IMMENSE CROPS
BASIS OF BUSINESS
Prosperity of Farmer Shown by
Influence on the Auto
mobile Trade
By W. W. Ramsey
(General Sales Manager J. I. Case, T.
M. Company)
With the nvtieat crop of 1914 reach
ing the magnliicient total of 891,000,-
000 bushels and the corn crop passing
again on the two and one half billion
bushel figures, and a market exceed
ing the demand of all former years,
the prospects for the 1915 trade in
America are brighter than for a de
cade.
The tremendous European up
heaval may jar the balance of the old
world for a time but prosperity here
is bound to reign throughout the year.
Already the districts surrounded by
the great grain fields of the west have
begun to exert an influence on the au
tomobile trade that will restore much
of the confidence that disappeared
last summer. Then the mania for
restrictive legislation that seemed to
grasp parts of the country, has almost
wholly disappeared and on top of this
has come the favorable action of tho
Interstate Commerce Commission for
higher freight rates.
No institution in America engaged
in the manufacture of automobiles is
in closer touch with the farmer than
the J. I. Case T. M. Company and wo
find that in addition to the magniti
cient grain field, the economic posi
tion of the farmer is most favorable
to take advantage of the demand and
the high prices produced by the or
ders from abroad.
It is not an unusual condition to
find farmers holding most of their
1914 crops for even higher prices than
are now offered in the markets of the
world. They realize that America
must feed a great many more people
this coming year (than ever before in
her long and prosperous history and
while heretofore he has received a
good price for his crops he is now in
position to borrow more money than
ever on his grain and consequently
can hold it longer before selling it.
There was a time when the farmer
seldom travelled a great distance or
received any information of affairs
throughout the world except what
was brought by hearsay or he learned
second handed through his weekly
paper. But the inception of the au
tomobile and its great popularity has
changed conditions so that not only
the parcel post has been added to the
many advantages but the farmer can
travel a long way to-day and become
more enlightened on economic condi
tions than was dreamed of in the past.
Basing his action on the exports of
grain in 1914 compared with 1913,
the farmer to-day looks forward to
1915 as a year when he can have a
new automobile and all the other
things that he heretofore thought
entirely out of his reach. The total
value of the grain shipped out of the
country in 191 4 was $040,841,000
against $290,853,000 in 1913. In 1915
it is believed that the total gross in
come from the export of grain will
reach the $500,000,000 figure and
when the farmer reaches the benefit
from this great trade the whole coun
try will be immensely benefited.
The present market for automobiles'
has held its own in the cities and
towns but in the rural districts the
demand has greatly increased.
With the farmer satisfied and opti
mistic and the iron and steel indus
try recuperating from its 1913-14 at
tack of paralysis and the railroads
dissipating the undercurrent of healJ
tation. which marked their activities
in 1914, the general conditions look
mighty favorable for 1915.
Phenomenal Achievement
Claimed For Chevrolet
In speaking of tho recent perform
ance of the Chevrolet, George B. Zech,
of Hottenstein and Zech, said:
"That sensational race through des
ert, mountains, cactus plains, swollen
rivers—673 miles of it—saw a S7OO
Royal Mail Chevrolet dash from Los
Angeles to Phoenix, Ariz., in 26 hours,
scoring fourth place in a field of twen
ty starters. Only six of the twenty
survived. The Chevrolet not only led
in its class, but defeated cars of much
higher price, including Cadillac, Buick,
Stutz (driven by Burns), Cole, Sim
plex, De Dietrich, Kissel, Thomas,
Maxwell Special and others. On tho
first day's run—3o3 miles—the Chev
rolet was the first car to reach tho
night control at Needles, Cat., time, 8
hours 5 2 minutes, being second in
elapsed time, six minutes slower than
Oldlield—"The Master Driver of tho
World" —in his high-powered Stutsi
racer.
"Comparatively few people realize
what this gruelling means. There
is no contest like it In the East or Mid
dle West. Threading over steep, nar
row mountain trails, covered with
sharp, flinty boulders; along canyon*
and precipices full of treacherous
turns; through barren desert, quick
sand washes; blinding, powdery, al
kali dust which blows and chokes
drivers—all this was encountered.
Through torrents of rain; fording
deep, swoolen streams repeatedly; oVer
bumps that strain and bruise driving
crews almost beyond human endur
ance, as well as racking most cars to
pieces—these were a few conditions
with which competitors had to con
tend on the 673 mile route. Only
cars of the stamina of the Chevrolet
can stftnd such racking and pounding."
Detroiter Eight Inspected
by Many Since Its Arrival
The interest and enthusiasm which
the eight cylinder Detroiter created
b.ith at the New York and Philadel
phia Automobile Shows has reached
a climax since Conovcr and Meliring
received their model yesterday. This
car affords a new sensation to the
motorist heretofore accustomed to a
four or even a six-cylinder car.
One of the most noticeable features
in the new "eight" is the remarkable
freedom from vibration, due to the
light and exceptionally strong recip
rocating parts which are made of
special alloyed steel, machined to a
close margin, giving almost perfect
balance.
With the new eight-cylinder De
troiter It Is possible to attain maxi
mum speed within the distance of an
average city block. The "get away"
powers of the eight are a revelation.
Another impressive feature of the De
troiter eight Is its wonderful hill-,
climbing ability of the Detroiter.
The superb finish and equipment of
the new Detroiter eight is a revelation
in modern motor car building. All
recording Instrument* are combined
in one unit and every controlling fea
ture is instantly accessible to the
driver.

