MOTOR CARS HAVE GREATLY LESSENED DEMAND FOR OATS Chicago, Dec. 27.—American farmers are losing approximately $20,000,000 a year on their oats crop. and probably a ke amount on their hay crops, through the use of autemobiles, motor trucks and tractors, which have largely supplanted the use of horses in the cities, according to Robert McDeugal, pregident of the Chi- eago Board of Trade, in analyzing the effeat of motorized hauling on the horse and grain market. Mr. McDougal be- lieves, however, the pendulum is swing- ing the other way, pointing out that the prices on good dpaft horses are advanc- ing. “In 1810 there were 3,500.000 horses in the eities,” said Mr. McDougal, “while in 1920 there was & trifle more than half that number. Most city horses are fed upon oats and hay. Oats prices recently averaged 65 cents below wheat prices, whereas befere we began uging gasoline they averaged 62 cents below wheat. This is & ioss of three cents per bushel, which based upon an average crop of efie billlon bushels nets the farmer a tidy Toss. ~ r ) “There is ne doubt the big powar trac- tor has reached the saturation point. In many farming sections high-powered tractors were bought by small gize farm- ers, It was a disastrous venture for many. In the eities, many businesses turned thelr backs upon the horse for short hauls with frequent stops. Today the farmer is feeding a yard of colts and the horse ig coming into his own for short hauls. “The harse will never come back to his old place in the city, but he is going to be sure of an important place in mov- ing several varieties of commodities.” ‘Who ever heard of an actress seek- ing a divorce without publieity ? —_— 'RYZON BAKING POWDER | | y | You us /ess Do You Want a Victrola ?
