[the AUTOMOBILE
j AND THE FARM.
I It is said that eighty-five thous
| and automobiles, a fourth of this
country’s output, are owned by
farmers a fact of tremendous
import to rural life as well as to
the motor industry.
Not many years ago the auto
mobile was considered as alien,
if not as hostile, to things agri
cultural as a bull yearling would
be to a manicure parlor. In those
days the automobile was looked
upon as a sort of demon of speed,
and so in many, instance it was.
or as a novel luxury for the pam
j pered rich. One of the favorite
; comedy scenes of the motion pic-
I ture shows was the sturdy grang
er and his son hidden on either
J side of the country road, ready
'to stretch a rope against the on-]
dashing joy riders.
Thatltime, however, has long
gone by. The utility of motor
vehicles has become as evident
as their^Tpleasure. Singularly
enough, the automobile turned
out to l>e of even greater service
to the country than to the city.
Asa developer of good roads, its
influence has been Iteyond all
calculation. And more'than this,
it has made its way directly in
to the farm and has found a place
among the live stock.
In many communities, particu
larly in the west and in Georgia,
too, the automobile is coming to
be used as a market wagon. It
can cover the distance to town
and back in less than half the
time the mare or team of mules
would take. It brings the school
and church many miles nearer
home and fosters sociability the
county around.
Thus the automobile will play
jan important part in checking
the drift of people to the cities
and holding them on the land,
for the surest means toward ac
complishing this great end lies in
making farm life more attractive
and enjoyable.- Atlanta Journal.

is a large class of disorders j