mobile parade will be an opening fea

Firestone
Tires Win Venice Grand

BARNEY OLDFIELD IN A MAXWELL
Finishes First Traveling Three Hundred One Miles at
Sixty-eight-and-one-half Miles Per Hour Without a Stop
Over this hot macadam road which ground down tires like a giant emery wheel, Firestone tires again
achieved an international victory March seventeenth.
Ninety-seven laps were covered in this race which meant that each of three right-angled turns were
rounded ninety-seven times, an additional terrific tire test. Out of nineteen entrants only six finished the
race, so severe was the test Of men, machines and tires.
This is only one of the many drastic
tests through which Firestones have
come victorious in recent months.

Haynes Will Have Exhibit
at Frisco Exposition
"A Haynes ,Light Six Model 30
chassis will be exhibited at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition, San Fran
cisco. in the Palace of Transporta
tion," states C. E. Iloin of Roberts
and Iloin, distributor of America's
First Car. "The chassis will be iden
tical with the one exhibited at the
New York and Chicago Automobile
Shows. A skeleton cowl is fitted to
the chassis to carry the control in
struments in such a manner that their
connections with the various units
may be seen at a glance. While the
chassis is complete in all details
ready for running, the important fea
tures are emphasized by nickel plat
ing, in order to give the exhibition
an educational value. The latest de
velopments of the automobile indus
try are embodied in the design of the
Haynes Light Six chassis. Its sim
plicity and compactness will offer a
great contrast to exhibits of former
years.
"The Palace of Transportation con
tains exhibits of all means of con
veyances for travel under the water,
on the water, on land, and in the air,
but the automobile section is ex
pected to be the most extensive divi
sion. The automobile booths, which
occupy the entire eastern half of the
building, will be uniform in design
and there will be no railings or parti
tions between exhibits. The decora
tion of the automobile section com
prises some very appropriate panora
mas. that, though serving as mural
decorations, are in reality topographi
cal maps.
"The Lincoln Highway Is shown In
this manner on a scale of about 10
miles to the foot, so as to form one
gigantic panorama over 350 feet in
length. All colors of the various sec
tions of the country through which
the Highway passes are accurately
represented. Other sections of the
United States are exactly reproduced
in the form of these maps that give
the impression of looking over vast
areas.
"Linoleum is used as floor covering
throughout the automobile section.
The main north and south aisle passes
through Italian pergolas, and each ex
hibit will be indicated by large vases
at the four corners. The Haynes
trade name will appear on the bowl
of each vase marking the Haynes ex
hibit."
