1928 AUTOMOT|VE
EXPORTS AT PEAK
Value Placed at $522,097,-
974, as Against $404,-
1920 in 1927.

During the year ended December 81,
1928, the total value of automotive eX-
ports amounted to 1922 097, 974. accord
ing to B. H. Cram, president of Grams
Automotive Reports, Inc. The 1928 ex-
port value total exceeded the CORE
spending 1927 figures by $117.314,e54
or 90 per cent. The relative i'm
portance of the automotive export mar
ket can be rather readily illustrated by
showing that during the year just
closed, the value of automotive exports
was nearly 100000 in excess of the
total wholesale value of passenger cars
and trucks produced in the United
States during the year 1914.
The recent expansion that has taken
place in the automotive export field
over the past few years is easily under
stood when we compare the annual
value figures of automotive exports for
the past few years. For example, in
1921. the total value of automotive ex-
ports amounted to $81, 928,347, while
in 1928 exports had increased to APP
proximately $525,000,000, thereby in
dicating an increase during the period
of SAL per cent.
During the period between the two
years just mentioned, an uninterrupted
increase has taken place. The follow
ing table of figures clearly illustrates
the steady expansion that has taken
place In the export market:
1921 $S1,92s,347 1925-$3I6,9 Os, 1875
1922 97,618,756 1896 335, 799, Sl4
1928 164,985,23 1927 4o4, 783, 120
1924 205, 489,889 1928 522, 097, 974
A study of the growth in the number
of units exported from the United
States also illustrates the remarkable
expansion that has taken place in the
automotive export market During 1921,
30.950 passenger cars and 7.480 trucks
were exported from the United States.
During the following two years
marked increase took place in the au-
tomotive export market. This expan-
sion can be readily comprehended If
comparison is made of the 1921 figures
with the 1928 exports of 127,035 pas
senger cars and 24,86l trucks.
During the period between 1925 and
1927 passenger car exports do not show
anywhere near the same rate of in
crease that was evident during the few
years previous to that time. During
this same period, however, there was
substantial growth in the export of
trucks; 1925 exports for this group
amounted to 60.116 units. while 1927
showed truck exports at 105,447 units.
The expansion already noted in the
value of automotive exports during
1928 naturally held true in the number
of units exported. Three hundred and
sixty-eight thousand three hundred and
passenger cars were ex-
ported from the United States during
1928. This represented an increase of
IS, $50 units, or 32.1 per cent over the
278,748 passenger cars exported during
the previous year. The total number
of passenger cars exported from the
United States in 1928 amounted to 9.6
per cent of the 3,826,6l3 cars produced
IN the United States during this same
period.

Missouri Shows Way
to Road Building by
Large Bond Issue

Instead of being the SHOW me"
State, Missouri could well say fol
low me-" the American Motorist,
official publication of the American
Automobile Association, commenting
on the recent $75,000,000 road bond
issue in that State.
THE significance of the recent
victory in Missouri in connection
with the $4,000 900 State road bond
issue can scarcely be overestimated.
This is not the first bond issue, but
an additional appropriation to those
previously made, the expenditure of
which will permanently lift Missouri
out of the mud.

PRUNING TOURS ARE
TO BE HELD THIS year

The pruning demonstration meet
ings, conducted by M. D. Armstrong,
Extension Specialist in Horticulture,
under the direction of the County
Agent for the last five years, are being
arranged into tour for this year.
Last year the majority of the time was
plots established, emphasizing the long
or high renewal system of pruning for
mature trees. While these plots will be
visited this year and the same trees
again pruned by the specialist, it is
expected that much less time will be
required for this work, leaving time
for other pruning problems.
In studying orchards, and especially
young orchards, just being started, it
has been felt by Specialist and County,
that too many are going ahead, making
the same mistakes in the forming of
the tops of our trees that were made
a few years ago. If it is possible to TO-
cate young orchards, and especially
one year old trees, we would like to
start some demonstrations with these
trees which would be continued. until
they reach ten to fifteen years of age.
Trees of various kinds of tree fruits,
will be included on the pruning tour.
There has been considerable discussion
on the pruning of the peach tree and
these, wherever possible, will be in
cluded, showing how to keep fruiting
wood vigorous and at the same time
low down SO as to get away from too
much work from ladder. Cherries
will also come in for special consider
alton.
These tours will cover Kennewick
and Richland one day, Prosser and
Benton City another day, and White
Bluffs and Hanford on still another
day.
Dates set for these tours are February
6 to inclusive. Definite dates have
not been set as yet, but may be an
nounced in next weeks paper.

POMONA GRANGE WILL
MEET here FEBRUARY 9

The crowd that attended the Pomo.
ma Grange at the Community Club
House at Benton City last Saturday
was one of the largest of the year
and those attending report a very
pleasant and instructive meeting.
The forenoon was taken up with the
regular routine business. During the
noon hour the White Bluffs band, the
official musical organization of the
Benton County Pomona, provided
music and the band played more or
less throughout the day..
A talk on Grange" by Mr.. Slavins
of Terrace Heights, Yakima, was err
joyed by all who heard it.
The forepart of the afternoon was
taken up by the comforting Of degrees
on large class by the Master Of the
Vale Grange. Later resolutions were
voted to increase the salary of slegis-
lators from SIS to $40 per day.
Dinner in the evening was featured
by music from the band.
The Pomona Grange is making
plans now to take the band to Spo-
kane in June for the meeting Of tire
state Grange there.
After dinner the lecture hour was
taken up with very fine program
prepared by Mrs. I. B. Hartman of
Benton City.
The next meeting Of the Pomona
will be in White Bluffs on second Sat
urday in February, February 9th.
