American Tractors to Farm the World
More than 214000 motor tractors will be built in the United States this year and about 90000 worth 100 million dollars sent abroad to boost farm output worldwide. One man with a tractor replaces six men, thirty horses, or a hundred oxen, aiding war-affected Europe with labor shortages. Tractors run on kerosene or gasoline with magneto ignition for reliability. By 1920 about half a million American tractors will be at work, and the U.S. leads global production.
