The Farm Tractor HERE ARE 24,000,000 horses and mules busy with farm work tn the United States, It takes five acren of crops to feed each horse. About one-fifth of the produce of the American farms tm paid to the farm horse for bie work, The average horse works only four hours per day. The farm tractor enables the farmer to do his work “oasler, better and do more of it." In the rush season it can work night and day. It ore powerful than the horse, can plow deeper, can work in hot weather as well as cold, can do practically anything that a horse can do, and many things which a horse cannot do—such as driving belt driven machinery, for example The farm tra instrument of peace It {8 a facility of the most peaceful of a Justries farming. ‘The farm tractor induséry {s distinctively a peace industry, yet the war, with ite terrible demands nen and horses, hae made the introduction of the tractor ¢ n more an urgent necessity s 2,000 American-made tractors right now—and can't get therm France has appro priated 30,000,000 franea for farm tractor m to rehabilitate the devastated and neglected Cields ery step mado by this country toward greater milits preparedness will hasten the demand for farm tractors is an The Automobile, the great trade journal de Voted to the industry the name of which it bears, says: “It is estimated that we will need in the next few years nearly 1,000,000 tractors. Various estimates have been made as to how many tractors will be need- ed in this country. The figure has been placed at 1,500,000, but it Is just about as sensible to make that estimate as an estimate made ten ye ago on th number of automobiles that could be sold would hav been sensible. There are 6,000,000 farms In the coun- try, and naturally everybody looks forward to the da: when every farmer will have @ tractor. We also | forward to the day when some farmers may have two, or perhaps three, tractors. Tho entire possibilities are ‘eat and the future so uncertain that it is impossl- ble to estimate what even the home dema quire. Then there ts the foreign field » bas big things in store, The American farms must be power- ized and the farms in foreign tande will also have to be tractorized.” Commenting on the great farm tractor dem- onstration at were held last Fall throughout the West and were attended by a half million interested American farmers, The Literary Digest says wit is bel eved that these events have brought able them to do their work better and, above all, to help them to do their seasonable work in season. The Ford Tractor is not a reconstructed auto- mobi nor is it constructed from automobile G¢- signs. It js designed and built distinctively as @ farm tractor gontaining only such principles of con struction as are advantageous for farm tractor work, It is designed for strength, power and durability— the essentials of rough farm work The Ford Farm Tractor is not a new or un- tried invention. The advantages of the Ford Farm Tractor had been proved effectively before this of fering of stock was made, About twenty months ago The Ford Tractor Company, Inc., began putting. out these tractors in a commercial way. The first Ford Tractor {s still in satisfactory use Hundreds of Ford Tractors have been dis- tributed throughout thirty-seven states and several foreign countries and, as a result of the success of these farm tractors {n general use in the hands of practical farmers, The Ford Tractor Company, Inc., now has in hand orders for thousands of Ford Trac- tors, sufficient to keep the factory working night and day. ndustry strip that of the motor car, and have hastened lutionary power in the agriculture of the world.” The Wall Street Journal says “there are in the United States alone 2,700,000 farms on which the present. models of tractors can be economically used.” Figuring only one tractor to each of these farms, and disregarding the remainder of the 6,000,000 farms in this country, this would make use for as many farm tractors as there are now automobiles in use in this country.” The farm tractor industry, therefore, prom= ises to equal, if not exceed, the profits made by the automobile industry, and to do it in lesa time. Auto mobile profits are now running at the rate of about $300,000,000 per annum, of which about $75,000,000 per annum fs being paid in dividends. Probably no other industry has pald {its stockholders such large profits in dividends. Those who invested in the early stages. of the automobile industry made tremendous profits, in some instances ranging from 100% to 1,000% per annum.
