Shows HE National Automobile Chamber of Commerce has recently completed 2 survey of the use made of automobiles by all classes of peopie in the United States. It finds that of the total car mileage in the United States, 60 per cent is for business and 40 per cent for pleasure. Of the farmers’ car mileage, how- ever, 78 per cent is for business and only 22 per cent for pleasure. Of a total of 7,000,000 car owners in the United States, 2,367,000 are farmers. Deducting ' the ' 2,367,000 farmer owners from the total leaves 4,633,000 car owners in other occupa- tions. ; If these cars are divided, as to busi- ness and pleasure use, just as the mileage is divided, the facts as to the use of automobiles in the United States may be expressed in this man- ner: Of 7,000,000 cars, 4,200,000 are used for business and 2,800,000 for pleas- ure. Of 2,367,000 cars owned by farmers, 1,846,000 are used for business and only 521,000 for pleasure. Of 4,633,000 cars owned by persons other than farmers, 2,354,000 are used for business and 2,279,000 for pleasure. Who, then, has the better right to a car, the farmer who uses it almost entirely for business, or the city dwell- er who uses it half the time for pleas- use? Here is another comparison set forth by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce: The average car owner adds 57 per cent to his efficiency through the use of an automobile; the farmer adds 68 per cent to his efficiency. In the face of these figures, what becomes of the cry of politicians that farmers are wealthy because they are able to afford automobiles? The facts are just the opposite. The farmers have automobiles because they need them in their business and use them for business purposes more than any other element of our population. If they didn’t have the automobile they wouldn’t be able to make both ends meet, in many cases. FLOUR CONSUMPTION FIGURES The per capita consumption of flour in the United States is 1.18 barrels per year, according to the United States department of agriculture. In several southern states the per capita consumption is .89 barrel, while the highest per capita consumption -is in North Dakota, 1.6 barrels. KUBANKA BEST YIELDER Kubanka wheat is by far the best yielder in . North Dakota this year, other varieties being considerably af- fected -by the rust.

Michigan Avenue, owned automobiles, 18,000 farmer- owned trucks, and approximately 100,000 farm tractors, there are 519 motorized Express Companies doing business in the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and this number is growing day by day. - IN addition to over a million farmer- Automotive Industries for 1920 declares ‘““Trucks are operating on railroad schedules, and have proved more dependable, on a time basis, than the steam roads have ever been. Their use to replace the freight car for certain classes of freight has proved a marked success.’’ The Smithsonian Institute, United States Na- tional Museum Bulletin 102, says, ““In respect “to prompt delivery of farm produce, whether to railways or directly to towns, the motor: truck has an exceptionally useful opportunity.’’ : It is these motor trucks, tractors and farmer- owned automobiles that are largely increasing " gasoline consumption, particularly in the Middle West. : During the first four months of 1920, the pro- duction of gasoline increased 13%%, while dur- ing the same period, domestic consumption of gasoline increased 33%%. sumption over production has been a potent factor in the advance of gasoline prices, but the dominant underlying reason has been the in- crease in the cost of crude oil. The service rendered by the Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) lies in manufacturing and dis- * tributing to the tractor, the truck, and the auto- mobile a dependable supply of gasoline and lubricating oils, and selling them at a fair price. The latest refinery methods are producing a continually increasing percentage of gasoline from each barrel of crude oil. While large-scalc production and distribution assure maximuri economy in this industry, the savings effected by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are utilized to hold down gasoline prices despite the rising tide of demand for petroleum products.
