Various estimates have been made as to how many tractors will be need ed in this country. The figure has been placed at 1,600,000, but it is Just about as sensible to make th estimate as an estimate made ten years ago on number of automobiles that could be sold would have been sensible. There are 6,000,000 farms in the coun- try, and naturally everybody looks forward to the day when every farmer will have a tractor, We also look forward to the day when some farmers may have two, or perhaps three, tractors. Tho entire possibilities are #0 great and the future so uncertain that {t is impossi- bie to estimate what even the home demand will re quire, Then there is the foreign field, which has big things in store, The American farms must be power- ized and the farms in foreign lands will also have to be tractorized.” The farm tractor industry, therefore, prom=™ ises to equal, if not exceed, t fits made by the” automobile industry, and to do it in less time.
