FARM OWNED MOTOR
Gain

Modern farms now are well mo-
torized, and during the last decade
the number of farm-owned motor
vehicle has increased more than 25O
per cent, according to the Automo-
bile Club of Southern California
WHICH points OH that in the same
period the numbr of farms in the
country has increased 2.3 per cnt.
The automobile, the club reports,
has made it possible for the farm
er to supervise a largr area and as
a result the fences have ben stead
lily moyd and 1880 finds the acre
age of the average farm consderab-
ly larger than ten, years ago.
In 1920 there were '2,8S5,6S1 mo-
tor vehicles on the farms, as COM
pared to 5,677,5O0 in 1880, and it is
evident that the farmer has found
a new freedom in the automobile.
Census figurs show 6,297,S77 farms
