so much so that the
chief conjecture throughout h eI
wheat growing world is how the
shrinkage in this country will bal
ance up against better crops abroad.
The spring wheat region from Min
nesota to Montana has high hopes in
spite of some local floods in the east
and minor setbacks elsewhere
"The outlook in the corn belt is
good. Hogs are relative
ly high priced and may go higher.
The pig survey shows decline of II
per cent in the number of spring
pigs compared to last year Corn
prices are not so high as to prohibit
feeding, and everything points to
feeding season ahead. 1t
S from conditions like this year,
when price ratios furnish a stimulus
o feeding, that the corn belt can
Usually hope for some degree of pros
,erity"
The departments price index of 80
arm products is placed at lat for
une compared with LAG in May, the
Ive-year period 1sO9-14 being used
s base of 100. Present tendencies
n the general business situation
oint to little change in prices of
onagricultural commodities, and
no marked change in
he purchasing power of farm pro-
ucts need be expected for June, the
arm purchasing power figure for
lay having been 80, the same as in =
pril.

But if there were some men who
! couldn't see the woods for the trees
there were others whose faith never
faltered
1t took a lot of vision for them to
see that the true market for the au-
tomobile had hardly been touched.
It took a lot of courage for them
to bank on the ultimate success of
the automobile in that market.
They had both.
Back in 1915 the United States
Rubber Company said "The real flu
ture Of the automobile is not in the
big cities but away from them"
It is not in short runs on city
streets, but in mile after mile on
country roads"
SO back in 1915 the United States
Rubber Company began to prepare
for this moYement-and to help it.
In 1915-ten years ago-the first
U. S. Tire advertising began to ap-
pear in the "home town" papers.
Few people saw these papers in
their true dimension.
Few realized the influence they
had on what the people thought and
did and wore and bought. Because
few people realized the place they
filled in the minds and lives of their
readers.
The United States Rubber Conf
pany saw.
As clearly as it saw that the devel-
Dpment of the automobile would be
In the smaller communities, it saw
hat the people in these communities
would have to have tires to measure

% sell them.
And it saw that in the "home
own" newspapers it had. ready to
land, the medium to help it put tire
merchandising where it would have
o be in the new era of the automo-
Tile.
So ten years ago people began to

WANT ANOTHER
MONTH IN YEAR

There is a movement on foot to es-
tablish the 13-month year-a year in
which there shall be thirteen months
of four weeks each. We oppose the
innovation on two grounds - first,
that getting bills twelve times a year
is sufficient and second. that with a
year of that simple sort the date will
always fall on the same respective
week days and there won't be any
use for calendars, and then how will
we cover up the dirty spots on the
wall?
