Return of the Farmer to Manufactur.
ing Market
While foreign trade will be the
feature of 1926, the domestic situa-
ton will also be favorable because of
the improved position of agriculture.
There are more than 5000. 900 farm
families in the United States. which
represent the largest single block of
buyers.
1t is a tribute to the stability of
the automobile business that it has
been able to go forward at a time
when agriculture was having a hard
time.
One reason for this is that automo-
bile prices have been constantly low
cred so that the farmer can purchase
the average car for sos bushels of
wheat today, while it required 1882
bushels in 1913.
In general. however, prices of COM
modities have remained high with
the exception of foreign products. so
that agriculture has been at a dis
advantage. Whereas at one time the
farmer represented one third of the
automobile purchasers, the percentage
for two or three years declined to
around 5000.
In 1925. with agriculture in better
economic position it is expected that
this groupSof buyers will be actively
in the market again for manufacture |
ed products and that the automobile |
business will benefit along with the |
others. |

This industry. directly and in.

600 persons.
About 100000 of these are engaged
in the manufacture of cars and
trucks. The remainder are factory
workers in the parts, accessory and
raw materials plants, or engaged in
the sale or the professional operation
OF automotiye products.
The automobile business is the
largest industry in the country, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Commerce, the rating being
based on the wholesale value of the
products. This fact has consider
able bearing on the general economic
picture, because when the largest
business in the country is active it
means that there is an enormous
payroll which is utilized in buying
groceries, shelter, clothing, shoes and
the other products which people use.

perlty all along the line.

SOLVING THE
DET0UR PROBLEM

Despite efforts to put the business
OF routing motor tourists on an ac-
curate and scientific basis, the Ma
tional Touring Board of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association finds
that the problem of the 'DETOUR",
which springs up overnight, still con-
tinues to be a big source Of worry
and loss of time to the national
cavalcade of motorists.
The plan for the elimination of this
trouble. put into effect during the
1925 season by the A. A. A.. promises
splendid results. according to the Ma
tional Touring Board. and will be ex-
banded for the 1926 season. 1t in
wolves the issuance of a detour map
and weekly bulletin covering the
entire country. The bulletin itself is
to be based on daily Geographic re-
ports from State Highway Commits
sions, from county authorities, from
A. A. A. clubs. road scouts and indi-
vidual members.
The detour bulletin will show not
only the location of detours on the
primary highways but will give the
length of the detour and the condi-
tons to be encountered. In some in

| stages and become integrated with
the great transportation systems of
the country.
Railroads, motor trucks. electric
lines and motor buses are. by the
laws of economics, finding their most
| efficient fields of service and are
working together for better CO.
! ordinated transportation.
The independent motor truck and
motor bus operator will always con-
tinue active and successful in BUSH
ness in various sections. but the CO.
ordination is present. nevertheless.
because these operators are learning
by experience what fields yield a
sound financial return and are not
competing over distances where the
railroads can serve more effectively.
There are now fifty-one railroads
using motor trucks as part of their
shipping service compared with
thirty-three at this time last year.
The number of motor buses used
by street railroads is now 5,000 or
double that of a year ago.
1t is likewise interesting that there

What Will Happen in Our Cities?
In National Terms
There is one field of motor trans
portation which faces a number OF
difficulties. That is the motor travel
in our large cities. believe that we
are at the peak of our difficulties
here, but that this peak will continue
approximately on the same level for
two or three years in most of the big
cities.
In Los Angeles, New York, Cleve-
land. Detroit, one finds an acute con-
gestion of traffic which hampers the
free flow, the economy and the safety
of motor travel.
This congestion must go. it can be
done away with. But it takes time.

Detroit will be helpful. the rebuilding
of st. Louis will be benefit to that
city. But until these various
